CSN Review!

February 26, 2011 by 11 Comments

Hey all! My order from CSN is now complete- and I’d love to tell you all about my latest finds!
First of all, my toaster blew itself out, and so I got a new one from CSN! I chose the Black and Decker Toast-It-All Plus 2-Slice Toaster in Black and it’s great. The price was right, I love the black color, and it fits on my tiny counter, haha.

We also picked out the 4-Device Universal Remote Control because the remote in my bedroom drives me insane- but this remote has no sleep timer, [Read more…]

Day of Honey

February 24, 2011 by 5 Comments

A luminous portrait of life in the Middle East, Day of Honey weaves history, cuisine, and firsthand reporting into a fearless, intimate exploration of everyday survival.
In the fall of 2003, Annia Ciezadlo spent her honeymoon in Baghdad. Over the next six years, while living in Baghdad and Beirut, she broke bread with Shiites and Sunnis, warlords and refugees, matriarchs and mullahs. Day of Honey is her memoir of the hunger for food and friendship—a communion that feeds the soul as much as the body in times of war.

I loved, loved, loved this book. The book opens up in the USA, NY to be exact, right after 9/11. The author and her Muslim Arabic boyfriend were not all that popular with everyone at that time. But they marry and move to the Middle East, where the two report on war, peace, and food.
You can tell the author is passionate about food- she writes about it like it is her lover. Like they have a secret, [Read more…]

Ocean Nasal Sprays Review and Contest

February 23, 2011 by 39 Comments

Tis the season for clogged sinuses! Ok, so maybe you don’t feel so jolly- but I know how to cheer you up! Ocean Sprays are just the thing to help clear you up and help you breathe. No one feels like themselves when they can’t even take a breath!
Ocean Nasal Sprays comes in 3 varieties, Kids, Complete Sinus Irrigation, and Premium Saline Nasal. As you know, we are fans of nasal cleansing in this house. I believe the best cure is in prevention. I have had these products for a while, because I wanted to try them before I reviewed them (I’m funny like that, LOL) so I hope that no one minds! My husband is a big snore-er, which I think I have mentioned (and complained about!) on numerous occasions, LOL. He also has asthma, so that’s super fun! Little Man is the Cold and Flu King, and the poor kid has been on the nebulizer all winter, and uses a humidifier nightly. He seems to take after daddy’s respiratory system, which pleases me not one bit!!!!
I figured Kamikaze and I would be good product testers for these. We breathe like regular old people, LOL.
The hubs took the Sinus Irrigation to try it out, and see how it compared to our Neti [Read more…]

The Story Of Stuff

February 22, 2011 by 7 Comments
How Our Obsession with Stuff Is Trashing the Planet, Our Communities, and Our Health-and a Vision for Change
Americans have way too much Stuff , and way too much of it is toxic. That’s the message Annie Leonard has been spreading ever since her college days, and most recently in her short Internet film The Story of Stuff, which has been viewed by over 12 million people. But the film is only the tip of the iceberg.
To tell you the truth- this book was not a page turner. It got boring at times, but it was highly informative. From giving information about water usage in making clothing, to giving suggestions to how to get companies to recycle more, the book was definitely [Read more…]
