Phix Energy Review and #Giveaway

2011-12-08T16:32:00.000-05:00

I have to admit, when I received the Phix product to review I was skeptical. I have tried lots of energy drinks. I am not a big fan. They all have a weird after taste and they all leave me wishing I had just opted for a Cup of Joe or a Diet Coke. Most energy drinks have the crash and burn after the jittery high and they taste bad to boot. So...like I said I was skeptical. In addition to

Godiva Coffee Review

2011-11-01T11:48:00.040-04:00

Just the name Godiva makes most of us girls swoon! You see that Gold box when you open a package and your heart just skips a beat and your mouth starts to water with anticipation and then you start the task of trying to choose. All the choices....which one to pick.....then you make a choice and sweet sweet oblivion takes over! Well, imagine my anticipation when I saw my favorite chocolates

Lovable Labels Back to School Review & Giveaway

2011-10-03T22:02:00.001-04:00

I am not exactly the most organized person on the planet. I mean let's face it, ADHD and organization are not exactly two things one might consider synonymous. Getting back to school and keeping up with the kids and their stuff is tough for me, and for them. Three ADHD people trying to get ready for school and out the door is laughable at best most days. My boys get it honest at least. I

That game sucks the life out of me. I mean.....seriously! Until such time as I can actually purchase things (in the real world) with all the money I win in that game, I am not playing again. Unfortunately, they make

I've had this post running around in my head for over a week now. On August 5th, Nikki Minaj was performing on GMA on ABC and she had a wardrobe malfunction. I hate that term....wardrobe malfunction. It's sort of ridiculous. The fact is her boob popped out and you could see her nipple. The Parents Television Council was upset. Yeah, o.k., GMA probably should have been using a 5 second
