I was skeptic that a female razor could make such a difference but it does. Smooth, silky, knick free legs from a razor that’s ergonomic (no slipping!) and does a brilliant job! Who doesn’t want that?

Tongue Brush

July 18th, 2005 — 9:31pm

BUY AT: Drugstore.com

tonguebrush.jpgHad a friend not been raving to me about her tongue brush, I would have thought the very idea of a tongue brush weird. Why not just use a regular brush, I thought?

Turns out that the patented design really does make a difference.

The brush combined with a tongue brush gel does wonders; it eliminates bad breath, germs and helps cut down on gum disease. Use this and you won’t have to worry about offending someone with your breath.

Nana's Gluten Free Cookies

July 18th, 2005 — 7:48pm

BUY AT: Nanas or Whole Foods

nanascookies.jpgI am a lover of all things flour; cookies, croissants, cakes, crepes… oh my. I’m one who prefers afternoon tea to a fancy dinner. But the truth is, I have Celiac’s disease and therefor cannot now have gluten. This makes life hard for a girl who couldn’t go a day without her chocolate chip cookie.

Thank God for Nana!

Her gluten-free cookies are amazing and healthy! No refined sugar, no dairy, no hydrogenated oils, no eggs, no cholesterol, no added salt. What’s left to make them good, you ask? Lots! In fact, you don’t feel like you’re missing out on anything as these cookies (especially the ginger) are better than most. Four different kinds to try, they’ll keep you (and your belly) happy.

Power of One by Bryce Courtenay

July 13th, 2005 — 1:48pm

Buy at Amazon

One of my all-time favourite stories with a powerful and hopeful message. The movie version is good as a movie but it doesn’t reflect all that’s in the book. I first read this as a very large, hardcover book about 15 years ago and this version seems a bit different (it’s paperback, smaller, and some of the text seems different – perhaps it’s Americanised?) but it’s still worth reading.

The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd

July 6th, 2005 — 1:47pm

Buy at Amazon

I hesitated buying this book since it first came out, despite being rather charmed by the title. But knowing I’d have a trip soon and 3 hours to spare, and it was on sale at the local book shop, I gave it a go. It’s a sweet, well written little book that’s an easy read (I did it in the 3 hours). Sometimes it seems overly descriptive and states the obvious but I can ignore that for everything else it offers. The frightening part, for me, was that I read this book with a southern
accent the entire way through. This book does that to you.
