Old-Fashioned Quaker Oats

I never used to like oatmeal and now I eat it almost every day.  I think that’s because I found the best way to prepare it.  I hate food that is too mushy… you know, food that you could eat if you had no teeth.  I’ve found that the first key to making successful oatmeal [...]

Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred

Jillian actually says to you, “I want you to feel like you’re going to die.”  I had to laugh out loud at that while I was doing her DVD: Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred.  It was a short laugh, believe me, because then I went back to huffing and puffing.  I work out a lot [...]

Post-Pregnancy Belly Wrap

While most expectant mothers are reading books about What to Expect… etc., I was combing the celeb mags trying to find out the important mommy things like: how did Jessica Alba look so good 8 weeks after giving birth?  How does Brooke Burke have a six pack after four children?  Well, trainers and personal chefs [...]

Givenchy Phenomen’Eyes Mascara

False lashes, when done correctly, always look great to me.  UM… I can’t do them correctly though!  I never have mastered putting the right amount of glue on a teeny tiny strip and placing said teeny tiny strip on my eye.  That is no easy task my friend.   My lashes are pretty long but definitely [...]

Barefoot Contessa Roasted Broccoli

I am OBSESSED with eating roasted broccoli.  Thankfully David likes it too because I swear to you I make it once a week.  It’s so easy, tastes great, and broccoli is supposed to do all kinds of good things for you like prevent cancer.  I know that’s kind of common knowledge now but just in [...]

Pandora Internet Radio

What do you get when you plug in the names of your three favorite bands at Pandora.com?  You get a sick playlist that lasts for weeks. What do you get when you rate 20-30 of them with ‘like’ or ‘dislike?’  You get a playlist so scary close to what you would actually put on your [...]

Boppy Swing

I’m pretty sure other new moms can feel my pain when I say: when I went to Babies R Us to register I was like “UH… ?!%&$”   That is one of the biggest stores I’ve ever been in and I felt so overwhelmed with all the products available.  I immediately turned to my friends for [...]

Panera Breakfast

I LOVE breakfast food.  Problem: I hate making it.  Second problem: is it just me or does it always seem impossible to get into a breakfast restaurant on the weekends?  I have only found one restaurant, so far, close to my house that takes reservations for breakfast.  Even then you have to have at least [...]

Tongue Scraper

The most accurate way to describe a tongue scraper: the cheapest way to alter your life.  Seriously… once you scrape you will be like, “How did I live without this??!!??”  It’s such a simple contraption that will dramatically improve your oral hygiene.  I should know; my mom is a dental hygienist.  (OK, so I have [...]

Honey Snap Out of It

If you have flawless skin no need to read this post.  For the rest of us there is an awesome product out there from Benefit (of course) called Honey Snap Out of It.  I have been a huge Benefit fan since one summer I befriended the girl who worked at the counter at Bloomingdale’s (what [...]
