eShakti Review

2010-03-14T13:00:45Z

When I shop I want to walk into a store find the clothes I like in the styles I want and have them fit. Perfectly. Yeah, that's kind of a problem for me though because I'm 4'9". Shirts, pants, skirts, dresses, are all too long. I mean sure I could go shop in the kids department, but I don't want to take the chance of picking up my daughter's friends and be seen wearing matching outfits with them.

Not long ago I was contacted by a company called eShakti. I had read about them on other blogs, but kind of filed them to the back drawers of my mind. I'm very glad they contacted me though. eShakti is a women's clothing store, where the customer can decide how they want a garment to look and fit. Do you like that short sleeve top, but wished it had long sleeves, or are you like me and need about 3 (okay in my case more like 8) inches taken off the length of the pants? eShakti can do that for you. With stylish designs and fabrics, you can get the garment you wished you could find at the mall, and have it tailored specifically to your measurements.

Tropical Traditions Coconut Peanut Butter Review & Giveaway

2010-03-13T13:00:30Z

It is no secret by this point that I love Tropical Traditions products. A few weeks ago, I got to try yet another product from their line up, the Coconut Peanut Butter. I LOVE it! And by love it I mean, LOVE LOVE LOVE. I have tried different types of peanut butter before ranging from all-natural to exotically flavored, and Tropical Traditions Coconut Peanut Butter is definitely one of the best.

I have been putting this stuff on and in everything. Toast, brownies, apples, oatmeal, rice krispie treats. You name it, we've probably put the Coconut Peanut Butter in or on it, (did I mention I LOVE it?!!)

Pistachio DVD - Veggie Tales Review

2010-03-06T13:00:38Z

Big Idea EntertainmentThe characters in this DVD are familiar to most; an Italian toymaker Gelato (Larry the Cucumber) and his assistant Cricket (Khalil the Caterpillar). Gelato has no family (with the exception of some ducklings) to call his own and after receiving a piece of pistachio wood, carves himself a son; Pistachio (Junior Asparagus).

Little Pistachio however, does not want to listen to Gelato his father and gets himself entangled into a whole lot of trouble.

Combining the classic tale of Pinocchio and the parable of The Lost Sheep from the Bible, Pistachio is a lesson filled DVD about the importance of listening to your parents.
