Trader Joe's Almond Butter - Review

May 15, 2012

altDue to the healthy fat content, I've been eating a lot of almonds lately. Almonds are a perfect snack to help you feel full between meals. Since almonds are naturally healthier than snacking on peanuts, I decided to try Trader Joe's Almond Butter as a possible substitute or replacement for traditional peanut butter.

Tide Pods Review and Video

April 16, 2012

altHave you heard about the new Tide Pods Detergent? Tide Pods claim to be a detergent, stain remover, and brightener all in one. But, do Tide Pods work on tough stains?

I recently received a sample of the new Tide Pods to review. The new Tide Pods are a soft gel pack that dissolves in any temperature and works in all machine types.

Mr. Clean's Magic Eraser Review

March 21, 2012

altI often see products on TV and wonder if they actually work. I think there's plenty of commercials that conveniently set up the product to be an undoubted success, i.e. make the task at hand simple enough that there's no chance to fail. Mr. Clean's Magic Eraser seemed like one of those "too good to be true" stain remover gimmicks, so I never even considered buying them. I thought the Mr. Clean's Magic Eraser was just a sponge.

 

Trickomatics Multiplication and Problem Solving Program Review

March 13, 2012

altHave you ever seen the infomercials where the guy is standing in front of a classroom and yells out math problems to the kids as they raise their hands immediately with answers?

Well, I’m not sure how those tricks work, but I was granted a demo version of Trickomatics Math Tricks That Stick software recently and was able to put this to the test to see if there truly are some math tricks that enable you to process math problems in your head.

   

Discovery Girls Magazine Review

March 11, 2012

altI loved having magazine subscriptions as a child. I was a big fan of Highlights magazines, Teen, Seventeen, Glamour and more. But I never lucked into finding a good magazine for younger girls, i.e. as young as 8, that talked about life or encouraged creativity and empowerment.

 

Best Products of 2012 List Announced

March 07, 2012

altI'm easily irritated when I buy a product and it doesn't come close to meeting my expectations. I'd like to say it's safe to assume that if it's on a store shelf, it is worth a purchase. But in reality some products outweigh others. Better Homes and Gardens Magazine just announced the Best Products of 2012, which will hopefully help consumers sift through the 12,000+ products found in the average supermarket. I did a segment on FOX2 to discuss a few of the products that made the cut.

   

Workforce Microfiber Duster Review

March 06, 2012

altCould it be possible? Could my life have been made easier by the purchase of a $2.98 microfiber duster?

I took my kids to the Kids Workshop at Home Depot and we love walking around a bit after they're done with making their project to see if there's anything we might need. I guess you could say that it's working out for Home Depot to get us in the store to make purchases via the Kids Workshop.
