Another hit from Clinique

Mon, 20 Nov 2000 16:42:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author LisaS - I've been using Clinique products for my skin for about ten years. I am pleased with every product that I have tried. It is good quality, mostly fragrance -free and it has never irritated my sensitive skin. This product is no different. It was...

She's dead the @#$%& is DEAD! So's the movie.

Wed, 30 Aug 2000 21:16:25 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author LisaS - Everyone and their mother told me to go see this "great" thriller. I was told that I would jump out of my seat, gasp in horror and not believe my eyes at the amazing plot twists.

I am considering getting new friends and family or...

Brave um, er... Patriotheart?

Thu, 6 Jul 2000 02:56:56 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author LisaS - Put everyone in a kilt, slap on the blue paint and the Patriot would have been a Braveheart remake. Not that Braveheart was a bad movie, but the same plot rehashed in a different historical period did leave something to be desired. I'll try not to give...

Warning! More addicitve than Bust A Move

Wed, 21 Jun 2000 21:39:21 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author LisaS - I first played this at a get-together at a friend's house and I was hooked before I even played. Even watching this game is fun. Then I got play.... and I was an addict. But unfortunately my friend had a copy from Japan and I couldn't find it here in...

A wonderful yoga guide

Mon, 19 Jun 2000 21:42:06 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author LisaS - This is a wonderful book for beginners and for advanced yoga students. I admit that I am a beginner but this book was recommended to me by my yoga instructor who has been practicing for 17 years and another friend who has practiced for 3 years. It...

Kettle Grillin'--Classic BBQ

Fri, 16 Jun 2000 18:33:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author LisaS - Although a gas grill heats up more quickly and there are models with more gadgets and dials than my dashboard this kettle grill by Weber makes a great barbeque. A kettle grill of this size is good for small barbeques, my husband and I fire it up for...

An A+ from a bagel snob

Sun, 30 Apr 2000 21:45:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author LisaS - After moving West from Ann Arbor, MI home of more gourmet bagel shops than university students I discovered that I was a bagel snob. Bagels are not just bread shaped like a doughnut, boiled bread or baked doughnuts. This is a concept that most grocers,...

Blame Canada for good doughnuts

Sun, 30 Apr 2000 21:25:46 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author LisaS - Tim Horton's the doughnut shop started by a hockey player and a staple of the Canadian landscape has hit the US in the last couple years. The company was bought by a large US fast- food chain (Hardee's I think) and entered the US fast-food market.

Mediocre-Mex

Sun, 30 Apr 2000 21:05:54 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author LisaS - I have eaten here only once. There is a reason for this. The food just wasn't very special, the service wasn't very special and there is a Chili's next door that offers great service, and basically the same type of food as Chevy's but with better...

Assemble your own stir fry-- they cook it

Sun, 30 Apr 2000 20:42:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author LisaS - This is a unique restaurant concept. You assemble your uncooked food into a bowl, they cook it in front of you on a huge grill for you. On paper this sounds a little silly but in practice it is a lot of fun.

The process...

It's all about the Arby Sauce

Sun, 30 Apr 2000 20:22:20 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author LisaS - Arby's is just something different than hamburgers--except for the Arby Sauce. Take any Burger joint and substitute roast beef for burger. They have roast beef with cheddar, lettuce and tomato, on a kaiser roll or on a sub bun. For the more health...

Always great food and lots of it!

Sun, 30 Apr 2000 17:38:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author LisaS - I have been going to Chili's for about 7 years. I've eaten at restaurants all over the country and have always had a good experience. Chili's specializes in Tex-Mex so be prepared for some sort of spice in most foods. It is not usually overpowering or...

More fun in one building than you can handle

Sun, 30 Apr 2000 17:15:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author LisaS - This is more than a restaurant, a pool hall, an arcade, or a bar but it has all these things. This is a wonderful place where you can bring anyone: your kids, a date, your buddies or your grandma and have a blast!!!!! (Yes, I took my 78 year old...

Gets the job done

Wed, 26 Apr 2000 01:50:53 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author LisaS - I don't find electric knives to be useful often, however they are great in certain situations and it is worth the $30-$40 just for the convienence. They cut big food like roasts, ham and turkey very nicely and these are dishes that I make only a couple...

Braun Multimix M 700 Hand Mixer: Magic in your kitchen--It does it all!

Wed, 26 Apr 2000 01:40:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author LisaS - Just recently I uncovered the potential of this system. It is just amazing. At first I just used it as a hand mixer and ignored the other features: kneader, chopper, blender. This is a great appliance for couples and singles. It is sized perfectly to...

Willis fans beware

Thu, 9 Mar 2000 16:53:24 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author LisaS - Saw this and was a bit disappointed. I wasn't expecting Oscar quality but it still didn't deliver anything special. I had been watching reruns of Bruce Willis in Moonlighting on Bravo and mistakenly remembered the funny Bruce Willis. Although I laughed...

Yummmmm Not too sweet not too dry

Mon, 6 Mar 2000 00:18:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author LisaS - This is an excellent cider for those of us who drink cider for its refreshing taste not for a "sweet" alternative to beer. This cider has a great balance of sweet and tart and has a full flavor. A lot of ciders made in the US are very sweet...

DO NOT TRUST H&R BLOCK -- read about my H&R Block nightmare

Sun, 27 Feb 2000 22:43:13 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author LisaS - I had a terrible experience with H&R block 2 years ago. I'm never going back. The employees I dealt with were rude and they knew very little about taxes. They are tax robots that do only what the H &R block computer system tells them.

Run Someone else's life

Sat, 12 Feb 2000 03:50:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author LisaS - More than a virtual dollhouse this game lets you control a virtual person in all areas of their life. Be the "little voice" in your Sim's head and watch them do pretty much what you tell them to do with a click of a mouse.

This is a...

Dump Caesar-- head somewhere else

Sat, 5 Feb 2000 19:14:26 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author LisaS - I went to Vegas and thought that Caesar's was a must-see. It is for the the amazing new mall complex but the casino leaves something to be desired.

Caesars has very little in the way of atmosphere. The decor is dark, and I think it was...

Dig the rollercoaster ride to and from fame

Wed, 2 Feb 2000 05:29:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author LisaS - Want to see how horrible it really is to be famous? Watch VH1's Behind the Music, Where are they now? Storytellers, or Before they were Rock Stars. These are quality peeks into heartbreaking lives of the most famous musicians and one-hit wonders.
