rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Zeira - I first saw Halls Fruit Breezers on a commercial but honestly, I wasn't thrilled enough by the ad to rush out and buy them. Instead I got some in a backpack that I bought at the Calgary Stampede that was stuffed with goodies! Hubby ripped...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Zeira - Many times I have started to write a review here about McDonald's, but every time I stop myself and say no...this one has been written about way too many times. But here I sit, pregnant and emotional, craving you guessed it, a cheese burger combo.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Zeira - When I was first asked to think of my favorite one liner my mind drew a blank. What line really touched my life. Was it the graffiti that I read on the wall of a building I drove by that simply stated " Love makes the caterpillers turn into butterflies."...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Zeira - I recently bought this movie for my two year and a half year old son. He saw it in our local Cosco and wouldn't budge from the T.V. that was showing this movie. I literally had to bribe him with the promise of buying this movie, to get him to move.
