Perfect Edger for Our Small Yard

Mon, 16 Feb 2009 16:57:38 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Zifa - After two years of hand-me-down, picked up from the curb weed wackers that were nothing but trouble, I purchased the Black & Decker Grasshog for my husband as an anniversary gift. (Of course, I am the one who ends up using it!) Unlike our...

Glad to Have Jumped on the Rice Cooker Bandwagon

Wed, 11 Feb 2009 16:39:17 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Zifa - Lately it's seemed like everyone was using rice cookers all the time and raving about them, and on special at about $34 I couldn’t turn this one down. Also, it came with a recipe guide for making things other than rice!First of all,...

Glide Through Your Hair for That Smooth and Sleek Look

Mon, 26 Nov 2007 16:11:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Zifa - When I got my hair cut a few weeks ago into a chin-length bob, my hairdresser finished the style by using a flat iron to give me that smooth, sleek look. Eager to recreate the look on my own, I bought the first flat iron I saw on my way home that day...

Nice Face Wash, Though It Won't Change Your Pores

Tue, 25 Sep 2007 15:55:28 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Zifa - Well, of course, there is nothing except genetics that can actually make your pores smaller... but it's nice to believe, isn't it? I had a coupon for $2 off a Biore product, and decided to try out their Pore Minimizing Foaming Face wash, regularly $8. I...

Quick and Refreshing

Sat, 2 Jun 2007 22:27:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Zifa - During the summer, even with window air conditioners running, my house is uncomfortably hot, and I constantly have a layer of sweat over my face. I am always looking for quick ways to clean my face and feel refreshed. I'll often swipe over my face with...

PSECU - An Excellent Option

Wed, 16 May 2007 12:00:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Zifa - As a student at a university in the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education, I was able to join PSECU to do my banking. Considering that they owned the only two ATMs on campus, it seemed like a good idea. To join, you must either be a student,...

Choose Your Own Adventure (or Cook Your Own Dinner) at the Melting Pot

Tue, 20 Feb 2007 14:38:37 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Zifa - For Valentine's Day this year, my husband and I decided to try The Melting Pot. A new one had just opened in King of Prussia, PA, a few minutes away from us. However, according to their web site, the restaurant was "Coming Soon." So I made reservations...

NetZero: Okay for Cheap Dial-Up, but Don't Try Going Faster

Tue, 16 Jan 2007 13:51:49 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Zifa - I started using NetZero dial-up service in 2003. The service was $9.95 each month, automatically deducted from my checking account. The dial-up speed was, of course, slow compared to broadband, but the service was always reliable. I got minimal gray...

My First Business Trip

Mon, 11 Dec 2006 16:59:46 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Zifa - I spent three nights last week as a business traveler at the Fairfield Inn in Mount Laurel, NJ. It was my very first business trip, and my first time really traveling by myself. Although I was nervous, the Fairfield Inn in Mount Laurel made my stay a...

Nice, Basic Toaster

Mon, 4 Dec 2006 09:55:42 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Zifa - We don't make a lot of toast, usually because I forget to buy bread. I was very excited a couple weeks ago because I had some jelly and I'd just bought some bread and I was looking forward to making some nice toast. Unfortunately, I soon discovered that...

Qdelicious

Wed, 22 Nov 2006 15:41:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Zifa - I realized recently that my husband and I eat out at Mexican restaurants an average of 2-3 times a week. So I think I can safely say that we are big fans of this style of food. He loves everything spicy, and I'm into rice and guacamole. Qdoba is...

Several Days at the Days Inn

Sat, 23 Sep 2006 12:23:53 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Zifa - My husband and I just spent four nights at this hotel, and had a wonderful experience. The location is great, about a mile from Colonial Williamsburg, and within a short distance of all the other area attractions. We were there a couple weeks after Labor...

A 20-Something in Williamsburg

Fri, 22 Sep 2006 23:14:21 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Zifa - I just returned from four days in Williamsburg, so everything is fresh in my mind and I'm eager to share. My husband and I are 30 and 24 years old, respectively, so we were definitely not the main demographic of the area. We chose mid-September for our...

I Love to Vacuum!

Thu, 24 Aug 2006 12:50:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Zifa - Let me put it this way: our old vacuum cleaner sucked. No pun intended. When it finally started smelling like burning plastic every time I tried to use it, my husband said, "Just get a Dyson, you can afford it." I love to vacuum now. Yes, the...

It's Not An iPod

Thu, 9 Mar 2006 11:12:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Zifa - I had a list of features I wanted in an MP3 player when I started really shopping around for one, and the Creative Zen Micro Photo has them all! Here they are, in no particular order... Size and Shape: The Micro Photo is usually compared, in...

Nokia 3220: Fun and Functional!

Wed, 9 Nov 2005 10:30:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Zifa - It took me a while to find the Nokia 3220. I'd seen it on T-Mobile's website, but when I went to the T-Mobile stores, the salespeople had never heard of it! Finally, I was directed to their customer care center, and was able to purchase the phone. I have...

For Seriously Dry Hands - Avon Moisture Therapy

Fri, 21 Oct 2005 10:30:50 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Zifa - A hand lotion has a lot to live up to if I'm going to use it. I hate lotions that are too greasy, or have a strong scent (good or bad). I hate when you have to spend an hour rubbing lotion into your hands, and even after all that effort, you're still...

Sparkles, but Sticky

Thu, 6 Oct 2005 09:51:23 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Zifa - I sell Avon products, so I usually have an inordinate amount of them in my makeup arsenal at any one time. I've had a tube of pink Metallics Lip Gloss for a little over a year now, and it's still going strong. Of course, I don't wear it every day, but a...

Handy Kitchen Gadget

Tue, 27 Sep 2005 12:02:31 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Zifa - I don't usually fall for the gimmicky gadgets I see advertised on TV, but something about the Xpress 101 commercial sucked me in. The foods they were making actually looked pretty good, and as someone about to move in with her boyfriend, it seemed like...

Giants Once Again

Thu, 13 Sep 2001 13:51:53 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Zifa - I've been eager to hear this new album ever since a friend told me it was coming out the day before my birthday. Well, the day arrived, and I excitedly unwrapped my gift. I loved it immediately.

With other TMBG albums, especially John Henry, I...

Great ... In Theory

Mon, 23 Jul 2001 15:09:56 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Zifa - I received a CD as a gift which included, among other songs, John Linnell's "West Virginia." This quickly became my favorite song on the CD, and I tried to remember why I hadn't purchased State Songs a couple years ago when it came out. I remembered...

A Bit Pricey, But Worth It

Wed, 4 Apr 2001 20:59:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Zifa - When I found a coupon for $2 off a Maybelline Express Makeup 3 in 1 stick, I was a senior in high school, and not getting much sleep, and I was starting to get circles around my eyes. So I decided to give this new product a try. Well, it's really the...

You Get What You Pay For

Mon, 2 Apr 2001 15:46:44 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Zifa - When I added a webcam to my computer, my old scanner, $70 at Costco, stopped working. Rather than try to fix the problem (I'm way too lazy), I went and bought a new scanner. I gravitated toward the cheapest flatbed at Circuit City, the PrimaScan Colorado...

The Best Backpack I've Ever Had

Mon, 2 Apr 2001 15:14:02 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Zifa - From 7th to 10th grades I used a Jansport Amarillo in school. Most people carried that, or a similar bag, because it was sturdy, held a lot, and had a good name. When the zipper on mine finally broke in 10th grade, I knew it was time for a new bag. After...

Short and catchy, with a dash of wacky.

Mon, 24 Jul 2000 12:58:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Zifa - I was at Tower Records the other day and was torn between Factory Showroom and another TMBG album, John Henry. I finally decided on FS because it was about $5 less, and am very glad I got it. Most of the songs on this album I've heard before, but since I...
