Sun, 29 Apr 2001 00:52:25 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author bkaysimon - My birthday is in January, and this past one I decided I wanted a CD burner, but I wanted one for my PC. After I convinced my husband that this was something we truly needed, off to Best Buy we went. I made the mistake of shopping first,...

Taos- The nicest place in New Mexico to ski

Thu, 4 Jan 2001 14:20:29 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bkaysimon - Taos was our resort of choice for a youth ski trip sponsored by our congregation over winter break. The group has been going to Taos for 10 years now, but this would be my first time at this particular resort. I enjoyed my time at Taos, but I...

Comfort Inns and Suites: Comfort Suites was our choice when we had none

Sat, 30 Dec 2000 13:22:42 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bkaysimon - Maybe that title does not make much sense until you have heard the reason why my brother and I recently spent one night at a new Comfort Suites in Abilene, Texas. The date was December 26, 2000, and those of you who live in or around Texas know...

FLOOZ: Where's my Christmas list? Everyone is getting Flooz!

Sun, 17 Dec 2000 17:19:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bkaysimon - I had my first experience with Flooz in June of 2000 with a Father's Day gift. My father-in-law is not real easy to buy for, and while racking our brains for something to give him I read about Flooz and thought, "why not?"

Dries fast, but does not stay on my nails long

Tue, 12 Dec 2000 00:49:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bkaysimon - I love to paint my fingernails and I always have my toenails painted. My toenails are not a big issue for me to keep painted, however I view painting my fingernails up there with waxing. I enjoy plucking my eyebrows more. I'll tell you why - I cannot...

Thu, 7 Dec 2000 03:31:26 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bkaysimon - I joined Classmates.com shortly after I graduated from high school 5 years ago. You can join the site for free or you can opt for a paid membership, which I will explain later. I am a free member, so some of the features are not available to me,...

Craving Don Pablo's queso and tortillas

Mon, 4 Dec 2000 15:57:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bkaysimon - When my husband and I lived in Ft. Worth, you could bet at least once every two weeks we would go to Don Pablo's for dinner or lunch. It is one of our very favorite restaurants and serves outstanding Mexican food. It was unfortunate for us that...

The coolest little camcorder I have ever used!

Tue, 21 Nov 2000 02:51:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bkaysimon - A few months ago while browsing the electronics department I came across the camcorder section and suddenly it hit me: I must have one of these. It took me about 4 months of hint dropping and flat out whining before I convinced my husband that I really...

The only food my Gatsby will eat

Thu, 9 Nov 2000 13:42:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bkaysimon - I have had three Bettas in my lifetime. They are extremely easy fish to own, seeing how they can live in a tank without an air filter just like a goldfish and you can only keep one to a tank, because they fight with other Bettas. My current Betta,...

Netflip.com: I'm not flippin' over Netflip much anymore

Thu, 2 Nov 2000 13:01:19 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bkaysimon - I joined Netflip as soon as I found out about it, after my failed attempts at Titansearch left me longing for another pay-to-search site. I really liked the concept, search for sites, and then earn money as you click on the sites and look them...

VTech VT 9105 900MHz Cordless Phone: Quickly became the favorite phone in the house

Thu, 26 Oct 2000 02:55:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bkaysimon - Last month it was a sad day for phones in my house. My hunter green Sony phone that I had bought over 5 years ago died on me. I loved that phone, but sadly enough it's time had passed. So while in Target one afternoon, I decided I had to replace my...

Not as good as a real facial, but works for me!

Thu, 19 Oct 2000 23:21:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bkaysimon - I had been wanting to try Olay Daily Facials cleansing cloths ever since I saw them in a magazine ad. I made a trip to Wal-Mart with the intent of buying them along with the rest of my goods but was somewhat turned off by the price. They were...

Chilling to the Bone

Thu, 12 Oct 2000 21:14:15 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bkaysimon - I had the opportunity to watch The Bone Collector on ShowTime 2 this past weekend. I had wanted to see this one ever since it hit the big screen, but my husband and I never seem to make it to the theater. I love thriller and suspense movies, and...

Even my picky eater loves High Hopes!

Sun, 8 Oct 2000 16:55:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bkaysimon - Out of all of my dogs, only one of them is a picky eater. When we first adopted Baby, we tried all kinds of foods before finding one that she would consistently eat and actually seemed to enjoy. Then I came across High Hopes dog food on the...

The appliance I could not live without

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bkaysimon - I received a West Bend electric skillet as a wedding gift. I had never used one before, so it was new to me and I was not sure how often I would use it if ever. Once I realized how much this little jewel could do I have used it at least once a...

Greenfield Online: I never win anything

Mon, 2 Oct 2000 13:00:10 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author bkaysimon - I signed up for Greenfield Online over a year ago with the hopes that I would at least once get picked even for the $5 prize they award to survey participants. I have always enjoyed filling out surveys, for some odd reason, so I figured it would...

Yummy Water for Me

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bkaysimon - When I moved from home to my new apartment away at college, a friend of mine gave me a Brita Standard Water Pitcher as a going away gift. I was sort of excited about it, but I am not an avid water drinker, not anywhere like I should be, so I...

Still a fan after all these years

Sun, 1 Oct 2000 00:40:55 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bkaysimon - The first track off of Bon Jovi's newest album Crush, It's My Life, is getting tons of airplay lately and with good reason. It is a refreshing sound compared to the pop that is being over played every single day on the radio and in...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bkaysimon - For all the Celine Dion fans out there, this is one of her best albums. Let’s Talk About Love has many wonderful hits and beautiful duets, with a total of 15 tracks on the CD. That is over 70 minutes of music! Every song on the album is a love...

This one won't turn up again after it's done

Fri, 15 Sep 2000 21:23:15 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author bkaysimon - I've seen this film before I saw it. What I mean is that this movie is no different from any other film of its kind...after a while they all seem like the same film. It happens a lot these days. Maybe Hollywood is just running out of ideas, so they've...

Shimmer and shine and everything fine

Fri, 15 Sep 2000 21:10:26 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bkaysimon - My college roommate turned me on to Cover Girl Lipslicks lipgloss. She used it along with her regular lipstick to add an extra shine to the color, and often she had to come get it out of my bathroom because I would steal it. I eventually bought my...

Fri, 15 Sep 2000 21:04:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bkaysimon - I have been using Cover Girl Clean Pressed Powder for a long, long time. I believe it was the first brand I ever started using, and although I have tried out the competitor's once or twice I have always come back to the same powder. I have...

The ultimate foundation

Fri, 15 Sep 2000 20:58:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bkaysimon - Foundation has always been the one cosmetic that I wished I did not have to wear. I envy girls with perfect skin that can simply slap on a little powder, some lipstick, and go. If only I could be so lucky. However, upon finding Cover Girl's...

Fri, 15 Sep 2000 00:52:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bkaysimon - I found myself lured into the Beanie craze a couple of years ago while working in a mall. I was directly across the hallway from a Hallmark that carried Ty products, and after a while I just couldn't resist buying one or two because they were cute. I...
