Goddess Within: 13 days to ship? And I had to remind them? Not recommended.

Sat, 13 May 2006 23:39:45 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author julesagogo - I placed an order at Goddess Within because they had the OPI polish colors I wanted at good prices. But, it took forever to get them, and I doubt I would have received them had I not e-mailed over ten days later to find out where my stuff was. They...

A wonderful hotel to be stuck in

Sun, 10 Apr 2005 10:58:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author julesagogo - When I made arrangements to attend a conference at the University of Toronto, the University provided me with a list of nearby hotels that looked less than inviting.

Tue, 8 Jun 2004 15:31:23 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author julesagogo - As a person who hates exercise, I’ve found that some sort of distraction while working out is essential to keep me sticking to my 4 times per week exercise routine. My distraction when I walk outside is listening to tunes or NPR on my ancient Aiwa...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author julesagogo - Since we had lived in our house for several years before landscaping, I was overjoyed when we finally had a yard full of plants.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author julesagogo - TIGI's Bed Head line of hair products is designed to be noticed.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author julesagogo - Some of my favorite foods are the so-called "comfort foods": ones that are long-simmered and full of flavor. An essential ingredient in many of these kinds of recipes (beef burgundy, French onion soup, chicken paprikas, etc.) is stock. Since I've never...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author julesagogo - I have no qualms about dropping money on kitchen gadgets, entertainment, or clothes, but I absolutely hate to spend a ton on beauty products.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author julesagogo - The Hedstrom Fun Hop is today's version of a toy from my childhood, the Hippity Hop. Actually, not much has changed in bouncing technology in the nearly thirty years since I last hippity-hopped, since the Fun Hop is nearly identical to the toy I...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author julesagogo - I came to Eastern Michigan University as something of a higher education snob. Having received my B.A. from Albion College, a tiny, “highly selective”, liberal arts college set on an idyllic, well-manicured campus, I expected that a large,...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author julesagogo - I live for vacations, but my hair would rather avoid them. The damage caused by a week or so in the sun, pool and ocean causes my hair to look and feel like it belongs on the Scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz. When this happens, my first task after...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author julesagogo - My skin is pretty much off the “dry-normal-oily” scale as defined by most cosmetic makers. Think “eating saltines in the Sahara desert” dry. Given my unusually dry skin, Pond's Cleansing Lotion & Moisturizer In One isn’t reall...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author julesagogo - Seattle's Alexis Hotel bills itself as "A Work of Art", and in some ways succeeds in living up to that slogan.

Mon, 29 Sep 2003 23:01:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author julesagogo - Although I inherited many wonderful qualities from my parents, I curse genetics when I think about my hair.
