Tue, 20 Mar 2001 13:55:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sylvanb - Scotland on a Budget – Oh, Aye!

Wed, 7 Feb 2001 18:05:02 GMT

Pretty, Fluffy

Mon, 29 Jan 2001 14:25:59 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author sylvanb - I'm a gardener; I'm a birder. One of my great joys is sitting at my computer and looking out at the birds that I've lured into my little back yard. Since I seldom can get out into the field to look for birds, I am always looking for sources of new...

"You have the skin of a 19-year-old"

Wed, 24 Jan 2001 13:27:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sylvanb - No, not me. That's what Sylvia's conniving cats tell her in Nicole Hollander's wonderful comic strip. But it's how I feel when I use Clinique's Exfoliating Scrub.

For me, it is enough to have the skin of a 39-year-old, which I pretty much do...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sylvanb - I am in love with this hotel. The Wales is a "Boutique Hotel," rescued and restored to its Victorian glory. During a week's stay there, (in early summer, for both business and pleasure) I was treated and felt like royalty. The ambiance and the service...
