Wed, 25 Feb 2004 16:49:38 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author wyu - I am a Body Shop Body Butter fanatic. I think they are one of the best body products out there, and I strive to try as many of them as possible. But alas! My love affair ends here. In the Cocoa Butter Body Butter, I finally encounter one that I...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author wyu - Before I wax lyrical about the The Body Shop Soy Body Butter, I have to tell you in the spirit of full disclosure that this wonderful product has been discontinued by The Body Shop. Discontinued! This move makes me seriously question the people at...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author wyu - Oh, Papaya Body Butter, how I love thee! In my honest opinion, the very BEST smelling The Body Shop body butter out there, and I've sniffed them all. Fruity and foody and fresh. Simply juicy! If I didn't know any better, I'd try to eat it. In fact, keep...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author wyu - One of my life's happiest moments is when I've stumbled onto a superb book written by someone I've never heard of. No one told me about this book. It was my own lucky find, and that puts a smile on my lips. I loved Requiem for the Devil for...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author wyu - I have Avon's Shine Divine Sheer Luminous Lip Color in Rum Punch. It is a neutral medium pink brown shade with a slight shimmer. On my lips it is quite sheer, but adds a multidimensional sheen that is attractive but not too eye-catching. It...

Sat, 16 Aug 2003 22:13:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author wyu - As the first book in a four book series dubbed The Kingdoms of Thorn and Bone, The Briar King took me by surprise. Knowing that the author Greg Keyes had previously penned books in the rather commercial Babylon 5 and Star Wars series, I had...

Overstock.com: Overstock.com Censors Customer Comments

Fri, 4 Apr 2003 12:39:36 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author wyu - Freedom of speech does not exist on Overstock.com the way it does on Amazon.com. When you are unsatisfied with a product and give it one star along with a scathing review, Amazon.com publishes it. When you do the same at Overstock.com (as I did), they...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author wyu - Finally faced with a kitchen to call my own a year ago, I went on a flurry of shopping trips to buy kitchen utensils and load of cookbooks so that I can start feeding myself decent fare. A year later, many cookbooks lay by the way side, but not...

Asking for Alzheimer's?

Mon, 31 Mar 2003 20:00:27 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author wyu - I get suckered into buying a lot of things on Amazon.com's weekly Friday sales. The Bialetti Moka Express Espresso Machine is my latest acquisition. Unfortunately, it is not one of my wiser purchases. I have long looked for a coffee maker that...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author wyu - Harvesting the Heart is hands down the best novel I have read so far this year ... and come to think of it, last year as well. It was the first book of Jodi Picoult's that I read, and it was not the last. Since then, I have read two other...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author wyu - A few weeks ago, I bumbled into a bookstore's markdown section and came upon this book. What a fortuitous find! Since then, I have returned to the bookstore to purchase three more copies to give to friends. One copy I gave to my boyfriend, who is...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author wyu - After reading all of the books in this long-running series, I am still left panting for the next installment. And I am not alone. Thank goodness Nora Roberts writes relatively fast. Usually, readers can expect two new novels of the In Death series...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author wyu - At the beginning of November this year, I went on a 5-day cruise on the Imagination's new itinerary to Belize and Key West. There were some good and bad things about the trip, but overall, if you can get a deal as I did on Expedia, I highly...

Fri, 6 Dec 2002 21:50:43 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author wyu - Let me first get something off my chest. I am truly embarrassed to have paid this much money for this set of knives. Suckered in by a "deal" on one of Amazon's Friday sales, I thought "something this expensive must be amazing, right?". And for I...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author wyu - Thanks to The Bread Lover's Bread Machine Cookbook and my much-loved bread machine (the Breadman Ultimate), I have stopped buying store-made bread forever. BAKING BREAD ON YOUR OWN Is It Hard? On the contrary, it is the...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author wyu - **NOTE: This review is a comparison review. It does not purport to solely discuss the MR 430 HC (which other reviewers have done many times over already). Instead, it seeks to illuminate the MR 430 CA's qualities and limitations by...
