Tue, 12 Dec 2006 23:02:16 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author zzJulia - Erec Rex, The Dragon's Eye by Kaza Kingsley is clearly intended to tap into the legion of Harry Potter fans. This hard back novel has the same cover artist as Harry Potter, and the hero is a young boy discovering an underground world of magic. The...

Pampers Cruisers Diapers - For A Snug, No Gap Fit

Fri, 14 Apr 2006 12:47:50 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author zzJulia - The most consistent parenting advice that I have received is, as soon as a parent thinks they have a routine down with their new baby, the baby will change the routine. This has turned out to be exactly the case with my son's diapers. The hospital...

Seventh Generation Diapers - Superior Absorbency, Worth the Price

Sun, 8 Jan 2006 04:06:21 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author zzJulia - At some point in my pregnancy, I seriously considered utilizing a cloth diapering service. There is an excellent local service here called Tiny Tots and another mom I knew had a good experience with them. However, by the time I got home with a...

Nikon Coolpix 5900 Digital Camera - Not Exactly an SLR, but Gets the Job Done.

Tue, 27 Dec 2005 00:42:56 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author zzJulia - When my Pentax Optio 330 RS digital camera was stolen this summer, I was annoyed, but it was a great opportunity to replace the digital camera, and get higher mega-pixel quality for less than I had paid before. Amazon was having an amazing price break...

Pampers Swaddlers for Newborns - Confusing for the First Time Mom

Thu, 24 Nov 2005 03:16:20 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author zzJulia - I hadn't changed a diaper in something like 20 years so I was a bit out of touch when I went to Target during my third trimester. My sister-in-law came with me, but her children are older and they use Huggies brand. My friend with newborn twins had...

TiVo Humax DVD-R/RW Series 2 Digital Recorder - How Do I Love Thee

Wed, 15 Jun 2005 15:13:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author zzJulia - I used to joke that getting a Tivo or Replay device would save our marriage. I might have been only half joking. With only one tv in our house, and my husband being a TV junkie and slightly OCD about the remote control, evenings centered around a...

Creme De La Mer - "Miracle Cream" and my Neiman Marcus Bill

Tue, 7 Jun 2005 15:20:07 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author zzJulia - I'm really a lotion girl, but I've been buying Creme de la Mer for years. I mean, I've been buying it for so long that it used to "only" be $90 per oz. instead of the whopping $110 per oz it is today. WHAT THE HECK IS IT FOR? The website...

MAC Shadestick for Eyes - Easy as Pumpkin Pie

Sat, 28 Aug 2004 19:40:45 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author zzJulia - MAC cosmetics are flashy, glamorous and somewhat intimidating. How nice that they now have an eye product that is simple and perfectly targeted for a person like myself--boring. Not that I am saying you should buy a boring product. It's just...

Chanel Glossimer - A Lip Gloss Review For Addicts Only

Mon, 21 Jun 2004 17:05:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author zzJulia - This is a $25 lipgloss. No, it does not come with a solid gold wand or diamond crusted tube. For $25, you are getting a sophisticated formula that gives the wearer good color, smooth application, decent wear and NO stickiness. Is it worth it?...

Postrio Restaurant, San Francisco - Still Glamorous

Fri, 23 Apr 2004 01:38:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author zzJulia - It had been years since I had been to Postrio. Frankly, I hadn't been there since the dotcom heyday. The interior is still stylish, with its bronze accents and sleek furniture. Back in the mid-1990's, Wolfgang Puck's fine hand launched Postrio to...

Tue, 30 Mar 2004 13:15:45 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author zzJulia - I walk or run an average of 15 miles each week. That's not very many, but it can get pretty boring when you are indoors on a treadmill. After a few months of rain and using the treadmill at my gym, I decided to get serious and add some music to my...

Luna Glow Snack Bars - Low Carb, Good Taste.

Wed, 17 Mar 2004 20:30:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author zzJulia - I have eaten probably every nutrition bar known to (wo)man. One thing the low carb bars all seem to have in common--they taste bad. They might start out decently enough, ie the coating is actually chocolatey and doesn't taste too synthetic, but...

Biochem's Lo Carb Deluxe Bar - Atkins Diet and Low Carb Friendly

Mon, 2 Feb 2004 23:33:06 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author zzJulia - With 30 grams of protein and 1 gram of impact carbohydrates, this bar almost seems too good to be true. Overall, I find this bar to be extremely filling and the taste less offensive than most protein rich bars. Taste With two flavors - mint...

Stila Convertible Lip Color Duo - Fragile, Pretty and Frivolous

Mon, 3 Nov 2003 21:15:37 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author zzJulia - I am more of a lipgloss gal, but sometimes only a liberal application of lipstick can achieve that powerful lip look. Stila's Convertible Lip Color offers a moist and color rich application, along with 2 different types of finish. What's the...

Propel Fitness Water - Atkins Friendlier replacement for Gatorade?

Thu, 16 Oct 2003 17:21:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author zzJulia - I'm a big fan of just plain water. Over a year ago I did the Avon 3 Day walk for Breast Cancer Awareness from San Jose, CA to San Francisco, CA and that's when I discovered Gatorade. Suddenly just plain water didn't do the job for those 20 mile training...

Fresh Soy Hand Cream - Orange oil and Extravagance

Mon, 13 Oct 2003 16:37:58 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author zzJulia - Hand cream is such a mundane thing but lately I've discovered it can be hip when entrusted to the right packaging and marketing hype! Trust fresh to stick a rather average product into chic packaging and charge $25 for a measly 2.8 oz! D...

L'Occitane - Shower Cream , Shea Butter and Verbena!

Wed, 8 Oct 2003 17:12:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author zzJulia - Shower Cream is something I just didn't quite understand. Soap, I get. Shower gel, I get. Shower cream? I thought it sounded like moisturizing myself in the shower. Good thing I decided to try it anyway because I've totally gone wild for the s...

Sat, 8 Mar 2003 22:38:50 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author zzJulia - A decade ago, Clif Bar was the best tasting energy bar around. In a workout world where Powerbar was king but tasted like sawdust, Clif Bar was a godsend.

But that was a decade ago and eventually other brands came on the market and carbs...

Thu, 6 Feb 2003 20:11:01 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author zzJulia - Winter is hard on my skin. Yes, I live in sunny California, but my skin still gets extremely dry in the cold months. Even stranger, I still remain slightly oily in the T-zone so my combination skin becomes more crazy. Normally I rely on a bevy of oil...

Wed, 5 Feb 2003 20:12:17 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author zzJulia - I was first attracted to the M.A.C. line when I learned their products catered to theatre people and therefore had tons of pigment. My other experiences with Estee Lauder, Clinique and of course the drugstore brands had left me disappointed. Against my...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author zzJulia - I had surfed Fresh.com many times to see all the various bath and body products that they offered and feed my Lychee sugarbath soap addiction! fresh is a boutique beauty brand that can be difficult to find in stores. Until two years ago,...

Wed, 8 Jan 2003 02:46:12 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author zzJulia - Did you ever see the remake of Planet of the Apes with Markie Mark and Estelle Warren? She's like running around in the jungle wearing raggedy clothing but there must be a pocket in that outfit for her lipstick. She's got the most amazing pouting lips...

Tue, 10 Dec 2002 02:03:53 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author zzJulia - If you've ever watched American Idol and then gossiped about it later with another galpal, you probably realized that it's NOT about the singing. No, it's all about the LOOK of the contestant. You look at their funky outfits, funky haircolor and of...
