I share my honest reviews, the good and the not-good, on products you’re interested in buying!
Heck, I’m still sleeping on my Cocoon by Sealy bed, and loving it. And my unfortunate fail with Cool Sculpting (spoiler alert: didn’t work well for me).
Smelly sports equipment brings a bit of funk into the home. I've tested out FunkAway, and I'm giving my legit review to let you know if its a yay, or nay.
I'll admit it. I'm paranoid about security off the internet, so it's only fitting, I'm also paranoid about security on the internet. I have reason to be! My website has been hacked in the past, and though it was caught and handled quickly, and efficiently, I'm still paranoid. Any, and all, ways I can keep [...]

Stubborn fat removal doesn't always require surgery. When exercise isn't helping, and you're not about going under the knife, but you want to get rid of the fat - there's another option.

Wii U Skylanders Imaginators gets two thumbs up from The Boy. The issue I have with it? I don't understand anything about it, and The Boy's addiction to this Skylanders franchise is freakishly strong. As much as I try, and try, and tryyyyy, I just don't get the fascination. I pressed The Boy for what [...]
