I chose these first, because they are chocolate. They taste just like little pieces of chocolate candy.
They have …

I tried Powerhouse: the Original 32, on the recommendation of a friend. It is a powdered whole food nutritional supplement which advertises itself as “high fiber, low calorie, and bills itself as an instant breakfast, lunch, or snack.” It says it is a 32% complete protein food. It is …

I color my hair at home, and although I love to use the little tubes of conditioner that come with my color kits (I get my mom’s too, she doesn’t like them—“ can’t imagine why!) Sometimes I run out of those before the next coloring date.
To replace them has …

My kids are rather picky about a whole slew of things. But, when they’re sick, it seems their pickiness is suddenly twenty-fold and there’s nothing that’s good enough or makes them feel good enough fast enough! It’s a frustrating position to be in, especially when kids are at that …

I’m on my feet quite a lot, thanks to my new job in the retail industry, and they have taken a lot of abuse over the last two years when they were used to being so pampered before I started working. One of the biggest problems I have is …
