[Come On Baby Light My Fire] A Tale of Two Kindles
I love gadgets, but I hate abhor reading. I don’t know what it is. Perhaps it’s because when I was about 3 or 4, my sister insisted reading would be more fun than playing Barbies. I also have somewhat of a short attention span. In fact, I am amazed any time I can sit through […]
[Get Juiced] Power on the Go
I upgrade my dumbphone just about as soon as my carrier gives me the green light to do so. While the chargers are now USB based and universal, the batteries are not. I’ve never bought a backup battery for any of my dumbphones, but the worrier in me decided I would need some sort of backup in case I am […]
[Safety & Comfort] It’s in the Bag
I was planning my first major vacation of the year. Based on previous trips, which involved a lot of being on my feet, I had learned that lugging my large purse around with me was not going to be a good idea. So, I searched everywhere for a bag that would be compact yet big […]

[Big Tintin’] Staying Cool All-Year Long
A couple of years ago, I purchased my first car on my own. It was the most expensive purchase I had ever made, so I wanted only the best for her. Since I live in SoCal, the sun’s always out. So getting my new baby tinted was the first thing on my mind. I wanted […]
I’ve Got Your Back(pack)
I don’t mean to brag, but I am a *great* gift giver (one of my most redeeming qualities IMHO). I’m also kinda geeky, especially when it comes to technology. So, when the man’s birthday was coming up over the horizon, I had to rack my brain to see what totally awesome, fantastic gift I could […]
Iconic Bionic
Technology pretty much changes in the blink of an eye, so I figured now is a better time than ever to gush over my constant confidant – my Droid Bionic. When it came time to upgrade my phone, there were plenty of options. Since I had the original Droid, anything was going to be a […]
Garlic? No. GarLIKE!
If you’re a garlic lover like me, then you need to add the Kuhn Rikon Epicurean Garlic Press to your kitchen tool arsenal. I put garlic in nearly everything I cook. I mean, if I could, I’d probably move to Gilroy just so I can live in the garlic capital. As much as I love it, […]
EVOO for the Eco Cheapo
Cooking at home may be the more cost-effective and healthier way to go, but sometimes the things you need do not come cheap. For me, I use Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO — as Rachel Ray usually refers to it) in just about everything I cook. It’s light, healthy, but can really hit you in your […]
Griddle Me This
Don’t tell anyone, but I think there’s something better than the basic Foreman Grill for those who are novice cooks or those who want a quick and healthy meal.It’s called the Cuisinart Griddler. I first laid my eyes on this gem at a New Year’s Eve get-together. The Griddler is great for hamburgers, chicken and […]
Check Out the K-Cup on This
I’ve never been much of a coffee drinker But when some geniuses decide to make things easier, faster, and cheaper to do, how can you turn it down? You can’t! These are the reasons I love my Keurig. You just plug it in, turn it on, fill the reservoir with water and press a button. […]
