The REAL Toy Story | March 20, 2009

I hate shopping. Somehow I am missing that particular female gene. When forced, I make most of my purchases online, which includes children’s presents. This activity generates much unwanted print solicitations in my mailbox. Not only do I get the usual glut of Toys Sure “R” Expensive (as Dave Barry says) glossies, but also the brain-boosting-all-soy-earth-friendly non-denominational offerings on recycled (allegedly) paper since I’m one of those granola-eating-hiking types.

After taking care of everyone else, they are always … Read More »

Nail Lacquers by Nubar | March 20, 2009

I tried Nail Lacquers by Nubar and I really was impressed by the fact that these nail lacquers do not contain formaldehyde, toluene, or phthalate (DBP). These agents are known to be carcinogenic. I loved the look of the bottle. I also liked the way the grip was not slick, but textured, so I could get it open, even with wet nails on the other hand!

I used the Magic Buffer to prep my nails, and it was wonderful! They were so shiny and smooth that I could’ve just put on a clear top coat and been just fine. These … Read More »
