When it was announced that Mattel was continuing the Justice League Unlimited toy series, fans were elated. The excitement was even more pronounced with the arrival of the "Shazam" Family four-pack set. Having Captain Marvel and Black Adam rendered in the style of the DC Animated Universe was long overdue but the inclusion of Captain Marvel's sister was a treat.

Mary Marvel (or Mary Batson as she is named in this set) is Captain Marvel's twin sister. Like her brother, she has been granted the power of Shazam whenever she speaks the wizard's name and is transformed into a superpowered heroine. With...

Captain Marvel's magically-based powers come from the wizard Shazam (yes, the wizard's name is actually Shazam). When Billy Batson says the wizard's name, he is transformed into the superhero Captain Marvel. So when Mattel announced that it was making a "Shazam" Family four-pack for the Justice League Unlimited toy line, the surprise figure in the set was the wizard himself.

The Wizard (as he is named in this set) has been using his powers to fight evil for centuries. He chose a successor in the Egyptian dynastic era in Teth-Adam. When Adam spoke the wizard's name "SHAZAM", he was granted tremendous...

In 2006, when Universal Pictures announced it was releasing writer-director Paul Greengrass' United 93, there was a mixed reception. While some were anticipating the film, most thought that "five years on" was much too soon for Hollywood to bring the horrific events of September 11, 2001 from the pages of recent history to the silver screen.

Some people thought that the families and friends of the 40 passengers and crew who died aboard the only hijacked plane of four that didn't hit its intended target would be upset.  Others said they feared the film would distort the truth.  Still others...

This Victoria's Secret bra just came out! Honestly, I wasn't even going to try it on. When I walked into the store, the sales lady said: "have you tried our new Miraculous Push-up bra? It adds TWO cup sizes, and shapes you instantly." I told her that no, I did not wish to look like an E cup. You should see this bra! The padding in it is totally crazy! It looks completely outrageous. It's level 5 on the 1-5 level push-up scale at Victoria's Secret.

Come on, I was in the store... why not try on the Victoria's Secret Miraculous Push-up bra? So, I did. What you see in the mirror really doesn't jibe...

I really love novelty items.  Splat, silly putty, moon sand, even the car thingy that climbs walls.  They make great stuff for my nephews to play with when I have them over to babysit.

Amazingly nothing, I mean nothing has gotten the two of them more excited then making Fake Snow with Snow in Seconds this past week.  The two of them made an entire XL bag and spilled it all over my living room while we were decorating this week.  Luckily cleaning up was as easy as vacuumming the room.

Needless to say, they are going to find some Snow in Seconds in their stocking this Chirstmas.

I'm surprised with the amount of medication in our household. We have vitamins, supplements, pain relievers, fever reducers, cough suppressants, allergy medication, antacids, laxatives, and any other thing you can think of that would be necessary. I could open up a pharmacy.However, there is one label we always have in stock: Motrin Ibuprofen Pain Reliever Tablets.

I'm not one who enjoys putting pills into my body and have been very cautious in what does go in. But I'm not in my 20s anymore despite what I think. My body has changed and my immune system has followed suit as well. Still, I am leery...

Quick View: I am a tough case when it comes to whitening my teeth because I drink loads of tea every day and have since I was a teen. On top of that, I enjoy Diet Coke and Pepsi daily as well. They stain teeth badly and getting those stains off is no easy task. It doesn't appear that Crest Vivid White Night Toothpaste is going to do more than other whitening toothpastes for me.

My Take on Crest Vivid White Night Toothpaste

This toothpaste comes in a 4.1 ounce tube, smaller than typical toothpaste tubes. It promises to loosen stains at night so that you can brush them away in the morning. I love...

I was at a website for free samples recently and noticed that Bear Naked was offering free samples of a few products. I really like banana nut bread so decided to go with the Bear Naked 100% Pure and Natural Cereal - Banana Nut. There is also a Cranberry Raisin cereal too.

In 2002 Kelly Flatley began making the first Bear Naked products. Not long after, her high school friend, Brendan Synnott, joined in the business too. Bear Naked produces high quality natural food. What started as a business in Kelly's parents' home in Connecticut is now a booming company providing Bear Naked products to people...

Quick View:  I am not a fan of floral fragrances and shun most classic scents. However, after trying Lancome Miracle EDP Perfume Spray, which was given to me as a gift by a friend, I realize that a little bit of a frilly scent can work for me. This is a sexy, very feminine scent that I like for a nice change of pace.

My Take on Lancome Miracle EDP Perfume Spray

My review entitled My Top Fragrances: Fresh, Clean, and Sexy! really says it all about my preferences. I don't like florals and I prefer fresh, clean, or citrus scents. When I was sent a 1.7 ounce bottle of Miracle, I didn't even like that...

A couple months ago, I went to a Victoria's Secret store to shop the sale section and see if there were any great finds.  Yes there was - Victoria's Secret The Angel Sleep Tee.  It was on sale for $9.99 and had a regular price of $26.00, so I scored!

I would give these pajamas a ten star rating if I could, because they are absolutely perfect.  The Victoria's Secret The Angel Sleep Tee is a super comfy sleep shirt that is slightly form-fitting, but not too clingy.  It is made out of the softest material, it feels so luxurious and comfortable on your body.  It has short sleeves that go about...

I am always in search of fragrance. It doesn't matter whether it is a laundry detergent, perfume or room fresheners. I love fragrance- at least some fragrances. I had tried the Glade Wisp Air Freshener when it first came out. It was a good idea and was the first [that I know of] air freshener that worked around the clock spitting out little wisps of fragrance at timed intervals. The thing I didn't like about the Wisp Glade unit is that it worked continually so it used up battery life and fragrance even when people weren't home.

Someone else must have had the same thought because, "Presto, Chango"-...

We take so many things for granted and this is no exception. I have herbs and spices in my pantry and never give them a thought. It's just keep the pantry stocked.

Lawry's Seasoned Salt gives food that extra flavor. I want my food to have flavor and a little heat. Lawry's Seasoned Salt accomplishes just that.

I love to add Lawry's Seasoned Salt to scrambled eggs, chicken dishes, and use on baked potatoes. It's always nice to have a different flavor for those baked potatoes.

When preparing French fried potatoes, prepare them then fry until done then place on a mesh rack to drain. Then fry for a...

Dr. Huang is the best Chiropractor! He's very knowledgeable and friendly. He has all the up-to-date equipment including the cold laser, emotional therapy, allergy test kit, detox footbath, etc. He's a chiropractor that doesn't only have patients with back problems. He helps with children's ear infection, allergies, emotions, and more. He practices Applied Kinesiology.

If you have teeth, you need a dentist. If you have a spine, you need a chiropractor!!

L'Oreal Telescopic Explosion Mascara

I don't set high expectations on many mascaras no matter the brand, be it high end or drug store as there have been more flops than hits. Like many women, I have a bag full of tubes used a few times, tried again and set aside out of disappointment.

While giving it a fairly serious amount of consideration and after reading Patty Therre's dead-on review of L'Oreal Telescopic Explosion Mascara I decided to bite the bullet and give it a try. As I'm not a huge fan of L'Oreal mascaras I usually don't buy them.

I was totally intrigued with the spherical brush, was...

Quick View: I have two pairs of "real" Uggs and love them. I wanted at least one more pair this year but my budget's tight. I couldn't justify spending so much on more boots. I tried lots of different "Ugg-alikes" but they all fell way short of the real thing. However, Xhilaration - Electra Suede Boots are VERY similar to Uggs in many ways. They are closest thing to the real thing I have found and I only paid $22.00 for mine on sale at Target.

My Take on Xhilaration - Electra Suede Boots

Thse 8" shaft suede boots look very, very similar to Uggs. They come in Gray, Chestnut, Sand, Brown, and Black...
