Vix531 says "The BlackBerry Curve quite literally ROCKS." about Blackberry - Curve Cell Phone

Vix531 — Sun, 12 Apr 2009 01:51:19 GMT

I can sum up my review of the BlackBerry Curve in three little words: I LOVE IT! Coming from a basic flip phone to the Curve, I was a bit unsure as to how I'd enjoy having a full Qwerty keyboard and no way to flip the phone closed. I've seen the commercial for the other BlackBerry phone and the "butt dialing" so I was afraid I might end up dialing odd numbers randomly. Fortunately the Curve has a keyboard lock, so no butt dialing has happened here.

This device is so much more than just a cell phone. It has it all! I can browse the web, send and check e-mails, instant message with friends and family and I can take photos and videos to share with all! But it's not all about amusement. This is a wonderful tool for business as well and if I were employed at the moment, I'm sure I'd get even more use out of my Curve with its Tasks, Calendar, Documents to Go and Voice Notes Recording. Oh and I didn't even mention its Facebook application and addicting Brick Breaker game that...

Vix531 says "Wii Fit: A Fun Way to Get Fit" about Nintendo Wii Fit

Vix531 — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 01:36:17 GMT

The Wii Fit is the best purchase that I've made in recent years. It took me a long while to find one to purchase, but it was well worth the hunt. Prior to acquiring the Fit, I was a couch potato for the most part. My daily execise was playing outside with the dogs each day, but that wasn't enough to do much for me healthwise. The Wii Fit provides a wonderful way to get the lazy me up and off the couch. It's as amusing as video game playing, but provides exercises that help build strength, balance and weight loss. With a combination of Yoga, Strength Training, Aerobics and Balance games, this wonderful invention has something for everyone.

The Wii Fit board is nicely sized. Even my big, sized 10 feet are able to fit on it without any trouble. The available exercises are fun and yet challenging and have enough options to make each day's workout unique from the day before.

I worried about losing interest in the Wii Fit after a short span of time, but so far that has not happened. ...

Vix531 says "A delight for breakfast." about General Mills Fiber One Caramel Delight

Vix531 — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 00:40:37 GMT

I'm the type of gal that likes sweet cereals. Give me a kiddy cereal with lots of marshmallows, sugar and toys in the package and I'm a happy camper. So when I first noticed the various Fiber One cereals in the grocery store, I was sure that I'd never subject my taste buds to such boring items.

One day I had a coupon for Fiber One and noticed that they were on sale for half price. I thought I'd regret it, but I picked up a box of the Fiber One Caramel Delight cereal. At the price I figured at worst I could feed it to the hubby as he's not as picky as I am when it comes to food.

I poured myself a bowl the next morning and prepared myself for a bland bite. I was so wrong. That first bite and every one after it were a tasty treat! The cereal is sweet, yet not overly sugary. It's the most delicious cereal that I've had in a long time. It does bring to mind those Fiber One commercials where they guy at the store says that there can't be any fiber in the items because they...

Vix531 says "Sophisticated Sounds" about IL DIVO - THE PROMISE

Vix531 — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 01:01:42 GMT

The group Il Divo is made up of four members: Carlos Marin, David Miller, Sebastien Izambard, and Urs Buhler. These four attractive men are so much more than pretty faces. Their voices are powerful and emotion filled when they sing. I had never listened to any Il Divo music before this CD so I was completely unsure of what to expect . I was pleasantly surprised to discover how wonderful it is. Every song has something to offer, but my personal favorites are "Angelina" and "The Winner Takes it All (Va Todo Al Ganador)".

The CD includes songs in Italian and Spanish, but because of the amazing level of emotion and strength in the men's voices, one does not need to be able to speak or understand the language to fully experience the music. The listener can feel it and embrace it without relying on pesky words and literal translations, which brings a whole new level to music listening.

The amazing voices of Il Divo make this a perfect CD to sit back with a glass of wine and lose oneself in the...

Vix531 says "Heaven in a wrapper." about Lindt Lindor Truffles

Vix531 — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 00:54:07 GMT

A coworker of mine once described the Lindt chocolates as "better than sex!" and I think she was onto something with that comment. These delicious truffles come in a variety of chocolates (milk, dark, white...) so there's something for everyone. Each piece is a little ball of chocolate-y heaven. The Lindt Truffles make a wonderful gift and a great treat for anyone with a sweet tooth. Savoring these chocolates is hard because once the tongue tastes the delicious flavor, the teeth immediately want to get involved.
