blueberryintx says "Loving, adorable, and friendly...what more could you ask for?" about Pet Cocker Spaniels

blueberryintx — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 23:49:49 GMT

I recommend cocker spaniels to everyone I know who is looking to add a four-legged friend to their household. I have to admit, I am a bit bias as I have had an adorable cocker spaniel for over 15 years now. Yes, he's a trooper to say the least. American Cocker Spaniels are some of the cutest canines out there, with big floppy ears, huge expressive eyes, and soft, curly coats. But what really appeals to me are their delightful personalities. Cockers are eager to be your best friend, always wanting to make you smile and play non-stop. Perhaps this may come off as a bit demanding and needing constant attention, but its worth every minute. Cockers need to be groomed frequently, which is somewhat expensive, but hey, they look even more adorable with a 'skirt' cut. And they are prone to stinky ear infections, but thats nothing some antibiotices won't fix. To sum it all up, like most all dogs, cocker spaniels will be your best friend, stand by your side through thick and thin, and hey~ they...

blueberryintx says "A flirty scent for your strands" about Aquolina Pink Sugar Hair Perfume

blueberryintx — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 23:36:29 GMT

I adore Pink Sugar as a fragrance, and when I heard that I could use a perfume specifically designed for my hair, I was sold! If you've never sniffed Pink Sugar edp, you should...now. It is fun, flirty scent. The vanilla and cotton candy notes are the strongest hitters followed by caramel and musk. I love how the hair perfume matches the edp, but its lighter, and more subtle....if this makes any sense. It takes about two or three spritzes of Pink Sugar Hair Perfume to make my strands smell delightful and yummy. Never makes my hair crunchy or alters any other products I may be using at the time. I picked my bottle up at Sephora for about $15, a great deal imo...a 5/5 in my book!!!!

blueberryintx says "A simple and moisturizing everyday lotion" about Aveeno Daily Moisturing Lotion

blueberryintx — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 01:43:02 GMT

Aveeno daily moisturizing lotion is the perfect lotion to tackle those pesky dry skin patches that pop up during the colder winter months. It is very important to keep skin hydrating when the air is cold and dry, as the skin tends to shrink and beg for moisture. Aveeno takes the gold medal in providing a simple and effective daily lotion to combat dryness. After showering, slather some Aveeno head to toe, and your set for a whole day. The smell is unoffensive and neutral, the formula is very soft (almost a gel-creme), and sets to a non-greasy finish. Its great because I can use any one of my fragrant lotions layered over my Aveeno-primed skin, without sacraficing moisturization. I only reapply whenever I wash my hands throughout the day. It's a great product and found for under $5USD at most drugstores and grocers, its a steal!...

blueberryintx says "Worth it in the long run" about Schick Intuition Plus Razor

blueberryintx — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 01:31:16 GMT

Yes, pricey. Yes, doesn't last very long~only 2-3 shaves per cartridge, but if you have super sensitive skin, then this is most definitley the razor for you. I discovered the schick intution razor a few years back when it was first introduced. At around $9USD for a razor starter set which includes a non-slip handle and 2 cartridges, or a 3 pack refill cartridges for the same, it will add up in the long run. Luckily, if you're good with coupons and sales, you can easily snatch some 3-pack refills for around $4-$5USD or so. The Intuition razor cartridges have a moistuizing and lathering shell that surround the triple blades. It is inevitable for one side of the cartridge to be used up quicker than the other due to the constant contact with skin and pressure. It is best to use on larger areas like the legs and underarms, but not on smaller areas that require more attention. YOu don't have to use a shave gel or creme with the Schick Intuition system, but using one seems to provide in even......

blueberryintx says "the perfect foundation" about L'Oreal Bare Naturale Powdered Mineral Foundation SPF 19

blueberryintx — Thu, 27 Nov 2008 00:29:47 GMT

I adore L'Oreal Bare Naturale Mineral Foundation! I have converted to using a powder (mineral) foundation after using a liquid or creme for years. The shade Light Ivory is a perfect match for my complexion. I love how the brush attached actually works!! Usually I toss the brushes included with d/s items. I have found that the best application works after a moisturizer is applied, allowed to set for 5-10 minutes. After sifting the product in the cap, I can swirl the product with the brush, tap off the excess, and blend the mineral foundation into my skin in large circular motions. It takes less than one minute~seriously to get a flawless finish. I LOVE THIS FOUNDATION! Found at most drugstores, grocers, and beauty specialty shops for around $12USD, its a real steal and far superior to any other mineral foundation on the market....move over Bare Minerals!...

blueberryintx says "Something for everyone in the family" about SeaWorld San Antonio - San Antonio, TX

blueberryintx — Thu, 27 Nov 2008 00:21:31 GMT

Sea World San Antonio is like any other theme park attraction out there~forever crowded and overpriced. But I will say that kids love it. I mean really love it... The water park, the rides, and that ever so popular killer whale. The season pass is the best deal, and basically pays for itself in less than 2 visits. The pass will also give you a bit of a discount at vendors in the park. There are a lot of different things to do while at Sea World. From an on-site brewery to a penguin experience, you'll surely find something up your alley. If you visit the water park, make sure to head there at the beginning of the day because usually it gets packed and the line to enter spans a long while. The water park itself is a refreshing break from the summer heat. Beware, it gets very crowded in the wave pool, and the lines can seem endless for the slides. The Shamu shows are usually filled as well, so plan accordingly. I will say, my favorite attraction at the park is the Sea Lions. Situated......

blueberryintx says "A perfect balance" about Origins Checks and Balances Frothy Face Wash

blueberryintx — Thu, 27 Nov 2008 00:06:21 GMT

Origins Checks and Balances is hands down the best face wash I have tried. This is targeting individuals, like me, with combination skin. This cleanser is a must have in keeping skintone even and balanced. Checks and Balances keeps acne breakouts at bay, and its frothy minty lather cleans deep down without stripping moisture. Found at Origins retail locations for about $18USD, its a bit pricier than drugstore, but so worth it in the end! Highly recommended!!!...

blueberryintx says "Worth every penny" about O.P.I. Nail Lacquer

blueberryintx — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 23:58:25 GMT

OPI nail polishes are hands down the greatest, highest quality polishes out there. From the very sheer polishes to the most risky shades, you're sure to find what you want from OPI. Very often, usually each season, OPI will release special collections with a particular theme in mind. For example, most recently it was the France collection. The new 'Pro-wide' brushes on OPIs make application a breeze, without streaks, and they dry quickly. In my experience, OPIs retail for about $8-$9 at stores like Ulta and beauty supply shops, but can be found online cheaper through sites like Ebay and others.... With one of OPIs many variety of topcoats, your manicure or pedicure can easily last a week without chips. Highly recommended!...
