vivasuzi says "Not bad, but a bit more talking than I expected." about 2012

vivasuzi — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 00:26:28 GMT

2012 is a story about the end of the world. Apparently the Mayan's predicted the world would end in 2012, and guess what, it looks like they were right! According to this movie at least. The movie actually begins in 2009 as scientists discover some anomalies happening at the Earth's core. This news spreads up to the president of the United States and from there makes it to all the important people of the world. But the regular person, like Jackson Curtis and family, have no idea what is about to happen to them.

The film follows the president, the scientists, and his daughter on one side of the spectrum. These are the people in the know and trying to figure out what to do while keeping things underwraps. Then the film also follows Jackson Curtis, his ex-wife and kids as they try to piece together things they hear and save themselves before it is too late. Who will survive? You'll have to watch and see!

John Cusack plays Jackson Curtis, a writer who wrote a book that...

vivasuzi says "It's cute, and definitely keeps me warmer at work!" about Covington Sport Microfleece Jacket

vivasuzi — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 17:51:39 GMT

I went to Sears looking for a cardigan with the intent to get a large warm cardigan for work. My building is usually freezing, but sometimes it is warm so I don't like to wear a sweater every day. Instead, I wanted a cardigan I could leave at work for times when it gets really cold. After looking at the cardigan's at sears, I was having no luck. Many of them were 3/4 sleeves and others were the holey material that didn't look too warm. Luckily I walked a little further and found the Covington Sport Microfleece Jacket in the Misses section.

The Covington Sport Microfleece Jacket is cute and that is the first thing I noticed. It seemed like something I would wear and I was drawn to it as soon as my husband pointed it out to me. I instantly handed him my coat and purse so I could try one on. I felt warmer the instant I put it on and knew that this is what I needed for those chilly days at work!

The Jacket is very soft and made of 100% polyester. This is so comfortable that I feel...

vivasuzi says "Now this is what I call Cheese and Crackers!" about Keebler - TownHouse FlipSides Pretzel Crackers

vivasuzi — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 04:41:46 GMT

I would never had heard of Townhouse FlipSides Pretzel Crackers if it weren't for an offer I got when I was clipping coupons. The coupon didn't say much except that they were "pretzel crackers" so I was certainly curious!

Now that I've bought them, ate them, and loved them, I know these crackers will be a staple in our house and something I bring anytime I need to make a cheese and cracker plate for a party. With one side tasting like a pretzel, and the other side tasting like a cheese cracker, these things are delicious right out of the box. However, as you can see from my pics I really like to eat crackers with cheese so I added some sliced Kraft to my cracker and it was 10x better! I can't wait to tell my sister about these crackers so she can serve them with her famous Cheese ball! They are just so good and I bet they would go great with a whole variety of dips and spreads.

The best part is, the crackers are strong and can easily be used for dips without worry of them breaking....

GigiandAdonai says "A gift from someone who is now an angel in the truest sense." about Bradford Exchange I Wish You Porcelain Angel Figurine

GigiandAdonai — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 19:49:58 GMT

In August of this year I lost a really special friend to a tragic accident. Brannigan and I were on the same dance team for the last four years and this year we began dating prior to him returning to Australia for a visit with his family. He was involved in an ATV accident that claimed his life and I was left with only the memories of having danced with him and loved him for a short time.

After staying with friends and family for a week I returned to work and went to the post office to check my mail. I had a package to pick up and it was from Brannigan. It seems that while he was in Australia he sent me the "I Wish You" porcelain angel by Bradford Exchange. Along with the angel was a card that said, "Sending you this angel to watch over you until I can hold you in my arms again." He didn't know that I was going to meet him at the Atlanta airport so he mailed me this package as a way of letting me know he was thinking about me and would be seeing me again. Well, our plans were...

GigiandAdonai says "This might very well be Twilight Woods in a bottle." about Ultra Downy Simple Pleasures: Spice Blossom Dare

GigiandAdonai — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 17:49:53 GMT

Being single, I don't have to do laundry that often and it's probably one of the household chores that I don't care for that much. I love the smell of fresh laundry but I hate the folding and putting away. About a year ago I reviewed the Ultra Downy Tahitian Waterfall fabric softener. I loved that stuff but as is the case with me; I think they discontinued it so I went back to the original April Fresh for months. I stayed clear of the Simple Pleasures for some time because they were always too intense for me. But then the other day I saw this beautiful burgundy bottle. It was Ultra Downy Simple Pleasures: Spice Blossom Dare. I decided to see what it smelled like. I opened the cap and wow! It smelled wonderful. I don't quite know how to describe it; except to say if you have ever smelled Bath and Body Works Twilight Woods then this closely resembles it.

The scent is classy and elegant but not too overwhelming if you are washing men's clothes. It's like an outdoorsy...

GigiandAdonai says "I don't like spiders and snakes but I love spider legs!" about L'Oreal Telescopic Explosion Mascara

GigiandAdonai — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 16:58:53 GMT

I read PattyTherre's review on her mascara (read it here) and I fell in love with everything she said about it. Many know that since joining Viewpoints every time I read a mascara review I will usually refer back to my wonderful L'Oreal Voluminous; which I had been using for about 2-3 years. You can read JasyJen's review on Voluminous here. I never read any other reviews that made me say, "I've just got to have that mascara" until I read Patty's on the L'Oreal Telescopic Explosion. Not only did I have to have it but I went on a journey trying to find it. If you have read our comments during the past week you will see what I mean.

I started off at Walmart and found the L'Oreal Telescopic Original. Don't pick this up thinking you are getting what Patty reviewed. This is in a gold tube and has the standard brush. The Explosion has a tiny ball-like brush and comes in a red tube. I went to three Walmarts and couldn't find Explosion. It was then recommended I try CVS and Rite...

GigiandAdonai says "Subtle shades of earth tones that aren't too dark or drab." about L'Oreal Wear Infinite Eye Shadow-Summer Dusk (508)

GigiandAdonai — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 16:01:34 GMT

Back in 2001 I bought a complete line of L'Oreal makeup and within two days I discovered that I couldn't wear the eyeshadow. It had some sort of fragrance in it that irritated my eyelids and the skin literally peeled off. I knew it was the makeup because once I quit using it my eyes cleared up within days. I returned to my old faithful Clinique and was content for years. But then I bought a new home and decided that I needed to cut some corners and went back to my drugstore makeup versus the elite lines. I have done well until last week.

I was in need of eyeshadow and mascara. PattyTherre had posted an awesome review on the L'Oreal Telescopic Explosion mascara and I just knew I had to get me some. So while out hunting for that I checked out the eyeshadow. L'Oreal has a color line and the "For Brown Eyes" was beautiful. I remembered the problem I had with the eyeshadow several years ago but I just wanted to believe that was a fluke and I could try it again. So, I purchased...
