pampered1 says "The Cats Meow!!!!" about Fancy Feast Elegant Medleys cat food

pampered1 — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 21:59:38 GMT

We have several cats and they are more spoiled than any other pets I have ever come in contact with, so much so sometimes I feel like my husband and I are THEIR pets. The oldest female is like a Queen and when you put her food down she loves it or hates it...no in between. When I first saw the FANCY FEAST ELEGANT MEDLEYS on the shelf I thought, "Buy it for Izzy, she might like it". And I was right!! Normally she eats real prisssy like but not with these suckers. She goes nuts for them. She enjoys them so much I now use them more as a special occasion then every day food. They come in small cans that are easy to store and come in a variety of flavors. They are a bit pricy considering their size so thats even more of a reason I only serve them from time to time. But according to Izzy they are worth every penny.

pampered1 says "The ONLY food for my cat Brokepaw!!!" about Meow Mix Wet & Dry

pampered1 — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 21:51:51 GMT

My oldest cat Brokepaw just turned 5. He is by far the most spoiled cat on the planet. He is SUPER picky and since he was a kitten the food I could get him to eat was MEOW MIX POUCHES. Just the sound of me shaking the pouch sends him running to the kitchen. I'm sure if he had his choice he would be their spokescat. They are reasonably priced and easy to store and come in like 12 different flavors. They have recently become hard to find and when I contacted Meow Mix I was told they are discontinuing them to replace them with the Select Cups. Brokepaw is not happy and neither is his owner. I'm now having to feed him tuna because everything else makes him give me this sad face like, "Whats this\?" If you see them in the store grab you a box, I'm sure your pet would love them too!

pampered1 says "Good Health Benefits and Good Tasting too" about Minute Maid Pomegranate Blueberry Juice

pampered1 — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 01:35:15 GMT

I always try to make an effort to try every new juice product that hits the shelves and so when I saw the new Minute Maid Pomegranate Blueberry Juice I thought it "looked" good so I gave it a try. Now it was priced a bit higher than some other juice products out there but it was on sale at a decent price but if it does what it claims then I guess it would be worth it.

Weird thing is I thought it tasted better a warmer temperature than after sitting in the fridge for a day or two. It is a bit sweeter than I wanted but has a pretty good taste to it. It seems a bit heavy though so I cant seem to drink it in large amounts, almost use it as a "treat" for myself.

pampered1 says "This is CLEARLY the BEST juice on the market" about Minute Maid Pomegranate Lemonade

pampered1 — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 01:25:10 GMT

I am a HUGE fan of lemonade and when I went to get my normal lemonade I saw the new Minute Maid Pomegranate Lemonade so I thought "why not?" So I grabbed one and headed home, threw it in the fridge and forgot about it. The next morning I grabbed a glass and was AMAZED! Not too sweet, not too sour (from the lemons), JUST PERFECT.

Everywhere you go now you see Pomegranate this Pomegranate that but this one is a perfect balance of two great flavors. This is by far my favorite juice on the market...period. And since its not bad for you either you just cant go wrong!!

pampered1 says "How did I ever live without it????" about Simply Simply Lemonade with Raspberry

pampered1 — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 02:10:03 GMT

So I was in the grocery store and was jonesin for something new to try and I saw this pink juice and thought...why not??

I became instantly addicted!!! I mean I bought almost all that were on the shelf. I am pretty picky about my juices and this one is Simply one of the best out there!!

If you are looking for a real nice treat put it in the freezer for about 45 mins and give it a good shake and it becomes like a icy lemonade treat...delicious!

Everybody who comes to my house is offered some Simply Lemonade with Raspberry, I almost feel like a spokeperson!

pampered1 says "I have never met a cat who doesn't love it!" about Whiskas Cat Milk

pampered1 — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 18:36:22 GMT

After looking online I learned that although cats LOVE milk their digestive systems do not and the worst thing ever is when you're trying to enjoy a bowl of cereal and have to watch my 2 brats (Brokepaw and Memphis) have that sad little look on their face because I won't give them the leftover milk. So I found Whiskas Cat Milk on the pet food isle and figured maybe this would soothe their cravings...and boy did it ever!!!

I buy a 3-pack and a few times a week I give it to my cats as a treat vs actual cat treats. THEY ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!! Just the shaking of the carton drives them nuts and circle my feet meowing in excitement!! I love to spoil my cats and this is a product that helps me do so.

I would reccommed this product to anyone having behavioral issues with their cat as well. I use it to reward them when they respond to commands or show me they have learned how to not do something we both know they want to do more than anything (i.e. not running outside everytime the door is opened....

pampered1 says "If you own multiple cats this is the one!!" about Tidy Cats Multiple Cat Litter

pampered1 — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 18:26:35 GMT

The best thing about Tidy Cats is that unlike most other cats it is AFFORDABLE and if you have multiple cats and have to change your litter more often than most price is a major factor.

It comes in a couple of different sizes which is helpful as well (10, 20, 25 and 30 lb bags). As far as the odor control goes I feel it performs pretty good.

It's the only cat litter I use!!

pampered1 says "Eye-Catching design but the cleaning power is lacking.." about Woolite Pod

pampered1 — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 18:17:04 GMT

I have pets..a lot of pets and I also have a beige microfiber sectional that I absolutely LOVE so I needed something to help me bridge the gap between them. For only $5 I figured, if it's made by Woolite it should be worth it. After all the design is pretty neat and has 3 little brushes that seemed helpful so I bought in.

The design is the best feature but it has its flaws too. Sometimes when you use the scrubber that is attached you end up squeezing out more of the product than you wanted. But it also has a cover that caps it off so when you store it the product does not leak out.

The cleaning power was pretty decent but not spectacular. But maybe my hopes were just set too high.

Overall for small messes this product performs well but for major stains it kinda fell short.

pampered1 says "Simply Apple is Simply Amazing!!!!" about Simply Apple

pampered1 — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 22:55:14 GMT

This juice is by far my favorite juice on the market!!!! I crave juice in the morning but for some reason me and orange juice just dont get along. One morning I grabbed it out of the cooler at the corner store and have been hooked every since!! You have to buy it in advance and leave it in the fridge for at least a day so it is COLD.

It is a bit pricey but worth every dime!

I love this juice and tell everyone I know about it!

pampered1 says "It definitely lives up to the hype!" about Chi Ceramic Flat Iron

pampered1 — Sun, 12 Apr 2009 03:12:07 GMT

Everyone I have ever met and had the "I wish I could have straight hair like you" conversation they all have always told me "Try the Chi". So finally I checked it out and one look at the price tag and the words "buyers remorse" crossed my mind. I had some extra money and was dying for a new look to give me a boost so I took the chance. All I can say is "Boy were they right!"

The Chi ceramic hair straightner is amazing... It is sleek and smooth and does not catch your hair at the ends. Nice. It cut down the time of me straighting my hair down to an hour vs the normal 2 1/2. Mine happens to be a limited edition skull and crossbones edition so its eye catching too!

Heats up fast, doesnt burn you and leaves your hair silky. Also has Chi silk straightening serum that is also amazing!! I gotta say...I have tried a lot of flat irons and this one is by far the best out there. The price is borderline expensive but worth every penny!!

pampered1 says "Not what you see on TV" about Tre Milano In Styler: The Rotating Iron

pampered1 — Sun, 12 Apr 2009 03:03:15 GMT

So I am a bi-racial female age 28, I have hair just past my shoulders and it is CURLY! I have spent my whole life trying to get my hair straight like my mothers but have had NO LUCK without using some harsh chemical to realx it. I bought my first Chi flat iron and was impressed. By far it had done the best of all flat irons I had used before. Then late one night I see some chick I recognized from American Idol on some late night informercial. But this one caught my eye. And with the payment plan and the "buy one get one free" offer I just could not resist. When they arrived in the mail I was instantly attracted to it. It has a sleek design unlike any other straightening tools I had ever seen. So I began and I will admit it does a nice job at straightening but NOTHING LIKE THE COMMERCIAL SHOWED! It has something weird going on at the end that keeps getting little hairs stuck in it and ripping them out of my head.

One thing I can say is when I use it in conjunction with my Chi it helps...

pampered1 says "Great Vaccuum for the price!!" about Bissell Powerforce Bagless

pampered1 — Sun, 12 Apr 2009 02:49:18 GMT

Right out of the box I will say it cleans great. It has the bagless cylinder that you empty which is cool because you can actually see stuff accumulate so you know for a fact stuff is getting picked up. And honestly not having nasty bags to change is a major plus! It has lots of handly neat little attachments like a brush and an extender that have handy little nooks and crannys they fit into. Overall its attractive and like I said when its new works great. Bust after a few months you start to have stuff build up in places you just cant seem to be able to reach or to find.

On the bad side if you are like me and you vaccuum more than 3 times a weeek be prepared for the life of this one to be a short one. The low price of the Bissell Powerforce Bagless is a major upside since you will be replacing it shortly. If you are a person who only does light cleaning or a young person in their first place this one is a keeper!

pampered1 says "Great Phone for the Music Lover" about Motorola Q Smartphone

pampered1 — Sun, 12 Apr 2009 02:38:35 GMT

I was new to Verizon and was looking for a stylish phone and definitely wanted one with a QWERTY keyboard option. The Motoq 9m comes in red with is a nice change from the black and silver phones. Overall I like it. I ended up upgrading to the BB storm but I kept my Motoq just in case!!

The negatives are the phone does not have the greatest battery life and does not have an option to download ringtones. I found a program online that showed me how to download songs and make my own but it was a real pain so I did not do it more than once.This phone left me with a very positive feeling about Motorola so in the future I may try another model.

pampered1 says "Good deal... FOR THE PRICE" about Hewlett Packard compaq prosario C700

pampered1 — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 02:31:20 GMT

So I was in the market for my first laptop computer and was on a limited budget. Off to Best Buy....so I tried em all and of course there were a lot I would have preferred but as I said I was on a budget. I did not need a laptop that did a lot. Just the basics. And I found it. Overall its a good computer but unfortunately runs on windows vista which we all know has its problems but the best part was when my charger broke I called compaq and they replaced it...no problem no questions. Their customer service was great...this time!!

A few months later when my charger stopped working again they informed me it was a port issue and for $400 they would let me send it in and get it repaired...for $400 I could just buy a new one...no thanks.

pampered1 says "Great game for folks who just like to shoot stuff" about Xbox 360 - Blood On The Sand

pampered1 — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 02:10:38 GMT

So after I completed the latest installment of Call of Duty I was jonesin for a serious hard core shoot em up kinda game. And there it was...Blood in the Sand. Its a game from rapper 50 Cent and is a great game with a good story line...fun charecters and lots and lots of shooting. Of course there is an objective and yes its fairly easy but if you are looking for mindless fun...this is your game. If you are a hip=hop fan then this game will be right up your alley. The only downside to the game was I did not feel like there was enough training before but other than that...Im good!

pampered1 says "Will Ferrell strikes again!!!" about Step Brothers

pampered1 — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 22:34:33 GMT

If you are a fan of Will Ferrell and the Frat Pack you gotta see this one!! I bought the DVD because my collection would not be complete without it! I had seen it in the theatres 4 times because I couldnt wait for it come out on DVD. Expect Will Ferrell and John C Reilly to make you laugh until you pee!! The DVD has deleted scenes that are HILARIOUS and in a perfect world would have been a part of the film. The supporting roles are played by equally funny actors and actresses. I loved this movie and think it is quite possibly one of my top 10 comedies,,,,,,,see it!

pampered1 says "Sitting in the lap of luxury has never been so much fun!" about Cadillac DTS - 2008

pampered1 — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 22:29:42 GMT

The first Cadillac I ever drove was my best friends 2000 Cadillac DHS and was instantly in love! His was fully loaded with a media package out of this world. I wanted a Cadillac but a fully loaded model was waaaay outta my price range so I settled for a base model and have very few complaints!

The best feature is that the car drives more like a sports car than a limo. Great leather and great wood accents makes for a beautiful interior. The exterior lights are a purple-ish blue and the grill is chrome and GORGEOUS!! When it comes to the exterior its one of the most eye-catching out there. The interior is roomy and comfortable.

The sound system is not as great as some of the models of the past but not the worst either.

Overall I love my car and cant imagine my life without her!

pampered1 says "Iphone beware because a STORM is brewing!!!!" about Blackberry - Storm Cell Phone

pampered1 — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 22:22:23 GMT

So this is my first blackberry and my first all touch phone so I was a bit nervous at first but after playing with one in the Verizon store it was love at first sight!!! Of course the salesman at the store showed me a few features up front like the Visual Voicemail which is awesome!!! No more calling your vm....you can see who the voicemail is from, pause, rewind and fast forward as well as return the call all on the screen and without ever calling. Of course all the cool little features like scrolling and wiping make for a fun phone even when not in use. I still catch myself playing with the neat features.

On the bad side sometimes when switching the phone to its side the screen takes a second to catch up or you have to shake it a bit. Also from time to time it freezes up but one good battery pull usually does the trick . If you lay it down flat it wont scroll either.

Overall....I am in love!!! After a few weeks I am still constantly exploring it to see just what all I...

pampered1 says "If I wasn't searching for love before I am now!" about Sex and The City - The Movie

pampered1 — Sat, 31 May 2008 16:00:58 GMT

- If you are anywhere close to calling yourself a fan of the Sex & The City television show you would seriously be cheating yourself not to see this big screen version!! If on the other hand you are not yet a fan consider this, the makers of this film did an outstanding job of playing "catch-up" in a way that seems effortless. Sex & fans love the show for several reasons and the filmakers brought those attributes to the big sreen in a big way.
- The wardrobe was TRue Sex & The City! The ladies were beautiful, clothing amazing and the accessories were no less than perfection! You always expect this series to show you beautiful clothing but this time (and especially with the wedding dress) they outdid themselves.
- The actresses showed sides to them they never had shown before in the series and therefore creating emotional responses from me I was not expecting. The scene on the street where Carrie turns to Charlotte and Charlotte responds to Big with a big, heartfelt, honest "NO!" instantly...
