Have a cookie. Never mind the fat-free sugar-free taste-free variety… this box of treats from Mrs Fields is the real deal. We’re talking either 12 or 24 (your choice) standard sized cookies, or 48 or 96 pieces of “Nibblers” bite-sized cookies.
This gorgeous box was put together for Father’s Day, but I think it’s a good gift anytime. Box measures 8 1⁄2″W x 8 1⁄2″D x 4″H and is available from Mrs Fields.
If, like me and thousands of other women around the world, you have sensitive skin, you must try Philosophy’s Purity Made Simple Facial Cleanser. Until I discovered this, I’d been using Cetaphil, which- while it “worked” in the sense that it didn’t contribute to my facial redness or irritate my skin- never left my skin with the glow that Purity does.
It removes makeup wonderfully, and in the past 5 months, has never given me a breakout. Highly recommended!
Available at Amazon through our store for $20 for the 8-ounce bottle and $32 for the 16-ounce bottle.
You can never be too rich or too thin. While I might agree with the former (what exactly is “too rich”?), I think there are too many too-thin people in this world. Thin does not equate beautiful, not for me… but sometimes, just sometimes, when going to the gym isn’t appealing, and ones husband cooks too many delicious foods… we might need some help in that department.
Enter Alli, a “weight-loss aide” that’s recently been FDA-approved, and is seemingly taking the world- and the web- by storm.
Alli is a “fat blocker”- it binds itself to your gastric and pancreatic lipases, thereby blocking absorption of 25% of consumed fat. That may not sound like much, but according to makers of Alli, their product can help an individual lose 50% more weight than with dieting alone.

Precisely because of all the many distractions in my life, I make an extra effort to read more. I, who used to go through four books a week, was averaging about a book a month. Shocking- and a little bit embarrassing.
A quick peek at the bestselling books at our Amazon store shows that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7)
I’m also pleased to see Khalen Hosseini’s excellent A Thousand Splendid Suns, which is beautifully written and an astounding follow up to The Kite Runner, at number two.
