I met the people from Garden of Life at the recent Blogher conference in Chicago. I had never heard of the company before but they claimed to have all natural supplements and offer a wide variety of products. I requested a sample of a few different products and they sent me...
Product Review: Mrs. Smith’s Classic Dutch Apple Pie
The other day, I went to Smokin' Al's in Massapequa. We ordered a brownie sundae for the table. When the waitress came to the table, she said, "I'll tell you a secret, but don't tell anyone. The brownies in this sundae are not homemade. They are actually fried Entemann's Brownie...
Product Review: RavPower 14000mAh External Battery Charger
I don't know about you, but I find all of my devices lose power after a few hours of use. Then, I scramble looking for an outlet to plug in. However, there are times that outlets aren't that accessible. Therefore, if you're someone like me who is constantly on the...

Social Networking Review: Keek
If you thought Vine (a Twitter video sharing tool) was pretty awesome, you will think that Keek, a new social networking site that is primarily video based, rocks! I joined Keek the other day after getting an email from one of my employees saying, “Check this out. It’s a new...
Product Review: Bounty DuraTowel
I don’t know about you, but I’ve never been brand loyal to a paper towel product. I have my set brands for toilet paper, Scott Tissue, and for my cereal, Kellog’s, but I’ve never been inclined to have one for paper towels. My rational was to get the cheapest paper...
