Toys made in the USA


With all of the toy recalls lately, I am more and more motivated to buy toys made in the USA. I am sure my nephew when he's 3 years old would love this toy helicopter! If not, maybe I could give it to my husband?

Mega deals on mega bus


For those of you who enjoy a long bus ride, mega bus is the way to travel. You can travel REALLY cheaply to a bunch of cities. For example, if I were traveling from Chicago to Minneapolis in a couple of weeks, I would just pay $50 round trip. Not a bad deal!

Foods that help you relax & sleep


Lately, I haven't been sleeping well. I imagine it's because I have a lot on my mind and it's been really hot in our apartment. I have tried drinking warm milk before bedtime but that doesn't seem to work for me. I also avoid most forms of caffeine, except the occasional chai or chocolate.
To combat this problem, I've been reading about foods that help you relax and fall asleep. I am not sure of the scientific legitimacy of these claims but if you like these foods & need to relax, you might as well try them. Next time I'm trying to fall asleep or feeling the need to relax, I'll have to munch on some celery!

Free 411??


Paying for directory assistance is the pits, especially when you could have that information for free in your local yellow pages. Thanks to Free411, now you don't have to pay for any phone number you need. There are no gimmicks! You might have to listen to some advertisers throughout your call but isn't it worth it??

Get your oats on!


We all know that oats provide great health benefits! Some of you might not know that oats are great for your skin too. My face has been screaming for a nice facial. I have plenty of honey and oats in my cupboard--I might just have to try this spa index honey oatmeal facial. Sounds yummy!

Eat more garlic


Aside from warding off vampires, garlic is every cook’s staple. You can press it, chop it, mash it, and more! Garlic is also good for you and may be instrumental in preventing various cancers. Some people even believe that garlic acts as a natural mosquito repellant, treats cold and flu symptoms, and manages high cholesterol. Don’t forget your daily dose of garlic today!
