Happy Earth Day!!! It’s no coincidence that I chose a day devoted to the renewal, celebration, and awareness of the environment for my reemergence into the personal blogging scene. Because…when it comes down to it – we’re all connected in some way, shape or form. Connected through the air we breathe, the ups and downs […]

Artpark Doodle-a-Day Reviews will return shortly with daily doodles and reviews. I’ve been putting off my re-emergence until I was sure that I could truly commit. Thanks for the support that I’ve received and I’m hoping to have a spectacular new year with my readers!

The contents of Lipton Pyramid Tea Bags always look fresh and tempting. The shape of the bag resembles a billowy see-through Egyptian pyramid, filled with real pieces of fruit and long-leaf tea. The result – more space to allow an even infusion. Months ago, I first tried the Red Tea with Strawberry and Passionfruit…pretty good. […]

I am so sorry that I’ve neglected my blog. I’ve been camping out at a hospital with a family member who is battling leukemia. Things are looking very good and they are well on their way towards remission. I’d just like to give thanks to the staff, nurses, and doctors at the Oncology Department at […]

Sorry for my absence, but a family emergency has caused me to lapse in my doodling and review responsibilities. This is a critical time in my life where a special journal could come in handy. I have fallen in love with Recover Your Thoughts – used journals made from discarded library books and such. The […]

Hmmmm – doesn’t a cinnamon pastry with filling and icing baked inside sound delicious? I was sold when I brought home Kellogg’s Bake Shop Cinnamon and Swirls – the latest frozen breakfast selection to hit the market. The size of the pastry looked decent, not as small as other breakfast items I’ve encountered. To cook […]

Can we talk about “convenience” today? Happy Columbus Day – the floating holiday that usually closes various businesses, the post office, libraries, and banks. Riding down the road, every bank was closed for business except one that seemed to call out my name. I’ve been a little unhappy with HSBC (my primary bank) and usually […]

I received a trial sample of Secret Flawless in a gift bag provided to me at a hotel in Las Vegas. With an assortment of health, hair, and skin care items, the powdery fresh deodorant is the only thing that I took interest in.
The product glides smoothly across the armpit and the scent is pleasant […]

I love wasabi…with its tingle-your-throat flavorful vapors that burn the nose with random rushes of intensity. So, when I happened upon wasabi-flavored peanuts by Emerald, I was excited. However, the product falls flat. About every fifth nut, a taste bud teaser that reminds you of wasabi is detected, but nothing like the real thing. The […]

The previews for “Deception” (with Ewan McGregor and Hugh Jackman) showed thrilling suspense with a twist…I was hooked…but…it turned out to be the most overdone plotline/psychopath/poor Joe Lonesome/typical love story. The events of the movie were glaringly obvious from the very start – as early as 10 minutes into the movie. I was highly disappointed. […]
