I Love My Snuggie Blanket With Sleeves!

jennyreviews — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 16:53:30 -0800

I recently ordered a Snuggie online (one of those seen on TV things) and almost haven’t taken it off since it arrived -- I just wish I could wear it to my chilly office!

My friend first told me about this thing that basically amounted to a blanket with arms, and decided "what the heck," after I saw it on TV.

I usually keep my apartment a bit chilly cold to save money on energy and stay a little green in the mean time, so I needed a few good thick blankets. The problem was, just as the Snuggie commercial said, I couldn't do much in my tank-top PJs without my arms geting goose bumps and my hands absolutely freezing.

It was Saturday, and a knock at the door woke me up. The postman handed me a box with a big Snuggie: The Blanket With Sleeves label. I signed for it and tore the box open immediately; my day of chick-flicks and popcorn had begun.

It also inspired me to get out my knitting needles. I'm usually a super crafty, but when winter comes, I just like to curl up in a blanket and forget a lot of my crafts. I can still knit some, but when my hands get cold, I can hardly work the needles and have to stop before long.

Now I'm back to knitting like a madwoman and sewing all the time in my big soft Snuggie. It's just a blanket with arms and I can easily pull back the sleeves to work on anything I have in front of me.

Moving around was easy too, I never had to crawl back into a chilly blanket and it was perfect for naps – I haven’t woken up with my blanket falling off since my Snuggie came.

I used a buy one-get-one-free deal to buy my Snuggie online, but I ended up keeping both for myself, although I leave my spare in my blanket corner for guests. I think I'll get another pair for some Christmas presents!

Search Craigslist "The Right Way" - 8 advanced features

jshspencer — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 01:05:25 -0800

I've just discovered Craigslist ZIP/Area Search tool - yet another site dedicated to "making craigslist the way it should be"

While the "craigslist#2" itself looks like a full-scale classifieds site, it's only goal seems to be in navigating poor old craigslist "the right way" through its advanced features:

Craiglook - Search Craigslist by ZIP/Area

Zip/Area search.

Enter zip/city and pick radius - Cool... no need to browse 10 craigslist sites to find what you need
"Search All Locations" -

all results across the U.S. Wonder how many "Maserati Quattroporte" are for sale in the U.S. ?
Images preview -

i like it soooooo much, it's so freaking convenient ! Don't ask me why craigslist doesn't have it...
"Contact Poster" button -

right in the listing. "Send Message" opens in a pop up on the same page... Very nice.
Neighborhood search -

oh that's nice. Now i can see how many "guitar lessons" teachers are in my town and neighbour areas
Seller's Phone # -

seems to be useful for posts with no return emails.
Item description -

short 3 lines under each post, right in the listing
Categories Tree -

simplier than the original craigslist's - with less categories and less stuff to be frustrated about.

Summary:
Craigslist is the largest local marketplace on earth with hundreds of millions ads posted every day across hundreds of sites.
I like it, I personally buy tons of stuff off of craigslist every month (I am a green design / recycling junkie and at the same time - I can't stop complaining about it's poor design and lack of usability.

The "craiglook" site seems to be a good fit for buyers who would like to get all pros of craigslist without sacrificing a bit of usability. I really like the design, the features and the fact that the site is free.

Happy browsing ! I really hope you'll find this post useful!

NP Set lipstick by Nepoleon Perdis

almost famous — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 12:17:15 -0800

Not just your ordinary matte lipstick. NP Set by Nepoleon Perdis is the baddest and boldest lipstick I've ever purchased and this is coming from a gal whom is in love with MAC lipstick. However, this lipstick isn't as dry feeling as a Mac matte finish lipstick. The boldness of this lippie, is intense! Even a little dab will give off enough color. Lip gloss with this lipstick is completely optional. It's sold at Target for $15.00! Love it!

I love this lippie. It's creamy (of course) and packs on a lot of color. It's $13 dollars and worth every penny! It's long-lasting and soft on the lips. I purchased Toffee and It's amazing! Trust me it is so...worth it!

Funny Names

Myst — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 20:39:43 -0800

Do you guys have a funny name? Not the weird ones like these celebrities are giving their poor kids, but on that maybe normal but just doesn't seem to suit you. I'm still convinced that my mom was high on whatever it is they gave her when she had me cause I think I have the funniest if not corniest name on planet. So what about you? Do you have have a name that you wish you could go back in time and smack your parents for writing it down on your birth certificate?

Wet 'n' Wild Glassy Gloss

This lip gloss adds a lot of color to your lip if not careful. It is more shimmery than shiny, but it is sticky. There is no scent. But what it lacks in scent, it makes up for color. I gave this lip gloss a two stars only for the color pay off.
