Pam’s Favorite Places: A New Blog

My long-suffering cat is now used to the sight of my suitcase out on the floor. She actively attempts to prevent me from packing because she knows that I will be leaving her.* I like to travel every month if I can. I’m starting a new section of my blog under Travel called “Pam’s Favorite Places” to share my experiences with the hotels, cities and … Continue reading Pam’s Favorite Places: A New Blog

The Hype Behind the “Best Eyelash Curler on the Planet”: Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler Review

I wrongly assumed that people had heard about the hype behind the “world’s best” eyelash curler from Japanese brand, Shu Uemura. But then I have to remember that most women in the U.S. (and probably all the men) don’t worry about having the stick-straight eyelashes that most Asian women have. It may seem trivial, but eyelash curlers become a HUGE deal if you don’t already … Continue reading The Hype Behind the “Best Eyelash Curler on the Planet”: Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler Review

A Lazy Person’s Guide to Fresh Breath: Listerine Pocketmist Review

The quest for fresh breath is universal for almost everyone. Some people prefer gum–but it’s not a good option for people whose jaws get tired or have tooth issues. Some like those popular curiously strong mints–but it’s similarly not pleasant for those who avoid strong flavors–like me. I don’t want my breath mint to hurt me. A good compromise between the two is a breath spray like … Continue reading A Lazy Person’s Guide to Fresh Breath: Listerine Pocketmist Review

The Perfect Foldable Tote Bag: The RuMe All Tote Bag Review

If you’re living in a city whose stores charge for bags of any kind (to discourage paper/plastic bag waste, like San Francisco), you walk around with a foldable tote bag at all times. It feels kinda nerdy, but I feel a strange sense of satisfaction when I’m able to whip out my handy RuMe All Tote Bag, unfold it in seconds and feel like I’m being … Continue reading The Perfect Foldable Tote Bag: The RuMe All Tote Bag Review

Get the Pet Hair Out of Your Eyes: The FURminator deShedding Tool Review

The joys of having a pet are many, like companionship, unconditional love, and LOTS of fur flying in the air.

The FURminator deShedding Tool is the most effective pet hair brush I’ve found to … Continue reading Get the Pet Hair Out of Your Eyes: The FURminator deShedding Tool Review

Why You Need this Life-Changing Setting Spray: Make Up For Ever Mist and Fix Review

Who knew that this setting spray, Make Up For Ever Mist & Fix, would change my life? First of all, I didn’t know what a “setting spray” was. I thought that was something related to hairspray for women in the 1950s. 😀 Secondly, when I say that it is “life-changing,” I mean in a beauty product/time-saving way, not in a way that can solve world hunger or make … Continue reading Why You Need this Life-Changing Setting Spray: Make Up For Ever Mist and Fix Review

Check Your Makeup with Your iPhone Case Mirror: Johncase iPhone 6 Soft Bumper with Mirror Review

Most people have their phones at reach at all times. I figured if I was going to always have my phone on me, why not make it useful and get a bumper case with a back mirror on it. I’ve just gotten my second one, and I’ve had my iPhone 6 for 1.5 years already. Pretty good for something that costs only $6.99. My primary … Continue reading Check Your Makeup with Your iPhone Case Mirror: Johncase iPhone 6 Soft Bumper with Mirror Review

Makeup Remover That Actually Works: Clinique Take the Day Off Cleansing Balm Review

There’s nothing more annoying to me than a cleanser that claims to “remove all traces of makeup”–only to find streaks of color on my toner/softener cotton pad after using it. They all claim to do this and it’s incredible that they are allowed to say that since most of them do not do what they claim. I can’t believe how long it’s taken me to … Continue reading Makeup Remover That Actually Works: Clinique Take the Day Off Cleansing Balm Review
