After 15 years, GeoCities closed their doors today. There are a lot of mixed feelings about this closure. Some happy, some sad.

1. I was a Community Leader for the Enchanted Forest, a place for 18 and under to create a web presence

3. I kept them safe from creepy internet preditors

What’s that saying, “Ask and you shall receive?” Well that’s exactly what I did when I saw @ TrackPackCooler on Twitter. I thought their cooler was one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen, so I asked them to send me one in exchange for a review, and they said yes, w00t! Watch this video, they are pretty sweet!

Here’s the thing! I know if you do any type of hiking, camping, picnicking, or tai...

I am the worst when it comes to taking my makeup off at night. I get so tired and lazy, and just say, forget it. Well that was me before I found Pond’s Wet Cleansing Towelettes. They are in a nice little package that I have sitting on my nightstand. They have an exclusive cleansing system, with oil- and dirt-trapping fibers, that works like a magnet to remove up to 40 percent more make-up than ...

Since I live in Las Vegas I know it’s hard to believe that I have never been to a Cirque du Soleil show. It’s not that I don’t want to go, I just haven’t made the time to go, if that makes any sense. I’ve seen tons of their videos and stuff on the television though, and they look absolutely amazing! I really need to make an effort to go one day, and if Banana Shpeel ever comes to Las Vegas, I ...

One of the highlights of my trip to the General Mills Table Talk event was having the opportunity to cook in the Betty Crocker Kitchen. We were divided into 6 groups with each group making a different recipe. This is the group that made the Double-Layer Tacos. They were so yummy, and the girls said they were really quick and easy to make.

I’ve got another great giveaway for you guys from the Souplantation & Sweet Tomatoes restaurants. Here in Nevada, we have Sweet Tomatoes and it’s a really good place to get all-you-care-to-eat/fixed-price fresh soups and salads, and of course the bread (my favorite part)! I took my mom there last time she was in town and she enjoyed it. When I lived in Southern California we ate at Souplantation all the time when the boys were little. At the time they didn’t charge the little guys, so I just fed them off my plate.

Souplantation & Sweet Tomatoes gave me 8 dinner passes, 2 in which I am keeping for myself (a gift for hosting this giveaway), and 6 that I am giving away here on my blog. They come in pairs, so there will be 3 winners for this giveaway! But first check out these two big events coming up from Souplantation & Sweet Tomatoes restaurants.
