« Previous Entries Friday, August 29th, 2008Fast food breakfast: convenient & time saving or not?
Every morning I drive by a local Dunkin Donut (it’s next to the gym) and am always dumbfounded how long the drive thru line is at 8:45 a.m.

Gas purchase capped at $75!
What gives?
Storm preparation people always tell you to make sure your cars have gas and you have gas for generators, etc.
I just got back from the gas station and they maxed me at $75 worth of gas. I had one car to still put gas in and 3 more gas cans to fill for […]
School shopping vs storm preparation shopping
They’re both horrendous acts that nobody should have to do, much less on the same day!
It’s bad enough to have to go to the mall with the masses of people who it seems many aren’t partial to bathing before they go out in public but then to dodge the fake smiling women attempting to spray […]
Affordable Mineral Makeup™ is cruelty free & on Peta’s approved list
Affordable Mineral Makeup™ is approved by PETA as a cruelty free company.
We’d have been on the vegan listing as well except our mineral mascara and organic mineral tinted lip balms have beeswax.
We strongly stand against any form of animal testing and find it a pointless painful procedure. Animals compositions are different than ours, so even […]
