Genius PenSketch 9x12

When I took a graphics design course, we used this Tablet for Photoshop and the rest of the Creative Suite. It is a bit pricey, but the cheaper tablets tend to fall apart and not last as long.

I like this one. The sensitivity is fairly high, which is great for particularly fine drawings on the computer. I also like the size of the Tablet. I used a 8 by 6 Tablet before, it works well enough, but i find that sometimes I have to readjust the stylus once I reach the edge of the board. Its just a small detail I could do without.

Sanrio Hello Kitty Plush Purse / Plush Bag

I saw one of my kids at the tutoring place I work at wear one of these Hello Kitty Face backpacks. I was honestly frightened by it. Seeing a large face that is almost twice the size of the kid on her back looks weird to me. I don't want someone's face carrying all my belongings. Imagine reaching into someone's head every single time you wanted a pencil or a paper clip or a water bottle. That concept just seems so weird to me. I would not buy my kid this, its just not practical. A good jansport zip back pack will do just fine and I am sure it will last twice if not three times as long.

Altoids Wintergreen Mints 1.76 Oz Tin (Pack Of 12)

The wintergreen flavored altoids are sooooo much more enjoyable that the peppermint ones. These one are not painful, don't burn my nose, and actually taste like something I can eat. I actually welcome the curiously strong mint flavor because after drinking coffee or milk, I really want to get rid of the smell. Or else be cursed with bad breath for the rest of the day. Wintergreen is no where nar as powerful as peppermint, you can taste the flavor of these mints. I once bought these in a large, excessive pack of 12. I know its a bit greedy to buy them all at once, but I did have a good supply for almost 5 months. Well worth the minty investment.

Mentos Mints - 15 Rolls

Yay for mentos! They are nice and sweet and tasty. I love the package they come in too. It just promotes popping them consecutively into your mouth without thinking, which I did give into that urge... leaving me slightly disappointed and craving more. Once I learned to discipline my urge to devour them all in one sitting, I was able to enjoy the minty sweet candy. One day my mother surprised my sister and I with the 15 roll box. Insanity filled with mints ensued. I don't crave them any more however, my tastes go for other candies now. I have accepted it, but I will take one if I am offered one.

Altoids Peppermints

I do not like this particular flavor of altoids. I know they are suppose to be "curiously strong," but these are to the point of being painfully and unnecessarily strong. My mouth aches and my tongue feels like its burning after I try eating one these. Peppermint is already an overwhelming flavor to begin with. It does not need ti be amplified to the strength that the altoid company manufactures them to be. I want to enjoy the flavor of my mint, not feel like I am punishing my tongue for eating onions in my inn-n-out burger. I do not suggest eating these.

ShortSexyHair by Sexy Hair Products

My hair is pretty short, and in the back it is short enough to spike, only that my hair is thick. Normal hair gel did not keep it spiked in the back. My hair stylist suggested that I try this hair wax brand. Granted its about 14 dollars per 1.8 oz containter, I was willing to spend a bit more for something that potentially could work. Plus I trust that my hair stylist would not lie about this, so I bought it.

It works phenomenally. The wax kept my hair up in the cool looking spikes that I so very yearned to have.

ShortSexyHair wax smells really sweet and subtle, which I like because many male hair products and hair spray smell so strongly that its almost repulsive.

Garnier Fructis Fructis Fortifying Shampoo Sleek & Shine 13 oz

Garnier makes my hair feel pleasantly smooth. When my hair was halfway down my back, I would switch between Garnier Fructis and another shampoo to keep it healthy (now its shorter than my neck). My hair definitely needed the nutrients from the shampoo to keep it looking healthy and shiny. After my hair dried, I liked to run my fingers through my hair to feel how soft it was. For some reason that was comforting to me. Garnier kept my hair healthy and minimized the appearance of split ends. My hair was able to grow pretty long until I cut it incredibly short.

Impact Confections Sour Warheads 2oz Packs - 12 Count

Warheads hurt at first, they just sting the tongue. Then they become incredibly sweet, and the middle is filled with softer candy. I remember getting these a lot when I went trick or treating. They have green apple, black cherry, watermelon, and lemon flavored warheads (though lemon is sour enough on its own, I don't know why they have one be doubly sour).

In grade school, it was cool to eat these and see how much you can take of sour. I remember one kid put at least for or five pieces in his mouth at once. I have never seen someone's face scrunch up that much, it was hilarious. I'm sure for him it wasn't as funny or fun, but he wanted the attention and boy did he get it.

Riverside Paper Tru Rite Artists Sketch Book 9"x12"

I am perpetually in search of a cheap, quality sketch book. So far this happens to be the cheapest sketch book I could find. At target they are under seven dollars or less. The pages are thick enough to be used for many types of art. I like to watercolor, use oil pastels, and copic markers to color my drawings. Other sketch books have thin pages, and the colors bleed through to the other side. I hate when that happens because sometimes I have another drawing on the other side and it is suddenly ruined by my own carelessness and overestimation of the paper quality. This sketch book has both a good amount of paper and the thickness to withstand forms of color.

Mr. Clean Magic Eraser Cleaning Pads 4 Pads

When it comes to cleaning the sauce spots, juice spills, and refrigerator stains, a regular sponge does not cut it. I needed something to clean all the spaghetti stains on the stove. The cleaning solution with the scrubbing power of the Mr Clean Magic Eraser works wonders on my kitchen surfaces. My bathroom sink is the other place I can utilize the Magic Eraser. After a long day of cleaning, I don't feel so bad about throwing one away since I have 3 more waiting patiently in the box for me to use them.

They just work exceptionally well. I am satisfied with the results.

Nyquil Liquicaps + Dayquil Liquicaps Combo Pack 40 ct

Nyquil and Dayquil products are not so friendly to the wallet. However, they work well. I am able to function during the day when I wake up feeling head heavy and stuffy. And at night when I am coughing up a storm of mucus and other lovely things, Nyquil eases my throat, dries up my nose, and knocks me out so that my body and recover during my sleep. I have an unusually high tolerance for drowsy inducing medicines, but for some reason Nyquil puts me out 10 to 15 minutes after I take it. I am very grateful for that though, because after a long day of coughing and feeling ill all I want to do is rest.

Buying the 20 packs separately is expensive. Buying the 40 pack with both Nyquil and Dayquil works fine. When I use to buy both 20 packs, I would be left with a huge amount of Nyquil in comparison to the nearly empty box of Dayquil. The 40 pack gives you more Dayquil and less Nyquil, solving my problem of inequalities.

Oil Pastel Set with Carrying Case - PENPHN12

In all the art classes I've taken, I've experimented with virtually all the studio art techniques. Oil Pastel is a unique experience. They run smoother than crayons, draw thicker than colored pencils, and are easier to control than the paint brush. However, they get all over your hands and stain your skin.

After my class with oil pastels, I missed the thick texture and earthy smell. I spent a long time looking for a set that was affordable and known for their quality. The last thing I wanted was to purchase a set that was barely up to par with the oil pastels I had used previously. I like the feel of these ones. And they also come in a convenient carrying case. I can store my in room without worrying about where they might stain. I am having tons of fun using this oil pastel set.

Claritin-D Allergy and Congestion 24 hour Tablets

Allergies are just so annoying. I hate walking out into a nice, warm and slightly breezy day only to have my nose start itching insanely and my eyes water. To take care of my small allergies to pollen and dust, I take Claritin. My body needs that extra defense against allergies. If I get rundown and my nose starts to run and I am sniffling like crazy, more than likely I will get sick. If I can prevent a week or two of coughing, lethargy, congested nose, etc I will take precautionary steps. Claritin acts as a first defense against sickness. I want to enjoy beautiful days. No one likes the distraction of a sniffly nose or watery eyes. Claritin helps prevent that reaction.
