Product Review: Michael Angelo’s Eggplant Cutlets

Eggplant Cutlet (Club Store)

Processed food products aren’t high on my list of grocery items to buy. I can find just as much convenience in a shrimp and snow pea stir fry as I can a frozen pasta bake. Every once in a while however, I run across something that actually catches my attention. Read more

X-Sheet Invoicing – Good starter business finance software

X-Sheet-Invoicing

X-Sheet Invoicing is a wonderful little financial management application for business developed by the folks at Development-X to show the flexibility and ease of use of their X-Sheet technology.  I use X-Sheet to manage my own consulting finances.  I’m a small enterprise and find this app takes care of everything I need easily and cleanly.

It offers invoicing and credit processing, customer management (including accommodation for notes and reminders), extensive reporting,  payments and deposit management.  When it comes time to compile data for tax reporting, I’m truly happy I use this software.  That data collection couldn’t be easier.

Oh, and this app is free.  That’s right.  It’s been free since it’s inception.  I’ve been using it for almost 10 years.  Thank you folks at Development-X!

Be Cool: A Kusmi Tea Review

BeCoolRSZD

Last night, I received a review sample of a fun product. Be Cool. The new addition to Kusmi Tea’s wellness line.

I’ve test driven their teas before and enjoyed them. This one has a fresh flavor that feels light on the tongue after tasting. While we enjoyed it hot after dinner as a relaxing decaffeinated option, I’d also like to recommend the following menu pairing:

Serve the Be Cool tea iced with a few fresh flower petals, or with some flower petals frozen in ice cubes if it’s a fancier occasion. Pair it with cucumber sandwiches and individual chocolates for a light afternoon event in the spring. This is a balcony-worthy menu great for a girlfriend get –together.

You can purchase Kusmi Tea at Amazon. I’m also particularly fond of their lemony Detox tea and their gorgeously feminine Sweet Love blend. Kusmi’s teas always put me in a travel mood, with their various French and Russian blends.

Sexy Peel: A Lush Product Review

sexypeelsoapRSZD

I recently had a chance to test drive the sexy peel variety of Lush brand soaps. A little spendy compared to the price I normally like to pay, but definitely a quality soap. Interested in what I thought about it? Read on.

Well, like I said this isn’t exactly the most economical soap on the market. That being said, I found it to provide a serious nose tingling citrus blast in the shower with a fresh scent and a reasonable amount of bubbles. It lasted a decent amount of time as well, so if you are looking to indulge in a luxury soap or splurge on one for a gift this soap should not be a disappointment.

Doable for every day? Not on my budget. Worth the splurge when you feel like a little luxury? I think so. I’m also a fan of their solid shampoos and conditioners. Have you had a chance to try sexy peel soap or any other Lush products? What was your take?
