When I buy something online, I always head to RetailMeNot and Google “<website> promo code” and try every coupon to see which one leaves me with the best discount (or hopefully, stacks with other ones for discounts). This takes a while, but often pays off.  A few minutes of time for …

Yes… you heard me right.  They have no sinks for their toilets. Normally, I complain about government regulation, but when I heard that the FAA had to tell Horizon to add sinks to their airplanes or stop letting their employees handle food items, I near spit out my wine. Horizon Airlines is a …

A picture has been making the internet rounds.  It’s of a group of students playing on their cell phones instead of looking at a Rembrandt painting. I’ll pause long enough for the outrage to set in. This photo really made the rounds.  People were upset and were asking what’s wrong …

I ordered four different Amazon Sample Boxes to check them out.  I’ve received three so far (one is lost in the mail).  I previously reviewed the flavored syrup box. I just got the Beauty Box.  Before I go into a review of the box itself, here is something I found very …

Barkbox Reviews Since I’ve been so into subscription boxes myself, I decided to subscribe to Barkbox for my new puppy.  As I get boxes in, I’ll be reviewing the service (with Moxie’s help!) My overall impression is that Barkbox is great because Moxie loves it, but I probably wouldn’t subscribe …

Amazon has some great deals on fantastic games. Skyrim is available on PC and PS3 for $5. I hated Skyrim when it first came out because it was so buggy. It took me years to pick it up again, and I regretted waiting so long.  I played it for a …
