Franco Sarto Women's Bocca Loafer

I am really pleased with this loafer. Very nice leather and the price was excellent. I was very pleased that a “wide” width was offered. I will now search for any Franco Sarto shoe, whether it be a loafer, heel, etc. Nice quality and reasonable price.

Rocket Dog Women’s Kit Sneaker

Rocket Dog Women's Kit Sneaker

I’ve always really liked Rocket Dog shoes. They are usually reasonably priced with a playful look and a really cool name! I have several pair and wear them all of the time. Why not 5 stars? Simply because, they don’t have the best (or any) arch support, although they are comfy. Buying them online can also be tricky. Sometimes you can’t see the detail on the shoe with an online photograph. Other than that, I’d say get a pair!

Giro Transfer Sport Bike Helmet

Giro Transfer Sport Bike Helmet

great helmet for an excellent price

I was pleasantly surprised with this helmet considering it was $30.00. Its lightweight, breathes well and fits like a glove (love the head harness system). I initially purchased it because I am a female with a small build (and a small head) and the reviews stated that the helmet ran a bit on the smaller side. Its really lightweight, could be a pro or a con. That being said it seems durable, although hopefully I will never have a real test of that.

Pro:
*Cost
*Good Air flow
*Fits well
* Looks cool

Cons:
* Could use a sun shade
* adjustment knob is a little hard to turn, but you shouldn’t have to adjust it that ofter.

Bottom line - I highly recommend it!

Giro Indicator Sport Bike Helmet

Giro Indicator Sport Bike Helmet

Nice helmet at a nice price.
After buying my first road bike I realized I needed a helmet. My budget was $50 or less (at my wife’s urging), and after looking at numerous models on line, I decided on the Indicator based on all of the positive reviews. I have to say I have not been disappointed. It fits well, feels comfortable and is very light. I think all bike helmets look dorky when worn but this one is not bad and I actually forget I have it on once I hit the road. The bottom line is it protects my head and for the price paid I feel I got a great deal. If you want a decent helmet that won’t break the bank, give this one a try.

Remington WDF-7000 Smooth & Silky Rechargeable Womens Foil Cleaning System

Tag: Electronicsadmin @ 7:49 am
Remington WDF-7000 Smooth & Silky Rechargeable Womens Foil Cleaning System I have had mine for a little over 2 years and it has never failed to amaze me on the closeness of the shave. I have extremely sensitive skin
and have never experienced pain or pulling of the hairs. Being fair complected i am prone to razor bumps from conventional razors and since using this I not only get a “smooth and silky” shave but razor bumps are a thing of the past. I am disappointed than the super store by me has discontinued the replacement blades from their stock but was happy to see it here at amazon. The cleaning mose is great just hit a button and go. If the noise “more like humming” bothers you just fininh your business in the room and hit the button on your way out. Personally I dont find it bothersome at all when you consider the thing cleans itself. What more could one ask for in a razor. It deserves 5 stars all the way!!

Hasbro Tonka Wheel Driver Scoot ‘n Scoop 3-in-1 Ride-On

Tag: Toysadmin @ 8:50 am

I’m all about toys that will last longer than a month. This tonka truck is a big hit with my son. We got it for him when he was 9 mo old and it was worth the money! At first he liked just standing and moving the objects like the key/blinker/horn for the noise. Now he loves practicing to walk with it. Eventually he will be able to ride on it too!

My only annoyance is that when the key is turned you have to wait awhile for the engine noise to stop. You can’t just turn the key back to make it stop. It also seems a little loud and there’s no volume control. I think it bothers me more than him.
Overall, he’s having fun with this toy!

FitFlop Navajo in Tan Suede

FitFlop Navajo in Tan Suede

I was disappointed by how they looked upon actual inspection — they look so big in relation to your foot size (even if they fit your foot perfectly) and the colors aren’t as pretty as pictured. But they’re not ugly.

What primarily attracted me to these FitFlops is the promise of the workout. It’s supposed to trim your legs, increase *gluteal* muscle response, improve your balance and posture, burn calories… Not sure about all those claims, but I guarantee it will make your calves sore if you use them the entire day the first time you try them. Wear them “progressively” they warn, because your muscles need to get used to the new way they are being exercised while you walk.

They are comfortable for casual use — the soles are thick and the material has the right balance of softness / firmness. I wouldn’t recommend them as a fashion item, but they’re definitely an improvement over rubber flip-flops.

Men's Sperry Top-Sider Santa Cruz Thong

I first purchased this flip-flop almost 5 years ago because Charleston tends to flood and transversing downtown can be a bit of a hazard with rivers in the streets and slippery sidewalks. I needed a high-quality shoe that would give me traction and could get wet. These flip-flops certainly did that!

After 5 years of rough wear and tear, my old pair finally gave up the ghost, and so I purchased a new pair.

Strong, high-quality, extremely comfortable and stylish!

Allen Deluxe 4-Bike Trunk Mount Rack

Tag: Sports & Outdoorsadmin @ 1:29 pm
Allen Deluxe 4-Bike Trunk Mount Rack I purchased this in June 2008 to carry 4 mountain bikes, mainly for use on the back of my 4Runner while towing a tent trailer to some mountain camping areas. I went this route rather than purchasing a roof mounted bike rack on the car or trailer for a couple reasons. First, the roof mounted racks were too high for my wife to get the bikes on / off, and we wanted the versatility of using the racks with or without the trailer.

The setup was very straightforward. Just unfolded the unit out of the box, and attached it to the rear of the car with the two top straps. Then adjusted to the correct height, and attached and adjusted the other straps. The unit is heavy, a good thing as it is also very strong and seems to easily deal with the weight of 4 bikes. We fit the 4 bikes with no issues, and used it to go camping a couple weeks ago. We went over 200 miles, sometimes over rough terrain and bumps, and the rack performed fine throughout.
