Everyone's heard of Burt's Bees lip balm, but using their original product, I got a strange response from an ex boyfriend of mine. He insisted his lips were burning after kissing me shortly after I used the lip balm. I had always enjoyed the tingling that the lip balm had given my lips, but my ex didn't. After running out the other day, I went to the store to see what I could find for a new (at least to me) Burt's Bees product.
I picked up a tube of Honey lip balm, it looked interesting enough. After I got home, I put some on my lips. No tingles. However, it has a pleasant honey smell, and I enjoy that a lot. My current boyfriend hasn't said anything bad about this new lip balm. I also find that it hydrates my lips better... Perhaps the honey helps hold in moisture?

All in all, this was a worthwhile purchase. I enjoy it. Perhaps you'll check it out, too, the next time you're searching for a nice, hydrating lip balm.

Jean Philippe Paris Perfume Review
Is there anyone out there who enjoys the Britney Spears perfume line? I know I do, but with as expensive as it is, I find it difficult to be able to afford even the little bottles.
After smelling the samples of Britney Spears perfumes at a department store with my younger cousin, and falling absolutely in love with Britney Spears' "Fantasy" perfume, I had a hard time pulling us away from the perfume section without allowing us to buy any. The little .13 oz bottles cost over $13... That price just isn't worth buying.
When we left the store (perfumeless), I discovered that my cousin had never been to the Dollar Tree stores. I told her that since is was in the same parking lot as where we just were, that we could go check it out. She just couldn't believe that everything there cost just one dollar! (And that's great for those of us who are short on cash... I know firsthand, I'm a college student.)
In the soap aisle, Caity and I discovered generic brand perfumes. After searching a little while through the unsorted selection, we found the Jean Philippe Paris version of "Fantasy" by Britney Spears. It was a 2.5 oz bottle, and cost us just $1. Not to mention that it even smelled just like the stuff that we had just sampled at the other store.
I stocked up and bought 2 bottles of this perfume. I wear it every day since then (it's been about 2 months) and haven't even begun to put a dent into the first bottle.

With all things said and done, even if you don't wear Britney Spears perfume, or even wear cologne (men!), check out the perfume/cologne line by Jean Philippe Paris at your local Dollar Tree, or even at this website: http://www.abeautifulsecret.com/jean-philippe-paris-m-32.html. It's worth the price, and you'll smell just like you're wearing the $35 version.

Rhinelander Potato Chip Review
In the grocery store, while on a very low budget and a severe craving for potato chips, I went down the snack aisle to see what was the cheapest.
First, I checked the generic brand of potato chips... Those were nearly as expensive as the $3.99 bags of Lays potato chips! I continued my search, just looking at prices. I decided I'd only buy chips if I could find them for less than $3.
About to give up my search and go home with an unsatisfied craving, I saw a $2.79 price tag on the bottom shelf of the potato chip section. I bent down, and saw a box of Rhinelander Ripple Chips (a twin pack), 11 oz. That's more potato chips than in a bag of lays, for just over half the price.
I thought I'd try them, seeing the name Rhinelander and knowing that's a city near where I grow up. Turns out that I enjoy them much better than Wavy Lays or even Ruffles potato chips!

All in all, this was a great find while at the store, and is definitely a worth-while purchase. Next time you're in the stores craving something crunchy, definitely check out Rhinelander Ripple Chips. I can guarantee you'll enjoy them.
