Although the Pink line does offer clothing and lingerie …

The Loft is one of those stores I heard about, but never wanted to go in because it just wasn’t my style. Granted, I heard great reviews about the store, but if a store doesn’t fit your style then it just doesn’t fit your style.

When I first walked into the …

Victoria’s Secret is just that–Victoria’s Secret. The brand is the leader of lingerie sales in the U.S., and probably around the world.

The Simply Unforgettable Party Shop was one …

Dollar Tree has been a store that has been around as long as I remember. I would shop there occasionally for things here and there, but not enough to where I would consider myself a frequent shopper. It wasn’t until recently where I have needed more office and school supplies …

If I go to visit a foreign country, I will certainly buy some souvenirs to bring home. I prefer durable goods such as wall decorations, t-shirts, accessories, a good pen and key rings instead of food. When I had a chance to visit Taipei to join an international conference, …

I’ve been going to this Publix for quite some time, and I have very mixed feelings about it. Although the store is very clean, offers great sales and coupons in addition to having overall friendly service, the food quality and selection is not very good.
The first problem I have …

I go to craft stores all the time and this one by far is my absolute favorite. The staff there is very friendly and helpful and they have such a wide selection of products. I don’t do a lot with fabrics but anyone who lives in the …
