Marie Claire Magazine

2009-01-06T15:29:00.002-06:00

If you haven't seen online magazines yet you really need to check them out. The technology has gotten to the point where there is very little difference between viewing a magazine on a computer screen vs. viewing a magazine in your hands. And the nice thing is they are better for the environment since they aren't printed on paper and trucked to your mailbox.

StartSampling is offering a free opportunity to get 6 issues of Marie Claire magazine to try out the digital experience. Click here to take a look and sign up...

Twinkle in your eye!

Everyone has heard the term 'Twinkle in your eye' but Cover Girl has redefined what this means for women. Cover Girl has introduced a new product called Exact Eyelights Mascara that, they say, brightens your eyes 4x. Exact Eyelights has light-reflecting metallics and a hint of tint to bring out your blues, browns, hazels and greens according to their website.

Our first thought was - this I have to see (pun intended). So we picked up a few tubes and a few of the women in the office tried it and, sure enough, the difference was striking. We have never seen eyes so bright. The next time you need to replace your mascara check out this product. It is truly revolutionary - in our eyes (couldn't resist).

Good clean fun!

It's a fact - most kids don't like to take baths and showers. They like playing in the tub but the cleaning part can be a chore. Kimberly Clark - the maker of Huggies - has come out with a line of cleaning products for kids called Huggies Cleanteam. The product line includes a Bubbly Moisturizing Bath Wash, Flushable Moist Wipes, Easy to Use Hand Soap, Disposable Cleansing Cloths, Extra Conditioning Shampoo and more.

Each of the items is associated with a fun cartoon character like Billy Buffalo on the Bath Wash, Sammy Snake on the Shampoo and Freddy Flamingo on the Flushable Moist Wipes. Each of the characters makes cleaning fun. I'm waiting for some of these companies to come out with cartoon characters on products for adults - now those I would buy! Actually it's not so crazy - in Japan, adults can be seen wearing Hello Kitty backpacks and writing with Hello Kitty pens.

Click here to find out more about Huggies Cleanteam products.

Get Steamed!

If you are like many of us you are eating out a lot less lately. Not only does it save you money but it also tends to be better for you. So the big question is - what to make! There are plenty of dishes you can make from scratch on days where you have plenty of time but on the days where you are in a rush the options go down considerably.

We found a line of frozen dinners that can be heated up in the microwave in 10 minutes that are perfect for two - Birdseye Steamfresh Meals. There are six varieties available - Asian Style Chicken Vegetable Medley, Shrimp Alfredo, Grilled Chicken in Roasted Garlic Sauce, Shrimp Pasta Primavera, Sweet and Sour Chicken and Grilled Chicken Marinara. All the meals are meant for two so if you have more mouths to feed you can make multiple bags or serve different things to certain family members which often happens in our house anyway.

Bag one of these!

If you kitchen and pantry are like mine you have plastic bags stuffed all over the place. You can never find one when you need one and when you don't need one they seem to be spilling out everywhere.

Oxo - the kitchen gadget company - has come up with a solution. A stainless-steel solution at that! Their new Good Grips Bag Holder as seen in the photo gives you a convenient place to store plastic bags and find them when you need them. Simply stuff bags in the top and pull them out the sides. There is a removable divider that you can use to keep two different sizes separated. Now that's smart!

You can hang the Oxo Bag Holder on your pantry door or store it in a drawer or on a shelf. It holds about 50 plastic bags. It's great for keeping plastic bags out of reach of children too! The cost? About $20.

Click here to find out more about the Oxo Bag Holder.

While we don't have samples available for you to try click here to have a chance to win one! StartSampling will randomly select one lucky person to win one of these bag holders. It could be you!

Tasty Little Cookies!

You have probably heard of Kashi and the good-for-you cookies they make. Did you know that they now make cookies too? Neither did we - until we found out about TLC Cookies. The TLC doesn't stand for 'tender loving care' like you might think - it stands for 'tasty little cookies'. Clever and yummy!

Kashi's TLC Cookies combine their signature Seven Whole Grain Blend with ingredients such as peanuts, raisins, sunflower seeds, dark chocolate, walnuts, cranberries, flax seeds and coconut. There are three varieties - Happy Trail Mix, Oatmeal Dark Chocolate and Oatmeal Raisin Flax. All are delicious, chewy and have a homemade taste - we've tried them all and they are very good!

You might want to hide these from the kids - they will plow through a bag in no time. Give them the Chips Ahoy cookies you have in the pantry instead!

Bite-Sized Fun!

In our opinion there can never be too many bite-sized snacks and desserts. Just pop them in your mouth and you are good to go. You can even eat them on the go if you want - like on the way home from the supermarket! Sara Lee has come out with a line of individually wrapped bite-sized desserts that come in three varieties - Brownie Bites, Carrot Cake Bites and Cheesecake Bites.

Sound good? Wait, we haven't described them yet! The Brownie Bites are triple chocolate fudge. The Carrot Cake Bites have cream cheese frosting and nuts. The Cheesecake Bites are chocolate dipped. You know what, we are going to wrap up this edition of the newsletter - you are probably grabbing your keys to head to the store anyway!

Enjoy!

With the movie 'The Dark Knight' crossing $500 at the domestic box office it is officially listed as the 2nd top grossing movie of all time (after Titanic) but when you adjust movie ticket prices for inflation the top 5 movies of all time actually are:

Gone with the Wind made about $199 million in 1939 - $1.43 billion adjusted gross - wow! Star Wars made about $461 million in 1977 - $1.26 billion adjusted gross. The Sound of Music made about $198 million in 1965 - $1.008 billion adjusted gross. E.T. - The Extra-Terrestrial made about $435 million in 1982 - $1.004 billion adjusted gross. The Ten Commandments made about $65 million in 1956 - $927 million adjusted gross.

So, The Dark Knight has a ways to go...

Roll with it!

If you have children that have just gone back to school or are about to go back you have probably been thinking about what you are going to put in their lunches or what you are going to have them eat as a snack when they get home from school. If you have ever bought Yogos for your kids you know that they are a yummy snack that they love to eat. Kelloggs has recently come out with a new snack under the Yogos brand called Yogos Rollers which are similar to Fruit by the Foot but have a strip of yogurt down the center of the roll.

Our kids have tried them and they love them! The only problem is that they are a little bit messier than Fruit by the Foot-type snacks because the yogurt stripe is soft and tends to melt in the hot little hands of young children. Other than that minor drawback (kids aren't supposed to be neat and clean all of the time, right?) Yogos Rollers is a great new option for lunches and snacks. You might even enjoy a roll yourself once and awhile!

On the Flipside!

Crackers or pretzels? What sounds good to you? If you have ever had to choose between snacks you know that sometimes you have a taste for crackers and sometimes you have a taste for pretzels. Now you can have both at once! The wonderful elves at Keebler have come out with a new snack called Town House FlipSides. They look like Town House crackers on the one side but when you flip them over they are pretzels. They come in two flavors - original and cheddar.

These are great snacks for kids too! They may be skeptical at first but once they try them they may ask for them every time.

To find out more about this product click here and then click on Town House crackers.

It's Flawless!

The tagline for Secret’s new Flawless antiperspirant is ‘Because you’re hot!’ Even though it sounds like something Paris Hilton would say it is a pretty clever tagline for an antiperspirant!

Chances are you use the same brand and type of antiperspirant year after year but this is one that you may want to check out. It’s called Flawless because it releases fragrance throughout the day whenever wetness occurs, it goes on clear so you never have to worry about white flakes, it glides on smoothly with a lightweight finish and it has skin-nurturing conditioners – the same ones found in Olay products.

Finally - an antiperspirant to get hot and bothered about!
