Reviews by angora

These reviews are presented not just in the interests of sharing information, but also so that I remember where to find the good stuff and won't keep repeating the same mistakes. =:3

Stuff:

Harvard Planner Excellent planners with some unique features still not found in any other planner/organizers. Save yourself 10 days a year! See a full review here.
Absolutely Wonderful Mouse This is the Connectland Retractable Mini Optical Mouse (S-MS-051-SILV) -- It is a perfect size for using with a notebook computer, and the positioning of the buttons is very intuitive. Much better than most mice on the market today. The same mouse at Connectland and a similar mouse (S-MS-051-NOIR) -- (these products seem to be in French only, but most of the website is also in English).
Luxury Pools MMMMMMmmmmmmmm...... Don't miss David Tisherman, Questar Pools, and San Diego Pools.

Beverages:

Guess my current favourite grape, win a prize!
House of Tea angora's recommended flavour of the month: Sencha Wild Grey. Also recommended are the Japanese Cherry, Fomosa Lemon and the Earl Grey decaf. What's with the green tea? It tastes good! Also, do your own research on its health benefits -- there are many (here's a starter).
One-Cup-Filters to brew your coffee or loose leaf tea Good Idea for filtering out the bad cholesterol in the oils that make French press coffee taste better.
Unibroue Brewery with wonderful, award-winning, beers located in Quebec. "Fin du Monde", "Maudite", etc. Beautiful labels too! Check out the reviews on epinions.com!
Absinth Illegal in the US, sells for $$$ in Canada (due to high liquor content -- 70% alcohol/vol)
Tequila

Cosmetics & Drugstore:

Deep Cold - pain relief recommended by the chiropractic association
Blue Lagoon IS Spa-licious! You can order their products online!

MMMMMMMmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmm!!
List of fabulous products and/or colours that are no longer being made or not readily available [sniffle]:
- Borghese's Aurora Lipstick
- L'Oreal's Sea Violette Nailpolish -- Rimmel's Zenith is close in shade, but unfortunately the quality of the polish is not as good as L'Oreal
- Coco Pink Lipstick -- UPDATE This shade is currently available, but from Chanel US only.
