Consumer report

Jenna and I ventured out to Wal-Mart this morning. Yes, I hate Wal-Mart but I live in Arkansas now so, "When in Rome..." and all that.

I feel the need to tell you about my latest discovery. I rarely get so excited about a new product (like I did when Chocolate Lucky Charms came out.) I LOVE Wish-Bone Salad Spritzers. They are water-based instead of oil and only ONE CALORIE PER SPRAY. Seriously, this product has changed my life. I may never buy regular salad dressing again. (Except for Thousand Island, which I'm sometimes tempted to eat with a spoon.)

This is Red Wine Mist, which is my favorite so far.








I've been intrigued by the infomercials for Bare Minerals, but I refuse to shell out $60 for it. (Cheap Deana strikes again!) So I got Neutrogena's nine-dollar version instead.
I'm still deciding if I like it. One plus is that it feels like my own skin instead of the layer of oil-slick that liquid foundation feels like. But I don't know about its promise of "sheer coverage." I don't think sheer coverage is what I need. I probably need coverage the consistency of wallpaper paste that won't let anyone see evidence of the birthday I just had. Oh, well. It might be a good thing. We'll see.

And now, a consumer tip from Jenna:
"When produce isn't on Mommy's shopping list but you want some anyway, just pick up your fruit of choice and take a bite out of it. Then she has to buy it. Mommy and I came home with pears, plums and apples that she had no intention of buying -- thanks to my quick thinking!"
