You see them in the stores and they make you drool! If you're looking for a quick and easy chocolate snack/dessert, then these are perfect!! They come in many different flavors, and are super easy to fix!

I received one in the mail yesterday, and decided to make it as quickly as I could! The directions on the box are easy to follow. You open the cake batter (it's the clear bag,) then after you pour it into the bowl, add a little water. If you add too much, it won't come out right. Since there are many different flavors, the next step may differ. I had gotten the Molten Chocolate Cake, so if you have that, you open the icing bag (which is very yummy!) and add it to the cake batter. After it's all put together, put it in the microwave. When it's done, eat away! It comes out almost as good as a store-bought cake mix. Plus, it doesn't take hours to bake! Also, it tastes great with ice cream (although they suggest vanilla, use your own favorite!)

I have to say, these are the best mini cakes out there! The taste and texture are PERFECT! It's almost like have a party on your taste buds. If I could, I would buy a million of those just to keep on hand. It's that easy, and that good!

So, should you go out and buy 20? If you've got the money....YES!!!

A few weeks ago, my sister received 2 bottles of the 5-hour Energy drink. She would keep telling me that if I ever needed to stay awake (which often times I d0), I could have one of her bottles.

First, let met tell you that they now come in flavors such as Cherry and Orange. You can find more information by visiting: http://www.5hourenergy.com/index.asp. It seems to be a very informative website- which I love. If it wasn't informative, I would have thought something was wrong.

Now, it's time for my experience with the energy drink. Tonight, I decided to take her Orange flavor, because her significant other chose the other one earlier in the day. So, I open it up and take a big swig of it. Let me just tell you now that the orange flavor tastes like very bitter and hot apple juice. I try to take another one, but it just tasted so bad that I couldn't. I ended up giving the rest to my sister. I don't even think she liked that flavor too much! So now we know that we won't choose that flavor, unless we put in the refrigerator first... then maybe, just maybe, it'll taste better.

I must say that it does give you that energy quickly!! It will allow you to get things done quick! Right now, I feel like doing cartwheels even though I know i'll break a bone or something in the house! I mean, don't you have times when you have no energy to even get off the couch? 5-Hour Energy can help with that!


There is 1 side effect: Stomach aches! If you've never had an energy drink, this might be the reason, or the Niacin that is also in it. There is a CAUTION disclaimer on there, so before drinking it, read that and then decide if it's for you. If you believe you have an allergic reaction to the Niacin, you might want to try some vitamin water (which I love!!.)

So, the 5-Hour Energy drink receives 4 out of 5 stars. I think that's pretty good, don't ya think?

If you live in Central Texas, then you know what company i'm talking about. Grande Communcations is a cable/internet service provider, but also provides phone service. However, let's talk about their cable/internet portion.

Cable
Pros:
- They have great picture. Granted, it's nothing like high-defintion, but you won't have any problems getting a clear picture.
- Basic cable has 78 channels. If you're the kind of person that doesn't need 1000 channels, this would be good for you. It has the spanish speaking channels along with every thing else.

Cons:
- If you have 3 or more TVs in your house, it will cost you.


I have never had a problem with their cable. So Grande, it looks like you passed this test.

Now, we talk about their internet service. It doesn't look so good.

Internet
Pros:
-Looking to upgrade from dial-up? Grande will help! They have a fast internet speed which allows you to move swiftly from one website to another.
- If you call them to help with your internet connection, they give you a time frame, and if no one is home, they will call you to let you know they are either at your house, or on their way.

Cons:
- The internet will go down on you every year or so.
- They will charge you and put it on the bill, even when they switch out the modem (99.9% of the time, that's the problem)
- Some of the internet technicians that walk through the house to your computer are nice, however, some won't talk to you or even tell you the problem.

So, it looks like Grande does well on cable, but not so much on internet. If you want a stable internet provider, research online before settling with a company.

Grande, I like your cable, but your internet could use improvement! Overall, not a bad company- but not the best either.

Ok guys, you ready for more information?

The prize you will be competing for is a PC video game. In fact, it's a Kung-Fu Panda PC game.

The contest will start (or should start) at the beginning of October and will run for one week. There will be 1 winner.

That's as much information as I have right now. So keep coming back!!

I usually love anything Welch's makes, but this wasn't close to what I remember them tasting like. I received a sample in the mail today, and thought to myself "Oh good, I can have a snack later on." That snack turned into trash. I opened the package and took one of them out, then popped it into my mouth. Do you want to know why I threw it into the trash can?

• The taste was almost like chewing on rubber. It may be fat free (for those watching their waist lines), but there was nothing to help take the place of the removed fat.
• I could barely chew it. I don't know how long it took to get to my place, or if it's the normalcy, but I chewed it 10 times, and gave up. I ended up just swallowing it.
• It wasn't as juicy as I would have hoped. I was hoping that instead of tasting like rubber, it could have had some juiciness in it. It didn't at all. It was dry and unappetizing.

Manders' Reviews will soon be holding a contest.

You might be asking "When??" and "What will the prize be?" To answer your questions, I have no idea- I have yet to set up the details and the like. Just be sure to keep an eye out for it. If you'd like to keep up with it, just bookmark this blog and you'll be in-the-know!

Happy Shopping!!

The Sunsilk Daring Volume Conditioner/Shampoo is probably the best i've ever experienced! This can be found anywhere, and depending on where you buy, it can run you $3-$5. However, the price you pay is well worth it. Here's what my experience has been:

Once you put the shampoo in, your hair already starts to feel better, and lighter. It cleans it better than any other shampoo I have ever experienced out there, and it makes me feel good that I purchased Sunsilk.

After the shampoo is all washed out, you put in the conditioner. If there ever was a subject for the word "Heaven," this would be it. Automatically, you can feel the difference. Other conditioners usually make you wait until it dries to find out how it feels- not this! The feeling you get from this conditioner is nothing you'll ever feel again. This Sunsilk Daring Volume Conditioner makes you want to wash your hair every day just so you can feel it lighten, and make your hair feel better.

The Daring Volume does what it is supposed to when your hair dries. You have volume- and bounce! Believe me, you'll be turning heads, and people will think you've gone to a salon!

The conditioner/shampoo is not the only thing in the collection. Sunsilk Daring Volume also has spray-on mousse, and volumizing spray. So, if you really want to go with much more volume, get the whole collection- you'll be glad you did!!!
