jimmyCASE: My Favorite New iPhone Case

Jan 24 Posted by nancyjrab Leave a Comment

I was given a jimmyCASE to facilitate this review. Although I don't post a whole lot on my blog anymore, I still regularly get pitches from PR companies wanting to send me stuff to review.  Go figure. Mostly, it's stuff I would never want:  diaper bags (my kids are teenagers), car seats (did I Continue Reading

#goEnjoy ENJOY: Personal Tech Service #Coupon #DiscountCode

Apr 29 Posted by nancyjrab 4 Comments

I love me some new technology.  I love marveling at what these new-fangled contraptions can do.  How they work.  Their simplicity.  What I don’t enjoy is having to figure out how they do what they do, and set them up myself.  Enter ENJOY, the new home tech delivery service I tried out last Continue Reading

Apr 15 Posted by nancyjrab Leave a Comment

If ever there were a blog title destined to get the WRONG kind of attention, this is it.  But I felt I needed to write this post, since the folks as Zim's were kind enough to send along a full-sized sample of their Zim's Daytime Formula Max Crack Cream to check out.

Unravel: The Gorgeous Game that just might turn this non-gamer into a gamer

Oct 14 Posted by nancyjrab 1 Comment

I am not a gamer.  I have never played Mario Kart.  I have never tried Halo.  I have never even seen Grand Theft Auto I, II,III,IV, or V. But last week, I attended the Electronic Arts (EA)  Preview of it's upcoming games, and I think I may have seen the game that will turn me into a gamer: Continue Reading

Life Lessons from Driving a Manual Transmission

Oct 16 Posted by nancyjrab 6 Comments

As a New Yorker, there are certain things I know a lot about:  where to get the best Pastrami Sandwich (Katz’s Deli), what little known museum is worth a visit (The Museum of the Moving Image), how to tell who is on their Bluetooth, and who is a crazy person, talking to themselves as they walk down Continue Reading

Gimme a Head of Hair, Long Beautiful Hair…Secret Extensions

Sep 23 Posted by nancyjrab Leave a Comment

If you get the reference in the title, then you're either a musical theater person, or of an age when long hair just seems, well, for younger people. I happen to be both. As I've inched nearer and nearer to  the half-century mark, my hair has gotten shorter and shorter. It's sort of the Continue Reading

Jul 7 Posted by nancyjrab Leave a Comment

Full Disclosure: To facilitate this review, I received the  products pictured.  As usual, all opinions expressed are my own.   Fingerprints. Gunk.

It’s a (Blogger) Dog’s Life

Aug 1 Posted by nancyjrab 4 Comments

It was quite a party.  Really it was.  I paid for it the next day, of course.  I mean, I live  a pretty simple life.  And a party like that - all that indulging.  Well, it takes something out of you. But from the moment I got into that black radio-car to be driven to the W Hotel Downtown, I knew Continue Reading
