UShip

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting! Whenever as a family you decide to make a major and/or expensive purchase this can be a big strain on your budget, but it often involves looking on the internet as your first port of call even if it is just to gauge the kind of prices you can expect to find.

Rave 18 + IMAX at The Promenade at Howar...

Last week, we were invited to visit the completely remodeled Rave 18 + IMAX at The Promenade in the Howard Hughes Center. This is my first time at this location (wish I lived closer). While the pricing is exactly the same as other theaters, the experience is better. (conveniently located off the 405 fwy) For starters, the Rave Burger Bar serves tasty food along with drinks (alcohol too). This is a great idea especially with those who have teens. I can picture coming here during summer with the dh and letting the kids see the movie of their choice while we enjoy dinner....

Homemade Soap

    (batch #1 and #2) Mmm, I love wonderfully crafted soap. If you have been following me over the last few years, you know how much I do. From the local shop here in Los Angeles to LUSH, sometimes they smell too good to use. My dream bathroom would have a shelf lined with bars like bricks of gold – ha! With that fantasy in mind, I have set out to start my own home made collection. We have been getting a little crafty over here. For the longest time dh and I have talked about making a batch just for fun. I think the first conversation dates back to ’07, but...
