These are some of the most comfortable boots that I have ever worn! They're definitely more comfortable than UGGs, and less expensive, too-- while UGGs seem to range from $90-$120, these were only about $100! They fit perfectly, and I like them so much that I want to get another pair! Mine are grey, but I'd really like the brown ones, too. :)

14" Zippered Laptop Sleeve Case Black & White From DreamBargains
Price: $10.95
How I Rate It: Five out of Five Stars
Where I Bought It: Amazon.com
I bought this for my Toshiba Satellite 14," and it's great. It did smell a little funny at first, as neoprene does, but that wore off quickly. It leaves about a quarter of an inch of extra room, which is just enough to keep my power cord inside if I want to. Usually I just use it to carry my laptop to and from school, and it's the reason why it's still in such amazing condition, even after I take it to school every single day.

This is a wonderful tablet. I got it nearly three years ago as a birthday present, and it's still in awesome condition. I have upgraded operating systems since then, and it was a smooth transition.
The 9 x 12 tablet is a great size; it's close to the same size as a standard sheet of paper, and this made the transition from drawing on paper to drawing on the tablet, easy.
It came with extra pen nibs, and the pen does not use batteries, unlike many other tablets. No charging is necessary, which is an added bonus in my opinion. It also came with a mouse to be used on the tablet, and the programs Photoshop Elements 4 and 5, and Painter Essentials 2 and 3.
Overall, it's an awesome tablet that is very sensitive to pen pressure. Five stars.

I ordered this book last year, and I love it! I use it when I need references for anatomy. There are tons of visual references, and not too much explaining. It also includes information on caricature, and shows how to draw animals in motion. Well worth the price!
Someone also once asked me if I would recommend this book to beginners. I personally didn't have much of a use for it as a beginner (later on, I used it tons), but if you really have a knack for these things, I don't see why you wouldn't buy it for a beginner. It definitely wouldn't hurt you.

Conair CD87WCS Instant Heat Curling Iron, 1 Inch
Price: $9.99 US Dollars
How I rate this: Three out of Five Stars
Where I bought it: Sears
Comments:
As the many people who have used this curler before have said, this curler does heat up quickly. It has over 20 different heat settings, and a button that allows you to add extra heat to style with. Usually when I use this, I have to turn it up to the highest setting in order to get it to work.
What I don't like about this curler is that I have to use a ton of hairspray to make the curls stay in. I've definitely seen better curlers out there- in one particular case, a lady had curled my hair and added no products afterwords, and the curls stayed in all day.
Definitely good overall for a pretty cheap curler, however. I bought this at Macy's and it's fine for the money I spent on it, but remember: in general, what you pay for, is what you get. If you can't afford a really expensive curler, however, this is perfect for everyday use.
