The K-Cup Challenge: Celestial Seasonings SleepyTime Tea
Yeah, I know it’s been a while since we’ve rocked a K-Cup review here at Qwowi.com. And while I’m sure my excellent sponsor, Shoffee.com is probably starting to wonder if I’ve disappeared with the samples they sent, the truth is, I’ve been drinking so much SleepyTime Tea that I’ve finding it next to impossible to [...]
Simple Shoes: Eco-Comfort for Feet
This summer I was on the hunt for heels for a friend’s wedding, so I checked out my neighborhood mecca, Harry’s Shoes. The place has been around forever and, judging by the age and expertise of its employees, this is no ordinary shoe store. It’s like a high-end steakhouse, where the waiters might has well [...]
Save money, save the planet– Get a SIGG water bottle
Recently, I was at the gym taking a group fitness class. As we were all putting equipment away at the end, a woman approached me and began, “Excuse me…”

The K-Cup Challenge: Green Mountain 10% Kona (Extra Bold)
It seems like forever ago since I received a shipment of samples from my friends at Vermont’s own Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, but here I am still reviewing samples from that original batch (although they have sent some of their season stuff in between). Sufficed to say, I’m keeping busy, but it’s a labor of [...]
Shaving with the Schick Quattro Titanium Trimmer
For the past several years I’ve considered myself a Gillette guy, insomuch as I’ve shaved exclusively with Gillette razors for as long as I can remember. So although I said “sure” (I pretty much always do) when the people that handle the online marketing for Schick offered to send me one of their new Quattro [...]
