Unreal41 Candy Coated Chocolates

I tried the Unreal41 Candy Coated chocolates. I have no idea why they are numbered “41.” It was an interesting experience. At first bite, they seem like M&Ms. Then you realize that they have a heavier taste than M&Ms. Then you get a strange aftertaste. And you are curious, so you eat some more. They are definitely a completely different taste than M&Ms, so you may be disappointed if you think that's what you are getting. But I think I could get used to them. I like the idea that these are candy that is better for you as candy goes. They have no artificial ingredients, no hydrogenated oils, no corn syrup, and no preservatives. I received some coupons from BzzAgent to buy mine, otherwise I probably would have never realized these candies were out there.

Philips SatinPerfect Epilator

PhilipsEpilatorI've shaved, waxed, depilatorated? and now epilated my legs. I have to say that I have the hardest time getting hair off of my knees.  Depilatory creams worked best in the past, but I hated having to remember to put it on before I got in the shower and waiting the prescribed amount of time as well as the smell. Shaving always cut my knees, and waxing is too expensive. But with the Philips SatinPerfect epilator, the hair comes off easily and stays off. I found it too painful to use on my whole leg, especially since shaving works well enough and quick enough for me, but I'm glad I have it for my knees now!  They are kind of expensive (the one I received from BzzAgent was valued at $130, but they do make a $50 version), but as long as it last several years, I would think it’s worth the investment. The hair stays off for at least a week, and it works quickly in the privacy of your own home.
