Sarah N.'s Profile

I love everydayminerals - inexpensive makeup and high quality. The samples are a great way to find your best matching color (for the price of shipping), and are enough for maybe two weeks of use. Shipping is fast and I have no complaints about the service. The prices have gone up in the last year, but I still think that this is a great place to get mineral makeup from, much cheaper than bare escentuals.

This is a great website to buy ebooks. You can read your ebook almost instantly after you buy it, and Kobobooks gives you a choice between three formats - mobile, web, and epub which is very convenient. I read an entire book in only web format and the experience was fine - probably slower than using an ebook reader or Adobe Digital Editions (etc.), but I haven't found an epub reader that works on Ubuntu/Linux yet, so the web version worked great for me.

Nice website that had a book I wanted (in epub) that neither Amazon.com nor B&N had, and you can use Paypal to pay if you want. However, I had to wait almost half an hour to access the book, which I find inadequate when I can read my ebooks almost instantly when purchasing from B&N, Amazon, and kobobooks. Just go for those three instead of booksamillion.com.

I purchased a dress on eBay originally purchased at causewaymall. I do think the dress is super cute, but now that I've read the reviews here and looked at the original pictures, I see that there were two sets of pictures of sorts, one with a model in the dress, and another with the actual dress being sold. The second dress *might* be different from the first...I'm not really sure, but it's a possibility. So, I'm happy with that purchase, but now I'm not sure about buying clothes made by causeway, hmm.

Here's the link to the dress I bought:

This website's goal is to digitize 10,000 children's books from around the world. They are about halfway through so far, and results show already - books in 35 languages and from 40 countries, available in full color on this website. The books are a pleasure to read too - the scans are high quality, and you can click on sections of text that have already been "boxed" by the website in order to look at the text more clearly. The organization is also working on an iPad app which I would imagine would be amazing for anyone lucky enough to own an iPad. ;)

In addition, one feature I really like is the reviews written by other children around the world. These are pretty amusing to read and super cute as well...I imagine the reviews are enlightening for parents looking for good reads (from a kid's perspective), and a great way to get kids engaged and thinking after they finish reading the books.

So in summary, A++++. This site is a boon to parents of young children, whether they are looking to teach their children a foreign language, expose them to other cultures (there are many bilingual books), or just read books in general without having to buy them or go to the library. Learners of foreign languages will also appreciate this website very much. I hope ICDL continues the great work!

The idea for this website, which is supposed to accompany the book "Wellbeing: The Five Essential Elements" sound really cool, but in the end doesn't live up to the hype. Yes there are some interesting ideas from the book that aren't obvious and yet totally make sense (for example, most people should have at least 5 hours of social interaction a day...or was it 6?), but you don't need this website to evaluate your life, or whatever. Just get the book from your local library if you're curious.

If you're a fan of the restaurant Maggiano's Little Italy, I would highly recommend subscribing to the e-mail list. I've got tons of great offers from signing up - $10 off meals (I used this one on a ~$20 meal for two, which is awesome!), free desserts, more discounts on my birthday, and more.

This website is designed to be used with the Steam platform. I think Steam is revolutionizing the way games are delivered to consumers, and a very effective way of preventing piracy, at least for multiplayer games which benefit a lot from having Steam check the user. I've gifted games to others, received gifts, and purchased my own games and the experience is smooth and quick. Downloading the games can take a while depending on the connection, but when I'm at college downloads go as fast as 1 MB/sec which is about as fast as my school's connection allows. I love purchasing games without having to deal with extra stuff to store, and Steam is the way to go for that.

I love this website! The deal is that you go through rating clothes and outfits you love or hate. The website will compare your ratings to other people who've liked similar clothes as you to help find new clothes you like. It can even match you up with "style buddies", who are other users with similar tastes. I've found so much cute clothes on here and it's great for thinking of ideas as well. The website will also send you periodic emails about new fashions, but these unfortunately aren't tailored to you, so I almost never like anything in these emails.

I've bought probiotic supplements from this website twice now, and haven't had any problems with shipping or anything. They are super fast and package their items well.

This is a great website, for amusement or for psychic advice. Always a pleasure to browse, and it's easy to get tons of free readings if you have the time to send eGreetings or whatever for karma coins, their preferred system of payment (cute system, by the way, and clever...). I've never experienced any problems with spam or advertisements from them (you can turn email offers off easily).

I agree that GoDaddy does try really hard to upsell you, but the domain registration is cheap and even cheaper with coupons you can search the internet for. Oddly enough, I haven't experienced any spam, hmm! I've registered two domains at GoDaddy and eventually dropped one.

I registered my domain here for one year, around $10. Registration was easy and connecting the domain to my host was a cinch as well. I later switched to godaddy with no problems.

I got a Lunarpages basic hosting plan for my blog in late 2007 and stayed with them for a year. My blog doesn't get big traffic or anything, but I have never experienced any problems with this web hosting service. I paid with TrialPay which went alright though I wouldn't recommend it. Now one of my friends hosts my website through another service; switching from Lunarpages was no problem at all and very smooth, so no need to fear!

Overall I love this website for all the fun horoscopes and amusement - many of the horoscopes are free and and enjoyable reading. However, I have one big complaint. I signed up a while ago and even though I keep trying to unsubscribe from their emails, they still advertise and send me emails. All e-mails from astrocenter are now sent directly to spam. There are other, just as high quality websites to turn to for your astrological needs without getting advertisements in your inbox for eternity. ;)
