Becoming Coco

       Hello Fresh is a meal/cooking delivery kit that I was excited to try. It's one of those boxes where they send you pre-portioned ingredients, with recipe cards and you cook it yourself. I love these types of boxes because they are fun, help you learn cooking skills, let you try new recipes and usually taste amazing!      So why the love/hate relationship? Well, first let me say  this review though stated strongly will be my honest review including what is good, bad and ugly about this service. I actually have a lot of good things to say, which I think is why I sometimes feel like I hate them because some of their tactics and methods just have so much room for improvement that it makes it hard to continue a regularly monthly membership. They are more like a fling you try again every three months.       I have tried 3 separate subscription with them because over the years as I move houses they keep sending me discounts in t...

The following article does not condone piracy, but just for fun. The following article actually isn't about piracy, but it does come into play. Read on to see why we are really here.  A friend of mine shared an article with me recently that I was drawn to because it made some shocking claims about Legacy Direct, a company I invested in. The company sells media players which are basically devices for your TV similar to Roku or Apple TV which turn your TV into a smart TV and allow you to access multiple apps and tv/movie streaming. Some streaming is paid for like Netflix and Hulu, while other streaming is free by connecting users to online content from various hosting sites. Basically it allows you to get all your shows and movies on one source without having to download things (legally or illegally) on a computer then transfer to your tv or separately log in to your many tv streaming sites. Everything is streamlined to one place.  There is a danger ...

Today I got a phone call from a mysterious San Diego number. I thought maybe it was a job response since I live here locally, but the number was not a person from San Diego at all, but rather part of an infamous scam going on: "Free Cruises". Most people would hang up as soon as they heard the robot voice, great option, but some people like me may stay on. I have received many legitimate free vacations in the past, however once I got to the "end" of this call I was sure it was not legitimate, or at least not worth the risk. Read on so you can be informed and warn your friends and family. I received a phone call from a woman voiced robot at 1 (619) 273-5937 San Diego Area. She was a robot, not just recording, because she would ask a question and respond to your answers. She said that Holiday Cruise (the company name) is giving away their unused cabins in hopes of getting positive word of mouth advertising. I simply had to state that I was over 18 and had ...

I found True & Co from an ad on Facebook and it really was a neat little find. It's a bra and Lingere site that is designed to make bra shopping more custom tailored and successful. I really liked the concept, but it's customer service is lacking in ways that force me to give this service a 2 out of 5. The good: It's super convenient and innovative! You simply take a quiz about all your bra struggles and desires and they automatically pair you with bras designed to fit your needs.  For example if you have trouble with bra overhang or overly right straps, they look for bras that solve those specific issues. They even suggest different sizes for each bra based on the fit of that particular bra. You may be a 34 B in Calvin Klein, but a 32 C in Night Out, and they give you those suggestions.  Having a way to customize your bra search to your needs is very comforting. (Classy box it all comes in) It's also really convenient because you don't have to go to the stor...
