About Javelina

November 23, 2004, Puerto Aventuras, Mexico.
My review of Aventura Spa Palace - such an awesome place!

Galapagos Islands - my favorite destination.


About me...

I got married in November 2004. My husband and I tied the knot at Aventura Spa Palace on the Mayan Riviera, Mexico. It was such a wonderful experience and I recommend destination weddings to anyone! We couldn't resist and went back to Mexico in the summer of 2006, and did a huge road trip.

We spent our one-year wedding anniversary in the Galapagos Islands and Ecuador. It was an amazing trip and one of many to come!

I had a baby girl in March 2007, and my second baby in October 2009. Motherhood has been amazing, challenging, and wonderful! I am enjoying reviewing everything from baby products to the tools we use to renovate our house to all the cooking supplies we use.

I absolutely LOVE to travel. Some of my destinations include: every state in the Northeast, Canada, Arizona, Mexico, Virgin Islands, Ecaudor, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick. I was raised on Long Island, but from school to work, I've lived in NY, AZ, VT, PA, and NH.

I have a Master's Degree in Park & Resource Management with a concentration in Environmental Education. I love animals and used to horseback ride (hunter/jumper) frequently. We are in the process of looking for our first house.

Some of my other favorite things: sushi, mysteries, vegetarianism, surfing the web, tropical places, traveling/road trips, green tea, photography, spontaneity, reading, saving the environment, knitting scarves, pomegranates, guinea pigs, snowshoeing, pasta, tennis, cous cous, writing, cooking...

About my reviews...

I have been a member of Epinions for several years now. Most of my reviews fall in Beauty and Home & Garden, but I also tend to write across the categories, especially including Pets, Outdoor Gear, Hotels & Travel, and Books.

To avoid issues with reviews being too long, I use two main writing styles. The first is to break up my review into pieces, for example, "Specs", "Cleanup", "Assembly", etc. so that a reader can pick and choose if they so desire. I also bold lots of words so that they stand out. Hence, my review is long, but readers can pick and choose. I know consumers don't always want to read a really long review.

If I remove you from my WOT after being inactive and returning to the site, please e-mail me - I'll happily add you back!
