Velvet curtains are the worst when they are cheap looking. The last time I saw velvet curtains at an import store advertised as chocolate brown they turned out to be a wimpy sort of light milk chocolate color. I think most of us think of saturated jewel tones when …

If you want to do some decent cooking at home, it is clear that you need good kitchen equipment to do so. I found this when I was living in various places before I bought my first house. Most had antiquated kitchen equipment and the oven and hob were …

So I was really disturbed about all of the chemicals that are regularly found in tap water and not crazy about the taste, so I went ahead and bought an American Water Distiller. It was the cheapest on the market for a distiller, costing me roughly 180 dollars, including …

I have only used this toilet bowl cleaner on a few occasions but it certainly has not worked as well as I expected. This cleaner is sold in a 24 oz bottle for around 4 dollars depending on the store. Although this cleaner is low priced I …

Vacuum cleaning can be backbreaking work. Shoving a heavy upright vacuum is akin to plowing a field. That’s practically no hyperbole to put it. I enjoy sweating a bit, save for inhaling allergy-inducing dusts. At home, the iRobot Roomba 780 takes care of this chore.
The …

Now, a $250 food sealer is NOT something I’d spend my own money on, but my brother is a chef and runs his own catering business, so when he upgraded a bunch of his equipment and supplies, I tended to get the hand-me-downs, and I’m not complaining one little …
