In our house we don’t have a dishwasher so I have to clean the dishes by hand. I usually hate washing the dishes by hand and dread doing it until I picked up and started using Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day Liquid Dish Soap in Lavender. Now my favorite thing …

I love anything that reduces the amount of energy I use in my personal life, but still works well enough so that I don’t regret the switch. None of those hand cranked flashlights for me. When I saw this solar powered nightlight at the store one day …

I had forgot all about this scent as it hasn’t been in the main Avon books for a good while, but when I ordered from the last Avon book this was in the sale book. It’s strange how quickly you can forget about a scent and especially if it …

When my husband brought home an Electric Fly Swatter, I thought he bought a new tennis rocket. I didn’t know there is such a gadget so I was wondering why he had to buy new tennis rocket again. My husband had a loud laugh when I asked him why …

This drink mixer didn’t mix much of anything. I tried five different powdered mix drinks in this mixer and it didn’t dissolve any of the mixes. It left drink mix particles and that isn’t pleasant to drink down at all! It seemed no matter how long I let this …

I have found that using fabric softener is necessary especially for my towels and wash cloths. Some of the cheap detergents that I use can leave them dry feeling and quite rough to the touch. Since I don’t like being scratched after I get out of the shower I …

I would purchase this superb window and glass cleaner more often than I do as of now if it wasn’t almost six dollars for a thirty-two ounce bottle! To me, that’s just too high of a price to pay for a window and glass cleaner. I wait for a …

It took me a long time before I could actually buy myself a decent washer machine. I wanted a washer that allowed me to load my laundry in the front. I was tired of the top loading washers and I was tired of buying my washer machines refurbished. I …

Once summer has had its time in the sun and autumn starts blowing on in, I start spending more time outdoors and leave the windows in my house open for extended periods of time. I don’t simply do this because it’s more pleasant outside, although that’s certainly a plus, …

This is by far my favorite of the Votivo scents, and I mean I love Votivo (though Voluspa is fast coming up behind it as my new fave). Black Ginger is a warm, sensuous smell that lingers for a long time with a few sprays. It makes my …

I use several products to straighten my hair each day and keep it straight. The natural texture of my hair is thick and curly, with frizz an ongoing problem. I use a blowdryer to straighten my hair, then I use either a flat iron or a curling …

This Oxo Good Grips Flexible Vegetable Brush has been serving me efficiently. At the price of Four dollars I think I was not at all shortchanged. Ever since I discovered there is vegetable brush like this, cleaning my favorite root crops like potatoes, radish, sweet potatoes, and carrots …

I know it’s gimmicky, but keeping with my try everything and review it style of living, I bought myself a Slap Chop. I found it in an online search for $19.98, the shipping was a little over five dollars and I’m kicking myself for not checking at Walgreens …

I overheard some friends at work talking about a multi-purpose household cleaner called Fabuloso. I had seen it in the stores before while I was shopping, but never tried it. One of my co-workers said she even puts some in a pot with water and lets it …

This is a really neat, stylish microwave.
I purchased it because I wanted a stainless steel microwave in my kitchen, and not too big as it was going on a worktop (dimensions are H28 x D38 x W46) I saw some alternatives, but the thing that swung it for me …

I purchased this TV stand over a month ago when I was in the market to purchase one for my new TV. I really love it and I am so glad I decided to make the purchase. I purchased it from Wal-Mart and I paid 120 dollars …

I am finding these multi-surface polish wipes, from Morrisons own brand, really useful. I love it when my flat is all clean and shiny but, due to laziness and/or lack of spare time, I do not always live up to my expectations. I would always give my …

When I was a bit younger my parents used to buy smaller gas cylinders of a different brand for our gas and electric stove. At the time they got them because they believed that getting the smaller ones were cheaper and much more convenient. However, as I grew I …

The Quinny Zapp is a fantastic little buggy that is perfect for city life. It is available in a range of colours and as my baby was a little girl I opted for the cerise pink variety.
It is extremely lightweight to the point where I could quite easily push …

Again and again, I get exasperated whenever we move from one country to another as we always end up living in different houses. The first thing I check about a “new” house is how easy or difficult it would be to clean and maintain it. I wail in desperation …

I bought Carson Stuff-It Microfiber Lens Cloth for $7.86 online. Here is my review.
These cloths are nothing too different from kitchen rags when it comes to their purpose, but they are actually longer lasting, because of the material they are made of. These towels are made of …

After two months of continuous renovation, I have learned a thing or two about cleaning house after a big flood. Because my hands were continuously immersed in water, they gradually became wrinkled and it looked like an old woman’s hands. I finally succumbed to vanity and bought gloves (old …

I purchased this Coleman Heater to use outdoors on the deck, and I would say that it more than serves it’s purpose. I wasn’t looking for a light when I purchased it, but it has a built in light as well, which I believe is an awesome addition. …

I have one child and a bunch of pets. The floor gets dirty a lot. I am always trying to find things to make cleaning the floor easier. I had seen ads for the Swiffer WetJet. I didn’t buy it for a long time due …

In support of our attempt to be more ethical we have started using Bio d washing up liquid rather than harsher high street brands. My husband was a little reluctant, he felt that a milder, less chemical filled liquid would mean lots of heavy duty scrubbing but I …

I always like my home to smell good, so after learning about the Yankee Candle range of wax tarts I decided to buy myself some - and obviously I needed a burner to make use of them. I chose the Petal burner simply because it was the cheapest …

With today’s economy, it is often wise to buy in bulk. But, there are things which do not keep well when the package is opened already. This is true of nuts, raisins, coffee, sugar, spices and so many other stuff. Unless I am hosting a big party, then opening …

We purchased a box of Kingcraft Self Adhesive Floor Tiles as a quick fix for our bathroom. Our bathroom tiles were very old and disgusting looking and we wanted to patch the floor without spending a lot of money. We decided to purchase the self adhesive floor tiles …

Following diets is not easy so I decided to get this electronic scale to see if any progress at all has been made. I had a scale before which worked by adjusting it manually. That was really an inconvenience as I would need to bend or get on …

I guess Vicks VapoRub is being used worldwide. But I can only speak from my experience. Since I was a child Vicks is something we almost are never out of stock of. When we were bit my mosquitoes or ants, we would put Vicks on the surrounding area of …

My mother used pressure cooker at initial stage but once it blasted. Hence I bought this rice cooker before one month. Since its weighs around 3 kg, it is quite portable and also can be easily lifted by elder people. It is easy to use and it has a …
