I share an apartment with a roomate, and sometimes we have to deal with a bug problem. Not just a bug problem, but roaches. We keep our apartment clean, but with an apartment I guess that doesn’t matter, if your neighbors don’t keep theirs clean.

The slogan of Green Forest Unscented Bathroom Tissue is “Soft on Nature, Soft on You” which they’ve registered as a trademark. It’s a good thing they did, as this toilet paper delivers that claim and then some. It is an incredibly soft toilet paper. So soft, that when …

When I cant drive yet, I have very limited options for my husband’s birthday gift. The easiest place that is accessible by walking sells power tools. So knowing that power tools are greatly associated with men as house ware and kitchen gadgets are with women, I had no doubts …

Price
This is by no means a cheap blender. If you want a cheap blender, go get a Kitchen-Aid, but if you want a high performance, industrial-grade blender, you can definitely take a look at a Vitamix blender. I remember we bought this around 5 to 7 years …

Svelto is a product that I use for ages. My mother was buying it when I was small and Svelto for me became a synonim for dishwashing liquids. So when I talk about dishwashing liquids I never actually say dishawashing liquids but I say Svelto. In my opinion Svelto …

When I …

I had the old toilet bowl in my apartment replaced with a Glacier Bay model #TG-4200-WL in October 2009, and I was so happy this was done. This model is just amazing. For one, it flushes fast and in a quiet, efficient way.
The old American Standard toilet …
