For a long time now, I have been thinking about buying a certain type of cooking utensil to make chopping up vegetables more simple. I have long suffered the effects of onions as they relinquish their solid state for something easier to eat and to compliment any number of …

I love my Black and Decker Smart Brew Coffee Maker. I have had this coffee maker for over two years and have not had a single problem with it. It is a twelve cup capacity coffee maker and I like how it looks on my kitchen counter. …

The Portmeirion brand encompasses (mainly) attractive and traditional tableware; made in Wales in the United Kingdom, I have many of their products so was happy to add this Apple Harvest Wall Clock to my collection. I paid $55 for it from Amazon and have been absolutely 100% happy with …

I was at a mall hours away from home when I first spotted this coffee mug. If you know anything about me, you know I love coffee. I also really like cool coffee mugs. I really like dogs, too. I have four of them! …

I have tried every detergent for my clothes under the sun. I stopped using bleach. I quit adding dryer sheets. I even stopped using fabric softener. And sometimes my collar area would still break out when touched by a freshly laundered shirt. I knew …

Sometimes my water has a little chlorine taste, stronger at times than others. And I really don’t think this is very healthy to drink water with chlorine constantly, so I like to filter my cooking and drinking water. And I have found Brita to be one of the best filtering …

Our kettle was getting old. It still worked, but the limescale was growing limescale, and the thought of drinking water from there was just getting too disgusting. Rather than using limescale remover (in other words putting chemicals in our kettle, which is equally disgusting in my opinion!) …

After eight years of living in a dinky mobile home that didn’t have anything fancy in the way of appliances, I was ecstatic to finally get into our new condo which came equipped with its very own dishwasher. Or rather, I should say that my
KIDS were ecstatic, because this …

I have a penchant for purchasing products just to see if they work. I don’t really have the need to buy these products other than to test them to see for myself if the commercials and claims are as they say they are. That is why I purchased Whink …

I bought the Honeywell Turbo Force fan, model HT-8700 over a year ago and I’ve been using it ever since. It’s the best fan in the world to me, and it only cost Canadian $50 plus tax.
I have been so used to using fans around me, especially …

Winter gets cold up here and a source of supplemental heat is needed. I have burnt out many cheap resistance wire type heaters and finally bought a Noma oil-filled rad. This little puppy gives off far more heat that the fan forced ones, without the noise. Granted, you have …

I really like shopping at discount outlets. I went to Sam’s at the end of summer last year because you can get great prices on off season products. We purchased a Coleman Roadtrip Pro propane gas grill. Since we go camping a lot we wanted something …

I was a little hesitant to try this cleaner since it involves using a wet solution to clean off the optical surfaces of DVDs and CDs as opposed to a dry cloth, but since it was sold by Scotch, a company that I trust fairly well, that helped to …

We had a particularly heavy rain one night and it made me curious to find out how much rain we actually had at our home. I didn’t have any way to gauge it so I decided to buy a rain gauge. I found a decorative gauge at Walmart and …

I’ve never been a big do-it-yourself type guy. In fact, when it comes to assembling things, my wife is 100 times better than I am. But, now that I’m a homeowner and have a limited budget, hiring someone to do minor home repairs for me just isn’t practical.
On my …

I needed a medicine cabinet for the half bathroom but didn’t want to spend a lot of money on one. I found the American Classics Medicine Cabinet at Home Depot for $29.97. That was an excellent price and I couldn’t pass it up. The truth is, it isn’t a …

Down with teflon pans, I say. Well all except for T Fall. About five years ago, I worked in a department store for the Christmas Season, October through December. I took advantage of the opportunity to also collect up on cookware items, catching the sales and …

Germs and bacteria are the main cause of disease spreading and so It’s very important to disinfect the house regularly with a strong disinfectant. Just brooming the house and keeping it clean doesn’t mean you house is germ free, germs are so minute that naked human eyes can’t feel …

I picked this up because I was having trouble with reinserting my wine corks. I never had this problem years ago. However, some of the wines I buy now have some kind of synthetic material instead of a real cork. For whatever reason I have a harder time …

This is probably my favorite product in the history of products. I am not kidding. I have not ironed since it was invented. It is the easiest thing to use—”hang an item of clothing (or a curtain!), spray thoroughly, and tug. Repeat until the wrinkles …

Whenever I need paper plates, I always go to Walgreens. Walgreens gives me a reasonable price of dollar seventy-nine on seventy-two paper plates. The nine inch paper plates are large enough to hold a couple pieces of pizza or a hamburger and some fries or a couple of waffles …

Being a big fan of the Food TV Network, a few years back I got interested in cooking my holiday turkeys with a Turkey Fryer as I’d seen several of the celebrity chefs do on the Food TV channel. Both Emeril LaGasse and Paula Dean make it seem so …

There is an old saying out there; “they don’t build them the way they used to.” I really do believe this saying when it comes to lawn mowers. This is because of an experience I had a couple years ago.
When I first bought my new house, money was a …

Medical authorities, nutritionists, dietitians and all manner of people have been urging us to drink lots of water: plain water. We know the benefits, but most of us prefer to add flavor of some kind.
Our water supply is reasonably good quality. I find it compares very favorably with …

It’s a 14.5oz candle, presented as a filled glass jar and having three wicks for strength of …

Not that I really want to know how much I weigh but this scale good number or bad is accurate. I really do believe that has to do with the fact that it runs on a lithium battery, which is not likely to die or weaken during the lifetime …

I have found the pre-moistened Lysol Sanitizing Wipes to be very useful. I bought the citrus scent, 35 count towelette size. They disinfect and clean all at the same time. They are so convenient to use, I have put one in both of my bathrooms and …

Anyone who is constantly washing dishes knows that all dish detergents are not equal in quality. Though I have never had a problem purchasing an inexpensive dish detergent, I do not like to purchase low quality dish detergent. On one occasion, I purchased the Shurfine Lemon Fresh Dish Detergent …

We never use any kind of charcoal besides Kingsford Match Light. The reason is because you don’t have to mess with stinky, starter fluid. That is just a hassle to soak the charcoal and wait. Kingsford Match Light is ready to go straight out of the bag. You just …

I love spending time at the beach, picnicking in parks, and just generally enjoying myself outside during the summer months. So, I require plenty of good outdoor summer entertainment goods to be able to do that with the least inconvenience. I decided to buy a cooler I …

This summer we purchased a Quick Set Ring Pool for our back yard this summer. You know those are the ones that have the inflatable ring around the top and the the sides are flexible plastic that fill up as you fill the pool up with water. These …

I’ve used this brand of matches for years. I just always liked them, and in many ways I prefer them to the smaller book style matches and cigarette lighters. I also like this larger sized box. It feels comfortable in my hand and never gets lost. And the large …

I recently bought a set of table napkins called DII Primary Table Napkins by DII for $13 online. These are table napkins which I found online after reading positive reviews, and thought they might be nice to use. They measure 20 x 20″ and are made with 100-percent cotton …

I have used several other brands of tape and I would certainly have to say that this one works the best. The only criticism that I would have about this tape would be the price. I usually pay 5 dollars for it which is a bit higher …

I couldn’t imagine a kitchen without a microwave. Initially, my husband was hesitant for me to get one as he thought it would be unhealthy to just heat things up in the microwave. He was convinced otherwise soon enough. This microwave is hassle- free to use even my 2 …

I’m sort of a modernist when it comes to window treatments. In a perfect world I’d have bare floor to ceiling windows flanked by decorative panels.I don’t like normal sheers and I’m definitely not into lace curtains. Both look dated and old lady-ish to me.
But, lets’ face it. …

My family believes that cleanliness is important to have a healthy lifestyle.
