I thought at the time that this was a particularly nice gift. Many of the candle fragrances are yummy …

I use sanitizing wipes for personal care, but have yet to employ wipes for the dirtier jobs of housekeeping. It seems more practical to sanitize one’s hands after contact rather than to clean dirty surfaces or objects beforehand. More significantly, I am dubious if such can really …

The As Seen On TV bottle caps seemed to be a genius product with the ability to seal unfinished pop cans preventing the gas to leave and make the drink un-enjoyable. Basically it is like a lid that goes on top of the can and sealing it. When the …

I have never been a fan of electric blankets. For some reason I have never trusted them and always had visions of being electrocuted or burned in my sleep from dodgy wiring in the blanket. But it was my mother who convinced me to buy one soon …

Kiwi Kleen drain cleaner is not really effective. It can remove small clogs but not big clogs. It works well for kitchen sink but not for bathroom drainage. This powder when put in the drainage pit gives a chemical smell. In case of clog, all the …

I liked the idea behind this water bottle and protein shake mixer, but unfortunately the design is too flimsy for me and the bottle can be frustrating to use. For one thing, it leaks where the lid and the bottle meet. If I tighten it super-hard, it won’t leak, …

A retirement that turned to a home building endeavor required a lot of research on various materials, which led to the decision to go with cementuous siding for the exterior. As a husband/wife building team, we were fortunate enough to have an open minded permit office. I’ll …

There had been hypes about Air Fryer a few years back. It’s supposed to be the healthier choice of cooking because it requires little to no oil to “fry” food. So my family went and got the Mayer Air Fryer. It’s pretty ironic actually, because we don’t really make fried …

We heat primarily with a wood stove, but I bought a small Rinnai, the RCE-606TRA II Vent-Free Space Heater, to put in my basement as backup heat to give us the option of leaving home during the winter months without having the pipes freeze. Rinnai is well known …
