I really can’t say enough good things about the product I’m reviewing today. Lemi Shine is possibly my favorite household product, and I can’t believe it took me so long to find it. Such a simple little product, but such a big problem solver for my family!
When we moved …

I’ve had my West Bend 12 inch electric skillet for a number of years now yet I don’t remember ever using it; at least not until the other night.
I was grilling hamburgers outside and my grill ran out of propane. Since we were starving, I figured I would finish …

We got this steam cleaner/vacuum with the hope that it would clean our tile bathrooms and kitchen floor. To say we have been disappointed would be a understatement. The cleaning surface of the mop head is too small. So small in fact that you have to wear yourself out …

I bought a portable space heater about three years ago which I still find works very well.
This Warm Fusion Heater is a white ceramic heater which sits conveniently on my bed side table. I like that it heats my whole master bedroom very well.
This particular heater has …

I absolutely hate it when …

After today’s blustery snow shower in the suburbs west of Boston, do I dare presage spring planting time by reviewing unusual but beautiful multi-colored geranium ground cover from that old, reliable Breck’s seed and plant company? As the last piles of crusty snow melt away, let this writer fill …

I am a huge tea drinker. Mostly I drink loose leaf tea, which requires a tea strainer. Originally, I had a one of those plain tea strainer, but it wasn’t very good. Bits and pieces of the tea would escape through a gap were the clasp was.

This new strainer …

Recently launched liquidator model which is said to be the advanced product from earlier products came with a big bang in the market. I purchased it last month. If really something is advanced, then surely the price must have increased but it is same as previous one and henc …

I love to eat stir-fry; it can be made so low in calories that it’s entirely suitable for lunchtime eating, or can be bulked out with noodles for a satisfying and tasty dinner.  I’ve learned that cheap woks are very often a false economy, so I laid out $60 …

A small kitchen appliance which is very useful in its own way is Cuisinart Sandwich Grill. Actually at first I was not keen on buying a sandwich grill because I thought it was unnecessary in my kitchen. We have a bread toaster anyway. But when my son opted to …

I don’t like to spend a lot on trash bags, so I have never really been the Hefty type of girl. However, I have had plenty experience with them and their trash bags are superior. I don’t personally purchase them, and when I moved out of my mother’s home …

Most of the Melaleuca cleaning products are well worth the money. The products are concentrated, so they will last a long time. My favorite cleaning product is Clear Power. Meant as a glass cleaner, it does a great job cleaning windows and mirrors without streaking, but …

I received a gift certificate last Christmas and decided to use it on an item that I would probably never buy myself but would come in handy. I made the right choice when I decided to buy an automatic rice cooker. I love brown rice but hate having to watch …

If there’s anything that would actually make me use regular charcoal briquettes and lighter fluid over real hardwood charcoal, it’s Cowboy Hardwood Lump Charcoal.

We’ve been using Aprilaire Model 201 Filters for many years now. These units are for Aprilaire and Space-Gard systems.

I obtained these paints …
