Scrub Free X-treme Bathroom
I am immediately skeptical of any cleaning product that claims to do all the cleaning for you, without you having to make any effort at all. So anything calling itself ’scrub-free’ is a bit of a scam in my opinion. However, recently I bought and tried Scrub Free X-treme …
NordicWare Microwave Egg Boiler

3M Dust Remover Compressed Gas Duster

Jed Mart Six Piece Large Self Adhesive Wall Hooks Hangers
I dislike nailing anything to any wall simply because once I no longer wish to have that something hang there, I have to deal with a hole in the wall, which I’ll then either need to repair or place something else there. I much prefer wall hooks that I …

As you know there is nothing better tasting or healthier than freshly juice…well juice! Whether it be from vegetables or fruits. If you make the right combination you would never be disappointed or turn your nose up at it. Although there have been times where the combination I have …

Clorox ReadyMop
I’m not a big fan of mopping floors, so I picked up the Clorox Readymop Mopping System, hoping it would make the job a little easier. After some simple assembly, it’s easy to use, just pop on one of the pads, push the trigger to spray the …

Mr. Clean Sampaguita Fresh

Shop Norpro Mini Cheesecake Pan
When I saw this cheesecake pan I thought it would be perfect to make miniature cheesecakes. I could make mini cheesecakes people would want to eat without being intimidated by a slice of cheesecake. Also, making the mini cheesecakes would be less cooking time.
I love how this pan was …
As Seen On TV Forever Comfy Cushion
I received the Comfy Cushion as a gift from a friend visiting and I have to say this is an As Seen On TV product that’s probably actually As Seen On TV! I’m not a big fan of these products as more often than not they are not “As …
Febreze Fabric Refresher
I am a smoker and on top of all the other household smells, like kitchen trash, the house can smell less than desirable. I decided to try Febreze Fabric Refresher for the carpet and drapes. I picked up a 16.9 oz. bottle at Walmart for $3.47. I thought that …

Melitta 46894 Thermal Coffeemaker
I bought Melitta 46894 Thermal Coffeemaker despite some people had asked me to not go for it. Many of my friends are using glass carafe coffeemaker and they are happy with their machine. It was natural for them to not suggest something different.
Nevertheless, I bought this metallic coffeemaker …

Back to Basics Appliances Milk Shake Maker Model IC10804

Hometrends Bazaar Brown 16-Piece Dinnerware Set
I purchased this set because it was the most beautiful dinner plate set I had ever seen. The design is gorgeous, and looks more like a piece of art than a dinner set. The plates are very unique in that they are not perfectly round, but …

Meguiar’s Quik Wax
This is an all around good product. I say that because I really love this product, but I don’t use it for my car. I use it on cd’s and DVD’s. Any scratches, no matter how bad they are get buffed right out.
The spray bottle is very cheap …

Scotch Brite Heavy-Duty Household Gloves

Oust 3 in 1 Surface Spray Disinfectant
I bought this product as an air and carpet sanitizer as a corner of my matchbox sized home had a nasty musty smell. As a rule, I don’t like air fresheners and their ilk. The chemically smell that many have, I find a little unsettling. And …
