I like a clean house and love scented cleaners with the exception of pine sol. If something has a weak scent to it, I won’t buy it including dish detergents and laundry soap. I tend to associate a weak fragrance with a less-than-good product. I like to use cleaners …

These solar lights disguised as rocks I picked these up last year for somewhere around the 30 dollar price range. I was hoping to use them as a less conspicuous alternative to staked solar lights so that I can see where I’m going in my backyard at night. It’s …

Since I have no access to Body Shop’s Home Fragrance Oils, I decided to purchase air freshener spray. I stopped at one of the local stores which sells imported products. Of all the fragrance that were available, I picked “Lavender and Chamomile”. I really thought that this is a good …

I recently aquired a Cuisinart DCC-1200 coffee maker as an early birthday present. It is a truly remarkable coffee maker and definitely one of the best that I have ever owned! This coffee maker comes with a wealth of excellent features:
1. 12 cup capacity
2. Heat adjustable warming plate
3. 3 …

I have a very tall and very inquisitive fourteen month old son, and after a scary near-miss recently when he almost pulled a pan of boiling water on himself I decided I wouldn’t be using the cooker hob as much as my nerves simply couldn’t take it.  This hasn’t …

The water in the house where we live now is not really that good. And it also has impact in the bathroom porcelains and toilet. Every few days, I need to clean the bathroom porcelains and the toilet from the dirt that came from the water and stick to …

The Swiffer Wet Jet All-In-One Power mop kit was one of those things that I thought was a waste of time. I mean I’m all about the old age mops and maybe even hand cleaning your floors. But my wife of course thought that the whole Swiffer idea was …

I’m actually reviewing this product even though I don’t personally own it. I was using a friend of mine because I needed a coffee pot to take with me on a week long camping trip and she said that she had one that would work perfectly for what I …

Our gas got cut off and I had to go electric, unfortunately, because I definitely prefer cooking with gas. I bought this kenmore stove used for $250. Brand new, the price ranges from about $600 plus.
The stove features smooth ceramic top cooking surface, 2 small elements, 2 …

My family and I had an argument about this but my husband bought me a vacuum cleaner for mothers day. Ok here is the argument. They all wondered why he bought me a vacuum cleaner for Mothers day. I tried to explain to them that I asked for one …

I got this Glass Washer by As Seen On TV. The price is only $8. I got it when I walked in their store. To me, I hate cleaning and washing, especially glass cups. It’s really hard to reach the very bottom of the cups since the mouth/ opening …

On lovely warm nights, my boyfriend and I enjoy spending time grilling and eating outside on our lovely outdoor table, but we hate eating with the mosquitoes. One of the ways I keep the mosquitoes away from the eating area outside is with the use of four Quantum Buzz …

I needed to sanitize the tap water, for drinking, at my house at the Lake of the Ozarks. The Atlantis model of the Brita Water Pitcher line, is the smallest, holding 1 1/2 quarts. Within the housing of the lid, is a reservoir, where the water is placed, from …

I was tired of the towel holder hanging on the wall. I wanted something that would hold the towels to dry after a bath, but also something that would hold extra towels as well. I found a nice decorative towel holder at Walmart that would work perfectly for what …

When we were all sick in my house with colds I picked up a canister of Clorox Disinfecting Wipes to clean and disinfect the hard surfaces in my home. I will say the wipes were easy to use, very moist, and cleaned up wonderfully. I even like the fact …

If you have read any of my other reviews you’re probably thinking to yourself, “She only chooses the more expensive of products.”
That is not my goal, I choose which product that I personally like best.
I am now comparing the Dollar General brand bathroom cleaner to Scrubbing Bubbles.
They both do …

I am taking more interest in my health, and as a result I’ve joined a gym and have also decided to eat a bit more healthier than I normally do. It is for this reason that I decided to get myself a juicer, in order to make fruit and …

I bought this clock as a gift for my husband. I was planning on getting him a clock for his garage, and I saw this one for around $30. It was a bit expensive for a small clock, but I thought it was neat looking, with a …

This thing is fantastic and I don’t believe it could have been designed any better. First let me say that I own several Stanley made tools and they are some of the best that I have owned. I purchased this from Wal-Mart about a year ago. …

My house gets particularly cold in the winter due to old ceilings and ancient doors and windows which I simply cannot replace because they are the original fittings of my hundred year old house; therefore I have to figure out ways to create warmth which includes wood burners, electric …

You probably can not imagine that the mosquitoes are so crazy here. You can not count anymore how many mosquitoes you will see in a day. I don’t know why but it seems that the neighborhood are a bit dirty than we thought. Anyway, to solve this problem, we …

Even it soudns as if I have alot of babies, i do have teenagers in my house and when it comes to teenagers, I need something that will keep them and me happy. It’s hard to find something that will keep two teenagers happy when both like to use …

The house I am living in at the moment is surrounded and protected by an electric fence. I am not too keen on these things as I was (still am) always afraid that somebody would be harmed or even electrocuted. But, we took the house “as is” and with …

I was constantly trying to remove those awful labels from jars that I could later use for canning. I finally learned to soak them to soften the label. Then I would put on dish washing gloves. Under the hottest running water I could stand, I would …

I went through a phase where I needed a carpet clean and I needed it fast. I had a few people come by and clean it for me but they didn’t do a great job of cleaning it. I was so upset because they charged $100 for my entire house. …

I am such a sucker for novelty kitchen gadgets; I’m going to need a bigger house soon. My latest find is a specialty hotdog maker by Nostalgia Electrics Vintage Collection. In case you are unfamiliar with the appliance it is actually a white pop-up toaster that cooks …

I have a Lysol Steam Mop that I bought at Bed Bath and Beyond for 39.99.This mop is good for cleaning floors and comes with a small bottle of lysol cleaner. It also comes with a package of three cleaning cloths. The cloths are attached to the cleaner similar …

Ace Laundry Bleach is something that I don’t use very often. First of all because it has such a strong smell that I find it difficult to even open it. Than it is so strong that you really have to pay attention to where and how much you put …

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!) …

I was trying to cut out having to find a rag every time I dusted the house. I thought the way to do it was to use a disposable Pledge cloth to do it. I found these cloths at the grocery store for $3.54 for an 18 count container. …

I just want to talk about how much of a waste of money this Swiffer Wet Jet is. First of all the only reason I bought it was because I felt as if buying a Mop over and over again was a waste of money. I went through mops …

I’m not usually one to get wrapped up in all this anti-bacterial, sanitized world nonsense. I’ve always taken my bathroom cleaning pretty seriously though. It’s the one room in the house I want to smell like bleach when I was done scrubbing it.
Or, I USED to. Now …

We bought this heater for camping. We have a trailer, and it does have heat, but we usually don’t need to run the heat except for at night if it gets really cold out. We needed a little space heater that was just enough to take the …

Aluminum Foil is something that can really be important in the kitchen. I know I have multiple uses for it and I’m sure I am not the only one. I am really picky about the type of aluminum foil I use. It is never as good as the aluminum …

Best invention ever! The Cuisinart Two-to-Go is probably one the best things ever made to fuel the body of a college student. Pop the coffee in, press a button, cover the mug and I’m good to go. My roommate and I usually use a regular coffee maker in the morning …

My old vacuum broke and since I have carpet it was pretty much mandatory that I had to buy another one. The worst thing is I really did not have a budget for another vacuum. I found the Bissell Powerforce Bagless, model 6583 at a local store for only …

Cleaning windows can be a very ungrateful job, specially during the winter and when its raining often. In general I don’t like cleaning windows because it takes quite some time and it is very difficult to clean them perfectly, usually stripes remain. When it is cold then you have …

I never knew that a popcorn popper will be very useful in my home. I did not even think of buying one because I used to be contented with popping corns the traditional way. I was then just using my stainless wok with cover to perform the task. This …

I was looking for a way to prevent frost build up on my house windows so I decided to give this a try. I was amazed at how well it works because it works so much better than I initially expected. It’s sold in an 11 ounce …

I am very impressed with the Luna Toilet Paper Dispenser by Hagleitner. Having used it recently, I was surprised by the high quality and style of this product. Please let me share my positive experience with you.
I would like to start this review by saying that this roll paper …

I was planning an after-prom party and I wanted to make food that would be interesting but not extremely time consuming to prepare. Earlier in the year, I had been to a buffet that has a chocolate fountain with the same group that I was going to prom …

About a month or two ago, I bought three boxes of the DG Value Aluminum Foil. I love shopping at the Dollar General for good deals, but I never had bought their aluminum foil before. I knew I was running low at home on it, so I decided to …

When it comes to getting a broom for my home I will never spend too much. I don’t think that a broom is the sole most important thing in the house but it is needed to keep a clean home. I won’t spend more than 2 dollars on a …

Living in a very warm climate, sometimes it seems that is no amount of air conditioning that will keep the house cool enough. Last summer, after a particularly long streak or record temperature days, I ran out and purchased three Oscillating Tower Fans model FZ10-2D from Climate …

I admit that I have always been a collector of memorabilia, be it related to travels, to celebrities, or even to favorite foods, and that is the category that the M&M candy dispenser fits into.
I actually remember when these first came out. There was regular M&M dispense and …

When I began knitting, my tastes had been already set on buying equipment and tools that worked, and were of the highest quality. Talking about my tools, needles, yarn and thread is something enjoyable. Money spent on good tools will last a lifetime, and possibly be handed down to …

Unfortunately, I have an oven and stove top that just does not work well and hasn’t for years. I did have two burners that worked somewhat for a while, but a few months ago, they burned their last notes. So, I had to go looking for a …

I’ve seen several of the commercials for the Glade Sense and Spray air fresheners but never wanted to invest the money in them because I thought they were a little too expensive. The cost of the refills were never bad, but the actual device itself seemed to be a …

I take this cooler with me a lot when going on short trips or to the park and it’s perfect. It’s quite large and it holds a lot. I purchased it about a year ago from Fred’s Dollar Store in Columbus. At the time of …

This play shopping cart has been one of the favorite toys of all times for my own and my daycare kids over the years. The little girls especially like to pretend to grocery shop and put the play items into their cart. Over the years, we have …
