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.

Well, no more. I found this great glass/window/windshield/mirror cleaner called “Invisible …

I’ve always liked Charmin, even from before the Mr. Whipple commercials that were so famous for many years. It’s been a top brand from the beginning, but I haven’t used it as much in recent times, mostly because it’s high priced and I can’t afford it.
Recently, though, I …

I’ve been meaning to try the Yankee Candle Blueberry Scone fragrance for some time now, but other things have always gotten in the way and it’s only now that I’ve treated myself to a large Housewarmer jar.  I’m so glad I finally bought it as it instantly became a …
