The Keurig Coffee Maker is a single cup brewing system that tastes similar to coffee from Starbucks, only better! Since Starbucks tends to be quite strong (and expensive), I’ve never really enjoyed it.
The coffee pods that are sold seperately come in various flavors, from mild to extra bold. …

My boyfriend and I recently moved from our studio apartment to a real one bedroom, giving us the opportunity to utilize our space, which really means buy more stuff. In an effort to be more efficient with our time and space, we decided we needed to buy a blender …

I now call this the exploding light bulb. I bought a box of 6 for our bathroom. When it exploded the first time, I thought it fell on the floor. The second time, I blamed an electrical surge. But the third time it exploded, I was furious. Do you …

Taking a bath should be a luxurious experience all of the time. I can’t always get that experience because some soaps don’t lather well on wash cloths. Though I like to use washcloths I like to be able to use a body sponge or puff as well. I get …

Our kitchen is set up so that we need to have an exposed garbage can in our kitchen area. This has always bee nan issue with me for several reasons. First of all, I didn’t like having an ugly white trash can in plain sight. Then …

I recently purchased Vanish toilet drop ins to try in our basement bathroom. It is not the bathroom that is used most often, so I figured I would have to go in there and clean less often if I used this product. I was absolutely right and I really …

The ASDA stainless steel cordless kettle is a personal favourite of mine. Since I bought my first property I have taken an unusual interest in what I would normally consider to be boring household items. They now take on a whole new meaning to me. Now these little objects …

One of the first grills I ever saw was home-made, with its parts being taken from the bottom of a steel 55-gallon drum set inside a semi-square of cinder blocks and covered with some cast iron grill-work. It might not have been very efficient or pretty to look …

I share an apartment with a roomate, and sometimes we have to deal with a bug problem. Not just a bug problem, but roaches. We keep our apartment clean, but with an apartment I guess that doesn’t matter, if your neighbors don’t keep theirs clean.
So, …

Overall, I’m a fan of Bio d products. They don’t test on animals and do not use harsh chemicals. I recently bought their Bio d household polish. It smells pretty much like any other household polish and comes in a squirty bottle for easy application. …
