I’d like to say that I’m a neat person. Okay, so not only am I neat, but I am freakishly neat. All my towels need to be folded the same way, and my books need to be on their shelves in alphabetical order. It’s a sickness. What can I …

I’ve had these tongs for years, and at this point I almost couldn’t do without them. Now, to be clear these are the ones with the scalloped metal edges, not the newer nylon coated tongs. I’m afraid I don’t know anything about those. Those are on my list of …

The Verilux has simple gray and white coloring, and it goes with practically anything. It’s small, portable, and fits in tight spaces. It doesn’t take up a lot of room on the desk; it’s easy as a flashlight to use, and makes working on papers (and drawings) more enjoyable. …

My daughter bought me the first pack of these bags because i did not think they would work and refused to waste the money. To my surprise i found out not only do they work with the vegetables they actually cut the cooking time way down. If you are …

The DeWalt model DW980 Heavy Duty (XRP) 1/2″ drill/driver is yet another well built tool in the massive DeWalt line. This model comes with a hard case, two 12 Volt batteries, and a plug in charger for the batteries. The reason we purchased this unit was to insure that …

While I was out shopping recently I came across Yankee Candle’s new range of fragrances, specially developed for Spring 2013 and featuring some amazing sounding candles. I’d already bought one large jar (Black Coconut) when I spotted this Waikiki Melon fragrance, and after a quick sniff of the …

I first bought this appliance when my sister came home from the U.S. Instead of buying an airconditioner or an electric fan, I decided to buy this one and I’m happy I did. It’s way cheaper and lighter than an airconditioner but works the same if not better. It’s …

Granted, I’m capable in the wood working arts, and I can turn out some fairly decent pieces that you’d think were purchased from a department store or a lawn and garden outlet. But in this case, we needed something right then and there. Specifically, we wanted a …

I have hand soaps all over the place, literally in almost every room of the house. If it’s not a hand soap then it’s a bottle of hand sanitizer. I’m a little obsessive compulsive about keeping my hands clean, especially considering all the things I have to handle while …

The GKI Bethlehem Lighting NOEL 4-Piece Lighted Brass Christmas Stocking Holder Set With Candle Lamps is not my favorite stocking holder of all time. I feel that even though I paid a significantly reduced price for it last January that the quality of the stocking holder still wasn’t quite …

Velvet curtains are the worst when they are cheap looking. The last time I saw velvet curtains at an import store advertised as chocolate brown they turned out to be a wimpy sort of light milk chocolate color. I think most of us think of saturated jewel tones when …

For at least a decade I’ve been making do with one corkscrew. It’s the old fashioned kind, all metal with the little arms that lift up when I turn the handle. It’s never been the most effective tool for opening a bottle of wine and often the cork breaks …

I really wanted to love this sweeper, because I love my other Bissell Vacuums (I have the Bissell Feather-weight and the Bissell PowerGroom Pet Compact Bagless Vacuum Cleaner) but in truth I only ‘like’ this sweeper.
The only reason I had bought this is that my infant son would …

We got the Tecnogas Semi Built-in Cooker Hood TB 98TSS 90Cm Ultra Slim recently to replace our old Hood, which was bulky and worn out.

I love how much cuter tissue boxes have gotten in the last couple of years. And Kleenex still makes the best. Best tissues, best boxes. The Kleenex Expressions tissues are incredibly stylish. My favorite one right now, at least for my bedroom is called Marquetry. It’s a silhouette of …
