Must Have Monday’s 13

Welcome to Must Have Monday’s. Every Monday our reviewers will let you have a sneak peak into what we use in our homes and our lives. Here we will tell you about the things we can’t live without. If you have a “must have” item to pass along please e-mail us. We welcome contributions from our readers and are always looking for new reviewers.

I have little time for myself in the mornings. In fact, I am usually trying to balance a cup of coffee in one hand and a toddler in the other. It’s not a pretty picture. I do however like to at least make an attempt each day at prettying myself up.

I find this daunting task a little bit easier with MAC Studio Fix. It’s a foundation and powder in one. Even if I just have time to sweep this on, I feel like I’ve got something on. Retailing at around $25 it’s reasonably priced. I find that it lasts me around 4-6 months and is a bargain!

There is nothing I hate more than a stinky dog. Seriously. This time of year when we let our dog outside and I use a dish towel to wipe her paws before I let her back in. Mostly because she gets so wet out in the rain and snow. Of course she also will dig and roll around in the dirt. So I welcomed Mrs. Meyers Pet Wipes into our home.

I had heard of this brand before, because they make a lot of all natural products for your home. The aromatherapeutic pet wipes are made with oatmeal extract to soothe your pet’s skin and a little vitamin E to protect their coat. The wipes are lightly scented and gentle enough to use around their eyes. You can actually use them all over their body and it does not leave any residue that needs to be washed off. There are 25 wipes in each container and they are well worth the price of under $5.

Weber has always made a great grill. We’ve actually owned several different styles, but this past fall we purchased the Weber Baby Q to travel with. I don’t know what your needs are, but we when camp we only cook exactly what we will eat. This grill may be 14 inches tall, but it still offered a lot of cooking space inside.

The Baby Q has an adjustable regulator for heating and uses a 14.1 ounce propane cylinder (which is not included). The style and compact frame make it easy to take along to the beach or park, and even easier to store when not in use. My biggest problem with grills of any size has always been lighting them. This one has a push-button ignition that is wonderful! Even cleaning it is easy, because it has a non-stick grill. I’m thinking a woman must have designed this.

Weber makes several portable versions, but the Baby Q is the cheapest at around $130. I would highly recommend this version if you are looking for something light and don’t need to feed an army.
