When I went to work for a luxury linens company a few years ago, one of the first “Welcome to the Company” gifts I received were several bottles of Caldrea Linen spray.
At first it seemed like something fancy and unnecessary but after a few uses, I became addicted. If you aren’t changing your sheets that [...]

Ever wondered who comes up with some inventions you see? I do. Especially when I run across something that combines a useful product and mixes in something off the wall. For example look at the Talking Moo Mixer from Hog Wild Idea Kitchen.
I’m sure you can guess what it does just by the title and [...]

I refuse to use eco unfriendly detergents like Tide, but was having some trouble finding a good alternative. Dr. Bronner’s organic soap and vinegar is good, but doesn’t remove stains. Seventh Generation and Nature Clean make very safe cleaners but, again, no stain removal. At Costco a few months ago I found a [...]

I admit I have a weakness for candles and air fresheners. Some people have their stash of hair products and make-up, but I prefer to spend my money on a good smelling wall plug-in. I just like our house to smell good.
My love of Febreze started with their fabric refreshers. In college it came in [...]

But how did VapoSteam save the day, you ask? Well I’ll tell you in a minute. First let me tell you that I was sent the new Vicks V790 GermFree Humidifier to review. I was thrilled to get it as my whole family had a cold at the time and our other humidifier was going [...]

Last year after extensive dental work, my dentist convinced me to spend $129.95 at her office for a “dental recommended” electric toothbrush. Having used the Oral B Triumph with SmartGuide for just a few weeks, I feel like she should be turned into the ADA for her crap recommendation.
The Oral B not only comes with [...]

I recently received an assortment of four Naked Binders to check out. Immediately I noticed that the binders were much sturdier than the vinyl binders I normally purchase for home use. They also sport an array of colors on the spines so you can color coordinate your projects or pick a specific [...]

My family and I moved into a our first built home a year ago. Although it was nicely built and brand, spanking new, it had little color, zero decoration and desperately lacked style. So, for a year now, I have felt completely overwhelmed and uninspired to do anything about it until I received a copy [...]

I used to be a big Swiffer Duster fan. It was an easy way to clean around the house and seemed to clean pretty well. After about a year I began to notice that although it did wipe up the dust on places like a shelf, it didn’t seem to always hold on to the [...]
