ACRYLIC BASKET LABELS

These labels are great for labeling baskets that I use for storage in every room. They look nice and use a white. marker to write what is in the basket. If you change anything, you can easily clean off the white marker and write something else.

CLEAR ORGANIZER FOR YOUR BATHROOM

We are currently living in an apartment while we build our home in the mountains, and counter space is nearly non-existent. I purchased this organizer and it works well to keep the counter that we do have in order. Love it.

A LITTLE BEE FOR TOOTHPICKS

I ran across this little guy randomly while shopping on Amazon and bought him for our kitchen counter. He holds a lot of toothpicks, and when you need one all you need to do is shake him and a toothpick emerges from his backside. LOL. I like it a lot better than a toothpick box or little container with all the toothpicks exposed. This keeps them clean too.

CERAMIC BUTTER DISH

We go through a lot of butter in our family, and this butter dish proved to be the perfect solution. It holds two full sticks of butter, and even has a butter knife in the lid.

CERAMIC WATER DISPENSER

When we lived in our home in Weddington, NC, we had a large water dispenser in our kitchen that held the large 5 gallon jugs. That large dispenser is buried somewhere in our multi-storage facility near where we are building our new home. We needed a good water supplier, and a dispenser that didn’t take up a lot of room considering we “don’t” have the room for it in our apartment. That’s when I found this dispenser. After doing some research, I realized that this one had excellent reviews, and the metal water spigot on the front doesn’t leak like happens a lot with the plastic spigot options. We have this sitting on our kitchen island with smaller 2.5 gallon glass jugs from Mountain Valley Spring Water. It works great and doesn’t take up a lot of room.

REUSABLE CHALKBOARD LABELS

This roll has 300 labels! I have these on my plastic containers that hold leftovers in our fridge. I can write what is in the container and the date and it conveniently keeps me from having food going bad in our refrigerator. Also, I can put the plastic containers in the dishwasher and they don’t come off. With the white marker, you can clean off what you wrote easily with soap and water. I also use them in my pantry with organizing clear bins for cereals and more.

RUBBER GLOVES FOR HOUSEHOLD CLEANING

I have sensitive skin, and when I am doing a lot of cleaning, my hands will begin to feel damp inside a rubber glove with no lining. I found these and haven’t looked back, and have thrown away all my other rubber gloves. They have a comfortable cotton liner and I get a lot more done with my hands not feeling itchy afterward.

CLEANING BRUSHES FOR HARD TO GET CREVICES

These actually work great at cleaning all those hard to get areas in my kitchen and bathroom. I’ve got one in the kitchen, and the others in each bathroom.

FOLDING WAGON CART

I cannot say enough good things about this cart! We purchased this so that it would be easier bringing in groceries from our truck, but last August, we moved from a tiny apartment to a larger apartment in the same community and 90% of our move was made in two of these carts. Instead of packing clothes from our closets, we just threw them, hangers and all in a cart and wheeled them to the other building and our new apartment. Groceries, all the crap from cabinets, pillows, linens, small appliances … everything moved fast and easy. This cart is very sturdy and folds up small. Great for throwing in your trunk or the back of your car. We have two of them and are always using them for something. I even throw clean laundry in one and roll it to the sofa where I sit and fold the laundry, then I roll it to the bedrooms where everything gets put away. I love this cart!

PANTRY STORAGE CONTAINERS

They work, and they keep things fresh and have airtight lids. I put my chalkboard labels on them to identify what’s inside and my pantry looks clean and organized. I put cereal and pasta in these containers.

MORE FOOD STORAGE!

I use these in my pantry! These have the snaps on each side. The lids are also easy to clean as the rubber seal removes easily and can be cleaned (so nothing gets stuck and icky under the rubber seal). I use these in my pantry, for leftovers, and I even use one with white rice that I use to clean my pastels after painting.

6.5 LITER SMART HUMIDIFIER BY HOMVANA

You can even turn it on and off from your phone. This particular model covers about a 1500 sq ft area. We have it sitting on our kitchen island. It is the best humidifier we’ve ever had, and very easy to clean. It’s a bit pricier than some, but well worth it. A quality product. Use only distilled water, and you won’t get mineral deposits that can ruin the inner workings.

5 LITER HOME HUMIDIFIER BY HOMVANA

This is the smaller version of the two humidifiers I purchased. This one is perfect for our bedrooms. I purchased 2 of these. It’s settings are manual, but like the other humidifier, it is very quiet and works great! Use only distilled water, and you won’t get mineral deposits that can ruin the inner workings.

WALL MOUNTED KEY HOLDER

I hung this right by our front door. It looks nice and keeps our keys in one place.

KITCHEN CLEANING BRUSHES

They last a long time and I use them for brushing off dirty dishes before placing in the dishwasher.

KITCHEN PUMP DISPENSER

Finding a decent pump for my Dawn dish soap has been trial and error for quite a while. This one seems to be of good quality, looks good on my sink, and has a good pump. The pump takes a bit more strength to push down, but I got used to it, so I’m sure you will too. Overall I’m happy with it.

GLASS SOAP DISPENSER WITH CERAMIC TRAY

I love these soap dispensers. They look nice too. But, the pumps that came with mine were terrible and didn’t work. So, instead of throwing out the the glass jars and everything, I ordered new pump heads (see below) and they work perfectly, and I even like the way they look better than the chrome ones that came with the glass jars! So yes, I recommend these glass dispensers, but only if you also spend a few extra dollars on the better pump head.

SOAP AND LOTION DISPENSER REPLACEMENT PUMP HEAD

If you happen to purchase the nice glass soap dispenser jars above, order these replacement pump heads. The pumps that come with the jars above are junk, but these work great – why? I have no idea since they are the same design; but, these work perfectly and fit perfectly on the glass jars.

LUXE BIDET

I thought “Yep, I’ll share this one too.” I had never used a Bidet in my life until my elderly mother needed one. She had lived with us for 24 years when she passed away in January, 2022. She was having difficulties and required more nursing care in our home, and it was recommended to get her a bidet. My brother, Mike, got her a fancy one, that was also expensive, but we purchased this model from LUXE on Amazon, and personally, we like this one better. I can promise you this, once you’ve used a bidet several times, you’ll never go back to using just toilet paper to clean your bottom. Promise. This model is easy to install and does the job it’s supposed to do, and it is a LOT less messy!!! Put it this way, if you stepped in poop with your bare feet, would you wash them clean or take toilet paper to clean it off your feet? Think about that a minute then get yourself this LUXE Bidet. You’ll thank me later.

MUSEUM WAX

I know what you are thinking … “why in the heck would I need museum wax?” Well, let me tell ya … it works, and I’m about to explain how. So, do you happen to have any small sculptures or decorative items on a shelf, a mantle, on a bookshelf, in a curio cabinet, on an end table? You know, something that might break if knocked over by your cat, for instance? Well, put a little bit of museum wax on the bottom and put it back in place on your shelf or furniture, and it won’t easily be knocked over. And yes, this is what Museums use to keep glassware and sculptures in place. It is not glue and it will not damage your counter, your wood or glass shelf or table, or your dresser. But, what it does do is prevents your precious sculpture or item from moving or being knocked over, and that is good enough for me.

NON SLIP SERVING TRAYS

I had been using wood trays for years. They were bulky and heavy and didn’t stack very well. Then I found these on Amazon. They are lightweight and non slip and easy to clean, and they stack in a way that takes up very little space on top of our refrigerator. In the apartment we are currently living in, we don’t have a table to eat at, and we use these all the time. If I could change one thing, though, I’d make them just slightly larger, but overall, they do what we need them to do and don’t take up a lot of space.

MOP AND BUCKET SET

This Mop and bucket set is easy to use and keep clean after mopping my floors. The design gets in corners and edges well, and the mophead gets thrown right in the washer. I like it!

HAIRDRYER BATHROOM ORGANIZER

I got two of these and have them hanging on the inside of my two cabinet doors in my master sink cabinet. I have my hairdryer, two hairdryer brushes, and a curling iron in the slots, and it works for me. Before I got these, everything was shoved in drawers, or under the center cabinet, or left on the countertop by the sink. What a mess it was until I got these.

PROTECTION FROM FIRE

I feel safer having this in the cabinet next to our stove. This blanket throws right over a fire and puts it out without incident. Everyone should have one. It’s faster and easier to use than a fire extinguisher. Yes, you should still have a fire extinguisher nearby, but this Prepared Hero blanket is better at getting the fire out faster. It can also be a life saver. Let’s say there is a fire in your home and you are on an upper level and have to run through smoke and flames, maybe with your child … throw this over your head and shoulders, and/or wrap your child up in the Prepared Hero Fire blanket, and you will be protecting yourself and your child from flames. I have 2 in our apartment, but every bedroom, garage, and kitchen should have at least 1. If you have 2 children in the same bedroom, make sure there are two in the room that they can each wrap around them in the event of a fire. It’s well worth it.

MICROWAVE PLATE COVER

It may not be pretty, but it works to keep your food moist and has a vent on top. I used to throw a piece of wax paper on top of my plates I put in the microwave, but this works better. It also goes easily in the dishwasher. The cover also keeps your microwave cleaner from all the splatters. Spaghetti sauce will stain the inside, but I don’t care about that, it works.

SMALL SPATULAS

These little spatulas are perfect for getting the last drop our of lotions containers, shampoo bottles, and make up containers. I use them all the time. I keep a set in my kitchen and a set in my bathroom.

STOVE GAP PROTECTOR

You can cut them to size and place them on either side of your stove to countertop. They keep grease and other food and stuff from falling in that gap. They are easy to clean and prevent the mess that accumulates in the gap without this protective cover.

BAMBOO CUTTING BOARD FOR STOVE TOP

This is a great cutting board we place it over two of our electric burners in the apartment we are currently living in. It’s not in the way, and it is just the extra space we needed for cutting board needs.

VENT DEFLECTORS

I don’t know about you, but I hate sitting in a chair or on our sofa, or lying in bed, when I have the air from the ceiling vent blowing on me. I found these adjustable magnetic deflectors on Amazon, and they are perfect. They direct the air away from blowing on you, making your room more comfortable. They adjust to the size of your vents and the magnets keep them in place. They can also be used on your floor vents.
