What I love: Garmin StreetPilot i5 GPS

2007-01-11T05:58:00.000-05:00

My new life in the suburbs keeps me driving in circles, literally. I am constantly getting lost and losing my way.

God bless my new Garmin GPS, it's little and oh so smart! It's about the size of a baseball and helps find all kinds of places I've never been before. It even has built in listings for Gas Stations, ATMs and stores.

Loving.it.

What to Love: My Lotus Sanitizing System

2007-01-10T06:27:00.000-05:00

I got the Lotus Sanitizing System for Christmas and I'm loving it. It uses Ozone charged water to kill bacteria off food and surfaces. We use it to sanitize kitchen sponges, kill mildew in the shower and pesticides off food.

This morning, I looked at my contact case and said "I gotta get a new contact case," because it was gross. Instead, I put it through a lotus cycle and now, I don't need a new contact case, because it's as good as new.

Loving.it.

What to be happy about: The return of Lip Gloss

2006-09-25T12:22:00.000-04:00

"New procedures also were announced for toiletries and products like lip gloss and hand lotion that passengers bring to the airport. Previously, those liquids have been confiscated at security checkpoints. Now, these products will be limited to 3-ounce sizes and must fit in a clear, 1-quart size plastic bag. The bags will be screened and returned if they are cleared"

A touch too late for my trip this past weekend.

Let's just see how they dance around this one.

I'm obsessed with this: The Lotus Sanitizing System

2006-07-24T05:57:00.000-04:00

The Geniuses at Sharper Image have invented Germ-Killing Water. Really.

This little machine sanitizes "cutting boards, kitchen counters, stovetops, knives, sinks, toilets, garbage cans or diaper pails... Sanitize everyday items like sponges, dish cloths, small toys, pacifiers, nipples, can openers, kitchen gadgets and utensils — in cool tap water. " All that and it removes pesticides from Fruits and Vegetables (a pet peeve of my life).

They infuse the water with Oxygen ions and make it 50x more powerful than bleach but 100% safe and non toxic.

And Shop Etc. says it's good.

What to Read: Tim Gunn's Blog

2006-07-13T13:09:00.000-04:00

Leave it to Tim Gunn to inspire two blog posts in a row. Go read his blog, including this tidbit.

"...please note my episode one podcast disclaimer: I had not seen a rough cut of the show as of that recording, so all of my babble was exclusively from memory. As of this writing, I’ve seen a rough cut, my memory is jarred into position, and I’m STUNNED about all that escaped me when making that recording. I’d like to promise that it won’t happen again, but one never knows. It’s times like this when I invoke “make it work” to myself!"

Love him.

What to Buy: Doorganizer

2006-07-11T08:06:00.000-04:00

While I hate meshing two words together to make a made-up word, I'll forgive it for the Doorganizer. We're constantly walking out without stuff we need. There's nothing like a container store product to keep your stuff together.
