Laptop Lunch Bento Box 2.0 - {Review}

2011-12-20T00:00:00.000-05:00

I was lucky enough to get to try out a Laptop Lunch Bento Box from Reuseit.com. I have to say, these things are awesome! I love the design of them and how each food has a specific place. It makes it really fun to pack lunch and easy too!

Here are some pictures of how I packed mine the other day. I love that there is a tiny little container to put condiments in! I put some ranch dip in mine for the tomatoes! I also like that it comes with silverware and that it is dishwasher safe!

Here is some more information about them:

Functional, reusable and fun, Laptop Lunch bento boxes enable parents to pack wholesome, nutritious meals for their kids while cutting down on wasteful, single-use containers. Improved design includes large outer container, five microwave safe food containers, a user guide including recipes and tips and a stainless steel utensil set. No phthalates, bisphenol A (BPA), or lead.

You can visit Resuseit.com for lots of different choices for packing lunches economically and nutritiously!

Things to Consider When Buying Bar Stools

Things to Consider When Buying Bar Stools

Forget the traditional three-legged bar stool, modern day bar stools come in a wide range of different and innovative designs. These new versions have pushed the traditional stool aside probably because they serve as both decorations and ergonomic pieces of furniture.

There is no limit as to where you can place your stool; you can have it in the kitchen, bars or even gaming rooms. To buy the right bar stools for your bar or kitchen counter, you will need to establish the height of the counter. A perfect bar stool should have the seat at 9 – 13 inches below the top of the counter. There are different stool sizes out there. 36-inch stools are usually reserved for gaming, 34-inch stools are suitable for 40-inch+ tables while 30-inch stools are used for pool tables. There are 18-inch bar stools for the dressing table.

It is important to get the material right when buying your bar stools. Materials used in the making of stools include wood, metal, plastic, recycled and upholstered materials. The material you choose largely depends on personal taste and preferences.

With so many choices to choose from, take time and research well to ensure you get the best value for your money.

Replacing my boyfriend's cologne

2011-12-01T12:33:00.001-05:00

Guest post written by Sally White

If there's one thing that I know that I don't like in this world, it's my dad and my boyfriend using the same type of cologne. It just don't like for the two of them to smell the same. It's a bit confusing and downright weird. So I told my boyfriend that I'm going to pick out a new cologne for him to wear.

But I wanted to make sure that I bought a really great cologne for him, so I looked online with my Clear Atlanta to find some hints as to what kind of cologne I should buy him.

I did find some really good hints online, but went to the perfume counter at a local store to help pick out a cologne today. I pushed this one Nautica cologne that smells irresistible and I'm so glad that he picked that one! I had read lots of positive things about it online anyway and was going to try and steer him in that direction. Also, I told him that I would buy it for him so he basically would agree to anything.

Mortgage Refinance Quotes

2011-10-26T10:51:00.001-04:00

These days we are all looking for a way to save a buck, aren't we? Our biggest bill each month is our house payment and I'm that is true for a lot of you also! A great way to find some extra money each month is to refinance your Mortgage Rates! You could literally save hundreds each month by lowering your interest rate.

Refinancing your Mortgage is also a great way to pay some repairs and upgrades you would like to do to your house! It makes it much easier than just trying to find that money all at once.

But how do you find good Mortgage Rates? Well you could fill out a simple form online at MortgageFinanceRates.org that will match you with the best loan providers for your situation and credit. Whether you have great credit or not so great credit....they will find a match for you!

If you are looking to refinance or do some home repairs or remodel, I would definitely recommend filling out the online form at MortgageFinanceRates.org to talk to someone who can help you save money each month! Wouldn't that be a great feeling to have a litte "extra" each month?

ToiletTree Fogless Shower Mirror - {Review}

2011-10-18T00:00:00.000-04:00

Recently I was asked to review a Fogless Shower Mirror made by ToiletTree Products. I have to say, I was a bit skeptical. I don't know about you, but in this house, we have tried several so called "fogless mirrors" and had not had the best of luck with them. They always fogged up eventually OR the suction cups that were supposed to attach them to the wall, just didn't hold up....frustrating!

First of all, attaching the mirror to the shower wall was pretty easy. There are 2 sticky pads on the back plus areas to add silicone to attach it. You do have to let it dry for 24 hours before attached the actual mirror to the base.

The secret to this mirror is the reservoir behind the mirror where you add your hot shower water that keeps the mirror truly fogless. You do still get spots on the mirror....but guess what? ToiletTree has taken care of that issue too by including a squeegee so clear of the waterspots!

My husband has been using the mirror now for a couple of weeks and he loves it! We have not had any problems with it and it is still attached to the shower wall (which is something I was worried about).

Here are some details about the mirror from ToiletTree's website:

To use: Simply slide the mirror off the bracket before each shower and fill with hot water. The hot water will keep the mirror the same temperature as the environment in your shower which makes it scientifically impossible for your mirror to ever fog. Filling the mirror each shower takes 5-7 seconds.
Features include:
-Shatter proof high quality acrylic mirror that adheres to virtually any wall surface with removable silicone adhesive.
-Easily adjustable bracket accommodates multiple users and angles.
-Built in shelf to store your razor, sponge or tweezers.
-Squeegee included to wipe away excess water drops.
-Designed not to rust, discolor or damage bathroom surfaces.
-Measures 8.5in x 6.5in x 1.5in and weighs less than 1 pound.
If you are not satisfied with your purchase we offer a 100% 30-day money back guarantee. That's how confident we are that this will be the last fogless shower mirror you will ever have to buy.

If you would like to purchase the mirror, you can purchase it directly from ToiletTree's website HERE or you can purchase from Amazon.com HERE. The current price is $29.95.
