PLAY MISTY FOR ME!

Our house is so insulated and air tight that in the winter we have to run a humidifier at night in order to sleep.  I hate the dry mouth and nose mornings.  This humidifier is my favorite because:  1.  It can be just a humidifier that will last most of the night (timer option). 2. It has a colored lighting option so that it's like a night light or accent piece. 3. The colors can change or you leave it on your favorite color. 4. You can add essential oils for additional therapeutic options. 5. The essential oils do not go in the water. They are separate on a felt strip in the bottom of the unit. 6. It is touch control. It has a water reservoir that is easy to clean and hold. I just re-ordered two for my friends.

NO MORE SKEWERS!

This is a product that will save me time and work!  I am a vegetarian and have tried to grill veggies on our barbeque grill for the past 3 or 4 summers. They always fall off the skewers or drop down into the grates, catch on fire and make a mess! We've even tried to grill bacon and, let's just say...don't do it. Lee's Garden & Grill has promoted these durable baking and grilling mats for just that purpose.  They can withstand high temperatures for a short period of time but will grill most foods at a normal baking temp.  Very easy cleanup with soap and water makes these a breeze to use.

DRESSED FOR THE SUN!

This is a classic white tank top in the racer back style.  The quality of the the material is an excellent stretchy fabric that fits well and hides places that you don't want exposed. There is a built in shelf bra and the tank has a good length that you can tuck in or leave out.  I have the extra small and it was a little tight for the 32" bust. The 92% cotton and 8% spandex gives and hugs.  I'm sure it will wash well but I always hang the cotton to dry so that it won't shrink up on me. It is a perfect style for yoga, golf or tennis players, so they can move freely without restriction of the arms. It is available in tons of colors so that you can be coordinated in style and in playing your game. If you don't mind the racer back tan lines, you will like this top.

SOCKS OF COMFORT!

When your feet swell and you have pain from standing or an injury, I have found that compression socks work great. I have a friend that can hardly walk the next day after standing and walking the whole day beforehand.  I introduced him to compression socks and his work has changed. The swelling stays down and even though he may get a twinge of pain or two, it goes right away and he feels less tired. The toe-less foot compression sock is ideal for him.  The silicone heel support is ideal for runners or anyone who needs a supportive cushion. The smaller black ones work well inside your shoes for more support while playing sports or assisting to heal the injuries in your foot.  I highly recommend this product for anyone who has foot issues of swelling, pain, or disease.

CLEAR AND PRESENT PROTECTION!

This is a flexible phone case protector for an iPhone 5, 5s or 5g.  It is clear so that the color of your iPhone shows through.  It is not a hard slippery plastic, it is pliable and easy to install on your phone. I don't like a case that slides off my desk and this one doesn't seem to do that.  It fits snugly on the phone but not too difficult to get back off if you want to change it out.  Cell phone cases are like a fashion accessory these days with all kinds of colors and designs. Sometimes it's nice to just let the phone itself, be the fashion.

GO AWAY, LITTLE BIRD!

These stainless steel reflectors are the perfect solution for my bird problem.  Birds come and nip off my pepper stems, preventing them from growing. They get after an nice little green start to a plant and then I end up re-planting my veggies.  The white sticker peels off easily to expose the mirrored effect. There are rings and hooks, to either string along the boundary of the garden or to hang, as we did, on our tomato plant cages.  It was hard to get good pictures to show you because they reflect the ground but you can see the disks, which are the round circles. The birds are distracted by the shiny metal and are warded off as the disk moves to scare them away. They were easy to install.

HANDCRAFTED UNIQUENESS!

I like distinctive and different jewelry so this tree of life necklace is certainly something I will wear.  The chain is of a rose tone and the matching wire is twisted into a tree supporting seven different crystals.  The tree of life is symbolic for health, wealth and happiness in certain beliefs i.e. yoga, but I like it just for the design. This one is the multi-colored quartz and each crystal has a different meaning.  It is available in just one color, too. Being hand made, each medallion will be unique and special.  The medallion is about the size of a golf ball. The chain is fine but sufficient for the weight of the piece. I would have liked a better clasp connection instead of just the chain to hook into, but it still works.

RUBY ELEGANCE!

This is a lovely set of earrings.  I was very surprised at the size of them. Most of the time, ordering online is difficult because it's hard to judge if they are what you want.  These earrings are of a size that is perfect to be visible with short or long hair.  The stones are cut like a jewel, have a nice depth and the ruby red color is what I expected.  They are set in a silver basket-weave design that adds to the elegance. The earring backs have the protective plastic disk that ensures a good fit and allows the earring to stay in place. These would make a nice gift for anyone.

HAVE BOTTLES, WILL TRAVEL!

This is another useful travel product made from silicone.  A set of four bottles that are approved for airline travel, are specially designed to hold toiletries safely and securely.  They each have a built-in suction cup to hang on the shower wall when you are staying in a hotel.  There is a dial ring at the neck with the words shampoo, soap or sun to described the contents. But, you don't have to fill them with toiletries, they can also be used for condiments, i.e. ketchup or mustard, oils and such.  They are very versatile and easy to clean. The set comes in a vinyl zippered bag for ease of keeping them together as a group.  The necks of the bottles are large enough to accommodate thick shampoos without any mess filling them. I like the silicone but the dials are a little hard to turn if you want to designate the contents of each bottle.

SIP SLIDIN' AWAY!

It's amazing that there are so many straws made out of different materials.  I've tried glass, paper and now there is stainless steel.  These straws come in a set of six with two cleaning brushes. These are unique in the fact that they are pre-bent for easy sipping your liquids.  I used mine in a six ounce glass of green smoothie.  The stainless straw handled the thickness of my smoothie very well.  Another nice thing about these straws, is that, if your drink is ice cold the straw will become cold, too.  It's like drinking from the glass cold but the straw gives you the same temp. Being stainless, they are less susceptible to rusting and they are easily sanitized.

CREME DE LA CREME!

Shea butter is my favorite lubricant for my skin. This jar of shea butter by Live Fresh is the best I've used yet. When I opened the jar, all I could think of was heavy whipped cream. It's that creamy, soft and thick.  Just a little on your hands and your skin feels so soft and silky.  It is filled with other butters, oils and vitamins...all organic. There is NO ODOR with this creme so that I can gift this product to those who have fragrance allergies. It doesn't have a greasy, oily residue that can film your hands and make them slippery.  I play bass guitar and have to be careful about slippery fingers. This cream works well, even for me playing.

GET FLASHED!

I hate being out in the dark without some sort of light. Living in the country, we don't have any street lights to illumine the area around our home and property. We depend upon the stars and moon or use a flashlight. Our house lighting only travels about 10 feet and the areas that are left in the dark are full of creatures of the dark.  When I let my dogs out at night to drain their bladders, I often keep an eye out for where they have traveled. Until the sensors lights come on, it's hard to see them.  Now that I have these LED safety lights by Sigem, I can clip one to the collar of each dog. The set also comes with hook and loop straps for around your arms or legs when you are jogging or walking along in the dark so that cars will be able to see you along side the road. Even in the day time, the red led light will make you noticeable. The lights are equipped with batteries so that they light immediately. There is a small screwdriver to remove the backs to replace the batteries. Two extra batteries are included but each light takes two.

A LITTLE NIP, HERE AND THERE!

 My husband always has problems with his toenails. If he would just let them grow, the wouldn't bother him so much but he has to pick at them until they bleed, sometimes. I am his manicurist and try to keep them neat and free of hangnails.  Today I used the cuticle nipper on his large toe. First, I applied oil and then, using the BlueOrchids cuticle pusher, I pushed back his cuticles. I was able to complete the manicure by cutting back his cuticles. Inside the handle of the nipper, is a piece of metal that turns up toward the cutting head so that the handles are springy. Cuticle tools are important to maintain the health of the skin around the nails. In the winter, his skin tends to split and crack around the nail and hopefully, with this treatment, it will help to prevent the painful cuts.

WHERE'S THE HAIR!

Now, my husband doesn't have much of a beard because I like them trimmed and neat. When I got this handmade beard comb by Kent, I thought that he wouldn't have a use for it but I was wrong.  This comb is perfect for him to neaten his beard and his mustache.  It's the perfect size for him.  What I didn't reveal to him was that the comb also is for thinning hair, shhh! His hair is very thin on top of his head.  This happens with aging men sometimes, and he will be able to pocket this comb to have it with him. He rides a motorcycle to work and usually has helmet hair.  I think he'll be able to carry this lightweight comb in his lunch bucket. The teeth of the comb are rounded so that they don't scratch the skin and cause irritation. Would make a great gift for a beard.

HEAVENLY SCENTED!

I love aromatherapy and I love to wear jewelry that will enhance the scent of my choosing.  My favorite is lavender because of its calming properties.  This diffuser necklace is made of surgical steel so that it shouldn't rust or tarnish from the use of oils. It is easy to open and you insert the felted disk of your color choice.  I have the white one in the necklace now.  The chain is very pretty, too, unlike others that are just plain.  They have added little beads as a decorative touch.  It all comes in a nice velvety pouch for storage.

RAZORED!

This is a JTrim Rechargeable Shaver. My husband tried it out right after a shower while his skin was still moist. Since the shaver is waterproof, it had no problem getting close to his skin and removing the day's stubble. He used the pop-up trimmer to cleanly edge his beard around his neck. The shaver is easy to clean by rinsing it under running water and using the enclosed brush to remove any stubborn debris. The razor head detaches easily to clean underneath. Even if he dropped in in a sink full of water the shaver will still work and there is a one year warranty.
