As you are well aware by now I spend a lot of time in my kitchen and because I do I tend to collect rare ingredients that I need only a couple of times; however, they still take up the space in my cupboards that the frequently used spices and ingredients do. I finally got to the point where i’d run out of kitchen cupboard space and things were getting disorganized, cluttered and I couldn’t ever find a thing that I was looking for. I tried one of those over the door carry all mesh things, you know the

things that run the width and length of the door? It didn’t help, everything was just as much of a mess as it was when I started. It was then that I found the spice clip set, they’re a simple easy set of plastic clips that fit on the back of the cupboard door and hold all standard sized spice bottles. Not only does it keep spices out of the clutter but it also makes them easy to organize and consequently incredibly easy to find because you can order them by use frequency or by name.
The spice clip set is not the most sturdy of items and you may find that after a while some of your clips snap off; however, the useful nature of this product far outweighs the possibility that a piece or two might snap off, for $8 it’s easy and cheap enough to replace when it breaks. |

I have absolutely chronic back ache and sitting in an office chair all day really wasn’t helping the matter. I contemplated those new fancy mattresses…that is until I looked at the price tags on those things. I’m not quite ready to pay $2,000+ on a mattress no matter how bad my back is, not until I have an extra $2K to spare anyway so I opted back to the college route. Remember those uncomfortable egg crate things everyone had on their dorm beds? These are absolutely NOTHING like them even

though I was completely convinced that they’d be just as uncomfortable. I gave this Serta mattress topper a chance and i’m really glad I did. This 2" tall foam pad just fits right on top of your existing mattress and right under your bottom fitted sheet but don’t let it’s simplicity fool you. The amount of comfort I have gained from just adding the Serta 2" foam mattress topper to my mattress is amazing, and the best part is - no more morning backaches!
If you can’t quite afford the Serta brand of mattress topper take a look around at places like Amazon.com for other brands, they all work just as well as the next as long as the height is there, I simply preferred to go with a namebrand for some sort of guarantee that it would work for me! |

For as long as I can possibly remember I have always had wavy hair that curls randomly as my hair gets longer and it wasn’t until two years ago that I decided to give a hair straightener a try. Have you ever wondered how those supermodels get their hair so perfectly straight? This is how. I always thought hair straighteners were just for people with insanely curly hair or people with someone to impress (I know that sounds weird but you ladies know what I mean), but after I

tried my first hair straightener I realized i’d spent my entire life with unnecessarily ugly hair. The first hair straightener I tried was the $8 generic brand - not the way to go. Although I was still impressed with having straight hair it took an hour to get all of my hair straightened, whereas, the first time I tried this one all of my hair was perfectly straight within 15 minutes max. On top of that all of the stories you hear about people getting their hair ruined and fried in "those things" certainly applies to the cheap shoddy hair irons but this one doesn’t fry my hair at all.
You can pick up CHI hair straighteners at most of your local megastores but I recommend grabbing one from Drugstore.com to save yourself a little money! |

There is nothing that welcomes guests as well as gives your living room a little personalization than a coffee table book or two. It just so happens that I currently have four coffee table books and they are all Post Secret books by Frank Warren. If you are not yet familiar with Post Secret, it is a project that was launched by Frank Warren in which people from all over the world can write their deepest darkest secrets on a post card and mail them in to Frank. It got to where Frank had so many secrets that he began putting them in books to share with other people and

now there are four Post Secret books out all packed full of the secrets of people from all over the world. The most amazing thing about the Post Secret books is that they’re great conversation pieces as well as great ways to show people how alike people really are.
There are currently four Post Secret books and they are all available from your local bookstore. I recommend purchasing them online from Amazon.com because they are about $5-7 cheaper per book that way. |

I am guilty of not only bringing my work home but I am also extremely guilty of bringing my work to bed with me and there are many nights that I am up late with my laptop burning a hole, not only through my sheets but also through my legs. I went on a search for a laptop stand that I could use both on my desk and in the bed at night. I tried the C shaped stands on wheels that resemble hospital bed tables but nothing was tall enough to reach above our king sized bed with high top

mattress so those were out. After the table stand I tried a couple of lap stands and the only one that really stood out was the Logitech Alto Express Notebook Stand. For under $30 this stand isn’t just a great buy it also does it’s job. The rubber feet on the stand create an anchor for your laptop so it doesn’t slide off the stand, it fits comfortably on your lap and also comes with 3-year limited hardware warranty. This stand also raises your laptop to a perfect angle so if you begin to slouch a little like I do as the night draws on you can still see the screen of your laptop perfectly.
The Logitech Alto Express Notebook Stand is the caliber of product you would expect from Logitech, it’s a quality product albeit a little over priced but it is, by far, the most recommended laptop stand that I have ever used and will continue to use it for a long time. |
