Hip Housewares
I love the colorful mix of eclectic housewares from alice supply co. They make me happy 
Who knew a toilet plunger could actually put a smile on your face?
or a hammer…
My ice would be hip & happy in this ice bucket…
This tool kit rocks!
Safety First!
I love this little safety device! Not only can you lock your precious treasures (your iPhone) inside this portable safe, you can also strap it to an object like the good old fashioned bicycle locks. The cable comes out and you can strap it to your desk or other fixed object. Also, you can charge your electronic device while they are on lock-down. I can think of a few great ways to use this:
- At the gym – I am always worried that my wallet & phone are going to disappear while I am logging my miles. I would strap this little guy to a fixed object.
- Studying at the library – for you students who fall asleep at your desk while studying…you never know who is going to come along and grab your stuff while you are grabbing some zzzz’s.
- On a cruise – keep it strapped down in your room with your passport inside.
It has a set your own combination lock that I think is awesome too. This little guy sure packs a punch for only $19!
I love this shelf. What a great way to keep your favorite books handy while also using them as art. The books end up looking like they are floating on the wall. Another plus….they start at $12.99
Batter Control
I really want this! This Batter Dispenser would make my baking life so much better. The best part would be the lack of batter drips on my counter top. $14.95 isn’t a bad price either…
Breaking News! SmartCandles spotted at Walgreens!
Do you remember the SmartCandles that I wrote about here last month? I absolutely love those candles!! They are the best thing ever. I ran into Walgreens yesterday to pick up a few things and stumbled upon SmartCandles. Yes, the same brand that I fell in love with. I was so happy! Here is what I found:
This Jar candle is only $12.99. It is vanilla scented and has a 4 hour timer – so you can set it to come on at the same time everyday.
I bought this ginger apple scented candle for my powder room. It was only $8.99 and smells amazing. This one also has the 4 hour timer. You can also buy two smaller ones that are only 2 for $12.00
They have a few more styles, scents and colors to choose from. Swing into Walgreens and check them out!
Happy Whatever.
I love this banner…it can celebrate whatever. Why should banners only be for Birthdays? This one is reusable and can spell out whatever you are celebrating….how about Happy Friday? Now that is cause for celebration! You sure will get a bang for your $8.95 buck with this one.
I’m Back!! And I’m still Organizing…
What a tough week I had….I am finally feeling better – thank you for all of your well wishes. We had to put our 16 1/2 year old Lab down, which broke our hearts. Dogs are like people in our family and we sure feel like a piece of our family is missing. Winnie is struggling with being an only dog-child now. I usually like to take on projects to get my mind off of things.
This week I am tackling my master closet – yikes! Last year I switched to all plastic hangers. They had their benefits – they are cheap, they come in different colors (everyone in the family got their own color), and they hold the clothes. The only drawback is that they take up more room in the closet. I have decided to switch to the velvet no slip hangers because they are really thin. The major drawback is that they can be very expensive. So, I have been on a hunt to find affordable no slip velvet hangers.
The best price I have found is at Costco. They sell a box of 35 for only $9.99! At this price they are cheaper than the plastic hangers! I picked up two boxes (and will probably be going back for more). In fact, the same box of hangers sells for $30 on Ebay and $20 on Amazon. This is the best price that I have found.
I’m sure some of you are wondering where to buy the hangers if you don’t belong to Costco. Big Lots has a great price on them too. They have a package of 20 hangers for $8 – a really great price. Their hangers come in some great colors – I love the lime green.
Have you used the no slip hangers? Do you love them?
Using RED @ Target.
I get so used to cashiers trying to get me to open up a credit card during my checkout that I hardly listen to them anymore. I usually just say no. Well, the other day at Target I had a great cashier and I listened…and I was pleasantly surprised! Have you heard about the new Target Redcard? It isn’t a credit card – it is a Target debit card that is linked to your bank account. When you use it, the money comes right out of your checking account as if you are using your debit card. I’m sure you are wondering why you would want to use this card instead of your debit card, right? There are HUGE advantages to getting the REDcard.
- You get 5% off every purchase! Prescriptions, groceries, and all of your other Target must-haves. Awesome, right?
- You get free shipping on all of your Target online purchases.
- 1% of your purchases are donated to your child’s school.
- After you fill 5 prescriptions, you get a coupon for 5% off a day of Target shopping (you add that to the 5% that you already get off by using your card).
You can sign up in the store in about 5 minutes – all you need is a current check from the account that you will be using. There is no annual fee either. It sounds like a win/win to me! I have already saved $12 this weekend using my REDcard.
I did not get paid to write this – Target doesn’t even know I wrote it! I just wanted to fill you in on some useful information
