Freaky Frugalite

I just LOVE my new cast iron sink! But the thing stains SO easily and it’s such a pain to clean. So when the dudes from Greased Lightning took pity on me and offered to send me a free bottle of their cleanser, I jumped at the chance. See how pitiful my sink is. Be [...]

That isn’t the name of a new Godzilla movie, as cool as it would be. Thermolactyl is a fiber, for a type of ladies and mens thermal underwear. Today, I am reminded of Damart’s thermolactyl on Upstate New York’s traditionally coldest day of the year. My oldest son just informed me that he’s outgrown his [...]

I’m always interested in healthy new drinks. I have tried the raw meal green powder drink stuff that is packed with vitamins and minerals and pink elephants and stuff… but honestly the drink tastes horrible. I couldn’t drink it anymore.

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Walgreens for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. Have you noticed it yet?

No matter how much I handle my phone, the screen display really doesn’t get dirtied with fingerprints. I figured maybe the reason was because the iPhone is made of glass, but that’s not it at all. It’s [...]

Anybody remember those wacky pine-tree shaped “air fresheners” from the 70s? My parents hung them in the car, and man did they stink. Oh they did what they were intended to do– mask the smell of 6 stinky teenagers crammed into a summer of ’76 station wagon. The “pine” scent wasn’t too bad (the scent [...]

After my recent success with buying glasses online, I’ve been shopping around and looking for eye glass frames for men for my husband and sons. I don’t think I am ever, ever going to the retail optician again, lol. My glasses alone cost me two-thirds less than the typical retail price. My sons, who have [...]

I never, ever in a million years thought I’d ever have to consider something like this: Uncle Bob’s Self Storage. Before I had kids — and even when the kids were small — we just never had a whole lot of “stuff.” Moving from apartment to apartment was easy- -just pack up the two, three [...]

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of PartyLite Simple Pleasures Holiday Sweepstakes for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. Were you ever a “Tupperware hostess” or “Avon hostess”?
