Today I’ll be writing about some items that I’ve found that have made my life easier or simpler in some way.

SAVE SOME SPACE!

My mom bought me this set of collapsible measuring cups…I love, love, love them! They fold down completely flat, thus taking up far less space than your average measuring cups. Yes, it’s the simpler things in life that make me happy. I plan to get the colanders next. What will I do with all that extra cabinet space?

SAVE ON STYLE

I got a set of Temp-tations ceramic ovenware for Christmas and I can’t wait to use it. I really don’t need to save it for a special occasion…it’s affordable ovenware designed to go from oven, to the table, to the freezer. It’s even microwave and dishwasher safe! It looks like a million bucks and most pieces come with their own rattan trivet and iron serving basket. This set has 16 total pieces and is less than $45.

SAVE YOUR NECK

I don’t own this yet, but saw it today on QVC (do we notice a trend here?). It’s a mirror that opens out from both sides so that you can see all the way around your head without holding up an extra mirror. It means you can see what you’re doing back there while drying or styling your hair. Hubby can see his neck and shave it easily. It also has two lights and a 5X magnifying mirror. It attaches easily to most surfaces with suction cups or mounting tape (included). It folds fairly flat when not in use. It’s $31.10.

SAVE YOUR SANITY

The Magellan RoadMate has to be one of the nicest presents my husband has ever bought me. We recently moved to a new city, and this little baby has really helped me find my way around. In addition to your run-of-the-mill directions, it also provides points of interest. For example, while on the road, I could search for the nearest restaurants. I could even type in the name of a restaurant and it would tell me where the next closest one was and how to get there. Best of all, it recognized the traffic jam we were in on I-95 and offered us a detour. Although I doubt we saved any time, we felt better because we were actually driving instead of sitting on the highway. I’d say I use my RoadMate at least 2-3 times a week. I love it! If you belong to Costco, check their site for prices. They currently have a special on these.

SAVE YOUR SOLES

I have had problems with dry feet ever since my first pregnancy. Something about the whole baby process has taken its toll on my tootsies. I tried many creams and lotions and was disappointed in them all. Until I found Kerasal. It rocks! My feet are back to their old pre-baby condition (if not their pre-baby size….sigh…). I love this stuff and I think you will too.
