Pepper Saver

saver

I cook peppers quite a fair bit and I also put them in the porridge for my child.  However, I usually use half a pepper in the porridge.  What do I do with the balance?  I keep it in the fridge to be used the next time.  Usually the leftover pepper would turn wrinkly after a few days.   A while ago I came across a cute pepper-shaped container which helps to keep the air and light out of cut peppers.    The Pepper Saver is perfect for keeping the cut peppers stay fresh longer.  Available at HarrietCarter.com.

Turn Tap Water Into A Sanitizer

My friend who sell textbooks to school children, just moved into his new home a couple of weeks ago.  He held a housewarming party last weekend and while we were there, I can’t help but notice his Lotus Sanitizing System which he bought from Amazon.  This amazing sanitizing system can turn the tap water into a powerful sanitizer.   Water treated with this system will kill 99.9 percent of the germs  on any surfaces.  It can be used to safely remove bacteria, viruses and neutralizes pesticides from food.    You can even sanitize children’s toys, teethers and pacifiers.  How wonderful is that? With its Oxyshield technology, the Lotus Sanitizing System infuses cold tap water with an extra oxygen atom, thus creating a natural sanitizer.    I am very interested in getting one for my home now.

Erasable Bamboo Board

I am getting rather forgetful these days.  Is it due to age?  I need to write down all kinds of reminders on yellow stickers.  Sometimes I forget to take some things to work or even pay the bills.  Well, I think this Entry Butler Memo Board will be able to help me out a lot.  I can place this board at the entryway of my home and write reminders like “Take out the garbage”. That way, I will definitely see the messages when I want to get my keys on the way out.  This erasable bamboo board comes with a cubby for mail and a slot to store a pen with felt eraser.  Available at Solutions.com.

Good Solution To Folding Clothes

I am very bad at folding clothes.  In fact, I do not like to do it at all but I have no choice of course.  The clothes that I fold normally turn out to be out of shape.  Yes, it is that bad that my friend told me about this FlipFOLD – The Ultimate Folding Tool.  It offers an easy solution to fold the clothes in a jiffy.    This tool folds all kinds of garment such as shirts, pants, dresses and etc.  It is made of durable plastic and can even fold bedsheets, towels, curtains and more.  With this FlipFOLD,  garments can be folded in minutes and this board eliminates creases.  Ahhh…I can’t wait to have neatly folded clothes in my closet.  If you are like me, then head over to Organize.com now.

How To Clean Your Keyboard

I spend a lot of time in front of my laptop and you just won’t believe the amount of dust I find there.  Well, I am guilty of eating while working so there are some food crumbs on the keyboard occasionally 🙂  I have been looking around for something to clean the keyboard but to no avail.  While surfing the internet just now, I found the Cyber Clean.  It is a cleaning compound which  reaches all those hard to reach small places and removes all the nasty and harmful stuff. It cleans on contact and all you have to do is just press in and pull out.  No rubbing is required! Cyber Clean also leaves all the surfaces clean and fresh smelling.  How cool is that?  Cyber Clean also cleans keypads, touchscreens and touchpads of your iPhone, iPod, Smartphone, Cell Phone, Mobile Phone, Blackberry, PDA and more.  Ok, before I start to read up on the auto insurance reviews online, I better get a Cyber Clean from GadgetNation.net first.

Coughing Is Giving Me Sleepless Nights

I have been coughing for the past 2 weeks.  There are also lots of phlegm and I have been taking some meds to get rid of those nasty green phlegm.  I am also taking a cough syrup to stop the cough.  During the day I hardly cough but as soon as I lie down on the bed to sleep at night, I would start coughing.  My throat is extremely itchy and hence the cough.  I haven’t been able to sleep well at night as a result of this.  I must look for some cream to get rid of the dark circle under eyes now. Helpppp!

How To Organize Your Cords

I love this KableFlag Cord Labels.  They are the most simple and efficient way to identify the cables.  These adhesive-free PVC tag which wraps around the cords allow us to see the cables easily.  Kableflags are available blank so that we can create our own custom labels with a permanent marker or you can also get pre-printed ones which comes in a pack of 10.  With them, you never have to unplug the wrong cables again.
