My panini maker. It makes such wonderful sandwiches, plus I can use it for other items. Makes dinnertime much easier (and I'm not dirtying up a bunch of pans)
I am an avid coffee drinker, I really like the blended ice drinks! Well I was noticing that at some of the coffee shops I would go to they would have posters up saying that they use BIG TRAIN products, so I started paying more attention to how they would make my drink. Then I went home and did a little research and found a website, which I have now been using for almost 10 years, called boxofgoodies.com. I order the mocha big train mix and make my own coffee drinks at home. I have saved myself tons, and yes I mean tons of money, by making the best homeade coffee drinks and not paying $5.00 a glass. I can make about 40 drinks out of one 3.5 lb bag that costs only $27.00 shipped! This is my best find because I can still have my indulgence and also it doesn't cut into the budget as bad as it did going to the big label coffee shops.
My fabulous find is Swiffers, the wet ones. I use them for my entire house, walls & floors!
I currently love my Aveeno Positively Ageless night cream. I am not much of a primper, but this stuff is wonderful. I put it on at night and I can't believe how soft and smooth my face is in the morning. This is a great find.
This is exactly how I feel about my iphone. It took a great deal of gumption for me to spend so much on a telephone but thankfully, I was hired to write a few articles about this very phone for a corporation. The pay for those articles funded my iPhone, with enough left over to squelch that guilt!
I could not live without it at this point. its so nice to roll over in the morning and check email as I allow myself time to wake up. Its doubly nice to be out and about and use the GPS or maps to find a location, click on the url and go to their website or click on their number and instantly call to get store hours!
Okay....so I love my iPhone.
I also love me some dunkin donuts coffee beans!!!!!!!!!!!
I have naturally very curly, hard-to-control hair, and I sometimes feel like I've tried every hair product on earth, to no avail. Once I tried Paul Mitchell's Super Sculpt, I vowed never to use anything else ever again. It keeps my curls from getting fuzzy, but it doesn't get crunchy and wet-looking like gel. Plus, it's way less expensive than a lot of salon-brand products and it smells like applies.
Well, this might sound a bit odd, but my favorite product find, really has no name. I call it Pink Stretch Film. I bought it from a huge reclaimation site, since they are a clearing house for many Industrial items, I call it a kind of recycling. This 'product' was a 12 inch by 18 inch roll of paper backed adhesive film. It is pink as you already know. I have sent some to the Canary Islands, to be used as patio bug and wind/dust shield. I have made products for myself, like freezable cold packs, homeopathic herb patches, elastic hair bands, elastic bungie bands, breast pads, little pink sticky notes, seals and labels for all plastic bags in the kitchen and bath. It feels like skin, very stretchy with waffle pattern adhesive. Itmay be intended for stage make-up or wig concealment. All I know is that I have a lifetime supply, 2400 feet per roll, and I bought the other one cause no one wanted it. I hope I never run out of it, it has become indespensable to me now.
I have a really girly laptop bag that I adore - and actually found through DivineCaroline's Found It, Loved It! The brand name is Nanda and from the outside, it looks like a normal, cute tote with pink flowers and a cream and brown background. The zipper that holds the laptop is practically hidden and rest of the bag is large enough to fit all my workout gear. I use it every day!
My latest product find is my Erin Condren calendar. The format for the weeks is exactly how I like it, you get tons of stickers, unique paper clips, a bookmark and cover that are personalized with your name. You can pick from a number of different colors. I carry it with me everywhere.
While it's not particularly niche or out of the ordinary, I absolutely love my Sigg water bottle. It's convenient to stuff in my purse, never spills, and keeps drinks cold (or hot). I also adore my camelbak for skiing and hiking. I sense a trend...
