Self-Adhesive Super Klip to the Rescue

Posted by: corine In: organizing

Clips, hooks, baskets, racks – we adore stuff that helps us organize and contain our busy lives. After piling several tote bags used for work, gym, travel, etc., on the floor, I installed Self-Adhesive Super Clips.

It’s Raining Pepper: the Magnum

Posted by: monique In: kitchen

The Magnum isn’t especially pretty, but it’s one of the best workhorses in the kitchen. Its specialty? Pepper. Loads and loads of glorious pepper. Just the smallest twist makes freshly ground pepper rain down on whatever you’re cooking.

What’s the big whoop with that yellow bagless vacuum that’s powered by a tiny cyclone? I think the real triumph of suction engineering is Roomba. I mean, it’s a robot, for crying out loud.
I used to be among the poor suckers who used an upright vac to clean their floors - until I got smart. [...]

Color Coated Tomato Knife, a Serrated Dream

Posted by: corine In: kitchen

When a sincere, sweet, soccer mom purchases a display at the town fair for her Pampered Chef business, it’s only polite to stop and look through her brochure (OK, so some Stuff We Adore staffers are suckers for catalog shopping). In the newest offerings was a bright green tomato knife, the Color Coated Tomato Knife.

Ped Egg

Posted by: monique In: personal gooming

We admit, we’re closet QVC watchers. We like to convince ourselves we only land on the station while brushing our teeth and channel surfing. But when we saw the Ped Egg demonstration, we brushed, rinsed and sat down on the corner of the bed to watch people with scratchy feet slough away layers of dead [...]
