Eureka! Why didn't I "discover" these products sooner?!

CRZ YOGA line on Amazon. I got the Naked Feeling Workout Leggings and have been very happy for the price. $26 is a bargain for decently made, soft, nice fitting leggings.

This is a line that’s “inspired by” Lululemon. The fabrics are similar and IMO the pants look great. The only small gripe I could see about the quality would be that the bottom of the tights is not hemmed. They haven’t frayed so far and it’s even so it doesn’t look bad, but not sure how that will wear over time. For this price, though, it’s an OK tradeoff. I’m going to order some of their different products in this line next.

Not new but new to me - Yasso Frozen Yogurt bars. Only 100 calories plus portion controlled for a little indulgence. I’ve only tried the coffee chocolate chip flavor thus far but they are pretty good!

Flex Seal, Flex Glue etc has a new entrant called Flex Paste. Looks really good. Anybody tried it?

In cleaning out my cupboard as part of S helping us de-clutter the house, we found some sample “BreatheRight” strips. They were samples we got over a decade prior. I reminded H that he had liked them, so he’s been wearing them the past few nights and really likes them. We just bough two more boxes of them from Costco so we can all try them.

They have an adhesive and metal strip to help lift and separate your nasal passages. When H puts it on, he can feel a difference and I notice he doesn’t snore when wearing them! Yay! Will give them a try tonight, as I’m told I snore too.

H says sometimes he can use the same breathing strip for 2 nights while sometimes adhesive won’t stick the 2nd night.

No opinion on the paste, but we tried Flexseal spray on a leaky cover above our deck, and it beat silicone from a tube gun by a huge margin.

Crea clip to cut my own hair. I would have liked this when cutting my kids’ hair years ago. I just purchased this recently and cut my medium long hair in 3 layers by myself. I’m so glad I bought it! I saw it on a shark tank rerun from years ago.

A six cherry, cherry pitter! Works perfectly - doesn’t crush the cherries, catches the pits and juice so there’s no mess. Even works on olives and latches closed so it fits in a drawer https://www.amazon.com/Locisne-Revolutionary-Cherry-Pitter-Olive/dp/B072JSRJ3B/

ReColor by Rustoleum! This stuff is just amazing! We have a several pieces of cast aluminum patio furniture that are 12+ years old and after being in the Texas sun for years are really showing it’s age. The black finish has turned a light dusty gray and it just feels dirty. I tried everything, pressure washing, cleaning with various cleaners and concoctions even acetone. Nothing worked, the best result was from applying paste wax but that was very time consuming and almost impossible to get the wax out of all the groves and swirls. The results weren’t worth the effort.

I was just about to give up and get an estimate on having it all (10 chairs, 1 large table and 2 small ones) powder coated when I stumbled across ReColor. I read the reviews and watched you tube videos and decided to give it a shot. It seemed a little pricey but it would be a whole lot cheaper than powder coating, even if it just helped enough so I could put it powder coating off for a little longer, it would be worth it. I didn’t have high expectations.

The reviews cautioned about getting leaking and dried out bottles so I made sure to get it locally at Ace Hardware https://www.acehardware.com/departments/home-and-decor/cleaning-and-disinfectants/specialty-cleaners/1014548 so I could return it if it was defective. To my surprise the package I got didn’t have the bottle as the reviews mentioned but instead had sealed packets of wet wipe type clothes and the smell wasn’t nearly as bad as people had commented on. I was shocked how well these little clothes worked!

It’s been almost two weeks now with the furniture in the sun and rain and it still looks like it did when it was just applied! Best of all the tables and chairs FEEL clean and I don’t cringe when I put my arms on the armrests! We used it on the legs of the fire pit and some plastic stuff too. The fire pit legs came out great but don’t used it on any tarnished surfaces like copper or brass as it will just seal in the tarnish and the only way to get it off is with very fine sand paper! Surprisingly, my plastic stuff, although improved wasn’t as dramatic a difference. Next we’re going to try it on the front porch railings!

cute dryer balls that look like little porcupines…they are reusable and take the place of dryer sheets/fabric softener–although I never used fabric softener before.
