Lysol Complete Clean Power Toilet Bowl Cleaner

Lysol Complete Clean toilet bowl cleaner makes me feel like I'm the only girl in the world, like I'm the only one that it's ever loved, like I'm the only one who knows it's heart. And I am pretty sure Rihanna uses this stuff too, because she practically wrote a whole song about it. I used to love Ka-boom. Ka-boom changed my life and made me a better person, but Lysol Complete Clean rocked my world. Lysol Complete Clean works as well as Ka-boom, but costs way less, and doesn't make me inhale toxic powder. Of course, I will always miss Ka-boom for it's excitement, energy and explosiveness.  But Lysol Complete Clean is dependable and true and is the kind of toilet bowl cleaner you can take home to your mother. It's the kind you want to spend the rest of your life with.

In my downstairs bathroom, I have a very old, troubled toilet. It's seen better days. It's terribly slow at flushing, so it gets major hard water stains and just generally looks dingy. It's always been so hard to clean. But then I met Lysol Complete Clean and everything changed. I just squirt it around the bowl, leave it for a little bit, and then come back and do a quick swipe with the toilet brush. Looks like new. Nothing else I have tried has worked this well. The only minus is if you spill some on the seat, and you don't wipe it up right away, it will stain the seat blue. I did this about a month ago and I can still see the blue. But it's shows I cleaned, so I'm proud of it. No relationship is perfect. I'm still in love, the lasting kind.

Kashi Mayan Harvest Bake

Before you ask, yes, I ALWAYS eat my lonely, pre-made, microwave lunches off a real plate with a healthy garnish of fresh parsley. It's what civilized people do. Only cavemen eat their microwave dinners from the plastic container they nuked them in. Okay?
I want to tell you about my favorite thing, Kashi Mayan Harvest Bake. I am pretty sure this is what actual and authentic Mayans ate, because it is delicious. Kashi makes an excellent frozen entree. The Mayan Harvest Bake is a revelation. It's all natural, it's VEGAN (which I also am, for select meals), it's got 18g of whole grains, 8g of fiber, 9g of protein and a million g of flavor. I feel so healthy and eco-friendly when I am eating this. The stigma of eating a microwave dinner, all alone, in front of the TV, in your underwear, totally dissolves for Kashi's treasures. Instead of appearing to be a socially-impaired slob, I look like an enlightened yogi while consuming these. They are great for my image. But most importantly, it is delicious. It is made with plantains, black beans, sweet potato, kale, 7grain pilaf, amaranth, polenta, and spicy ancho sauce, all sprinkled with roasted pumpkin seeds. It's sweet and spicy and satisfying and makes me love Oregon. It makes me want to go hug a tree for dessert. They are so good, I would TOTALLY pay $7.99 to have this in a restaurant (of course, then I would also expect a side salad with house dressing, a refillable bread basket, and cloth napkins, but the fact remains).
I think you should try this, but if it doesn't sound like your thang, honorable mention goes to Lemon Grass Coconut Chicken and Tuscan Veggie Bake. Kashi makes a bunch of these things and I have been impressed with all the ones I have tried.

Popsicle Mighty Minis

Mini Popsicles, Car's Chicken Noodle Soup (Campbell's) and a plastic Christmas Jell-O mold--The perfect trio of heroes to battle a toddler's stomach flu. I didn't know this until my friend Sarah came to our rescue, but I'll never forget it. The soup and the Jell-O mold are self-explanatory, so I'd like to tell you about these awesome little Popsicles. First of all, they are small, surprisingly small, but they don't come with a mini price tag. They cost the same as a regular-size Popsicle, which may bug you a bit, until you finally see a look of recognition on your listless child for the first time in 9 hours as you waive the box in front of their despondent face. And the size is just right for a sick toddler who can only tolerate the tiniest amount of substance before it's all over the floor again. They also have just the right proportion of stick to Popsicle, so that a chubby little fist can hold it without freezing it's fingers and causing another sick toddler melt-down (no pun intended). The other thing I love about them is that they are slow melting, due to the added gelatin. This means a glassy-eyed little one can go into a hypnotic trance while watching Howard's End in your lap at 3:30 a.m., and the vomit all over your Pj's won't be contaminated with a single drop of melting Popsicle. For me, they are the new staple for taking care of my ailing little ones.
