Small Gems Found in the Amazon

For this review we decided it would be good to share a few of the smaller items we’ve found on Amazon. These are items we used more than we realized we would, items we think would make great gifts, items that are just plain helpful. O’Keeffes’ Hand Cream: Ah winter… how my hands loathe the cold and dry air you bring. I’ve been adverse to hand creams because I always found them greasy, sticky, or, most importantly, ineffective. But with my job and being out in the cold half the time I found the last few years my hands have […]

Project: Lemon and Salt

I have had a few DIY cleaning solutions and at home recipes come up in my feed lately. And this one in particular I was interested in because I actually did something similar a few years ago. So lets try a new project! Okay so occasionally I get in my feed at home cleaning solutions or how to use your food scrapes.Sometimes they look like they could work, others seem to good to be true (Looking at you 5-minute Crafts).When this one about Lemons cleaning came up I was like sure lets try it, especially since there was a leftover […]

Mission: The Public Bathroom

Public Bathrooms are a necessary but not an enjoyable adventure. Though some are just fine using the communal lou, for others its a process. You got the squatters, the tons of toilet paper as a layer, the sanitizers or maybe you do it all. Though one of my favourite bathrooms I went to had a button on the floor that moved a plastic layer for a clean seat. Anyway point of my story is some of us like a little protection. And one thing I like is toilet seat covers. I do see them more in the States then in […]

Mission: Gluten Free Stuffing

Let’s talk about Stuffing. That wonderful seasoned crumbed bread that you have with a delicious turkey. Or if you are like me can eat on its own for a full carb treat. Oh so good! The problem though is some of us are intolerant or allergic to that perfect food and need other options. But Stuffing is just not that easy to replicate in a Gluten-Free way. Our household though has been on the hunt for a stove top version for a while. We have tried a couple of different ones over the last few years and some have been […]

Where’s the Ramen?-Gluten Free Style

Lets talk about ramen! We like ramen, whether from a restaurant or going into our pantry for making it at home. It is really a comfort food. A problem though is the most common ingredients in ramen is wheat, which doesn’t work in a gluten intolerant household. But we are always on the lookout for gluten free products around here, so when we found a gluten free Ramen at Costco we had to try it. The Product: Lotus Foods Organic Millet and Brown Rice Ramen. This product is gluten free, vegan and organic. Now according to their website FAQ it […]
