There are some products in this world that just deserve a "thank you for existing". And the first one is MAC's cremesheen glass lipgloss. I love it! It's not sticky or gritty, and it doesn't make my lips feel like they're on fire. I have ultra-sensitive skin, so many lipsticks and glosses are simply painful to wear.
Second is my Pampered Chef food chopper. Pow, pow, pow! And it's done. Nuts, onions, celery, anything. AND it's top rack dishwasher safe. I don't want anything that I have to wash by hand, that's why electricity was invented.
Vinegar. Just plain old-fashioned white vinegar. It goes in the laundry instead of fabric softener to keep things from getting static-y without getting gummy. I clean with it, keep drains clear and make salad dressing with it ( unless I want flavored vinegar). And it's cheap!
Bath and Body Works hand sanitizers. I've been using them since my kids were little, and still keep them in the car and in my purse. My latest favorite is "Midnight Pomegranite". Yum!
And the last one for today, an herb called "Maca". I started taking it a couple of months ago for hot flashes. I don't think it cools down my body, but it sure cools down my temper! And gives an energy boost, too, without drugs. Now if I could just find the right herbal solution to the hot flashes. Black cohosh root doesn't seem to be working.
The one product I want back is the instant mashed potatoes that Costco used to sell. No sulfites, cheap, and delicious! Better than any other instant, and sometimes better than homemade because they don't get lumpy. But they're gone, gone gone! COSTCO: please, please, please! bring them back. They've been gone from my pantry for a couple of years now, and my mid-life mind has forgotten the brand name. But they were the best ever.
