Happy Friday!!! Happy Favorite Things Friday!!! New readers, I let my serious side go on Fridays, and I keep it light and airy. I describe three things, songs, websites, food sources, etc. that I just delight in. Please check out previous Fridays for more delicious ideas for how to spice up your life. And please share your own recommendations in my comments section! My “favorite things pile” is depleting fast, especially as I try to simplify and pare down my clutter and just my life in general.
Here we go, Friday, here we go:
Double Doggie – Most of us who love pets, see animals like we see potato chips or cookies – you can’t just have one. As my regular readers and friends know, we have two big dogs. Ralphie, is our energy-filled 82-pound labrador retriever and Josie, is our sweet and nosy, 60-some pound collie. I purchased the Double Doggie at an animal charity event years ago and I am so happy that I did. You see, I have gotten a concussion walking Ralphie as he walked me right off of my feet and Josie is a herding dog. My next concussion is probably going to come from Josie tripping me. The Double Doggie is a swivel handle that holds both dogs’ leashes and allows the dogs to be walked together, even as Ralphie’s nose takes him into 500 different directions and as Josie tries to herd Ralphie, me, and all of the toads on our sidewalks, all at once, as we are walking. Worth every penny!
Fanola No Yellow Shampoo – If your hair has the tendency to get brassy like my hair does, and you don’t feel like going to your hair salon every two weeks for a tone-down job, this shampoo does the trick! It is very, very purple shampoo that keeps the brass, by-passed. Just be careful, because although it doesn’t stain, the deep dark purple color of the shampoo has a tendency to land all over the bathroom for some reason and it looks alarming, like it will stain. Overall, cheap and magnifique!
Hookless Brand Shower Curtains – We are having a couple of our bathrooms renovated and I just bought one of these shower curtains for my daughter’s bathroom. This is one of those “no duh” inventions that you can’t imagine why it wasn’t thought of earlier than in the last few years. How many times did I mismatch the holes in the liner with the holes in my shower curtain and then have to do and re-do the fancy little hooks (praying I didn’t lose one, or that one of the hooks would break or rust) when I didn’t have Hookless shower curtains?? Countless times! Hanging my shower curtain before my Hookless shower curtain, seemed to take years, and it was a huge lesson in patience and frustration. I hung the new Hookless shower curtain in three minutes, tops. The liner just snaps on the back of it, making the liner easy to remove and to clean. There are so many pretty patterns to choose from. Love it!!
周末愉快 – According to Quora, this is Happy Friday in Chinese! Happy Friday, my dear friends and readers! Have yourself a fabulous weekend . . . if you want to!
