Post 10 of new/unusual/amazing/interesting items for you to look over!

Here is Post 10 of new/unusual/amazing/interesting items for you to look over! Enjoy!--Tips


This is goats milk. Might be a good alternative for people who are lactose intolerant. I am not sure if that is ok or not. No expert on lactose intolerance. Would be interesting to taste it and see what it tastes like. Seen in Harris Teeter.


This says stabilizer for whipped cream.....never used this before. I guess it makes your whipped topping stiff? Not sure. Seen in Harris Teeter.

Vanilla Sugar....never heard or seen this before. Seen in Harris Teeter

Now these are dried egg whites....I would imagine it has a pretty good longevity. Seen in Harris Teeter.


I would think about buying this b/c I always let the buttermilk go to waste before I end up using it. I have the best of intentions but it always ends up that way during the holidays at least. This powdered mix would end that problem! Buttermilk is too expensive to waste.....Seen in Harris Teeter.

This is a block of fridge freshener....this is one step up from the box of powder..Seen in Harris Teeter.




I am not familiar with Xanthan Gum. I have never had it before.Says it is a thickener for gravies, stews and sauces. Seen in Harris Teeter.

These are flavors for your coffee that you squeeze into your coffee cup. Seen in Harris Teeter.


                         Iced coffee and individual Starbucks coffee packets.Seen in Harris Teeter.


Caramel, Mocha individual packets shown above. Italian Roast, Columbia and Decaf seen in other pic. Seen in Harris Teeter.


This looked like a nice bundt cake keeper to me. Seen in Harris Teeter.


I actually bought this glass casserole dish with handles. It was on sale for $5. Seen in Harris Teeter.



I bought this glass meatloaf or banana bread pan with handles as well. It was only $5. Pyrex is a good brand and I have never seen glass baking dishes with cut out handles before. Seen in Harris Teeter.


This is an egg poacher. Never seen one like this but I am not one to poach eggs. Seen in Harris Teeter.


This nifty little clip holds your spoon in place on the side of the pot. Seen in Harris Teeter.

Post 8 of New/ Amazing/ Interesting/Unusual Items for you to look over......Enjoy!---Tips






This was a new type of plant I saw....it has striped leaves....in the Southern Living collection....I didn't know they had a plant collection did you?....seen at Lowes.


This was another variety of plant I was not familiar with....it was a miniature hosta I believe. Maybe elephant ear. Have to look closer at the tag. Seen in Lowes.




This is nice if you want to take rootings of plants and you put some of it in a glass with some water ( read instructions) ....easy way to get new plants going....gives them a boost.


These are asparagus ferns. I live in a mild climate but these can endure the coldest days of winter.I have had many out in the yard unprotected and they do fine ( but our lows are mild...30's usually)....have switched from boston ferns that die pretty easily if not babied to these. You might try them. Seen at Lowes.


This was another plant I had never seen before called a Corkscrew Rush. Not sure if annual or perennial but it says part sun -part shade....Seen at Lowes.

This was a type of Geranium that I have never seen before. Such pretty leaves. Geraniums are pretty hardy adn will last through a winter in my zone. Seen in Lowes.

This is sunscreen fabric.They also have it in green. It can be used over pergolas, strung from your house to another building or a piece of wood with a eye hook on it and attached with string or multiple other areas in need of shade. It can be cut to size then you can use grommets and string to hold it in place....it is pretty inexpensive....about $25 a roll. Seen at Lowes but Walmart has it too.



This is a small greenhouse for $179 but you could probably build one out of PVC and plastic sheeting for alot less. However, it is at Lowes if you want to buy it. 

 I thought this was a cool fan....it has a light and a clock.....great idea! Not sure how much. Seen at Lowes.


This is a relatively easy fencing system to install. You just push the poles into the ground and it extends out about 5.5 ft....there are two panels in a package and I think they were around $25 but don't quote me on that. It would be an easy way to enclose a garden or give you some peace of mind in the front yard with the kids playing near the street or whatever. Seen at Lowes. They have other ones that are just as easy to install.....various designs. Go check them out. I stood there debating on buying these myself for a good long time. 

This is supposedly a replacement tub/shower fixture for 8 different types of fixtures.....says universal so supposed to fit them all.Would be nice if it did. Alot of bathrooms would be better with new fixtures. Seen at Lowes.

Switching gears here a little bit....those are white asparagus on the left. Never seen them before. Not sure how they taste. They are a dollar more so it better be the YUM in YUMMY for me to pay an extra dollar for them....haha.....Seen in Harris Teeter.


This is a picture of prepackaged " fresh" herbs for you...below them are tubes of herbs in paste forms.....I have never seen nor used the tubes....would be interested to hear from someone who has. Seen in Harris Teeter



These were giant stalks of aloe vera....I had never seen them sold like that before. You can use it for various skin conditions.....lots of people swear by it. I know it is good for sunburn or various burns.Seen in Harris Teeter.

Aww a baby pineapple from South Africa. Never seen one before! Seen in Harris Teeter.

Post 7 of Amazing/New/Unusual Items for Everyday Living!

Below are several items I found just wandering around the various stores in search of new/unusual items I thought you might find helpful in your Everyday Living! Enjoy! I included some uncensored honest accessments of the products but that is just my two cents. If you love something/have used it before and liked or disliked it...speak up....won't hurt my feelings a bit and everybody wants to hear from a real person as to whether or not something is worth buying!---Tips


If that stuff works women would flock to buy it....I know I would....um, I mean my FRIEND would :) Seen in Harris Teeter.( um I mean MY FRIEND saw it in Harris Teeter.I don't need any cellulite cream...no sir! :))


Now just the fact that it is oil makes me think this would be good for your hair.....I might fall for this one myself. But good old VO5 probably would work just as well for half the price! Seen in Harris Teeter.


This is tempting. I keep seeing coconuts. I might fall for this one too. I bet it does make your hair nice and shiny and silky. Seen in Harris Teeter.


Coordinating conditioner and another variety of shampoo. Looks like it says organic. Oh I see the brown one above saying hydrating. This one says renewing. They both make you look like  a supermodel on TV, haha. Seen in Harris Teeter.


These might be a nice thing to have. Seen in Harris Teeter.


These look like if you knew what you were doing it would be fine. If not I am having flashbacks of those Godawful brushes that always caught in your hair. The round ones. Read the instructions ( or destructions as my friend calls them) if you buy this and don't wait til Prom Night to try to figure it out. Seen in Harris Teeter.


We have all seen this and wondered " what the h*ll is that?"....Well believe it or not it is a collapsible brush perfect for your purse and they usually are pretty cheap to boot! Seen in Harris Teeter.


These look kinda scary to me. Again a potential knot maker but if you can figure it out and don't wait til Prom Night I think you will be fine. It can't be THAT complicated can it?Seen in Harris Teeter.


Now these I think I can figure out. Not sure they would stay in place. I see this sucker sliding down my ponytail ( I have very fine hair)....but that's just me. Let me know if you have these or whatever. Seen in Harris Teeter.


I have no idea what this does.....is it hairspray or lotion for your skin or what? What is sea salt spray? Can't I just go to the beach and get the same effect? They lost me with this one but I am not fancy pants so maybe I am missing the latest trend but I live in a beach community so you would think I would have heard of this....then again I have been under a rock sending posts to the blog....haha..So all your fault!
Seen in Harris Teeter.( let me know if you know what it is....thanks!)


This is poorly disguised mousse. Says defines your curls. In other words holds them in place. Try it on your dime not mine.Might be best thing since sliced bread. Seen in Harris Teeter.


This is hair paste. One on left says surfs up and strong.  One on right says putty. Yikes. You do what you want. Personally I am walking away but my hair is straight down and boring. No waves like the beach on my head. Nothing that needs to be nailed down on me besides my tongue. haha. Seen in Harris Teeter.


Is this spackle or stuff for your hair? I am scared of it. Fiber Spikes says one. Mess Maker says another and  Surfer Hair says a third. Go girl go. Use jello for spikes like the punk rockers do to make the mohawks stand up. Save your money is my advice but you do what you want. They call it putty but I am scared it would be "putty hard" to get out your hair. Seen in Harris Teeter.


Suave had the sense not to use the word putty. Loreal still can't figure out why nobody is buying it and changed the packaging. To me it is the word putty that is a put off. But again my hair is stick straight. I don't deal with things like this on the regular. Tons of people probably love this stuff. Seen in Harris Teeter.
