Heart #103 goes to...Tea Carousel from Get Organized!

Heart #103 goes to...Tea Carousel from Get Organized!  Since I have stopped drinking coffee I drink a lot of tea.  I have boxes and boxes of different teas in my cabinet and I think this would keep it a little neater.  It fits 60 tea bags and only costs $2.99 (was $14.99).  I might get two because I really think it will give me more space.

Heart #91 goes to...Crate and Barrel's Egg-Perfect Egg Timer



Heart #91 goes to...Crate and Barrel's Egg-Perfect Egg Timer!  This is the best $4.95 you will ever spend.  We love hard boiled eggs and egg salad so I use this all the time.  You simply put your eggs and this color changing egg timer in a pot, add water and start to boil.  "The timer takes into account the number of eggs, water used, altitude and your desired level of cooked egg, from soft- to hard-boiled".  As your eggs cook, the red color turns black starting from the outer edges.  I think this is great!  This makes a great stocking stuffer or wishing well gift for a bridal shower!

Heart #86 goes to...Baby Yogurt Yogorino

Heart #86 goes to...Baby Yogurt Yogorino!  I was at the mall the other day and was happy to stumble upon something new in the food court...Baby Yogurt!  This is a franchise that has made it's way from Italy, where it originated, to the US.  There is another one in Beverly Hills, CA one in Philadelphia, PA one in White Plains, NY and the girl there told me that they will be opening one in Connecticut somewhere.  This stuff is really good.  I had the chocolate with carob chips, my mother in law had coffee flavor with toasted coconut.  They have a bunch of different toppings including something that I haven't seen before.  It's called mochi and it is "Japanese rice cake made of glutinous rice pounded into paste and molded into shape".  They are cut into tiny little cubes and they are soft and chewy.  I had the girl give me a sample and I like it.  Here's kind of what it looks like...



From what I read, Baby Yogurt is giving Pinkberry some competition.  Other locations around the world besides Italy are...Greece, Germany, Spain, Dubai, Japan, and Korea.

Heart #83 goes to...The Headache Relieving Wrap by Hammacher Schlemmer


**Update for this post: I changed the picture associated with this product...I couldn't take looking at the guy with the wrap on his head...my husband thought it was creepy too.  So I found this picture...it's not the actual product, but if you really need to see it, click on the link below... :)
Heart #83 goes to...The Headache Relieving Wrap by Hammacher Schlemmer!  I almost didn't want to add this picture but I couldn't find a better one.  And maybe the fact that I have a huge migraine right now made me feel that this post was necessary.  This sells for $49.95 and here's what I like about it.  When I have a headache, there's nothing more comforting than something cold on my forehead or on my head.  I always get comfortable on the couch and hubby brings me a bag of frozen peas or coffee beans and I balance it on my head.  I must look pretty funny.  Well, with this I can move around and not worry about my beans falling off my head.  It comes with 3 reusable gel packs that can be heated or frozen and inserted into the headband.  I wish I had this right now!

Heart #73 goes to...Bosom Button

Heart #73 goes to...Bosom Button!  I have to order a few of these.  There have been so many times when a shirt just didn't fit right.  So you start looking for the right camisole, or if that doesn't work you begin the dreaded search for a safety pin.  And then the safety pin requires a few tries before it looks right.  Bosom Button takes all of that frustration away and how cute are these buttons?  Simply push the pin through the fabric and fasten the clasp.  You can even keep one handy in your pocketbook in case you ever lose a button. 
They are made with Swarovski crystals, quality pearls or gems.  They sell in collections of three for $25 dollars or individually for $12 dollars each, and they come in all of the following...

                                       


                                                         
Secure a low cut blouse...

                                                                         
or even a sarong!
