OMG Lindt excellence a touch of sea salt

I had really reserved this blog for my online sales but I'm cross posting this because my boss turned me on to this today and WOW is all I can say. If you like dark chocolate and salt this is a must have try. 
Who would have thought that dk chocolate and salt together would be so good. Definetly worth a try if you like dark chocolate.cheapest I found is Walmart for 2.50 ( I was lucky and there was a tear pad of coupons for this product nearby so that only cost me $2 a bar.)

Tupperware Fridgesmart containers - Good value for your money and great for the planet.

Not only do these containers help your food to last longer but as a result it saves you money and saves waste of our precious resources.

These are some of the first Fridgesmart containers to come out.
They are the small size and measure 6" x 6" x 3 1/2"
they hold about 4 1/2 cups.

Fruits and vegetables have different airflow needs when stored in the fridge. You can regulate the airflow within the container and maintain peak freshness thanks to a unique venting system. A special built-in grid lifts food away from condensation.
Textured seal reduces sliding when containers are stacked.

Fruits and vegetables are divided into 3 groups - High Breathers (leave both vents open), Medium Breathers (leave one vent open, one closed), and Low Breathers (keep both vents closed)

High (or Heavy!) Breathers include:
Artichokes
Broccoli
Brussels Sprouts
Endive
Peas (including Snow Peas)
Spinach
Sweet Corn (dehusked)

Medium Breathers include:
Vegetables
Beans (including Snap Beans and String Beans)
Cabbage
Cauliflower
Fresh Herbs
Fresh Shallots
Green Onions
Greens (Collard, Kale and Swiss Chard)
Leeks
Lettuce, all types
Fruits
Ripe Apples
Citrus (including Grapefruit, Orange, Mandarin, Lemon, Tangerine and Lime)
Ripe Pears
Peppers (including Bell, Sweet, Hot and others)
Low Breathers include:
Vegetables
Asparagus
Beet Root
Button Mushrooms
Carrots
Celery
Cucumbers
Okra
Radishes
Rutabaga
Summer Squash
Turnips
Zucchini
Fruits
Ripe Berries
All other ripe fruit not included in medium category
All fresh cut fruit
these have been used but I can tell you they haven't been used much. I bought these new when they came out and have been holding onto them for years and now I'm cleaning out cupboards and these are among the first victims of my cleaning spree.
They still seem to seal well and are in good condition. These sell for $15 each on the tupperware website.
this listing is for a set of two of these small fridgesmart containers.

Another money saver

I've got these listed on my ecrater site right now

These are one ounce containers. 
When I travel, especially if I'm coming through the airport I take my face lotion in one of these. Seriously unless your planning a 3 month hiatus somewhere, one oz is enough to get you through. 
I've never had a problem flying with these. 
I even use one of these when I want to have pancakes ( I use it to bring my peanut butter) for breakfast at the airport. It's only an ounce an TSA never has a problem with it.
The circular lid from Tupperware means it's virtually watertight.
This is the smidget from tupperware.
check my ecrater site link for my two on sale.

Folks this items is a time saver and money saver for you.

I just uploaded this to my bonanza selling site. 
Folks this is one oft the best money saving gadgets you can own if you travel a lot.
TSA has a cap of 3.4 oz per container of liquids, pastes or gels that you can carry on the plane. (don't blame  TSA, blame the nutjobs intent on blowing us up.) 
I work post security on a retail airside. 
Do you know how many people I sell stuff to because they forgot that simple rule. 
Buy your full size and leave it at home. Buy the empty small travel size bottles, I get mine at walmart for .99 each and then fill my hand lotion from my big bottle and bring it back and forth thru TSA all the time. It's not a hassle if you know the rules.



50 year olds still got it.

Not bad for 52 and 54. I think my old lady legs look good a little white but otherwise they look good.

Scarf Tying for Dummies

I am one of the most fashion-ally challenged women I know. When I go to buy my dress for my husband's Christmas party every year I take my 17 year old with me because other wise I end up looking like a frumpy old housewife instead of the 52 old with relatively nice looking legs.
So when I decided to add additional pix for the scarves I had for sale on etsy I consulted the web and found a bevy of possibilities  So if I can do this, then anyone with a lot more fashion sense then I have, will end up making these scarves look gorgeous on anyone.






This scarf as well as several others in different color combinations are available at my etsy site.
