Nearly four years ago, we posted about Laundry Spa Special Stain Remover. It's meant just for those delicate times of the month when, sometimes, Tampax and Always don't live up to their promises, and, well, erm, you know the rest. Astute commenter Kelly let us... [More]
This doesn't need a lot of explanation, friends. The Dust Bunny ($15) is just that - a bunny for dusting. A bit kitschy, yes, but anything that makes us smile while we clean is a welcome addition to our lives.... [More]
Are you a bra hand-washer or do you just toss them into the regular cycle with the rest of your clothes? We admit to the latter, but have noticed that our brassieres are drastically torn and tattered after each wash. Bra Saver ($16) to the... [More]
If you're fearful of burning down your apartment, or if you live somewhere you can't light candles (hey there, dorm-dwellers!), there's still an elegant solution to keeping your space smelling fresh. Agraria TasselAire ($40) is a perfumed tassel you can hang virtually anywhere, and is... [More]
Incense is for our hippie cousins, and candles are lovely, but damn do we have a lot of them. Febreeze seems so industrial, and our outlets are too full for plug-ins. We never realized we were looking for a new way to make our home... [More]

Laundry sucks. But, since we can't just perpetually buy new clothes, we do it. (In fact, we've been doing it all weekend - what about you?) Anything that comes along to make laundry easier instantly piques our interest, and Method Laundry Detergent ($15) is getting... [More]
RKS Laundry POD ($Inquire) offers a "fresh spin on laundry," and we're taken aback by its sleek design.

A dustbuster that's a work of art? Forget our old Kone, we're displaying our Alessi Handheld Vacuum ($169) front and center in the kitchen. Crafted from stainless steel and white thermoplastic resin, it comes with a wet nozzle (handy for spilled bevvies at parties) and... [More]
Mmmm we love the smell of coffee in the morning. Waking up to the natural scents of Red Leaf Room Spray ($14) sounds awesome too. Fake flowery fragrance can only go so far, but aromas like Basil Lime, Black Tea, Fresh Clover, and Beach will... [More]
Somewhere in your domicile, you probably have a bottle of liquid hand soap depicting flowers, tropical fish, or citrus fruit, but it's an entirely different kind of visual association we're after. This GIANTmicrobes soap dispenser ($10) is shaped like a gigantic, cutified rhinovirus - a... [More]
As sexist as it sounds, every girl (and guy!) needs to know how to do some basic sewing repairs, like stitching on a button, darning a sock, and a basic straight hem. Designer Fiona Hewitt's campy-cute Sew Nice! Sewing Kit ($16) has all the basics... [More]
We've all been there: you're checking the internet in the a.m., (Of course, Outblush is your homepage!) noshing on some breakfast, and then... You realize you've scattered crumbs all over your desk. Whip out the USB Upright Vac Desktop Vacuum Cleaner ($15) and plug it... [More]
Is it a gift for them... or really, for you? Give your honey or roommate this Do the Dishes Teatowel ($17) with a guileless-enough smile on your face, and they might never know, but they will get the hint. No more dishpan hands for you,... [More]
Your dainties deserve a lot more than dumping them into the washing machine with a load of jeans and industrial strength detergent... after all, don't you want the layer closest to your skin to feel good & look good - and for that matter, smell... [More]

Limit laundry disasters with the self-explanatory organization of the nylon canvas O.R.E. HamperTote ($40). Just the other day we accidentally ruined our delicate white lace blouse in the color load (talk about a blonde moment). We never have to worry about a load mix up... [More]
Sick of ruining expensive lingerie in botched laundry missions? Try the Fragrance Starter Kit ($29, available at FreshPair.com) by Soak, a set of hand-washing soap made especially for our unmentionables. Simply submerge your lovelies in a gallon of cold water, and add cap full of... [More]
Thank God for washing machine-friendly Woolite and the BraBall, 'cause we hate washing unmentionables by hand. An-noy-ing. But the dryer? No way. Not unless you like frayed seams, pilling silk, and underwire squeaking at inopportune moments. Save space, money, and energy with the Seletti Underwear... [More]
