As much as we love searching for new pretty things to buy, we have to stay conscious of the pretty things we already own. We'd recommend investing in a Commercial Garment Steamer ($225). It's what the pro designers and shop owners use for most garments,... [More]
I scream, you scream, we all scream when we realize this isn't ice cream! Well, not exactly. We actually think these Ice Cream Towels ($4) are pretty cute for party favors at showers - bridal, baby, or otherwise. You can even personalize the labels to... [More]
What's new pussycat? We know your cat leads a pretty pampered existence, but one product that hasn't evolved to our liking is the unlovely Litter Box. Someone heard our plea, though, and designed this fantastic ModKat Litter Box ($180). Boasting bold colors, a sleek modern... [More]
We never thought we'd ever say this about one of the most utilitarian items in a kitchen, but this dish drying rack is positively adorable! This shabby chic Washing & Hoping & Dreaming Dish Rack ($43) might actually make hand washing dishes a bit less... [More]
So you took everyone's advice and finally splurged on a decanter, and annoyingly all of those winos who deemed it essential turned out to be right. But after you've enjoyed your favorite Syrah, you're faced with the daunting task of cleaning this incredibly fragile and... [More]

Maybe you have tiny, graceful hands, but we don't. Every time we go to hand wash our wine glasses, we're terrified of breaking them when we reach a sponge or dish brush down in there to get out the dregs of merlot - because, well,... [More]
Chalk the Broom Groomer ($10, available for pre-order) up in the "If we'd thought of this, we'd be rich" files. It may look like a standard broom-and-dustpan set, but just like all superheroes, it's more than what it seems. The dustpan handle has a built-in... [More]
Scrub-a-dub-dubbing without soap seems a bit counterintuitive, but Goodbye Detergent's Spaghetti Scrubs ($11) have natural abrasives that clean your pots, pans, counters, and so on without a need for any additional cleaning agents! The strands of these scrubs are made of natural items like corn... [More]
We thought bringing toxic chemicals into our home was our only choice after our pet had an accident, but the Simple Solution Natural Pet Stain & Odor Eliminator ($9) gives us another option. As if the precious pooch portrait and vintage typeface wasn't appealing enough,... [More]
We may be anything but Suzy Homemakers around here, but that doesn't mean we don't appreciate housewifely tips and tricks. Here are ten of the Outblush editors' favorites for your (hopeful) edification. Got some of your own to share? Tell us in the comments below!... [More]
The best way to describe the scent of Caldrea Sandalwood Riceflower cleaning products and lotions ($9-42)? Fresh and delicious, just like the first breaths of spring after a long, yucky winter. Redolent with sweet bergamot, riceflower, and mandarin and gentle whiffs of rosebud and lavender,... [More]
Maybe laundry will lose some of its evil looming powers in the Fresh Cut Flowers Laundry Bag ($30). Encircled in a ring of pretty skinny stems and dainty flowers, our dirty duds are gonna have to totally reek to get us down in this thing.... [More]
Did you know that it's actually a really, really bad idea to clean non-stick pots and pans with regular dish scrubbers and scour pads? Over time, they can scratch off the nonstick coating, which can in turn release hazardous chemical fumes the next time you... [More]
Behold, the great recycling Death Star egg! The Ovetto Recycling Bin ($199) is a stylish solution for small spaces that don't have room for ugly, bulky recycling bins. Three lidded compartments keep glass, aluminum, and paper neatly separated, and doors on the side of each... [More]
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]
