My jelly purses get compliments every day. I have 7 of them. I take them everywhere because they’re washable. Would you like to see them?
My favorite tripod holds both my iPhone and my iPad, even at the same time. It’s expandable to 67” tall. I’ve used it nearly every day for the past two years
My favorite tea ball, the Como Tea Llama. I use Fred every day to help me brew my loose tea.
My favorite no skid slippers. I wear them with my yoga clothes on cold tile floors while fixing breakfast.
My favorite light-weight binoculars. I use them to watch the birds across the street in between yoga asanas.
Rand’s triangle-shaped wallet. Front pocket-shaped to be more precise. Comes out of his pocket right after someone compliments one of my jelly purses.
We found a 5 setting rechargeable electric toothbrush for under $30 that comes with 6 replacement brushes. It holds a charge for over 5 weeks! You’ll want your own in your favorite color.
I was tired of gray sticky dirty scissors, so I treated myself to three pairs of 8.5” scissors with colorful handles for $10!
