A few of my FAVORITE things, part 3

With the holiday's approaching you might be looking for some gift ideas for you or for others.  So, let my favorites continue.  My first installment is here and the second is here.

Roomba.    I love my roomba. I wrote about it on my blog soon after I used it. Read here. This little device is  awesome for lazy people or people that are busy.  I vacuum my apartment one room at a time when I leave the house.  As much as I love it, next time I would get the higher model where you can schedule it to clean.  Irobot has a few different varieties, including ones for pets.  http://store.irobot.com/home/index.jsp

Groupon.  I have spoken about this website in the past.  It is a great place to for discounts on local things.  The first time I purchased was for a pole dance class.  There are so many daily discounts for restaurants, stores, etc.  Even better for me is that they started one a bit closer and I hope I will be able to use groupon even more.  Groupon has 164 cities they are currently working with to provide one amazing deal of the day.  The way it works is that you get the deal if so many other people agree to it - there is always a minimum number to get the deal.  If you want to sign up...you can click this link http://www.groupon.com/r/uu799440 it is my referral link.  Anyway, check out their site http://www.groupon.com/ to see if they have deals in your area.

Kitchen Aid Mixer.  I bake often and the kitchen aid mixer helps do the job.  The first time I used it, I made chocolate chip cookies, and I swear they tasted better because the ingredients were blended better.  I love the quality and durability of the mixer.  I have used all three of the attachments.  I love that you can put ingredients in and walk away for a few moments and it keeps working. I love that my hands don't vibrate because of a hand mixer.   I keep looking into getting accessories for it such as the pasta maker pieces or ice cream bowl, but I haven't so far.

The Little Penguin Wine.  I found this wine at a super small liquor store.  I don't know much about wines, so I picked by label. I like penguins.  I was very surprised how much I enjoyed the wine.  It was super reasonable in price, if not borderline cheap.  I hope to go back and buy some by the case.

Cetaphil.  My skin is super sensitive.  I have used lot of soaps/cleaners/medicines and for about 10 years I have been using Cetaphil to wash just my face.  I love. it.  It smells so clean, it lasts a long time and it does not irritate my face.  I generally use it just in the morning (and when I remember to, I use Proactive in the evening - not on a regular basis).  http://www.cetaphil.com/Products/GentleCleansingBar.aspx

Glass Plus.  I have granite counter tops in my kitchen.  The best product so far I have found to clean it is glass plus.  Nothing super fancy, but nothing damaging to the sealant.  http://www.glassplus.com/
