Sahalie Buff Bandanas
Smart Funny Useful
Updated Mar 28, 2008
I love these. They're not really bandanas but rather multi-purpose headbands, such as hair tie, neck warmer, etc. They can also be used as face masks for motorcycle riding or burning man. These Sahalie exclusive prints are great.

Fatboy Doggy Boy Bed

These are definitely East and West's (my two Giant Schnauzers) next beds. The price is very reasonable compared to other extra-large beds. These are very durable, so maybe they'll last more than 3 months?
Update - 6 months later
Well, I got these for the two monsters. I was impressed they lasted four months.That's one month longer than usual. They definitely were the best beds I've purchased, and I've purchased many. They're really easy to clean, which is important. And things, bad things, do not stick to them. That's really, really important.

I didn't get it at first. What's the big deal? A beanbag chair is a beanbag chair.
Wrong! These put my ordinary round ones to shame. Durable nylon fabric. Extra large. And you can really sit upright in it. (via gordon)

Dr. Bronner - Castile Soap Peppermint

I recently discovered this all-purpose soap at my local organic store. It's awesome. I love it that you can use it for hair, body, hands... Makes traveling a lot easier. It also contains hemp, which concerns some of my friends in terms of passing customs when traveling abroad. I don't think this bit of hemp is going to set of any alarms, but I suppose I wouldn't know...
Can be used on pets (so they claim, but I haven't tried). Organic and not tested on animals. Thumbs up.

Coat Rack Wall-Mounted
Smart Funny Useful (1)
Updated Oct 29, 2007
Instead of tearing down a supporting wall, I turned the 3' eye-sore into a coat rack. Floor to ceiling wood matching the hall and kitchen. All I have to do is add some modern hooks, and the structure will look intentional. I now like this solution more than not having a structure in this space.

Rainboots Yellow
Smart Funny Useful (2)
Updated Oct 14, 2007
This is the seventh pair I've bought in two years (yes, a little obsessive)... But I do wear these almost everyday, and they get chewed up by dogs sometimes. I'm going for the classic yellow this time. Easy to find in the yard if dogs use them as rubber toys.
I love the $19.99 price too!

I am way too old to be sporting these out at night, but dude, the fact that I ordered the exact same pair I owned 20 years ago impresses even me. Same size, same style. Didn't matter if it's in or not. I had to wear it, just because I could!

Punk Lolita

I have this dress. Bought it for Burning Man. I didn't wear it too long... It was actually too tame. (I know.) But I love it. It fits super well. Has just the right amount of layer. And I love the plaid details. Reminds me so much of my punk days. (Did I tell you I had a blue mohawk once? Boy, was I ugly!)

We've gone through Nike, Adidas, Puma, and now Vans. I think Converse is the next 'it' shoe. Or should I say, I 'want' it to be. I love their new fall collection, in particular the 'hard to find' items on their site. This boot comes in a lighter color (on their site), which is fabulous. You can buy with or without faux fur. But fur is the 'in' thing this fall, so of course, buy the ones with fur (But careful, try not to wear too much fur all over your body. You'll end up looking like a fur trader.)
I also love their custom design section. You can design your own shoes. I know Nike has this, but Converse is so much more fun to design.

It started with how I almost killed my dogs. And the wild birds. And the cat across the street. I bought some 'old English formula' and literally caused a snail genocide in my yard, but seeing all the dead snails and slugs got me to re-read the label. Also kills dogs, children and wildlife.
After that, I spent days researching organic means to killing the S+S (snails and slugs). It is a very long story, and somewhat humorous, as it does involve beer, torture and chickens. (If you want to read, go to http://grenadefishing.com/random-tips/2006/6/1/snails-slugs-oh-my.html.)
Now to Sluggo, what I'm supposed to talk about. It's iron-based and non-toxic, so it doesn't harm the environment, the dogs or the wildlife. The S+S eat the stuff, are fooled into thinking they are full, crawl back to their quarters and die of starvation. I know, it sounds cruel. (Until you hear the other methods, this is pretty nice, actually.)
Seriously, Sluggo works very well. Very easy to use and messy-free. I highly recommend it.

the indispensible bungee cord
Smart (3) Funny (1) Useful (2)
Updated Sep 13, 2006
One of the most useful tools to have around. I love inventions that are simple, yet they serve many purpose to make everyday life a little easier. What/how I use(d) my bungees...
Holds down the stainless cooler in SUV
Keeps shade structure intact at Burning Man.
Holds multiple the sleeping bags together
Holds down car trunk door for large items.
Keeps the temporary shower caddy steady.
Bundles my firewood for easy transport.
Stabilize fragile items during drive.
Extra lock mechanism for storage bins.
Moveable hanger for garden hose.
Moved large bamboo on top of car.
Bands long cables (smaller bungees).
A temporary clothesline inside my tent.
A temporary clothesline outside my tent (tree to tree).
Held up my neighbor's tree to our fence.
Tied down giant ice block to bicycle.
Dog chew toy (not by choice).
Once, I got mad at my boyfriend for doing physical work, as he has a bad back. I bungeed him down to a lawn chair.

Square Storage Box

Updated Nov 11, 2006
Open my garage, and you will see rows of these, all labeled with descriptions of items stored. They keep things clean, safe and organized. Plastic is tough enough to stack safely. Great for seasonal items, such as holiday paper and ribbon, and they're also great for the extras, such as serving plates and serveware.

5x8 Greek Flokati Wool Shag Rug
Smart (2) Funny Useful (2)
Updated Nov 11, 2006
I had an ivory one, which I loved. It's now "natural earth" color and belongs to the puppies. I love the feeling of shag rugs under my toes. This one is $109 (I paid lots more). If you have a large space, I recommend putting two side by side. Because it's shag, you can't tell they're two, and the super size looks amazing.

toss-around ice cream maker
Smart (1) Funny Useful
Updated Dec 9, 2006
This item is so much fun. You simply add ice, rock salt, creme, sugar and vanilla to create homemade ice cream. The best is no electricity needed. You just toss these around for 15-20 minutes, and voila, ice cream! So much fun for kids and adults. Also great for camping trips too! On special for $24 at the moment. Regular $30.

Updated Dec 11, 2006
I would say best steak knives for the price. $79 for a set of four is not bad at all. Comes in black and ivory as well. I personally love the red. I never understood the steak knives thing, until I used the Laguoiles. One word of caution... They're too sharp for hot dogs.
