Antique Furniture Perfuming Wax Polish - Poivre Noir

1 recommendation

"A perfumed furniture polish? Why YES, when it's a natural wax with essential oils in offbeat scents like 'black pepper'. You layer your scents on your body, why not in your living room too? Sexy."

Nellie's Laundry Nuggets

"I'd buy these all natural laundry nuggets just for the packaging but the product itself is amazing. One little nugget, no bigger than a quarter, cleans an entire load of wash without harsh chemicals. And they work in both top or front loading machines."

Butlers- domestic household staff

1 recommendation

"Sure Jax has a job and isn't home but wouldn't it be nice for Jax to go home to a butler?... or even better to have one sit by her desk and get her water whenever she gets thirsty. And when she's feeling nice, she'll lend her butler to you and you can invite friends over and act as if it's your very own."

Yeek Squeegee

1 recommendation

"Ergonomically designed, great for quickie clean-up of your glass and windows (without requiring paper towels or even - my favorite - newspaper), CHEAPIE CHEAP, and made of recyclable plastic and silicone rubber. For best results, clean those windows with a solution of water and good old fashioned white wine vinegar, and never want for another cleaner or product!"

Cobweb Broom

1 recommendation

"I've had one of these brooms for years. It's so beautiful, I hang it in my living room. And it does a good job with the cobwebs, too. This turns housekeeping into poetry, at least for the few moments it takes to clear the cobwebs. Which is always a good thing to do."

""What is THAT?" I said, while pointing frantically at the floor where something small was crawling its way across, making a beeline for the sofa where it would likely disappear until I went to sleep when I would wake with it on me. As I began to reach for a large book to squash it my dear friend Lucy yelled, "Wait! Wait!" and then disappeared down the hall. When she came back she had one of th..."
