The Koolatron Krusader is the perfect cooler for your car. I can’t tell you how often I’ve had to resist the lure of ice cream treats while at the supermarket - one look at the blazing hot sun outside and I knew I’d have to deal with a puddle of stuff if I gave in to temptation. But with a Koolatron Krusader at hand, it’s easy to go on a freezer-stocking mission at the grocery store and still make some side trips afterwards!

“If you hold pilgrimages to the park or make war on minivans all the way to the mall you need a Koolatron Krusader. This super-sized cooler will keep your food from spoiling on the trip to the campground or the drive home from the supermarket even if you take a few detours along the way.

Its 12 volt cord plugs into the cigarette lighter of your vehicle and powers a fan that keeps the whole cooler chilled. When you’re not using the Koolatron Krusader on the road it can double as bar fridge or student dormitory fridge with the addition of a Koolatron AC adapter (available separately). When you need it again it will be ready for you to raid the grocery store or pillage the Price Club!”

If you’ve never seen a garment steamer in action, you’d be surprised at how easily it takes the wrinkles out of your clothes. The Jiffy J-2000 “I” All-Purpose Garment Steamer and Steam Cleaner is lightweight and looks very easy to use. If you’re like me, you’ll probably end up steaming out the wrinkles to a lot of things you wouldn’t have even thought about ironing before.

“As your drycleaner knows, steam is the gentlest, safest, most efficient method to remove wrinkles from fabrics. The powerful action of garment steamers penetrate the fibers, relaxes them and causes the wrinkles to release. Unlike ironing, the gentle method of steaming increases the life of clothing. Garment steamers breathe new life into fabrics; conversely, ironing crushes clothing fibers. Many garment steamer users have found that steaming is up to five times faster than conventional ironing.

The Model J-2000 garment steamers have the same lightweight, flexible hose and easy-roll casters for mobility as the Model J-2 garment steamer, but with an updated design and several ergonomics features. This versatile Residential Series garment steamer has even been found by some owners to eliminate dust mites in bedding. You will enjoy discovering new applications for this powerful and flexible appliance in your home.”

Those of us who own a cat will immediately realize that “cat” and “hammock” really go well together. They both kind of imply the same thing. Lazing around, enjoying oneself immensely.

(Although, come to think about it, is there really such a thing as owning a cat? Reminds me of a mug I saw once that read “Dogs have owners, cats have staff” …)

This cat hammock definitely sounds like it would be a huge hit among the feline population:

“This small hammock provides cats with their own space to rest 10 off the ground, and has a two-different sleep surfaces to keep cats comfortable in different seasons. One side is 100% 600-Denier polyester in hunter green, for keeping cool during warmer months, and the other side flips easily to reveal a sherpa faux fur fabric that helps trap warmth during colder months.”

Talk about one piece of fitness equipment that does it all! The Band Flex is absolutely versatile, giving you an efficient full body workout with the flexibility of a whole range of exercises (60 of them!). I’ve always found that having my own in-home gym makes it much easier to stay fit, because there are lots of times when it’s far easier to head over to my own fitness equipment than it is to go to the nearest gym. If you’re short on space, something like the Band Flex Gym is perfect.

“The Band Flex Gym features over 60 exercises - including the bench press chest fly lat pull down tricep pushdown and more - designed to build both strength and cardiovascular fitness.

Band Flex comes complete with a lat tower leg curl/extension unit and a preacher curl bar attachment. And you can perform a wide variety of shoulder and bench presses by moving the adjustable position bench. The sliding seat adds rowing and leg press exercises while the resistance cords allow you to safely perform resistance exercises without a spotter. When you finish your workout the Band Flex Gym folds up quickly and easily for convenient storage.”
