We’re thinking of taking the big leap into home ownership. Chances are we’ll be moving to a condo and giving up our wonderful (albeit rented) yard and patio, where we do quite a bit of barbecuing in the summer. It’s great to know that we may not have to give that up because of this little gadget.

The Electric Compact Patio Grill is the perfect alternative for places like the balconies of condos where traditional forms of grilling are often not allowed. Just don’t drop any hot steaks off the side.

You can buy the Electric Compact Patio Grill at firstSTREET.

“The Electric Patio Grill is the perfect combination of superior performance and convenience. Its space-efficient design allows it to work well in places where space is tight such as patios and balconies. In addition, with this electric grill there is no gas tank to fill, or replace, and no charcoal mess to clean up. Nor will you have to worry about transporting/carrying heavy gas cans and bags of charcoal.”

My friend has something very similar to this, and let me tell you, it really is like getting your drink from a restaurant or bar. Having the ice shaved properly, instead of just sort of ground up in a blender makes all the difference.

Not having to stand at the bar the whole time and make drinks for everyone instead of being a part of the party yourself is important too.

You can buy the Margaritaville Frozen Concoction Maker from My Secret Pantry.

“Be the hit of your next party with restaurant quality frozen drinks from the Margaritaville Frozen Concoction Maker. Our secret - it automatically shaves ice & then blends your favorite ingredients for consistent results. The Margaritaville Frozen Concoction Maker combines professional ice-shaving capability with inspired design including key lime coloring, maritime markings and shark fin indicator lights. Unlike a blender, the Frozen Concoction Maker shaves ice and blends it with your favorite ingredients for consistent results, creating restaurant-style drinks. And to keep you from being chained to the bar, automated settings are pre-programmed to shave and blend 1,2, or 3 drinks effortlessly in seconds. The Concoction Maker does all the work and you get all the credit.”

Sort of looks like something out of Star Wars doesn’t it? Well it’s not the helmet of an Imperial Storm Trooper…actually it kind of looks more like Bobophet, anyway it’s not; it’s a Head Spa Massager.

It uses acupuncture technology to relax, soothe and eliminate the causes and symptoms of your headache. The Head Spa Massager stimulates blood circulation around your head and scalp, getting rid of stress, tension, pain or discomfort you feel in your head. I suffer from migraines, and at times you can see me with a man’s tie tied around my head in an attempt to relieve the pressure. I think I’ll look slight less silly in this. A great alternative to medication and men’s ties.

You can buy the Head Spa Massager at eParty Unlimited.

“Special micro-massagers make it feel like thousands of tiny fingers are gently massaging your scalp at the same time. Once you have the Head Spa Massager on, any tension and discomfort that you feel from stress or a headache will disappear-and you’ll end up feeling better than ever!”

People who regularly use inversion therapy gain rejuvenating effects over their entire body. Inversion therapy purports to help relieve stress, stimulate circulation, improve your posture, reduce muscle tension, increase flexibility, and reduce the effects of aging caused by gravity.

I’m not sure if it can actually help you combat gravity, but it sure looks like fun! And for people coping with chronic back pain, perhaps the Teeter Hang Ups Inversion Table is the way to relief.

You can buy the Teeter Hang Ups Inversion Table at Contour Living.

“Inversion is a passive activity that requires only a few minutes of your day, yet can benefit your body in so many ways. While inverted and relaxed, your body weight creates traction that lengthens the spine by increasing the space between the vertebrae. This relieves pressure on the discs and nerve roots - less pressure translates into reduced back pain.”

Everybody loves to have their feet pampered, and why not get the health benefits of acupuncture while it’s happening?

The Miracle Foot Acupuncture claims to use 36 points of acupressure on each foot to help assuage 72 different bodily health problems, painlessly in just 5-minutes a day.

You can buy the Miracle Foot Acupuncture at Unbeatable Sale.

“Acupressure of the feet is based on the scientifically researched notion that pressure applied to specific points on these extremities benefit other parts of the body. It’s a method of massage that relieves tension through the application of acupuncture to the feet. When blood circulation is properly restored, aches and pains in the limbs and spine are naturally reduced. The Miracle Foot Acupuncture is the safe method to relieve pain by addressing the root of the problem: proper blood flow.”
