Inflatable Movie Screens – Watch movies outdoors on an inflatable screen
I consider myself a great outdoorsman. I enjoy fishing, sailing and taking leisurely dips in my pool. I also enjoy watching television, but I don’t feel very outdoorsy while watching the boob tube from my couch.
Now I can maximize my love for being outdoors and still get in a healthy dose of entertainment with one of these ginormous Inflatable Movie Screens from the Improvements Catalog.
Forget about Drive-ins, welcome to my Swim-in.

Western toilet seats – A John Wayne toilet seat that celebrates the Duke everytime you’ve gotta go
One of my favorite eras of American history fell during the latter half of the 19th century in a period fondly referred to as the Wild West. Cowboys and Indians, saloons, gold rushes, Wyatt Earp and Doc Holiday’s showdown at the OK Corall… it was a time.
It’s hard to find a good old time saloon nowadays, we need a license to shoot things up and outhouses are a thing of the past, but I can still celebrate the legends of the Wild Wild West whenever I hit the john thanks to this John Wayne Western Toilet Seat from Wild West Living.
When it comes to toilet seats, it’s #1.

Lemon scented candles lightly scented with ginger, grapefruit and lemongrass
Some days, things just don’t go your way.
You realize your umbrella has a hole in it during a tropical storm.
You grab a doorknob at Disney World and get sick for a month.
The coffee maker splurts coffee grounds all over you.
You find out there’s 50lbs of honey in the walls of your house.
When life gives me lemons, I don’t make lemonade (too much sugar). Instead, I do two things.
1. I take a lemon-flavored Emergen-C packet for a burst of Vitamin C.
2. I light my Ginger and Grapefruit Scented Candles from Nice Aromas.
It works every time.

Decorative door stopper to keep your doors wide open
Sometimes you have an open door policy, sometimes you’d rather keep things behind closed doors. When the annoying building alarm has mulfunctioned, door closed. When there’s juicy office gossip circulating in the room next door, my door is always open.
I love the musical Wicked, so I’m really loving this Wicked/Wizard of Oz inspired Decorative Door Stopper from Colorful Images. It does the trick every time, keeping my door securely ajar when I’m open for gossip, visitors and cute little black doggies. I only need to beware of the flying monkeys. Nigel hates those guys.

Fragrance balls filled with honey scented fragrance sachets
When I walk in the front door after a hard day at work, I would love to be greeted with the smells of clean linens, warm cookies in the oven and spicy, intoxicating fragrances. Since I live with a teenage son and a fiesty labrador retriever, I’m usually greeted with the scent of eau de wet dog or parfum de dirty sneakers.
I love lighting sweet smelling candles around the house, but leaving a flame unattended while I’m at work isn’t an option, (especially considering my quirky smoke detectors) which is why I am obsessed with this lovely Fragrance ball from Chesapeake Bay Candle. It’s a fragrant life saver, making my home sweet home smell like a home sweet home, masking and overpowering any other disenchanting aromas.

Elvis pillow for Elvis Presley fans like me
There are two types of people in this world – Elvis fans and Elvis haters.
My co-worker Nigel is an Elvis hater, although Nigel hates almost everything… including watermelon and unicorns. I fall into the first category, a loyal fan of the King’s, ever since I marveled at his waist up performance on the Ed Sullivan show in 1956. Decades later, Elvis and I would share a special moment together in Hawaii when I accidentally plowed into a tall, dark and handsome man with a killer pair of mutton chops. True story.
I’ve been wanting to add a little bit of rock and roll into my home decor, so I’m all shook up over this Elvis Pillow from Image Design & Furniture Co. Now I can lay my head on Elvis’s shoulder and reminisce about our lovely Hawaiian getaway.

Duvet linens and luxurious duvet linen sets make for blissful bedding
I never get up on the wrong side of the bed.
Bedtime is happy time for me. My bedroom is my ultimate sanctuary and I love nothing more than crawling under cover every night for my routine seven to eight hours of uninterrupted shut-eye (that is, when the fire alarms aren’t going off). I’m not always able to splurge on the finer things in life – overpriced jewelry, tiny yappy purse dogs or Maserati Gran Turismos, but when it comes to bedding, my budoir calls for the very best.
Every night when I rest my head on my Ashley Citron Duvet Linens and shams from Blissliving Home, visions of sugarplums dance in my head with all of the day’s trials and tribulations simply melting away.

Whether you’re sick, having a bad day or experiencing unfortunate digestive problems, snuggling makes it all better. I am not embarrassed to admit that I am a self-professed Snugglepuss.

This therapy pillow gives me a therapeutic night’s sleep, finally
It’s never a silent night in my house.
I have 2 teenagers, and it’s been 6 years, 4 months, 13 days and 9 hours since I’ve had a good night’s sleep. I know, I’ve counted. I’m too busy thinking about all the work I need to do, all the pitches I need to make, all the bacon I need to bring home and all the kids I have to raise. Instead of crying tears on my pillow every night from all my accumulated stress, I can now be soothed by my favorite mellow sounds of Sade’s “Smooth Operator” or Enya’s “Orinoco Flow” thanks to this Sleep Oasis Therapy Pillow from Soundbytes.
