Crystal Recommends: Rubermaid Spice Rack

So in one of our many many adventures in Walmart I found this amamzing contraption. While thoose of you who know me well know that I am not the one that does the cooking simply because I hate it. That doesn’t mean I don’t want the kitchen organized. The Rubermaid Spice Rack is a wire rack that you install in your cabinate (we choose the one over our stove). You simplely drill a couple holes, screw in the brackets and there you go. It organizes all your spices and makes them easy to see, find and reach all for the low price of $11.00. It is just one more small step to getting my house organized. I hope this helps you along your daily journey as well.

Crystal Recommends:

I have decided to give my blog some structure so I will become more in the habit of posting. Once a week I will post something that I have found makes my life easier. Today’s recommendation is the Bounce Dryer Bar! It is a bar that will take the place of those annoying dryer sheets. I don’t like to use fabric softener in the washing machine b/c I don’t feel like it makes your clothes smell as good and it doesn’t really seem to help the static build up from the dryer. I hate using regular dryer sheets because I hate having to figure out what to do with them after the dryer. If you are anything like me I do my laundry down in the basement and lug it up stairs to fold on the bed so I can watch TV at the same time. At the end of a day doing laundry I have a pile sky high of used dryer sheets that will fall over and get stuck to my socks or will find their way under my bed. The Bounce Dryer Bar eliminates all of these problems and I LOVE it! You stick the bar to the drum of your dryer and replace it ever 2 months or so. I also believe that it is cheaper then standard dryer sheets. I got a 3 pack of Bounce Dryers Bars at Sam’s Club for $4.48 that is roughly 6 months of dryer sheets. So far I have no complaints and will not be going back to standard dryer sheets. Give it try and let me know what you think or if you have run into any problems with them!!!
