Cozy Homewares is an up-and-coming homewares site, currently featuring fabric shower curtains, aprons, and now, reuseable cloth grocery bags. All come in several colors/designs, so you can find the one that matches your style.

Best of all, all these items have free shipping within the USA!

Here’s some pix from the site:

          

The reusable grocery bags are really cool. I’ve got several. They expand enough to hold as much as a plastic bag, and on top of that, you can make them as heavy as you want to without worrying about them giving way (they hold up to 40Lbs!). Perfect for people like me, who LOVE the pliability and lack of hassle of plastic, and HATE infernal, rip-prone, handle-less paper–but don’t want to use hundreds of bags/year.

It seems that everything needs batteries. Camcorders, cellphones, you name it, it needs batteries!

And, most consumer electronics not only uses batteries, it uses rechargeable ones. So, you also need a charger that can handle the particular battery types your stuff uses.

If you want to jump off the battery merry-go-round, then you need an adapter–something which doesn’t always come with the item you bought!

So, where can you go to take care of all these power requirements? eBatts.com has it all! Batteries, chargers, and adapters for lots of name-brand consumer electronics items are what they carry. And, they don’t charge a lot–in fact, they offer substantial savings over many other retailers. To top it off, they’re also offering free shipping! So check ‘em out today and power up all your electronic gizmos!

When going on vacation, I like to travel light. No big “suitcases” for me, and not much luggage to lug!

But, even so, I do need to have one travel case to put the stuff I do take into. A nice small one with wheels is good for carrying my couple of changes of clothes, my toiletries, and a robe.

One like this Professional 20″ Upright rolling travel bag is just the thing. Even though that one has been designed with input from pilots and flight attendants, apparently for use as carryon luggage, I find these bags are great for road trips. Just swing ‘em up into the trunk and you’re off! Clothes in the big part, toiletries in the small parts. Everything stays nice. It has a long collapsible handle, which makes it even more convenient: It’s easy to stow, but when it comes time to pull it, you don’t have to bend over to reach the handle.

And you’re not weighted down carrying a bunch of junk around–something that’s very good when you find that you’re on the 2nd floor of an elevatorless motel, or when you simply don’t want to waste an hour repacking at checkout time.

This Collectibles Today baby figurine by the Ashton-Drake Galleries not only features a peaceful, sleeping newborn, but the hand of God handing the precious bundle over. Great for new parents or grandparents, the figurine can be personalized with the name of the child on the “baby necklace” which rings the base. It comes with 2 knit caps–one blue and one pink–so you can set the child up with the proper color for his/her gender. The rest of the outfit is a neutral white shirt and diaper.

See for yourself the peaceful new baby being presented by the very comfy-looking Hand of God!

Sometimes, counting calories and weighing out food just isn’t enough. When that’s the case, taking some kind of weight loss pill can help.

Weight-control pills work in a variety of ways. Some work by suppressing appetite, some work by increasing metabolism, and some by influencing how digestion works. And some, though they talk up an increase of metabolism, actually increase your energy–which causes you to move more and burn more calories.

Finding FDA-approved over-the-counter weight loss pills used to be a futile effort. But now there’s Alli Weight Loss Pills, which are, at the time of this writing, the only FDA-approved over-the-counter pill for losing weight, according to eVitamins.com.

These pills work by actually blocking some of the fat absorbtion of some of the food you eat. Made by GlaxoSmithKline, they have the backing of one of the world’s large pharmaceutical companies. No wondering who’s behind these; you can rest assured that it is a real company who subjected their product to the scrutiny required by the FDA!

Of course, the pills come with a diet plan to ensure that you lose weight in a healthy manner. The pills allow you to lose about 50% more weight than you would with a diet plan alone. So if you would have lost 10lbs with the plan, you’ll lose 15lbs with the combination of the plan and the pills!

To save money on diet pills like Alli, just click here to go to eVitamins.com and get your supply.
