Since I am getting ready to go on vacation, I went through our luggage to see if we needed any new pieces. I wanted to make sure that the luggage would not fall apart or break a zipper. I decided to add a few pieces, and found the Luggage Source. They offer quality luggage including Samsonite, Kenneth Cole, Travel Pro and American Tourister. All order over $50 receive free shipping as well.

If you play sports, exercise or just want to check your heart rate and blood-oxygen levels, there is a handy item called a pulse oximeter. These units are also used by pilots and mountain climbers since blood-oxygen levels are important at high altitudes. You attach it to your finger and the tiny machine does the rest. They are very simple to use, portable and accurate. Most units use AAA batteries and are good for adults and children weighing at least 25 pounds.

I am getting ready to leave on vacation and the one thing that I can’t leave without is books. I love to read and I always need a few good books around. I keep one in my car, one in my bedroom and one downstairs. I don’t mind reading more than one book at a time. I am in the middle of reading the book “Middlesex” which is very interesting, but a little strange. I also just finished reading “Drowning Ruth” which was a very good book as well. What should I add to my reading list?
I have been looking all over creation for some attractive lighting for my house. When we did some remodling a few years ago, we just put up the really cheap, small globe lights that have only one bulb in them. Because we have low ceilings we can’t get anything that would hang down too far. Lighting Direct has a nice selection of Flush Mount lights that would work well in my house. I love the variety they have. If you don’t need Flush Mount lights, they also have a nice variety of other lights including chandeliers, accent and spot lights, bathroom fixtures and fluorescents.
Looking for a gift for a the man in your life? RC cars could be just the thing. Hobby Warehouse carries many different model cars. The cars are miniature replicas of the real thing and would look great on a desk or in a study. Plus the cars are also radio or remote controlled, so he can have a little fun! I loved the Carisma RC Ferrari F40. I have always wanted a Ferrari, but don’t think I can afford the real thing. I guess I will have to settle for a model!

I thought radar detectors were a thing of the past, but they still exist and the technology is better than ever. If you have ever been on the end of a speed trap, then you know that these can be valuable additions to your car. There are two states that still ban radar detectors – Virginia and Washington, DC. Also, you can not use them in commercial vehicles over 10,000 pounds and in most Canadian provinces.
The radar detector is mounted on the windshield. Be careful, tinting will reduce the effectiveness of the detector. Escort offers a 30 day money back guarantee. If you try their product and it doesn’t work for you, you can return it within 30 days from the date of purchase.
If you don’t have a life insurance policy, and you have people who depend on you, you should look into getting at least a term life insurance policy. Term life insurance is a policy that usually lasts for 20 years. Each year you pay a premium. If you should die within that 20 year period, your beneficiaries get the full benefit of the value of the policy. After 20 years, you can renew the policy and continue the monthly payments. Even though my husband has insurance at work, it is minimal, so we added an additional policy for him. I also picked up one for myself. It is reassuring knowing that my children will be cared for if anything happens to myself or my husband.
As we get older there are certain medical issues that we sometimes have to deal with. My grandfather, who is in a VA Hospital, like many older people, has incontinence issues. This problem can be embarrassing especially if you need to purchase disposable underwear. An easier way, is to purchase these products online. Often times the prices are cheaper than at the grocery or pharmacy stores and the items are delivered right to your door.
