<p>I’ll start:
SHOUT Color Catcher (just put a mixed dark load in and a white sock by mistake. Sock’s white as new)</p>
<p>De-Solv-It Citrus gets out on laundry what Oxi gel and all the others won’t and its biodegradeable.</p>
<p>My Ipad. I didn’t think I really needed one, but now that I have it I love it!</p>
<p>Same, hops! Now I’m downloading books and never thought I’d read a book that way. Love it for travel, too, where I can watch HBO go or read without lugging my hardcovers around.</p>
<p>Dropbox.com. has changed my professional and writing lives! Any document I write on any of three computers I’ve linked to it is automatically added to the other two, plus preserved in the ether to be reached from any computer.</p>
<p>Has made keeping track of documents and revisions a zillion times easier.</p>
<p>I love Dropbox, too!</p>
<p>Another on-line item I adore is Workflowy at workflowy.com Like Dropbox, you can sign in from any computer and it will synch.</p>
<p>It is a way to stay organized. You have outlines that expand and collapse. I’ve known students who use it to outline papers.</p>
<p>You can share them with other people. A friend with a small business uses it to coordinate employees.</p>
<p>Besides having different lists, you can cut and paste in longer bits of text. </p>
<p>Check out their little video. It really is helpful.</p>
<p>I second those SHOUT Color Catcher’s. </p>
<p>My Dutch Oven is my favorite new kitchen addition. I always heard that they were great and I can’t even explain how it makes a difference but it does. I use it all the time as my first go to pot.</p>
<p>This cream from Origins - adjusts to your skin tone and gives you just a hint of color while moisturizing and offering sunscreen protection. I’m not one for makeup, and use this as foundation. A friend introduced me to it 3 years ago, and I haven’t gone without it since. </p>
<p>[Origins</a> VitaZing SPF 15 Energy-Boosting Moisturizer with Mangosteen: Moisturizer | Sephora](<a href=“http://www.sephora.com/vitazing-spf-15-energy-boosting-moisturizer-with-mangosteen-P297521?skuId=1375732]Origins”>http://www.sephora.com/vitazing-spf-15-energy-boosting-moisturizer-with-mangosteen-P297521?skuId=1375732)</p>
<p>My hydro flask insulated water bottle. I can run can run around all day leaving it in the car and it still has ice and cold water in it at the end of the day. Such a simple thing but it’s great.<br>
I second the color catchers as well.</p>
<p>My smartphone, especially google calendar/contacts.</p>
<p>Scrub Daddy.</p>
<p>love these sponges</p>
<p>My microplane zester:</p>
<p>[Amazon.com:</a> Microplane 40020 Classic Zester/Grater: Kitchen & Dining](<a href=“http://www.amazon.com/Microplane-40020-Classic-Zester-Grater/dp/B00004S7V8]Amazon.com:”>http://www.amazon.com/Microplane-40020-Classic-Zester-Grater/dp/B00004S7V8)</p>
<p>I use it for cheese and to make citrus zest.</p>
<p>I’m going to try workflowy and the laundry products. And maybe the face cream. Already know about dropbox (but don’t use it that much).</p>
<p>I nominate this as the best thread ever.</p>
<p>My benzoyl peroxide/clindamycin acne gel. I am pimple free for the first time in decades.</p>
<p>Our Sodastream seltzer maker. Three zaps with the CO2 cartridge and you have seltzer. No more buying bottles from the store which end up in the recyclables.</p>
<p>And for me, its my MAC book air. Very light so easy to take along.</p>
<p>Does the sodastream really taste as good as say, Diet Coke?</p>
<p>We don’t use the syrups so I can’t say. What we do do is buy apple and grape juice concentrate and make “sparkling” soda. Very satisfying in the summer.</p>
<p>Shark steam mop–as I have mostly ceramic tile floors in my house. Beats lugging around a mop and bucket and no streaky soap residue.</p>
<p>Love the Roomba vacuum, that keeps our floors clean as programmed with little effort by us!</p>
<p>Love the Mint vacuum, that dry-sweeps my hardwood floors and, it says, wet mops as well. I’ve only used the dry-sweep function. Anything my Mint does is something I don’t have to do.</p>
<p>Downloadable audiobooks. I go through more books in a year now, and in more subjects, than I would in decades.</p>
<p>Battery-operated pepper mill!</p>
