My Favourite Things

You don't have to be as famous as Oprah to publish your list of Favourite Things. So here's mine. Feel free to add your own in the comments section. 1.Nutri-rich Oil by Nutrimetics. There is 101 uses for this stuff, but my favourite is that I find it is the best leave-in hair conditioner/anti-frizz serum/curl cream there is for my type of hair. I have dry, frizzy, curly hair and the Nutri-rich oil leaves it feeling soft without feeling like there is product in it. Unlike other products that claim to tame the frizz, I find this one really does. I have recently had people comment that my hair seems to be getting curlier as I get older. It is still the same amount of curl, it is just that now I have found a way to tame the frizz, allowing the curls to stand out on their own. Price varies depending on size of container (20ml, 40ml or 60ml) 2.'Taking Charge of Your Fertility' by Toni Weschler. Have you ever wondered why your period is never the 28 days like it is in the text books? This book explains all the tell-tale signs that your body puts out on a daily basis as to where it is in the menstrual cycle. My husband read this book and said it was like reading a manual on women's bodies. At least I now understand mine! Go to tcoyf.com to get your hands on this book. 3.Kugelhopf silicon form by Tupperware. OMG! How did I ever live without this one? I can now make cakes in the microwave that turn out perfect everytime, in a fraction of the time it takes in the oven. And I don't have to worry about my toddler going near a hot oven! $74.95 from Tupperware, and worth every cent! 4.Lego. I loved it as a child and now I love it as a parent. It may be expensive, but it lasts a lifetime. My husband still has his Lego from when he was a child. The educational benefits of Lego are only limited by your imagination. My son loves his Duplo and builds the most magnificent structures from it. My husband and I can't wait until he moves onto the normal Lego so we can play with it too! 5.Play School on ABC TV. There is no better quality television program than this. Educational and entertaining, occasionally contraversial. I love the fact that they still use cardboard boxes and masking tape to make props and toys. There are plenty of great ideas for parents watching this program. 6. Turbo Chef by Tupperware. I always wanted one, now I have one. No more tears while cutting up onions! Unlike other food processors, this one won't leave big chunks of onion in amongst finely chopped bits. Everything gets chopped finely. I love the pull cord action, so easy to use. Also easy to clean. $57.20. 7. 'Sweet Poison' by David Gillespie. Now I also understand my sweet tooth, and can stand up and say "I am a sugarholic." How to lose weight without going on a diet. I lost 4kgs in 4 weeks without dieting.

Apparently you can even make jam in them, but I haven't tried that yet. RRP around the $60 dollar mark for the large one. 9. Janome Overlocker. Having one of these has helped to give my sewing a more professional touch, and I don't have to worry about material fraying. I can't remember the price, but check it out with your local Janome stockist. 10. Bambooty Easy Night nappies. I have written about these before in my blog. We have had a few nights when these have leaked, but it has always been when Brendon has had a huge drink before bedtime. Otherwise these have saved us money on not having to use disposables at nighttime. We got some at the Pregnancy, Babies and Children's expo and they were about $70 for a pack of three. A box of 72 disposable nappies costs $33, so within about 4 or 5 months the Bambooty's would have paid for themselves. I got these in March, so am half way there. They will do Brendon up until he is toilet trained at night, so I should get quite a while out of these yet. I sell both Tupperware and Nutrimetics, so if you would like more information or to make an order, you can email me on paulinestips.blogspot.com. Yes, I do take international and interstate orders (postage charges do apply).
