Rotadent Toothbrush Review

A while back I decided it was time to starting shopping for a good, electric toothbrush. In the past, I have tried Braun Electric Toothbrushes, which last a long time, but never seemed to overwhelm me with their teeth cleaning power. Why can’t I have a toothbrush that is as good and powerful as the one the dentist uses to polish my teeth?  Of course, the one popular brand name that kept popping up in my head was the OralB Toothbrush. It just so happens Braun makes the Oral-B Toothbrush.  My research took me to a couple of popular names on the internet such as the Oral-B 7000 and The Oral-B Triumph 9900 Toothbrush with Smart Guide.

Kraus Faucets Under Review

My own, 21 year old home came with an interesting mixture of plumbing appliances. There are some contemporary ones such as the Arwa Faucet in my kitchen and the Toto Toilets in two of my bathrooms. Unfortunately, I also have some dinosaurs like the clumsy, 20th century toilets and ancient (20 year old) brass faucets in my master bath. One lesson I learned from decorative appliances is to make sure you can find parts to repair them. If you buy something unique like an Arwa Faucet or Kraus Faucets, make sure you save any documentation and adhere it somewhere in your home near the appliances where it can be found. If you ever sell your house, the new home owner will be extremely appreciative. When my Arwa Faucet began leaking, I had no idea where to look in order to identify the brand name, let alone the parts to repair it. I took several photos of my faucet, but even my local hardware stores couldn't identify the brand from the picture. Most fortunately and miraculously, I was able to identify my Kitchen Arwa Faucet using a Google Image search. I was able to fix my leaky Arwa Faucet by simply purchasing a replacement cartridge from an Arwa dealer in Tucson. Lesson: Google is better at locating faucet parts than your local hardware or plumbing store.

I thought about my experience with the Arwa Faucet as I shopped for something more trendy for my bathroom sink. I must say the Kraus Faucets are the most unique looking home fixtures I've ever seen. Watch the video below. Read the rest of this entry

Thick Toenail?

Do you suffer from Thick Toenail Syndrome? Or, are your toe nails so thick and hard that they could be used to cut diamonds? I'll cover diamond cutting in an upcoming review titled, "Things at Home you can use to Cut Diamonds" Meanwhile, what do you use for toe nail clippers if your toe nails really do happen to be thicker and harder than diamonds? Those of you with wimpy, thin toe nails don't laugh. Some of us do happen to have a Thick Toenail that is so hard that even the most robust pair of toe nail cutters will fail to get the job done. Stop giggling - this is a big, freaking problem! Read the rest of this entry
