Charlotte’s Tips

This place needs new faucets. They’re so old. The faucet in the kitchen leaks when you move the spout. That makes such a big mess! The bathroom faucets aren’t much better. I’d love to get the landlord to install a new Moen faucet in the kitchen and bathroom. He could get a good deal and a wide selection of faucets at Faucet.com. He could get free shipping if he spends $199.00.

It’s not like I want faucets that would require a loan to be taken out! I just want faucets that don’t leak all over the place! He could get some at a reasonable price at Faucets.com. Maybe if I give everyone his address, you could all help me out and send him letters asking him to buy me new faucets? *Ya’ll know I’m joking, right?*

Ultra Palmolive Lavender and Ylang Ylang is made by Colgate-Palmolive Company. I love the smell of it. It claims to be tough on grease and soft on hands. Well, it’s partly right. It does great on getting the greasy residue left on pans and dishes from foods. The downside is after using it my hands feel tight and dry. I have to use lotion right away or my hands start cracking. The only way around that tight/dry feeling is to use gloves. I don’t really care for using gloves except when I use harsh chemicals like those that contain bleach.

The thing that keeps me using this product is definitely the scent. I love the lavender and ylang ylang. It’s a very calming scent.

If you don’t mind putting lotion on after every time you do dishes or pots and pans then Ultra Palmolive is a great product.

Rotisserie chicken is delicious and I never thought I’d be able to make it in my own home in my kitchen. I could use the rotisserie on the barbecue but that would mean cooking in 2 places at once, outside and in the kitchen. I wouldn’t want to do that in the winter. I’d rather rotisserie in the kitchen.

At Rotisol-France, Inc. you can get vertical rotisseries which are more for a commercial environment. They come in either electric or gas and are state of the art. I’d love to get a Roti Roaster. It’s still quite large and I’d have to get hubby to build something to put it on and run a 220 line to it. It would be good for a small restaurant. Now if only they could make a smaller one that would be good for the home. I’d be happy!

My grandkids come over and stay with me every other weekend. I have 2 bathrooms and the main one is the one the kids use. I’m decorating it in a theme just for them. I found some unique shower curtains. This shower curtain has cute dinosaurs that the boys will love. They are dinosaur freaks!

Kids will love these shower curtains. They can learn while they are bathing. You’ll have clean, smart kids. You’ll probably never get them out of the bathroom!

I’ve talked about moving on this blog before, but it was for residential and small moving jobs. What if you owned a company that makes large equipment, say for factories? How would you get the equipment where it needs to go? You would have to call a company specialized in that type of moving.

If your equipment shipment is international in nature such as to Mexico then Mexico heavy haul is a good option. LGI International is a company that specialized in heavy haul shipping and transportation.
They provide “door-to- door” service. You get a single bill for all your international shipping and trucking charges associated with the transport, directly to and from your customer’s doorstep. All USA and Mexican customs brokerage fees are included.

When we put an addition on our house I did the tiling. I thought it was fun to do. We should have used glass tiles. They are pretty and would have added that sparkle to the bathroom. Glass tiles come on 13 x 13 inch mesh backed sheets which makes them so easy to install.

These glass tiles would make a very pretty backsplash in a kitchen. I love lavender so it’s the perfect choice for me. I could get marble tile or glass and stone mosaics that would make a pretty backsplash too.

The Glass Tile Store is the place for all of your tiling needs. Want river rock? They have it. This place is worth bookmarking!

If you cannot afford air travel, you don’t need advice from a travel advisor. You can simply travel by train and ship where necessary.

If you are looking for some Greenhouses and you only have a small space, you can get portable greenhouses. They are small and easily moved around. The one I’m thinking of has 4 shelves and looks like a baker’s rack. There is a plastic cover that zips open and has roll up panels. That will help regulate the temperature inside so your seedlings will grow properly.

After the seedlings have grown you can take the cover off and use the stand to keep your potted plants on. It’s a versatile and very handy shelving unit.

As you know, I became a Gramma again, for the 4th time, in April. I’ve been shopping around for some baby clothes for the new little one. I’ve found the cutest things at Baby CZ.

This site has been featured in a lot of women’s magazines and has upscale clothing. There is also a gift registry. Get a nice cashmere layette gift set. Cashmere is so soft next to a baby’s skin. They also have clothing for kids 2 – 12 and for adults.

My new little guy will look so cute in these clothes. I’ll have to order something for him so mom and dad can dress him in those clothes for his visit here next month.
