Life is hectic, so when you find things that make the day to day just a tad easier, you share the info with your friends. At least if you are nice you do. :)
We are floored by all of the cleverness that has come our way in recent weeks. These items will make your house run more smoothly and become new essentials that you can no longer live without.
Last week I spent some time cleaning our sink drains. They were gross! Now we're using the Sink Shroom. This useful new tool is designed to block all fallen hair and other items from falling through your sink and clogging your drains. SinkShroom fits into the standard 1.25" bathroom sink drain and is an environmentally friendly way to prevent having to use chemical drain cleaners! $12.00; Amazon.com
We have the SnapPower Outlet Lights and we absolutely love them. They were so easy to install and now provide a sleek nightlight when it turns dark. The SnapPower SwitchLight does the same thing but for a light switch. This sleek LED night-light built into a light switch cover installs in just seconds over your existing light switch and matches the decor of your home. This will be perfect in the hall bath so the kids won't have trouble in the middle of the night. $17; SnapPower
These reusable silicone sleeves perform a variety of household tasks efficiently and effectively. Eco-friendly and versatile, this mighty tool features gentle bristles on one side and smooth bumps on the other enabling it to take on any house chore thrown its way. BUMP IT OFF fits comfortably in your hand in multiple positions, allowing you to concentrate scrubbing power in the palm of your hand or on your fingertips. There are so many uses for these but right now my favorite use for this nifty tool is removing pet hair from our sofa - or the pets themselves! To clean they can go in the top rack of the dishwasher to be sanitized and used over and over! Available in Blue, Green, Orange and Purple. $10; Goddess of Gadgets
If you cook, you know all of those stubborn food smells can be difficult to wash your hands of. We love this eco-friendly soap that does a good job at eliminating the scents like garlic, onions and fish that can linger on your hands long after food prep is over. $3.99; Target.com
As a blogger, I receive lots of promotional power banks. The problem is, they're useless if I forget to bring along my cables. With the myCharge Hubxtra, I can charge the device at home and bring it along with me and have nothing else to bring to charge our devices. The rechargeable 4400mAh portable charger is the quintessential powerbank. With an integrated Apple® Lightning™ cable and an integrated micro-USB cable, staying charged on the go has never been easier. Carrying cables is a thing of the past, not only are the cables built in for effortless charging but wall prongs are built-in for effortless recharging.$68; Amazon.com

For the bath, this soap has been a Godsend this winter when the skin is so dry. We encourage the kids to wash their hands often to prevent the spread of disease, so it definitely helps to have a hydrating soap they can use. Formulated with the perfect blend of Vitamin E and Panthenol and a certified organic botanical blend of Rosemary and Chamomile, this soap is mostly plant derived and smells great. $4.99; Target.com
