Re-doing the Powder Room?

What is it with bathrooms? Are they not the most-ignored, yet most-used room in the house?

I've decided it time to do a bit of redecorating by adding some much needed Bathroom Furniture.

Furniture, you ask? Why, yes! I think a small vanity chair and a nice oval rug would be the perfect addition. Just something to make the room look a bit more comforatble and a lot less stark. Perhaps a picture or a pretty vase, too.

When I'm getting a much-deserved bubble bath, I like to turn down the light and let the glow of a candle fill the room. The simple additions of a rug, chair, and flowers would help me to 'let go' of a stressful day.

I deserve that. Don't you?

Mr. Coffee 4-Cup Coffee-Maker (CSN Stores) Review CLOSED!

CLOSED! CLOSED!

I'm sure you know by now that I am a big fan of CSN Stores! I've been blessed to do two reviews for them. I've been pleased and satisfied with both experiences.

For this review, I received a wonderful Mr. Coffee 4-cup Pause 'n Serve Coffee Maker.

FEATURES:
•Brewing "Pause 'n Serve"
•Removable filter insert
•Dual water windows
•Stain resistant warming plate
•Lighted on/off switch
•Available in Black or White

This coffee maker allows you to pour a cup of coffee while it is still brewing! The Mr. Coffee "Pause 'n Serve" coffee maker features dual water windows which show the amount of water in the reservoir for accurate filling. The lighted on/off switch and easy maintenance are all designed for your convenience.

I chose mine in black. It's stylish and easy to use. I wanted a smaller coffee-maker as my previous coffee-maker was huge! The four-cup coffee-maker is perfect for me. I love the fact that it's compact size fits perfectly on my kitchen counter and tucks underneath my cabinets. I never have any trouble finding a spot for it. Easy to clean, too. That's a huge plus for me!

Of course, what I love best is CSN Stores! If you haven't heard of them, please let me tell you about them!

A Bathroom of my very own... *sigh* (CSN STORES!)

With Liz moving into the Quad at University, I'll be taking over her bathroom for my very own! YAH!!!

But I have to make a few MAJOR RENOVATIONS... uhm... minor changes...

The first thing on my list?

I need a new Bathroom Sink. You see, the one in there now is... yellow. Ish. It's kind of almost almond but not. Get the dreary picture?

I want something bright and inviting... a personal little facial-spa spot.

I can't decide if I'm going to go with porcelain, glass, or copper... clear, coloured, or patterned. I just know that this time, beauty form, and function must go hand-in-hand.

And that's why I'm going to make my purchase at the CSN Stores -- they have over 200 Stores and well-over a million items to choose from!

I know if I can't find what I want there -- I can't find it anywhere! Check them out and see for yourself -- you won't be disappointed.

Hamilton Beach Stay or Go Slow Cooker (CSN STORES): Review

My old crockpot served me well for several years. Until it died it a peaceful death in the middle of the night -- never to work again.

To say I was lost without it is an understatement. I LOVE crockpots (aka slow-cookers)! They have been my constant companions in the kitchen for as long as I can remember.

When I went looking on-line for another Slow Cooker, I discovered CSN Stores -- and found a treasure I didn't know existed!

I found the Slow Cooker of my dreams in the CSN Cookware Department, the Hamilton Beach Stay or Go 6 Quart Slow Cooker in Stainless Steel.

Ah, bliss! My slow cooker is right where it should be -- on the counter by my coffee-maker!

The Hamilton Beach Slow Cooker offers many features that I want and need:
•Clip-tight lid to prevent spills
•Large full-grip handles
•Dishwasher safe stoneware & lid
•Convenient spoon rest on the lid

It's available in stainless steel (my choice) or white.

I've used it three times now in just over a week! Pot Roast, White Chicken Chili, and tonight's meal: Bar-B-Que Pork!

I absolutely dread standing over a hot stove / oven in the spring and summer. A slow cooker just doesn't throw off heat the way conventional ovens do. I can put dinner on to cook at 10:00 a.m. and by 5:00 p.m, we're ready to eat. It's such a relief!

So, am I happy with my new Hamilton Beach Slow Cooker?
You bet I am!

Is there anything I don't like about it?
Uhm... Nope! It has everything I need or want, it performs to high standard, and it's incredibly functional. If only it could shop at the grocery for me!

Am I impressed by CSN Stores?
You bet I am! I highly recommend them for all of your on-line shopping needs. There prices are low, the quality is high. Best of all? Even their Shipping costs are low. How amazing is that in this day and age?
