ConcenTrace Trace Mineral Drops
$39.99

Sodium, magnesium, chloride, potassium—yep I need those. Better price per ounce than most other mineral replenishing drink powders etc. I put a few drops in warm water in the morning or stir it into my salty/sour/sweet afternoon bubbly drink.

My 9-year-old daughter says, "This makes me want to clean up more!" And the way that the brush fits snugly into the dust pan is very satisfying.

Cover the ugly side of the fridge with all the extra stickers you have laying around. If you don’t have extra stickers laying around, start going to zine fests and art fairs⭐️💫🌟

Immediately donating / discarding whatever random object your well-meaning elderly family member gave you

It’s an odd shaped plastic container. It’s the ugliest vase you’ve ever seen. Helping them reduce their hoarding doesn’t mean you have to keep it.

Aire de jeux pour enfants

An above average park that kept my whole family happy (kids aged 3-12) and an exhausted but happy me and husband. Multiple water fountains. Dense shade. Two different areas for older and younger children connected by a walkway lined with flowers. It was a two minute walk from the fruit stand I also rec’d.
