Paricon sleds
Wintertime brings snow, and with it, sledding. My sister uses a Paricon sled to walk my nephew around the block. The sled is sturdy, maneuverable, and doesn't usually tip over when his parents execute awesome, precision turns.
Crayons
Crayons are awesome. Awesome in an arts and crafts way. Awesome in a favorite childhood memory way. Awesome in a magical way. Put out some construction paper and a box of crayons and watch the magic happen. Did you know the first box of crayons was introduced in 1903? And since then over 120 BILLION crayons have been sold throughout the [...]
Cookie Time
Aotearoa is the Maori word for New Zealand. They say it means, "island of the long white cloud". I say it means "island of the cookie". Everywhere I look there are signs for "Cookie Time," the local favorite in terms of pre-packaged cookies. They've got chocolate chip, apricot, fudge covered, and gluten free. For strangers looking [...]
Fabulous gift trim
I LOVE words. I especially love positive, uplifting words. Like fabulous, joy, believe, love... This 4.5 inches of fabulous I found in Kohl's in the gift section. It's intended to be used as gift trim--to hang on a ribbon or bow on the gift wrap; which really sets a 'fabulous' tone for the gift before it's even opened. I like to use these [...]
Beaba Babycook
When my sister was pregnant, there was one thing she was clear that she wanted. A Beaba Babycook. This thing is magical. It steams, purees, heats and defrosts. All in one. It even saves the water that condenses during steaming, it keeps the nutrients from fruits, vegetables and meats. Fast, easy baby food that allows you to know [...]
NyQuil
NyQuil may seem like an unusual product to feature on 365 Awesome, but when I have a nasty cold there's nothing better. Tonight, in fact, I will be using this awesome product to help me sleep. My head feels thick with mucus, it's hard to breathe, and I keep sneezing. What I really need is some rest--now that I've had some chicken soup. Taking [...]
Bicycle trainer
Everyone has their preferred method of getting exercise. Mine is the bike wind trainer. I use a CycleOps trainer with my bike, but there are a number of other brands on the market. If you like riding a bike, and don't have room for a stationary bike, or really prefer riding your two-wheeled friend, a bike trainer is a great way to [...]
Hemp Hand Protector
It's getting to be winter; which means dry skin is on the way. My hands can get so dry and cracked--if I'm not careful. This Hemp Hand Protector from The Body Shop really helps. It's thick and rich, you just need a little dab to work into your hands. And while your rubbing this creamy goodness in, the clean smell will uplift and calm you. I [...]
Google Sky Map
There are some pretty cool apps out there. My current favorite is Google Sky Map. This app turns your cell phone into an interactive star chart. Just hold the phone up to the sky and it will show you what constellations, stars, planets and other objects you're looking at. With pictures from the Hubble Space Telescope, and a great [...]
Kindness sticker
A group of Feng Shui consultants got together and thought of a great way to spread kindness. Small and simple, they created a re-attachable sticker with a meaningful reminder: you can carry kindness with you everywhere you go and spread it anywhere. Place these powerful pink prompts on anything: a note to the teacher, a tip to the waiter, [...]
