How much cuter would these make your backyard? This week’s Product Pick features a unique way to dress up your ordinary garden hose – with Hose Clothes! Everyone on your block likely has a hose, but no one’s will look half as good as yours!

At only $24 for a 25-foot hose and $34 for a 50-foot hose, it is totally reasonable to indulge in this backyard accessory!

I’m loving the leopard print. Which would you choose?

Happy Friday!

If you’re on the East Coast, are you prepping for Hurricane Irene? As I’m located in Northern New Jersey, I’m planing on wearing those fabulous glittered pumps instead of a chronic bitchface this weekend!

I’d also like to whip up a batch of these cereal bars to snack on if the power gets out.

Then I’ll dream about these lovely lamps in my house and throwing a party with fun flotation decor.

What are your plans for the weekend?

White distilled vinegar is a great cleaning product for many reasons: it can be used for many cleaning jobs, it kills bacteria, its not as harsh as other chemicals, it’s eco-friendly and its cost efficient!

We came across this website that lists 1001 uses for cleaning with white distilled vinegar. Here are some of our favorite tips:

• Clean counter tops and make them smell sweet again with a cloth soaked in undiluted white distilled vinegar.
• Clean the microwave by mixing 1/2 cup white distilled vinegar and 1/2 cup water in a microwave-safe bowl. Bring it to a rolling boil inside the microwave. Baked-on food will be loosened, and odors will disappear. Wipe clean.
• To prevent good glassware from getting etched by minerals, wash then spray with full-strength white distilled vinegar. Give the glasses a hot water rinse before letting them dry or drying them with a towel.
• For stained and smelly plastic food containers, wipe them with a cloth dampened with white distilled vinegar.
• Easily clean your mini blinds by wearing pair of white cotton gloves.  Dip gloved fingers into a solution of equal parts white vinegar and warm tap water, and run your fingers across both sides of each blind.
• Renew sponges and dishrags by placing them in just enough water to cover them. Then add 1/4 cup white distilled vinegar. Let them soak overnight.
• To clean a scummy showerhead,pour 1/2 cup baking soda and 1 cup white distilled vinegar into a sandwich bag and tie it around the showerhead. Let this set for an hour after the bubbling has stopped. Remove the bag and then turn on the water.
• Deodorize the toilet bowl by allowing 3 cups white distilled vinegar to sit in it for about a half hour before flushing.
• To make cleaning the grill easier, spray a solution of half water and half white distilled vinegar on the cooking surface.

Do you use white vinegar as a cleaning product in your home?

I’m looking for new and interesting ways to decorate walls without spending a fortune. The first DIY above involves scrapbook paper, which I can’t ever get enough of because of all the bright colors and fun patterns. Instead of mounting them all on one piece, I think I would frame individual pieces or do only a few of the squares. Either way, I would definitely frame it!

The second DIY is such an awesome, quirky idea – especially since it uses silhouettes, my new fave! I love this idea and hope I’m crafty enough to recreate it in my own home.

As for the third DIY,  it was really the large canvas that captured my heart. Also because its a great, easy, stylish way to bring in color.

Do you have any wall art DIYs to share with us? We’d love to see them!

Do you get fancy and bring out the napkin rings?

Or do you let people use their sleeves? Just kidding.

But, really we’d like to know…when you entertain, how fancy do you get with your dinner table? Do you use cloth napkins or paper, good china or everyday china? If it depends on the occasion, what’s your determining factor??
