Innovative and Really Helpful Unusual Products

Here’s a list of some of the most awesome products not seen commonly. Some of these products may actually surprise you at the simple yet genius inventions.

AIR UMBRELLA

Every season umbrellas get more fashionable than fancy. Well, here’s an umbrella that’s neither fashionable nor fancy, it’s innovative!
The air umbrella uses air pressure to build a sort of invisible umbrella over you. Pressure of the air is so strong that it keeps water from entering the circumference of air or the invisible umbrella around you.

Ants also have a natural aversion to cucumber. Place cucumber peels on their path. And if a cucumber turns out to be bitter, don’t frown because that’s one of the best ant repellents.

SET OF KNIVES

This knives-set is a real space saver. Very elegant and well organized too.


FOLDABLE SHOES

These can be ideal for camping, hitchhiking or adventure trips.


BUILT-IN EXTENSION CORD

Did just anyone say "I can’t find the extension cord"?


PIZZA SCISSORS

Pretty cool idea, huh?!

PIANO DOORBELL

I want this!


GOLDFISH WALKER

Lets take our goldfish for a walk, shall we?


CORNER FRAMES

Stop Bugging Me

Household tips that will help getting rid of common insects and bugs naturally, with common kitchen ingredients and things around the house

If we look around the house, we’d be surprised to see the variety of insects in our houses in spite of the cleaning and prevention measures we take. The tiny invaders are practically everywhere, in our cupboards, carpet, shelves, walls, air, just everywhere. A common remedy is to get chemicals available in the market but this is dangerous both for the environment and for the people in the house, especially children. Buying chemicals can also be a costly affair given there might be different types of pesticides for different type of pests and insects.

Here are some home remedies for pests, which are natural, nontoxic and very simple.

ANTS

Ants can be quiet a nuisance especially when they get into food. Some species of ants, especially the big, black ants and the little red ants bite which can be very painful, especially for children. And then there are fire ants that first bite and then sting. Here’s what you can do to keep all species of ants away from your house:

Ants have a natural aversion to all things that have a strong smell and flavor. Some of these things include garlic, cloves, mint leaves, cayenne pepper, citrus oil, lemon juice, cinnamon, vinegar (synthetic), ground coffee etc. Trace the ant line back to its start and keep any of these ingredients. For better results keep 2-3 of these ingredients on their path.

Ants also have a natural aversion to cucumber. Place cucumber peels on their path. And if a cucumber turns out to be bitter, don’t frown because that’s one of the best ant repellents.

Keep a spray bottle handy and spray soapy water on ants. Do it often to get rid of the ants.

DUST MITES AND BED BUGS

Dust mites are so tiny that you’ll hardly notice their presence but they are everywhere; furniture, clothes, curtains, upholstery, soft toys, linen and more. Dust mites can be especially hazardous for people suffering from allergies or with breathing troubles such as asthma. And is someone in the house is coughing or sneezing without any visible traces of flu, chances are your house is under attack from dust mites.

Regularly vacuum around the house; all the shelves, linen, curtains, upholstery, books and all need to be cleaned regularly.

Wash laundries in hot water preferably 120ºF or more. Do read washing instructions for your clothes because not all clothes are advisably washable in hot water. However, try to keep linen and curtains that can be washed in hot water for rooms of people with allergies or asthma, because if not removed, dust mites can be really nasty.

There is special anti-dust-mite bedding available in the market that prevents dust mites. This is prescribed for allergy sufferers and asthma patients.

Tannic acid, a powder commonly available in health-food stores and pet stores, helps in curbing dust mite nuisance. Dust affected areas to curb the problem.

All this applies for bed bugs as well.

MOSQUITOES AND FLIES

Mosquitoes can cause some serious harm by causing malaria, dengue and more life threatening diseases. Even if a mosquito bite doesn’t cause a disease, it can still leave a rash on the skin. Mosquitoes breed in water hence as a measure of prevention all stored/still water should be either gotten rid of or changed regularly. Places like birdbath, pet’s water bowl, water collected in the garage, wading pools, water plants, fish bowls etc. should be cleaned regularly and water should be changed at least once in 2-3 days. Here’s what you can do to get rid of mosquitoes and house flies:
  • Herbal Armor, a non-toxic, natural repellent is said to work as a great mosquito repellent.
  • Citronella Bees wax and soy candles can be very effective in chasing mosquitoes away from a small, less breezy place, say if you are sitting in the patio or deck or some similar place.
  • Azadirachta Indica oil. Azadirachta Indica is medicinal tree native to tropical and semi-tropical regions. It is commonly found in India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Myanmar and other South East Asian countries. The oil (commonly known as Neem Oil, Indian name for Azadirachta Indica) is a very good natural repellent for mosquitoes. Apply it all over the skin. It is non-allergic and is said to have good effect on the skin. Avoid eyes and lips, as the oil is quiet bitter.
  • Apply eucalyptus oil or keep a bunch of eucalyptus leaves where you are sitting. It is a natural repellent for mosquitoes.
  • For flies, non-toxic flytraps are easily available in the market.

COCKROACHES

Cockroaches are the yuckiest of all pests. Cockroaches breed fast so if not curbed, the cockroach menace can spread all across the house including your cupboards, kitchen shelves, sink, bathroom, and closets, everywhere. Getting rid of cockroaches can also be quiet a task because these pests can hide in the tiniest of the holes or seams and you might not even be aware of.
  • The soapy water you prepared for ants works on cockroaches as well. Spray it on the cockroach and it will die.
  • Leave natural ingredients like bay leaves, garlic and cucumber slices in area where cockroaches are commonly found.
  • Leave catnip sachets are vulnerable places. Catnip is natural and non-toxic to humans and pets leaving cats. Do not use catnip if you have a pet cat.
  • If nothing seems to work get the non-toxic roach trap.

Top Stores That Offer Fashion And Style For Less

Looking out for stores that stock good looking, affordable clothing? We’ve put together a list some of our favorites, with specifics on what to look for in each.

There’s so much of variety in the market that choosing what you actually want and from where from, becomes quiet a task. With countless stores, huge variety of merchandise, wide range of price options and several deals & offers available, you are left confused more often than not.

So, if have shopping on your mind, you should start with a list of things you need. A list will help you get the things you really want and will also help keep focus.

Since these stores also sell online, you can actually shop from the convenience of your home.

Macy’s

We recommend it for: Men’s formal wear, women’s and children apparel and jewelry.

Macy’s is the bargain super store. Look out for special offers like “One-day sales” to help you save. You can also check out coupons to get you great deals on your shopping from Macy’s.

Nordstrom

We recommend it for: Formal dresses, fashion apparel, Nordstorm’s in-house brands, sweaters, splurges, and exceptional sales.

When you look at the Nordstrom collection, you see premium brands like Hugo Boss, Michael Kors, Prada to name a few, and you instantly know this won’t be “affordable” shopping. But Nordstrom’s in-house brands offer superb style at amazingly reasonable prices. Although Nordstrom’s not on a year-long sale, but when they do offer discounts, it’s worth every bit.

Bealls Florida

We recommend it for: Casual wear, accessories, kids’ wear There’s no denying that Bealls’s stuff looks good. But the best part remains to be the prices. At Bealls you can get some really cool stuff at amazingly low prices and if you top it with discount coupons, you get a steal.

Old Navy, Gap, & Banana Republic

We recommend them for: Top class fashion apparel There’s a reason these three are listed together. The owning company for all these three brands is the same. Brand placing for the three brands is where the difference lies. Old Navy is more of a bargain family brand, Banana Republic, although luxurious, claim to be affordable luxury and Gap is more for the style conscious. When shopping any of these brands, do look out for discount coupons. You have them available year-round and with coupons you really wouldn’t mind drifting a little from your list.

Lands End

We recommend it for: Family fashion, accessories They have a certain thing about their styling and quality that has made them so popular. The fit for men and women clothes is amazing, the quality is superb and prices are within reach. During sale time you can get tees for as low as under $10.
