Lea's Prime Purchases



I know, I know, I've been MIA for a while but thought I'd  do a Prime Purchase entry for all those of you that have missed them.  It seems to be a favorite of many, and I do enjoy sharing my "finds" with you because they may resonate with you as they did with me.  I keep thinking I'll get back to regular blogging as well but.......... Perhaps that will happen in the not so distant future, but, for now, I'll try to keep up the Prime Purchase entries.

OSTRICH  FEATHER  DUSTER





I do love our high ceilings but, dusting/cleaning the ceiling fans , door facing tops, tops of window facings, etc.  You get the drift.  This duster is GREAT!  Is it as good as a cloth that I would use with my hands? NO! But, it's as good as it's going to get around here.  Ladders are out of the question at this point for sure, so I'm more than happy with the results of this dandy feather duster that extends to the length I need.  AND, it's lightweight, another good thing.  

AMAZON


OUTDOOR  CHAIR  CUSHION


Some of our outdoor furniture was in need of new cushions this spring.  In the past, Amazon has had little to no selection.  But, this year, they have all kinds of choices in all sizes and patterns.  They no longer have this pattern in stock but they have several other choices in stock.  They are so well made and are in the weather/sun resistant fabric.  We are very pleased.



SMALL  SILK  SCARF

I do love a short neck scarf but haven't worn them in several years.  Well, they're making a comeback and Amazon has a HUGE selection at really good prices. I think they can be such a nice addition to an outfit.  I ordered a few in some different patterns.


APPLE  CORER



How did I not know about this little jewel?  My daughter told me about this a few weeks ago and I immediately went and ordered it.  It is so, so easy to use and then you just slice the apple and eat away.  I do love a good kitchen gadget!




WHITE  DENIM  JACKET


Who doesn't love a denim jacket?  This one is so cute and I do love the frayed hem.  I end up wearing a jacket even in the hottest of months because so many places I go are so cold on the inside.  That's especially true when eating out or going to church.  I liked this jacket so much that I got the black one as well.  I mean "if one is good, two is better." Right? 😀 It comes in several colors.




FASINATOR


I recently needed either a hat or a fascinator for an event I was attending.  I saw these and decided I would go with a fascinator.  Well, it was too cute, clipped in my hair so easily and was ONLY $10. It comes in about 20 different colors so if you need a little "snazz" in your life, order yourself one. I may never have a need to wear one again so I was very pleased it was so inexpensive. 



CONAIR  CLOTHES  STEAMER


I've had a clothes steamer for years but my last one "bit the dust." I browsed through Amazon and this seemed to be highly rated so I ordered it.  I made a good decision.  It has the best burst of steam and does a fantastic job.  If you need a steamer, I highly recommend this one.

AMAZON


SKIRTED CAPRI LEGGING



Ladies, these are toooooooo cute and soooooooooo comfortable! I wear them running errands and such.  They are cute enough to wear most anywhere.  And, there are so many different prints to choose from.  Get yourself some.



ATHLETIC  QUICK DRY T-SHIRT


I ordered this cute shirt to wear with the above skirted capri leggings.  It comes in many different colors as well.  Both wash beautifully.




CORDLESS  HOT  GLUE  GUN


Every so often I need/want a hot glue gun.  My granddaughter had this one and it is the "bees knees."  I mean, it's cordless and who has time for a bothersome cord on a hot glue gun.  It is so easy to use, heats up extra fast and I think they are a great item to have on hand.



LIGHTED  MAGNIFYING  GLASS


I know that I am "older" but surely even the younger crowd has a hard time reading directions on some over the counter meds, vitamins and the such.   Lord have mercy, could they possibly print them any smaller! Well, it's no longer an issue for me with this little "jewel." I'm pretty sure I will find other uses for it as well.




TRELLIS  FOR  CLIMBING  PLANTS


If you should need a trellis for a pot then these are for you.  We have two Mandevilla plants in pots and we needed trellis that would work in a pot.  These are perfect and look so nice.  I've about decided that whatever you might be looking for, Amazon likely has it.  It's insane but oh, so, convenient!



RETAINE  EYE  DROPS


I've decided that if you are over 55 you likely have issues with dry eyes.  Goodness, it is so aggravating and I'm always looking for the next "best thing" when it comes to drops.  I have a prescription drop but these seem to be even better.  They come in vials and I get three uses out of each vial.  One of my sweet friends told me about these and I'm so glad.



ADJUSTABLE  SHEPHERD'S  HOOK


If you have a heavy hanging basket that you want to hang on a Shepherd's Hook then this "bad boy" is exactly what you need.  We like to hang baskets of asparagus ferns in our flower beds.  They can be a bit heavy and cause a regular Shepherd's Hook to lean and that looks so tacky and aggravates me too death.  I knew they had to make some for heavier baskets and sure enough they do.  The 5 prongs keep it level and it is made of heavy duty metal.  Again, Amazon to the rescue!



JERGENS  NATURAL  GLOW  SELF  TANNER


I've likely shared this awesome find before but it's worth repeating.  This is the BEST self tanner I have ever used and believe you me, I've tried way too many of them.  This comes in Fair to Medium and Medium to Dark.  It is creamy, applied with your bare hands, dries quickly and afterwards you have a very natural tan glow.  It provides me with the perfect natural looking tan and it's only $10 a tube that will last a very long time.  A small amount goes a long ways.  Give it a try!



SEMI-CIRCLE  CUSHION  FOR  OFFICE  CHAIR


I have a wonderful office chair in our home office.  BUT, the seat is too deep and I've tried several "make shift" solutions to no avail.  Again, I began browsing Amazon and ran across this very odd looking pillow configuration.  The best part, for me, it WORKS!  The whole concept is genius. It supports me from my lower back up through my shoulders.  Win! Win!  I can't imagine how someone's mind worked to design something such as this ~ just sayin'



Well, that was fun and I hope you enjoyed reading about my recent "finds."  I'm going to do my best to get back to regular posting of my Prime Purchases.

Until next time, I leave you with this.................

January and February Prime Purchases



I must first apologize for not having a January Prime Purchase.  Some of you have asked me about it and I just couldn't seem to get it together.  I came down with the flu on Christmas Eve and it pretty much ruined my Christmas.  I was a sick puppy, as sick as I have been in a very long time. That set me back and I was so behind on several things that a Prime Purchase post was on the bottom of my list.  ~just being honest~  

But, I am excited to share a "double doozie" with you today and I'll try not to let that happen again.  I was thrilled to find that many of you really enjoy this post and often see an item that you add to your cart as well.  I enjoy recommendations too, so I'm happy I can recommend some of my "finds" to you as well.


JEWELRY  BOX


First, let me just say that I am NOT a fan of jewelry boxes.  I probably haven't had one in 40-50 years. But, I decided a couple of months ago that I wanted "something" to put my nicer fashion jewelry in.  I have stored my jewelry in the smaller, various size bead bags for years. That protects it and keeps the necklace, bracelet and earrings all together and I never have to hunt to find matching pieces. And, it makes grabbing it when we travel "easy peasy."  This box has worked beautifully for my nicer pieces. They are protected, easily seen and it holds a lot.  And, it's so attractive and comes in several colors. So, if you are looking for a nice jewelry box, I highly recommend this one.

AMAZON


LUCKY  BRAND ANKLE  BOOT


I have 2-3 pair of Lucky Brand ankle boots but I did not have a brown pair.  Now, I do. They are the perfect height and very comfortable.

AMAZON


BURST  PRO  SONIC  TOOTHBRUSH


I was in need of a new electric toothbrush when I saw my dentist in December.  She recommended this one and I really like it.  One charge lasts for probably a month and it recharges very fast.  It comes in white and this rose gold.

AMAZON


NATURAL  ACACIA  SLIDING  APPLIANCE TRAY


The appliance pull tray I have used for years finally "bit the dust" recently.  As I was browsing looking at what was available, I ran across this one.  It was exactly what I wanted and needed and it is so attractive.  I love Acacia wood and this works so smoothly pulling my coffee pot in and out from under the cabinet.  It's super sturdy too, no wobble whatsoever.

AMAZON


MICROFIBER  MOP  PADS


Our entire house has hardwood floors (ceramic in bathrooms) and when you have wood floors there are times you have to have a dust mop.  I have one of the old fashioned dust mops but I much prefer these smaller pads that fit right on to a Swiffer mop head.  I use them  under furniture, behind doors and places hard to reach with a vacuum  cleaner.  I really think these are superior to a vacuum cleaner as they grab dust and cob webs so much better.  I love the way they clean!

AMAZON 


CREVICE  CLEANER  BRUSHES


I'm sure by now you have figured out that I LOVE anything that makes cleaning easier and more thorough. I saw these brushes and was sure I had a need for them.  They are especially great around the base of a commode, and ceramic tile.  I'm sure I'll find more uses the longer I use them.

AMAZON


PROTEIN  INFUSED  WATER


In recent years I have really become aware of how important protein is in our daily diets. I'm always looking for easy ways to get protein and this protein infused water hit the spot.  I have not seen it in any stores in our area so, of course, I went straight to Amazon and there is was.  I first saw it on Tick Tock.  I was a bit concerned that I would not like the taste but I like it very much.  It comes in a variety pack and a peach/mango pack.  I love peach and mango so that's the flavor I went with and I drink at least one a day and one bottle has 15 grams of protein.  The down side is that it is a bit pricey.

AMAZON


NON-SLIP  HANGERS  FOR  SWEATERS



I may have featured these before because this is my second time to order them.  They are the absolute best hanger for sweaters and heavy knits.  They prevent hanger indentions on the shoulders and nothing can slide off of them.  I love them!

AMAZON


IRONING  BOARD  COVER



I cannot remember the last time I've had a new ironing board cover but it's been wayyy toooo looong. My old one had definitely seen better days.  Of course, I immediately went to Amazon and began browsing and what a selection they had.  I thought this was an attractive print and would make me happy as I iron, so I ordered it and am so pleased.  It comes with a pad and the fit was perfect!

AMAZON


In closing.........And, for those of you that haven't heard, my precious Daddy went to be with Jesus last Wednesday night. He began going downward over the weekend and on Monday, January 27th, he was hospitalized.  It was downhill from there until he drew his last breath on Wednesday evening.  My youngest brother and his wife arrived Tuesday afternoon and he and I had some very precious moments with Daddy that we both will treasure forever.   I'll be trying to find my new "normal" since I've been the overseer of his care for the past 14 years. It will be so different but I rejoice in his homegoing as he is enjoying a glorious reunion. in his new body with eyes that can now see.
