____ 1. Finding constellations in the night sky. When was the last time you went outside in the dark and identified a constellation? It's pretty easy to do these days with phone apps. One I like is called SkyView...it allows you to point your iPhone, iPad, or iPod at the sky to identify stars, constellations, satellites, and more. There are tons of apps on the market, depending on the phone or device you're using, so if you're interested, definitely try out a few. At any rate, in my mind, life doesn't seem so hectic or overwhelming when I'm outside in the dark of night, resting on a blanket, looking at something extremely beautiful. Begin your stargazing by finding easy-to-spot constellations, like the Big Dipper, Orion, Little Dipper, Cassiopeia, and Taurus.

____ 2. Clean, fresh sheets. I love getting into bed and falling asleep on clean, fresh sheets. It's such a simple pleasure that I'm grateful to have. In my house, bed linens are laundered once every 10 days or so...or more often on the rare occasions that someone is ill. According to CNET, 'A 2017 survey by Coyuchi, a home textile company, found that only 44 percent of the 1,000 Americans surveyed wash their sheets once or twice a month. Just 11 percent get around to it around once a season and 5 percent decrust their sheets only once or twice a year.' Waiting every two weeks is probably not too bad, but every time you get in your bed, the sheets get covered with dead skin cells, as well as oils from your skin, plus saliva and sweat. Dust mites feed on all of these. I know...yuck! That's why, if you haven't stripped your bed in a while, you should probably do so now and head to the laundry room.

____ 3. A tablecloth that's spill-proof and wrinkle-proof. Good quality tablecloths are always good to have around the house. I always have one on our kitchen table, and one on our dining room table whenever we have company. I love this particular tablecloth because it's spill-proof (all liquids, even wine, beads up and can be quickly wiped clean with a sponge or napkin!) and wrinkle proof. The only time I've had to iron this tablecloth was when I first took it out of the package...to get the folds flattened out. Ever since, I just toss it in the washer and dryer...and put it right back on the table. No ironing needed. It comes in lovely colors to match most decor and several sizes. I have an oval table in the kitchen...the 60 x 84 inch one fit that table perfectly. The 60 x 120 inch fit my dining room table beautifully. I have a few of each in various colors so I can change up the look now and then. By far...my favorite tablecloths! For details, visit:

For super quick details, and a great video, about the world's sharpest knives, visit:

http://www.getorganizednow.com/rd-chef.html

Did you know that there's nothing more dangerous in the kitchen than cutting with dull knives? A dull blade requires more effort and pressure to cut. This means there's a higher chance the dull knife will slip with a lot of force behind it, increasing the chances of an injury...and possibly a visit to the ER.

This particular set of knives is very unique. They're incredibly lightweight and are super-strong (they can easily cut through a butternut squash and makes slicing meat a breeze). This is because they're made with a ceramic blade that is actually 10 times sharper than steel.

You've got to check them out. For details, visit:
