Ooohhh favorite home products! I have many! :D

I love the lavender vanilla downy dryer sheets and fabric softner.

I'm a big fan of Origins room spray.

Must have huge bath towels, I have a whole closet full of towels so big I can wrap them around me once and a half!

Love The Good Home Company household cleaning supplies.

Have lots of soy candles everywhere. I like making my own but when I buy them, I always get Archipelago Botanicals. Pricey but soooo worth it.

Love my Hoover Floormate.

Also, love Perfect Glass for cleaning mirrors and glass tables. Nothing works quite like it.

I love Max Factor Stretch and Separate mascara...I hate clumpy lashes that look like dead spiders, and this gives me long lashes that aren't clumpy!

MaryB - Got the Sonicare. Where did you find travel jewelry cleaner, I need some of that.

Walmart Jewelry Department sells the travel jewelry cleaner. It comes in a red tube with a brush built into lid. Very thick, brush on and rinse off.

Home Products:

Everything Pampered Chef especially my new Professional Cookware!

PC Lemon Rosemary liquid Soap smell great, I wash my hands & my dishes with it.

Purple 409 cleans and shines everything!

My Shark Cordless Vacuum is also one of my favorites. Light weight, recharging stand, and picks up everything from cat litter to cat barf.

Bounty Fun Prints Paper Towels with Kitties on them

Hoover Floor Mate for cleaning tile and wood floors...never used it myself, but my housekeeper loves it!

Litter Maid Automatic Cat Pan Cleaner. No more messy stinky litter box.

Northern Double Roll Toliet Paper. I buy it by the big case!

All Sizes of Zip Lock Bags

Glad Press in seal... no more Saran Wrap for me!

Glad Handle Tie Kitchen trash bags...no other brand has been able to beat these for me.

banana Boat Suntan Lotion... Love the smell.

Listern Breath Strips...for the gross taste I have had in my mouth since being banded.

That Lazy Susan think that holds different size plastic container with the lids. I love this!

Anything Longenberger!

I forgot about Laundry products:

I was making my own laundry detergent for several years , but I got too busy to make it.

I now use ERA. I get it at Sam's Club in a big jug with a cool pour spout. Fast and easy.

I have always used Downey. I got a big jug with a cool pour spout on this one at Sam's once. I saved the jug and pour the new bottles into it now.

Dishwasher Soap - it is a small square with a pearl in the middle. Can't remember if it is Cascade or Electrosol....Sam's in big container.

I couldnt live without my Hoover Floormate! I have an entire houseful of hardfloors and barely any carpet, I hate carpet. Its such a massive job to wash the floors and they go streaky with an ordinary mop.

Homewise, I'm big on organic non chemical products. My current faves are awesome:

The bathroom spray smells like coconut suntain oil, and the all purpose one is really peppermint-y, and the smells linger and are really divine.

I also got addicted to Sportwash which I had to buy online from the USA. We did totally cloth diapers for Eliza and its an amazing world out there. There are so many incredibly gorgeous work of art cloth diapers that were so much fun to use. Sportwash leaves no residue in your clothing, so is awesome for diapers, particularly hemp ones, which can start to repel if you use things like fabric softner

www.luxebabydiapers.com

www.verybaby.com

were two of my faves. I reckon I spent thousands on nappies for Eliza but it was really fun.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
