Stretch Your Favorite Shoes to Fit You Right

I’ve discovered that at a certain age, our feet begin to get bigger. I own many pairs of nice-looking dress shoes that I haven’t been able to fit on my feet and now, voila, they’re all coming back out again. The shoe stretcher is like a pair of shoe horses, but they have a clever little screw so you can push them to stretch.

So far this device has proved to be a valuable asset and has brought back many pairs, both sneakers and leather dress shoes.

Just being able to get one pair to fit better makes this a worthy gift for anyone!

Still Wiping with Paper? Join the Cleaner People with Tushy!

I have always been impressed with how well bidets work to clean up after you use the toilet. I have enjoyed them across the finest hotels in Europe, and on a Japan Airlines Dreamliner headed to Tokyo!

Almost every bathroom in Japan has a bidet, and now you can too. The Tushy is a home model, very easy to install and does the same job, using water instead of paper for your after toilet clean up.

It took me ten minutes to unscrew the toilet set and hook the water to the unit then screw the toilet seat back on. SCORE! This is a simple plastic device that really works–if you want hot water you’ll need to spend a whole lot more. But if you want something simple, the Tushy is a good solution to a common problem.
