Purchases I am Particularly Enjoying at this Time

This post is my version of 5-Bullet Friday, but without nearly as much reflection and also with an ulterior motive. If you buy anything on this list, kindly report back. I'm on an investigative mission.

I have had an Amazon reseller account for going on a decade and have yet to earn a single solitary shekel from Bezos. The process is rigged, I tell you.

Like if someone clicks through on a blog link, but buys the item in a different size or color or model, all bets are off and no soup for you, blogger person. In the good news department, I personally have other methods to earn my soup.

However, and this is important: Tom and I are engaged in a fierce battle to see who can earn more money on the internet. Tom used to win every year back when YouTube was fair, but in 2019 I might be ahead. I've raked in almost $16 so far and it's only July. My biggest money maker continues to be the Cher post. It's the gift that keeps on giving in the RPM department.

Anyway, onward and upward. Here's my most favorite purchases in the past few months for you to admire and perhaps covet for your very self:

Ailifefort Water Flosser. This thing is amazing. I have the kind of teeth that hamster away snacks for later on. This thing you can take in the shower with you and squirt the bejesus out of your gum line. Plus, no more flossing with floss that is potentially coated in that teflon chemical that causes cancer. So many plusses.




Really good Matcha Tea. Excellent Matcha can be yours in the comfort of your own home. Just take half a teaspoon of this stuff whipped up with one of those latte milk frother contraptions like the one Tom got me for my birthday five years ago and which I never used. Or get one of those bamboo brush things if you want to do things by the book.

Note for the record there's all different grades of Matcha and it took me a while to trial & error my way into discovering this one. You're welcome.



Wait what? Scrubber pads that are biodegradable as well as work really well? These things scrub with the best of them. I am conducting an experiment of their alleged "biodegradability" however. I have inserted several in a flower bed and I am checking periodically if they are still there.




Aquasana water filter: I like this thing. When I first got it, I thought it leaked, but then it straightened itself out as if by magic because I don't think I did anything to solve the problem. I appreciate this device because it's one of the few water filters that takes chemicals and other minute crap out of water. This is because the Aquasana is electric. It squeezes the water through a very very finely grained filter. If it wasn't electric, it would take hours to trickle through. That's why it filters stuff the Brittas and the other not electric filters do not.

Sadly, however, you cannot filter your water in the event of a blackout, as experienced on July 13, 2019 which is exactly 42 years after the big NYC blackout in 1977 also on July 12. That is a freaky coincidence.



That's only four things, but I'm going to stop here mainly because I have other things to do right now. For example, I might go out and dig around in the flower bed to check if the scrubber pads have decomposed.
