One of the biggest annoyances with having an aquarium is when it needs cleaning.

I have done it all from the garden hose leading from the tank and out the window into the garden to the bucket brigade.I have sucked and siphoned the dirty water from my various fish tanks and how I wish I had owned one of these – The Python No Spill Clean and Fill system.

What an effortless way to clean up your aquarium tank. This is a complete system that also cleans the gravel and your undergravel filters without the need for you to remove them when you are changing the water. 

So how does it work.

Well you simply attach one end to the faucet and the other end goes into the tank .

This excellent Python No Spill Clean and Fill system makes cleaning your aquarium so quick and easy you will wonder how you ever managed without it. It cuts down the time you spend cleaning, plus it’s easy on your back, no more lugging heavy buckets through the house dripping water.

Anyone who knows me knows that I am a candle buff. I have a large assortment of candles of different shapes, sizes and aromas.

Just recently I had some soy candles sent to me and apart from the lovely fragrances they are 99% soot free because there is no petroleum wax in these soy candles.

Soy candles seldom trigger allergies because they are non-toxic.

What I like about these candles are that apart from the absolutely delicious aromas is that they are not expensive which makes them  perfect for the cost conscious buyer .

Candle Bay have an nice range of beautiful Soy candles, just check out some of the fragrances available:

Erome Scented Soy Jar Candles – Persian Lime & Ginger (Tester)

Vacuuming is a necessary evil in every home. There are all sorts of different vacuums out there to adding to the confusion. If you have a multi storied home chances are you won’t want to lug a canister vacuum up and down the stairs.  So why not consider using a stick vacuum.

Stick vacuums are great for spot cleaning. They’re small compact and lightweight.  They can slide under furniture and get in those hard to reach places.

Another great benefit is the price. Being so inexpensive you can afford to buy one for each floor of your home. This means no lugging anything up or down the stairs.

The Hoover S2220 Flair Bagless Upright Stick Vacuum with Power Nozzle has an easily removable dirt compartment that can be rinsed out under the sink. In addition, the vacuum has plenty of air filtration so there’s no worry about kicking a bunch of dust up into the air when in use.

The vacuum comes with a 20-foot power cable, the perfect length for just doing a bit of spot cleaning. The cord wraps neatly around a couple hooks built into the unit.

One of the best features of this vacuum is that it can be used on multiple surfaces. You can use it on bare floors or the thickest of carpeting.  With just a flick of the switch you can turn the rollers off to work on hardwood or tile floors.

What We Like:

• Skinny, small, lightweight design is great for storage.  It sticks into a corner or closet without taking up too much valuable storage space.

• The vacuum comes with a really strong 7.4 amp motor that ensures all the dirt is lifted up off the floor.

• It comes with a 1-year warranty so you don’t have to worry about quality craftsmanship. This is a vacuum that will last for years.

A cardio workout is one of the biggest keys to staying healthy and in shape.

As we age though, going for a run can wreak havoc on the knees. That’s just one of the reasons ellipticals have become so popular over the last few years.

An elliptical trainer is extremely low impact you can glide through your work out without aggravating bad knees. This is a great choice for those with arthritis or who aren’t physically capable of going for a jog.

We’ve seen a lot of elliptical machines over the years but the Schwinn 430 Elliptical Trainer really caught our eye. It has a lot of features expected of high end professional gyms but at a great price.

What We Like:

Price is always a concern and the Schwinn comes in as a great bargain. You can see and feel the quality when you step on it for a work out.

It’s the little touches that make this so special.

The footpads follow your heels throughout the entire range of motion keeping your work out low impact.

Another great added feature is a pulse monitor built into the handholds. You’ll get constant real time monitoring of your heart rate greatly improving the efficiency of your work out.

We love that elliptical trainers give a full body work out. You aren’t just working your legs like you would on a treadmill.

The handlebars are comfortable and when you start ratcheting up the resistance it will really work those back, chest and arm muscles helping to improve your overall fitness.

The unit has a heavy 25 pound flywheel that when combined with current brake resistance means even the most fit of people will still be able to work up a sweat with this unit. It can go from effortless to exhausting with just a few button pushes.

So if you are serious about getting fit, do yourself a favor and BUY the Schwinn 430 Elliptical Trainer your body and your heart will thank you.
