Furniture Living room: This and That

First off, HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!! Wishing you all a safe and happy holiday!

I have a variety of things for you today. First up, I have to share about Harbor Freight Tools. Do you have a store in your area? They have very low prices on all kinds of tools and you almost always get a free item with every purchase. You can order online if you don't have a store in your area.

Here is just a sampling of things my hubby just bought. All this was only $12 and the flashlight was free...

A three pack of work gloves, an infrared thermometer and a variable speed reversible drill.

Here's a link to their website if you're interested.

I recently posted a pic of my kitchen and several of you asked about the fryer on the counter. Here's a link to the one we have:

Target Deep Fryer

And here's a closer look:

My son bought it and made us some deep fried Oreos with it. Oh my...they were so good! He used a basic pancake batter, dipped the Oreos, fried them up, set them on paper towels and sprinkled powdered sugar on them. I always avoided them at the State Fair because they sounded gross to me, but boy was I wrong! They tasted like a homemade chocolate chip cookie. The Oreo gets completely soft and squishy during the frying process, which makes it so gooey and yummy. :)

Here are some pics of the deep fried Oreos he made...

This little deep fryer is great! It's only $25 at Target and the clean up is a breeze. All the oil is contained inside the machine and there's not any splatters to deal with. So nice!

In other news, I have to share some bra info with you. This may be TMI, but I'm going to share anyway. Ha!

So, you know how happy I am with my "old school" camisoles I finally tracked down, right? Here's a link to the blog post where I talk about them, with a link to purchase...

Old School Loose Fitting Cami

You can also just click HERE to order them. At only $8.49, they're a great deal!

Anyway, as I was saying, I love those camisoles (especially since they're loose fitting and not clingy like all those microfiber ones out there) but I was wondering if something else would also work under some of my white/light colored tops.

The camisoles do a great job, but I was wondering if a different color bra would be just as good. (I was mostly wearing white ones before) Anyway, I googled it and turns out I'm the last person on the planet to realize that a white bra is the totally wrong color to wear under a white shirt. Lol! What you want to wear with white or light colored tops is a nude color bra. Or at least something that's closer to your skin tone. Duh.

Don't know why I didn't think of this sooner. Better late than never, right?

Anyway, I got some that were a nude color (I think the actual color was "toasted almond") and you know what? They work PERFECTLY under white/semi-sheer/light colored tops! No need for a camisole under those now. With a nude color bra, you can't see the bra through the fabric! I still wear my camisoles under several other things, but for the most part, the nude bra works great.

***My friend Lauren just reminded me that the same goes for undies too...nude color is best with light colored pants. I need to stock up on nude bras and undies now. :)

Also, Cotton Candy grapes are back in season, y'all! I picked some up the other day and they were gone in no time. And yes, they taste exactly like cotton candy.
