Outdoor Solar Lighting

Looking for a way to add some light to your sidewalk? Want to save energy and create less work for yourself at the same time? Then check out these solar lights! They are perfect for outdoor use because during the day, they turn off and the batteries charge up via the sun’s energy, and at night they turn on. These units typically use LED lights, so they don’t need to be changed. The only work required on your part is deciding where to put them. They’re available in a wide variety of lighting types and configuration, so shop around and find what works best for your situation.

Lawn Chair with Table

Another nice thing I had up north this past weekend was a lawn chair with a built in table. It’s nice because I could have my chair set up around the bonfire with all my friends and the table could hold my plate of food, and the cupholder kept my beer from spilling. Everyone that had regular boring lawn chairs was jealous of my tabled superiority. The only way it could be better was if it had a robot to get me a new beer when my I finish one.

After Bite: The Itch Eraser

So, I was in northern Minnesota this past weekend. Being this is northern Minnesota, I spent a lot of time outside and in the woods, because that’s just what you do up there. However, I was quickly reminded the negative aspect of going up there…all the bug bites you get! They started itching like crazy the day after I got them. I brought along a tube of this After Bite stuff and put it on in an attempt to stop the itching. Lo and behold, it worked! It’s only temporary, but it’s still works very well. So, if you like being outdoors but hate being covered in bites and itching all the time afterwards, check this out. It will help.
