Daily Goods: Retail Therapy

Project Good Life is not a "shopping" blog per se, but we occasionally post various things that we have found through our retail therapy for the perusal of Good Life followers.  Here are a few favorites from the first weeks of 2012.

• The Husband purchased me a Kuering coffee brewer and I love it.  Why? I can pick various flavors of coffee or tea and brew one perfect cup, without having to brew an entire pot.  The clean up is easy (simply throw away a cartridge or "k-cup") and the brews delicious.  This is perfect for our guests because it allows them to make whatever types of coffee (decaf, caf, light, dark) or tea (herbal, black, iced) that they desire without having to commit the rest of the group to their choice.  Don't want to buy a pack of k-cups or love your speciality coffee grinds?  Have no fear, there is now a refillable k-cup filter that allows you to place whatever flavor you want into your Kuering brewer. 
• While I am on the topic of warm things, I thought I would make sure that all Good Life followers in the DC area know about, The SouperGirl, which has been making vegan healthy soups for DC residents for years.  I have enjoyed subscribing to the SouperGirl list serve (she will deliver your soup to you every week at your office) and was very pleased to learn that SouperGirl is now selling her lovely soups at the Dupont Circle Sunday Farmers' Market.  Think Global and Buy Local -- Check out the SouperGirl.
• Project Good Life is a little late to the Apple TV party, but we are loving it all the same.  Yes, we recently purchased an Apple TV and are now able to watch Netflix and other things from our I-Pad and I-Phones on our large screen home television.  Apple TV is not terribly expensive ($99) and can replace the need for expensive cable channels. 
• Finally, I am staying organized this year with PocketTheDate, a nifty calendar/organizer that I purchased for my mom and me just before the holidays. PocketTheDate is a spiral organizer with pockets for each month (and a monthly calendar) that makes it easy to keep up with event invitations and coupons that will expire by placing them in pockets for each month.  I've loved using this organizer to go through my mail -- and that it has helped me contain the mail clutter we get has also made the Husband very happy.
