3-in-1 Softie Wrap (9.544 out of 10)

This blanket-like-thing that zips so you can walk around in it has emerged as one of my top purchases of the year. Certainly, because I bought it with a gift certificate to Bed, Bath and Beyond, it was the best birthday present I received. As someone who is perpetually cold, I constantly cuddle in a blanket when I’m on the couch. With this wrap – you don’t have to uncuddle and recuddle when you get up to do something or get a drink or whatever. And it’s soooooo soft inside. I would have preferred a funky, fun color, but my chocolate brown does just fine. The only complaint is that my cats absolutely love it and race to claim their spot on it whenever I vacate the couch. Damn cats!

Nasal Strips (8.999 out of 10)

Wow. This is life-changing! And I didn’t get the brand-name nasal strips, I got the Target brand, but hells yeah – these are awesome. A lot of the NFL players were wearing them during last night’s Superbowl (only they were wearing black ones because black ones are more manly). I do recommend washing your face before you put them on if you have oily skin. Also, they’re a lot stickier than band-aids, so getting them off is a lot trickier unless you soak your nose a bit in the shower or have a higher pain tolerance. If you have trouble breathing during exercise and don’t care what the people at they gym think of you, they’re good for increased oxygen intake. As a person with crazy cedar allergies who can’t breathe at night in January, I say this product is a awesome!

I won’t however, put a pic of myself wearing one. Sorry, peeps, even Brendan doesn’t like to see that.
