Tell whether your faucet temperature is hot or cold at a glance with this LED faucet

When several people use the same faucet, you never know what water temperature you might experience when it’s your turn. With the LightInTheBox Temperature Sensitive Single Handle Centerset LED Lavatory Faucet, you no longer have to whip your hand in and out and risk scalding your skin to see if the water might be too hot. Just looking at the LED equipped faucet will tell you whether the temperature is cold (below 25° C/77° F = Green Light), warm (26-35° C/78-95° F = blue light), hot (36-45° C/96-113° F = red light) or approaching dangerous temperatures (above 45° C/113° F = flashing red light). 

According to the Burn Foundation,

Hot Water Causes Third Degree Burns…
…in 1 second at 156º
…in 2 seconds at 149º
…in 5 seconds at 140º
…in 15 seconds at 133º

…Hot tap water is a major cause of burn injury. As with other scald burns, young children and older adults are most at risk.

…Before placing a child into the bath or getting into the tub yourself…The temperature should not exceed 100º F/39º C. A child’s delicate skin will burn more quickly than an adult’s.

…[You should] Adjust the thermostat setting on your water heater to produce a water temperature of 120º to 125º or less.

In addition to adding a measure of safety to your bathroom, the LightInTheBox Temperature Sensitive Single Handle Centerset LED Lavatory Faucet adds a bit a color to it as well with the LED lights. The faucet is made of a solid brass body with a chrome finish and uses a tempered glass spout. It is powered by 4 AA batteries, measures 6″ x 4″ x 2″, installs in a single hole, and comes with two water hoses. It is available from Walmart.com for $54.99.

There’s no need for a guard dog when you have a GuardPeanut!

I got a giggle out of the thought of this gadget because I was imagining an angry little peanut screaming at the dog in a tiny voice, “There’s a new sheriff in town!” while protecting my bag of Doritos or something. However, after reading what it can do, I can definitely see how it could be useful.

This cute little smart anti-theft device will alert you when it is moved via Bluetooth connection to your smartphone or tablet. You could connect it to a door, your luggage, your purse, a bike, a backpack or that hidden snack stash in the cupboard you’ve been trying to catch someone raiding in the middle of the night…the options seem endless. The app allows you to view an unlimited timeline of the objects movement history as well so you don’t have to have constant Bluetooth connection in order to track the movement of something.  You can order a GuardPeanut on Amazon for $29.99 and get yourself some piece of mind knowing that your things are being watched over when you aren’t there.

Using Catchall could get you accused of being an organized person

It’s that time of year when decluttering and spring cleaning is at the forefront of everyone’s minds and procrastination with a side of stagnancy has been removed from the menu.  I feel the pressure and I don’t like it. How about this? In lieu of all that organizing and cleaning that I so dread, I’ll buy a Catchall or two as gifts (maybe for Father’s Day…notice me NOT procrastinating) so that I can enjoy the thought of a couple of lucky people in my life getting their “stuff” organized. 

This stand is a simple, two-piece design that allows the user to keep all of their important items in one place so they don’t have to guess where they may have left their keys, wallet, phone, etc. You could put your watch or bracelets on there, use it as a place to charge your phone or tablet, keep the book you’re currently reading close by, or even use it in the kitchen to hold your recipes while keeping your other important items neatly organized. It’s made of two unstained and sanded pieces of high-quality plywood that you could stain yourself or leave natural. The handmade Catchall by Jigsaw Furnishings can be purchased for $34.99 on Amazon today. Making this purchase qualifies as spring cleaning in my book!
