"Boston Terror" Chronicles: North Vs. TubNub (and Microfiber Towel)
Although I like to think North is pretty neutral to bath time, his pals at Wag Hotel tell me he loved the hydromassage he got on his last stay. In an attempt to recreate that at home, I tested out the FURminator TubNub ($13) on my pooch. A rubbery tool with nubs to massage a pet, work in the shampoo, and stimulate hair follicles during bath time, North seemed to enjoy this easy massage and it left my other hand free to hold him steady.

Cut Cleaning Time With Microfiber Towels
Recently on CasaSugar, we've been looking for ways to cut down on home cleaning time. Readers offered up their personal tips and had some great suggestions.
A few months ago, I switched to microfiber towels to clean my home's sinks, floors, windows, tabletops,and mirrors—basically, anywhere I'd previously been using rags or paper towels.
Kena Kai Bandanas
Hair (especially when it's drenched with sweat) can really get in the way of a good workout. Cotton bandanas just don't cut it for me and while I love wearing hats, I am not always in the mood.
Seeing a need for a bandana that is functional and cute, Kena Kai created Microfiber Bandanas ($17.99, for one 24"x 24" bandana) that are at least 5X more absorbent than cotton bandanas, are naturally more anti-bacterial than cotton and they're actually cute!

Low-Maintenance Must-Have: Microfiber Towel
Sometimes it's just too much trouble to subject yourself to a long hair-drying routine. But if you leave the house with dripping wet hair, it's hard to make sure it will look nice when it dries, and you might catch a cold to boot.

Do You Ever Dry Your Hair With Paper Towels?
Recently, while perusing the Tabatha's Salon Takeover website (have you joined my We Love Tabatha group, by the way?), I came across a tip that I really hadn't heard before, although it seems to be reserved for the more frizz-prone or curly-haired set. Instead of rubbing water out with a towel, simply squeeze the moisture out with paper towels. The theory is that the softer texture of paper towels is less aggressive than than rougher-textured terry cloth towels.
Consumer Reports: How to Make Pricey Appliances Last
The cost of maintaining a home and appliances is often a major deterrent for those debating whether to rent or purchase a home. The unexpected expense of fixing leaky gutters and broken dishwashers can be budget breaking if it comes at the wrong time of month. Not to mention it's a huge pain.
