Sky Shopping

Whew! Hi friends. I am back in Atlanta, seemingly for at least the next few weeks. What a busy summer! I have been jetting and driving off to weddings and work functions almost every week, and I have never been so glad to have a few at-home weekends in a row coming up. Granted, they aren't 100% free of plans, but what they do include are lazy mornings spent at home with my nonfat Chais, the newspaper and my PJ's. Hooray!

I have spent a lot of quality time with the airlines this summer, and as a result, I have read the Sky Mall magazine cover to cover. A few times. Nothing new was added over those few weeks, in case you were wondering :P

What normally is a bunch of less-than-useful items in that magazine actually sparked some interest in me, though, be it the late-night flights (there were a few) or the frequency with which I was reading the magazine. Regardless, I loved some of the products, and came THIS CLOSE to buying a few of them. Slash may buy some of them soon...


Removable Walk-through Door: I live in a high-rise, so screen doors aren't a common sight. However, in the few months weeks of the year when it is pleasant outside, I love having the sliding door open to take in the breezes. This would solve the issue and is removable, so my HOA wouldn't have a fit about it being a permanent fixture on the porch.


Collegiate Boat Fenders: If I owned a boat, these would be on my list. Though obviously I do not own a boat, because I was about to call these things "buoys" instead. Oh my.


SkyRest: I am pretty sure it was on the cross-country San Fran flight that this caught my eye, because I just could not get comfortable enough to nod off. Don't you kind of want to test this out in real life?


MobiValet: This would be a dynamite stocking stuffer for the smartphone addict in your family!
Mustache Mirror: Imagine how fun this would be for your next party if you had it smartly positioned in your foyer or by your bar!


Garden Stacker: We have a quaint mini herb garden growing on the patio right now. If I can keep this season's crop alive, this might be a worthy investment to add variety next year.


Magnetic Ironing Board: Budget-friendly and smart. No more hauling out the big board to press that collar into a fratastic pop.

Do any items in the SkyMall call to you when you flip through it's pages or browse online?
