ISLAND LIFE SHORTS
Microfiber cloths among fave products

Advertiser Staff and News Services

From www.realsimple.com/products, here's a list of cleaning products people love the most:

  • Microfiber dusting cloths: Designed to dust all the surfaces in your home. Throw in the wash when you are done to re-use again and again.

  • Upright sweepset: Save your back by skipping the stoop-and-sweep routine.

  • The vent brush: Perfect for cleaning refrigerator coils, vents and tight spots.



    HEALTHIER DIETS



    MAKE FRUITS AND VEGGIES MUST-HAVES IN MEALS

    Fruits and vegetables are good to eat anytime. Squeeze in a serving of fruit by adding a banana or strawberries to cereal. Choose tossed greens instead of mac salad for lunch. Pack an apple and baby carrots to snack on during the day. For dinner, double your veggies or have fresh fruit for dessert. Little changes can add up to big health benefits. See www.healthyhawaii.com for more suggestions.

    FINAL WORD

    "I think all of us are paying a lot more attention to (the environment). When you start seeing the temperature change in your vineyard, you start to pay more attention to it."
