Not Just Another Waste Bin

Lora Knows...

I wanted a new waste bin, and considering we have an automated one in the kitchen, I thought, why not get one for our bathroom too? This thought took me straight to Amazon, where my search began. I read reviews, watched video snippets, and ultimately settled on the perfect choice.

Enter the Mopall Small Bathroom Trash Can. It has a motion-sensing lid that operates on 4 AA batteries (not included), eliminating the hassle of a cord hogging an outlet. It is waterproof (not sure why since we don’t tend to shower with our waste bins). It uses 4-gallon bags, but the bags it comes with are yucky and tear easily. I’ve found the Glad 4-gallon bags are perfect. When putting a fresh bag in the bin it will automatically suction the bag to the sides, so no wasted space.

We like it so much, we got a second bin for our primary bathroom. Another great Amazon find.

Lora’s Amazon Find Score: 4.5/5 (rating reflects: yucky bags and no batteries included)

Organize Pesky Cords

Lora Knows...

In our world of stand mixers, air fryers, blenders and so many other small appliances that require cords, it just gets messy. I saw a post in Instagram that featured these clever little 3M cord organizers. I went to Amazon and found them featured here: Cord Organizer for Kitchen Appliances.

For $7.99 I could get three of them, and if they weren’t great, I could toss them or send them back. They arrived in a couple of days and were immediately put to use. They are a softer rubber so they mold to curve of the appliances. We put one on our food processor, stand mixer and blender, and now there are no more unsightly cords getting in the way. It’s only been a couple of days, but I think these will last quite a while, afterall they are 3M and did adhere very well.

Amazon Find: Koroda Roll Up Dish Drying Rack

Lora Knows...

I’ve never been a fan of a countertop dish rack, they take up prime counter space and never look neat. However, having a dish drying rack would be really convenient, especially for a quick wash up in the morning. I always have my juice glass, and Dean has his Bialetti moka pot and cup. Having a place to put them would be great, without having to dry them and put them away.

One day I was browsing Instagram and saw this drying rack. Could it be the answer to my drying rack woes? I went on Amazon and read through the reviews, looked at the pictures, and thought for $25.00 US, Prime free shipping, and free returns, I had nothing to lose!

It arrived the first week of January, and we’ve been using it since. It is great because it takes up very little space, is easy clean, and is small enough that it doesn’t allow for clutter.
