8 Products that Help with my Disability

By

 


As my mobility changes, I am always looking for easier ways to do things and improve pain. I’ve found these items to be very helpful. Whether you are a wheelchair user,  frequently get colds or flu, or have arthritis, these items may be for you.

I do receive a small commission if you purchase items through these links.


 1.        EaZyHold


The EazyHold products have been extremely helpful since I injured my arm  last April. I have them on my toothbrush, utensils, and water bottles. EaZyHold is also good for young kids learning to hold things.

 

 2.   The Comfy for Your Feet


These aren’t quite socks or slippers, they are incredibly soft and warm booties. The thing I really like about them is they are very easy to put on and take off. Even  though they are lo0se,  they don’t fall down. 

 

3.  HurtSkurt

After I broke my humerus, I was looking for everything I could to ease the pain. I found the HurtSkurt and use it all the time. Keep it in the freezer for long lasting cooling. It will work on the wrist, arm, knee, or ankle, conforming to your body.


4.        Smart Lock

The best purchase I have made in years was getting a Smart Lock with Video for my front door. Getting up isn’t so easy and making it to the door to find out it was just an Amazon driver dropping something off is a waste of my energy. Now, I can see who is at my door with my phone, and decide if I need to get up.


5.        Adaptive Clothing at Kohl’s

I have a port to make infusions easier. It’s difficult to access without undressing or having adaptable clothing. This clothing is usually very expensive. Kohl’s now has a line that provides Velcro and magnetic openings. I picked up a hooded sweatshirt that uses magnets to close to go with the tops that open by the neck for the port.

 

6.        Full Leaf Tea Company Mullein Tea

I’ve heard a lot about Mullein Tea to help with breathing issues. I decided to try it for myself when Full Leaf Tea Company sent me some samples. It’s not a cure for lung issues, but I do find it helpful when I need to breathe better.


7.        Flipbelt


It’s difficult to carry a pocketbook in a wheelchair. I use fanny packs a lot, but they can be bulky, and some airlines will consider them your one and only personal item. The Flipbelt is thin enough to fit under your clothes, but has room for your bordering pass, credit card, cash, and passport.

 

 

8.        Autocane

Have you ever tried to climb into a truck or van and needed extra support? I discovered this inexpensive gadget that fits into the door latch and provides support for climbing. The Autocane is small enough to keep in your car for anyone who might need it.

Cheers to the Holidays

The holidays are often a time for me to try some interesting spirits, new and old. This year is no different. Rumchata options… Rumchata has been a favorite of mine since it first hit the market. I love cordials that you don’t have to get too creative with if you aren’t in the mood. I love it straight over ice, but you can mix it with just about anything. They even sell a gift box that includes shot glasses so you can measure perfectly. One of the options for Rumchata is to put it in your coffee and the company has no made that even easier with Rumchata Creamer. This is not a flavored creamer, it has the real liquor in it and it will make your coffee into a major treat. Another cordial to enjoy… I wasn’t sure what to expect from Tippy Cow Peppermint Bark , but it was a perfect mix of sweet, creamy and minty, without too much of any of those.  My friends devoured the mini bottles (great for picnics) chilled. I managed to put one aside to have with...

11 Things You Need to Take on Your Cruise

There are many different cruise lines and countless types of ships, but one thing most have in common is lack of space for your things. The closets are small and bathroom storage is often non-existent. That doesn’t mean you can’t maximize the space for you and your cabinmate(s). I’ve been on many cruises, and it’s taken me decades to get to the point where I have everything I need in my cabin. How many outfits you decide to bring and whether or not you are bringing clothing along for a formal night is a very personal decision, but the items below will definitely make your trip more comfortable and your cabin more efficient. 1.        Power Strip or Cube Cruise cabins, especially in older ships, are notorious for not having enough outlets. A power strip can be great to make sure you can plug in all of your devices. Check before you purchase   one, though. Some ships will not let you bring power strips with surge protectors. If you aren’t sure, a power cu...

An Assortment of Goodies for your Inside and Out

A lot of products have come in the last month or two. I’m catching up as fast as I can, but I always want to try something before I promote. When it comes to health and beauty products, that means trying a few times. As always, my policy that is I write about the good things I want to pass along. Anyone who sends products for sampling knows that it will only be written about if I like it. That goes the same for my Amazon Influencer page .  Hello, Miss Spa… I love finding good skin care that I can buy (for a reasonable price) in my local drugstore. Miss Spa sent me two products that are going to continue to be part of my beauty routine. Hydration Hookup is a “skin quenching serum.” It contains Hydraulic Acid and CoQ10. I used it on my face for two weeks and I really like the results. Though I didn’t feel it hydrating enough for my face, a serum should be followed by a moisturizer and I just made it a richer one for my dry skin. What I did see was that my skin wa...
