Just say NO to Gloria Vanderbilt

I bought the capris on clearance at JC Pennys 2 weeks ago. I liked that they were black and loose in the butt and the legs. The fit well at the waist, leaving no marks.
So I was quite unhappy when I bent over to pick up a 40 lb box and heard the rip and felt the draft.
It was embarassing to tell my boss why I wanted to leave early. I only had 30 minutes left and he was leaving as well, so no big deal.

I get home and pull them off to check the damage and noticed that they were Gloria Vanderbilt capris. I can't believe I didn't notice the brand before or I wouldn't have bought them.

Because the last time I ripped the seat out of my pants, it was in Gloria Vanderbilt jeans that I had worn only twice before. Perfectly right down the seam of the butt both times. And the jeans were stretch and actually loose fitting.

I don't think I bought the wrong size both times because neither pair were tight.

I just need to remember that when I hunting clearance racks at certain stores to check the brand before I buy, because I think they have serious quality isse.

Ceramabryte

I love Ceramabryte.
I don't even have a ceramic cooktop stove and I use it.
Primarily in my bathroom for my ceramic shower tiles, it cleans and sparkles.
I use it on my chrome bath accessories.
It polishes jewelry.
I use it on my stainless steel sink. It still never stops amazing me how much black crap appears on the cloth. Especially a sink I rinse and clean every day. It even got the hard water stains off a friend's sink, that even barkeeper's friend couldn't get off.

So, I have a set of Wolfgang Puck knives. I love them, but they had little rust spots all over them, and they were less than a year old. Apparently, it's a common problem because Wolfgang cheaped out and used inferior Chinese stainless steel.
After searching online, and seeing that a lot of people were having problems removing the spots without scratching the knives, I used the Ceramabryte. And it took the rust spots off without a scratch.

Seriously, I just want to spread the love. Use it.
