Well finally I am back from holiday and hope you are all settled back into work and life for 2009.   I found some really cool things over the holidays which I want to share with you and have some more updates on my New Year New You section as well.

This product really needs little explanation but was definitely one of my coolest discoveries in the holidays.  I do need to however clarify this great find though, it’s not so much mine but my very clever friend Alison who came to stay with us at the beach.  What is it?  Well it’s Glad Ice Cube Bags, which you can buy at the supermarket. 

Now I know you’re saying that clearly I’ve had too much sun over the holidays, but wait, this really is cool.  We never have enough ice at the beach and we don’t have an icemaker.  The freezer isn’t huge so the trays often get tipped over and there just never seems to be enough ice.  It’s hot and we are always looking for cold drinks to take to the beach or have when we get back, and so now we can.

These bags are just the greatest invention, seriously all you do is hold the top of them over the tap and they fill up into cubes below, when full you just pull the bag off the tap, tip upside down to make it seal itself bingo is’s done.  Now put them in the freezer and wait for them to freeze.

When you are ready to use them, you pull them out of the freezer and then you squeeze the squares and your cubes just pop out.  How great is that, they lie flat in the freezer, are no mess and easy to use.  You can also keep them as a flat pack and use them to keep things cool in your chilly bag. 

Available: all major supermarkets                   

Price:$3.14 per box  (box contains 8 bags 192 ice cubes)
