Handy Household Items to Make Your Life Easier Over 50

As a blogger and Amazon Influencer, I am often sent many kitchen and household items to try. When I find something I love, I share it with my readers.

I especially enjoy household items that make our lives easier as we age. And I’m not talking about the commode chairs or toilet rails that brands want to send me just because I’m a senior. I’m talking about fun stuff to use to cook, clean, relax and enjoy. 

Below are several items I am impressed with. Let me know what you think of them in the comments below this post.

Marchpower Portable 2 in 1 Toothbrush and Water Flosser

I have been using the Marchpower 2 in 1 toothbrush and water flosser for a while and I love that it combines a toothbrush and flosser in one compact unit. It’s attractive on your sink and is easy to take anywhere. The device comes with 3 brush heads and 1 jet tip and has 3 brushing and flushing modes.

It’s rechargeable with a USB cable rather than a plug.

I found it to be gentle and pleasant to use but it also effectively cleans the teeth. It’s white and matches any decor.

Cold Brew Coffee Maker Heavy Duty Mason Jar

I love a great pot of cold brew and want to drink more iced green tea. I was looking for a small pitcher to chill in my fridge and found this heavy-duty mason jar cold brew /iced tea set. It was exactly what I was looking for.

First off, I love mason jars and think they are cool! This one is made with heavy glass so it’s extra sturdy. It has an infuser that you can insert to hold coffee grounds, loose tea, or tea bags. Fill it with water and stick it in your fridge for several hours. There are instructions in the box on how to make the best coffee or tea.

It’s super simple, comes with two types of spout lids, and will fit most refrigerators.

Ultimate Probiotic Yogurt Maker

If you experience gut issues, it helps to eat more foods with probiotics including yogurt. But not all store-bought yogurt has the probiotics you may need. I got to try out the Ultimate Probiotic Yogurt Maker and made homemade yogurt with probiotics and prebiotics I chose myself.

Watch my video to see how it works.

You can use a yogurt starter or your favorite probiotic capsules. It was so easy and takes about 36 hours. 8 jars come in the box, but you can also use other containers. My yogurt turned out great and I will be making lots more.

Homemade Salad Dressing Blender

Homemade salad dressing is often healthier and has fewer calories than store-bought brands. I prefer to make my own from scratch. I like to mix my homemade salad dressing with my Emulstir blender by Chef’n. It has a pump stirring mechanism that perfectly blends the ingredients. That way it’s ready to go when I need it. Twist the top slightly to drizzle the dressing on the salad without splashing.

The Chef’n Emulstir blender seals completely so it does not leak and is an attractive item to place on your table when guests come for dinner.

Bissell Crosswave FloorWave Floor and Area Rug Cleaner

If you are tired of wringing out an old-fashioned mop, you will love this Bissell Floor and Area Rug Cleaner. It delivers the perfect amount of water to your floor and dries almost immediately so you have no danger of slipping. This lightweight device has a hard floor and rug mode and both do an excellent job cleaning.

Clean area rugs easily without clogging up your washing machine.

When you’re done, empty the water container until the next time.

HexClad Hybrid Cookware

HexClad cookware has been endorsed by Chef Gordon Ramsey. It is a brand known for its innovative hybrid design with unique hexagonal patterns on the surface. It is non-stick with stainless steel surfaces and has an aluminum core for even heat distribution. Cook at a slightly lower temperature than normal.

It is compatible with gas, ceramic, and electric cooktops. The stainless steel is resistant to scratches even using metal utensils. The skillet and glass top I demonstrate in the video below are sleek in design, easy to clean, and will cook food beautifully. The non-stick surface is non-toxic and free of harmful chemicals.

Belwares Large Plastic Cutting Board

Are you using a wooden cutting board for items like meat? Bacteria can grow easily so it’s best to have a separate cutting board made of easy-to-clean plastic.

Belwares large cutting board has a juice groove and can be used on both sides. It’s dishwasher safe, non-porous, and BPA-free.

The board is white, with black handles on each side, and is an attractive item to have in your kitchen.

Runstar Body Composition Monitor and Scale

Nowadays, checking your weight means more than how much you weigh on a scale. The Runstar Body Composition Monitor and Scale does so much more than that. It checks 28 body composition data points. They include weight, body age, left arm muscle, right arm muscle, water weight, subcutaneous fat, fat-free body weight, bone mass, BMR, muscle mass, body water, BMI, visceral fat, body fat, fat mass, protein, left-leg muscle, right leg muscle, left leg fat, obesity level, ideal body weight, skeletal muscle, right leg fat, left arm fat, right arm fat, muscle rate, body type, and protein mass.
