I went to Home Depot and the colour I saw didn't look at all like in the pictures here. Either that or my laptop's screen doesn't render it correctly. On the paint card it looked like a deep forest green, not at all what I expected. So instead I went for Behr's Black Suede, which is basically a black with green undertones and looks exactly like I see the paint colour in the pictures here.

As homekeeping padawan, I am still trying to figure out ways to make home cleaning more efficient. Add me to the list of those who has a set of cleaning products (all natural) under my sink so that I don't go running around for them. Another trick, putting all my stuff in a caddy, that way when I do my daily wipe of all surfaces, it takes seconds to remove them to get the job done and to put them back. And because I put my clothes rack in the bathroom for my laundry to dry, I set my timer to 15 mins to fold and put away everything (to say that I hate that chore is an understatement but the timer works).

For the toilet, my cleaning guru says that using the brush alone just as good as using products if you do it daily, and if you have some leftover shampoo that you don't use you can always use that to do the cleaning. To keep the yellow goo and mildew in the showerat bay open curtain and shower doors to let the air circulate (though don't forget to pull the curtain to let it dry afterwards).
