Add an aerator, as the heat will bake the xygen out of the water. Shade. Shade. Shade.

I gave up on the big box stores and looked at the commercial, 3/4" rubber hoses available here at a rock and block company and other commercial businesses. They last for many many years, do not kink and always wind up on my caddies with no curves from memory of the hose. They are not cheap but worth every penny of the difference in cost.

The best one I've found is Nailtiques. It's clear, comes in a little bottle in a box, runs about $10. You can also get some thinner to make it last longer. They have different formulas and I use #2 "Treatment for Soft, Peeling, Bitten, Weak or Thin Nails." You apply it every day, then you can apply less often once the nails are where you want them. I got mine at a beauty supply and also at Ulta. Good luck on those nails. Bet they are looking good already.

Thanks for asking the question, and Dorothy I love your kitchen too. That light over the sink- is that serenity from seagull? I have been on the verge of ordering the mini pendants in that line (not certain if they are the same as your pendants... coudl be the angle but it looks a tad different_ ) anyway the height looks right. People have mentioned that when they are low they do block vision and just get in the way. Really pretty kitchen.
