2) Here’s another dessert for banana lovers: Banoffee Pie. Megan’s maple and banana bread pudding recipe reminded reader HazelStone of an English banana cream dessert. There are lots of Banoffee Pie recipes online. Check out Megan’s yummy bread pudding recipe here.

3) That pink Target hose is strangely elusive. Readers love the Cynthia Rowley hose, but some are having a hard time finding it. Tara says, “I can’t find this hose at any Target near me and I live in Los Angeles!” While Ouk says, “Targets in Baltimore/Towson don’t have these hoses either. Where can they be bought?” The Shelterrific team is looking into this one. In the meantime, please leave a comment if you’ve found one near you.

4) Here’s another wonderful scented candle to seek out. Meg says, “After living in France for 4 years I’m addicted to Cote Bastide candles. they are really made in France and their scents are just plain addicting. Once a month I buy online at Vintageweve Interiors because they have the best selection.” See more fresh spring scents here.

5) Any vacation is a good vacation. Inez’s vacations “revolve around whatever band/musician I really want to see live.” Readingglasses says, “Paris. Just walking. And eating at cafés. And walking some more. And looking at architectural details. And stopping at Monoprix. And walking.” Leela enjoys “places where we can be productive — see art, make art, spend a lot of time in cafes and bars writing, see friends.” And DJ comments, “Actually, pretty much any vacation where I don’t have to cook any food is a dream.” Share your dream vacation here.
