It is easier to store spices down in a drawer, rather then up high. Also, put them in alphabetical order. Or, if you donīt have a drawer to put them in, you can buy an inexpensive spice rack that can sit on the cabinet. Sometimes, you can even find ones that rotate.

Rubber Mats
When the bathtub becomes wet, it can become very slippery and may cause you to slip. Consider buying a rubber mat to put in your tub. You still have to be careful, though, and make sure you clean your mat every once in a while; soap can build up and cause it to be more slippery.

If you have cabinets in your bathroom, it can sometimes be hard to reach the top shelves. Talk to your family, or whomever you share a bathroom with, and see if you can keep your bathroom items in the lower shelves and let them have the high shelves.

Shower Doors
If you have one of those old-time shower doors on your bathtub, consider taking it off. Sometimes, it is hard for people with arthritis to open them. If you take it off, you can always put a shower curtain up in its place.

Body Pillows
Sometimes, I have problems getting comfortable, so I bought a body pillow. It is a very long pillow. I find it very useful, when I am hurting, to put the bottom part in between my legs, and the top part under my head. It is also useful for people who like cuddling, but donīt have anybody to cuddle.

Dusting
Dusting can be real hard on your hands if you have arthritis. Take a sock and put some furniture polish on it. Put the sock on over your hand and keep your fingers straight and wipe the furniture.
