A few of my favorite things...

So..I was thinking..how fun would it be to see some of the everyday products my "on-line" buddies like. I myself, am a sucker for a new product. As soon as I see it advertised, I'm on the hunt and I won't stop until I find it.

A few nights ago, Phil and I were watching TV. A commercial for a new cleaning spray came on, after the commercial ended he looked at me and said "NO"...I had to laugh because inside I was saying.."Yeah, I'm going to get that..." and I did!

Here are a few of my favorite, can't live without products....



1. Burt Bee's Lipwax http://www.burtsbees.com/

Now this my friends, is some good stuff. It's creamy with a slight hint of mint, and goes on so smooth. I have a tube with me always. They did come out with "honey lipwax" and "pomegranate oil lipwax", and yes, I bought them both, but I'm telling you, save your money and go for the original, it can't be beat.



2. Mr. Clean Magic Eraser http://www.mrclean.com

When I first saw this product, I couldn't wait to get it, but for some reason, it took me forever to actually buy it. I had it in my cart so many times, and then at the last minute I would put it back. One day as I was checking out at Target, I look over at the little section of impulse buys that they have by the register..and there, was a .99 cent trial version of Magic Eraser..I couldn't pass it up. I have to tell you, I am amazed at what this little sponge can do..it's fabulous. It cleans anything off of everything. I actually get excited when I see a smudge on the wall, it's so fun to use..even Raygan enjoys it. I know..I know..stop laughing..and go get yourself a Magic Eraser...



3. Lipton Pyramid Tea http://www.liptont.com




This tea is so yummy, it has a mild flavor. I love the berry and mango peach. The really fun part is the tea bag itself, it's shaped like a little pyramid and made of a mesh material. You can see all of the little pieces of fruit and tea inside. I think I like the tea bag better than the actual tea..hey little things excite me.


4. JCrew http://www.jcrew.com

I have said this before...If I could spend all of my money in Jcrew...I would! I love, love ,love these clothes. Casual, fun, fresh and comfortable....I just feel happy when I wear them. Go ahead..click the link..and do a little on-line shopping


5. Febreze Air Effects http://www.febreze.com


This is the BEST smelling stuff..ever!! My fave is "Berries & Paradise" I spray it in the morning and the scent lingers all day long. I am telling you..go but this spray..hands down, it's the best air freshener on the market...When I sprayed this the other day, Adler, my 2 year old, peeked over the couch and said.."that smell, I want to eat it" It smells yumm-o...


6. DirtDevil Vacuum http://www.dirtdevil.com/I could not live without this vacuum. I keep it in my pantry and use it probably 10 times a day. I am a neat freak. I can not have dirty dishes in the sink, un-made beds, dust on my baseboards..and I can not stand crumbs on the floor!! We have stone floors and it drives me crazy to walk barefoot, and feel little pieces of who-knows-what beneath my feet. I have to vacuum under the table after every meal, snacks included. This little baby is one lean, mean dirt suckin' machine..This is by far, my favorite product..love it...so if crumbs send you over the edge..save your sanity and go get this vac! It cordless, it's light, it's perfect!

Well, there you have it, a few of my favorite things. I would love to see what it is that you all can't live without so I'm going to tag two people..

Love the new pink look! You've definately got me interested in the air freshener. I'm already hooked on the magic erasures, however, we have flat paint on the walls in the home we're renting and it doesn't work on flat paint :(

This is such an awesome idea. I'm already hooked on the Burt's Bees and I'm always spreading the word about the magic erasers (what is in those things???) Now, I'll have to go buy some more stuff. Thanks for the ideas.
