product ho

i am a product lover. i am not myopic enough to limit my love to one type of products either. i love them all. beauty, cleaning, food, gadgets, baby (a whole new world!), office, animal and on and on. perhaps more than the products themselves i love to endorse them. i should've (could've...would've) been in advertising. here are some products i am using these days that are worth sharing:

clorox greenworks
genius! i love this stuff. it cleans well, smells good and is safe for people and pets. i use the multi-purpose cleaner, toliet bowl cleaner and glass cleaner. it feels good to clean with products that aren't only easy on the environment but on the nose hairs as well.

burt's bees creamy cleanser & witch hazel
i have spent many years trying to find products that clean my face, keep it smooth and moist without making it greasy and, most of all, don't cause me to breakout! this winter i had a facial at a very fancy spa (thanks ned!) and was told by the woman that gave it to me that you didn't need to spend a lot of money to get good results. she suggested this burt's bees cleanser and suggested i try using plain witch hazel (available for about 80 cents a bottle at the drug store) as a toner. she told me how important it was to use a toner and since that day i have used witch hazel after cleaning my face day and night. in my opinion, my skin looks great - better than it has in years. i use aveeno moisturizer (spf 15) during the day and burt's bees radiance nightcream at night. this little routine is not only affordable but all natural. most of all...it works!

snyder's of hanover multi-grain cheese puffs
snyder's is expanding their snack food line beyond pretzels and they are doing it the healthy way. their new line of multi-grain chips is great! best of all there is no trans-fat and most have a hearty amount of protein. wil and i especially love the white cheddar cheese puffs. try some today!

lipton cold brew iced tea
genius! this isn't exactly new to the market but there is nothing better on a hot summer day than a huge glass of iced tea and this makes that possible in minutes. yum!

pledge multi-surface
carry only one product from room to room...fabulous and soooo worth it. works great too!

atlas garden gloves
when tia came to help me do my perennial garden she bought a pair of these. we both got tickled because we thought they were cheap and thin and, more than likely, a waste of money. well, turns out they rock. i purchased a pair this weekend and love them. they are thin, yes, but that is what makes them so great. you can actually feel what you are doing with your plants and getting in those hard to reach spots is so much easier than wearing a bulkier glove. they also don't take on any water and wash off easily. if the glove fits....

i could go on and on....maybe i'll do this again sometime.
