Faves

I love getting product recommendations from blogs, not only because I'm always on the lookout for good stuff, but also because I like the insight it gives on what people like and why. Today I thought I'd share some of my latest "can't live without" stuff:

1. My Vera Bradley backpack

I am a lover of all things purse, and this backpack is like a purse, but better. I love that I can use both hands while carrying it, and I love that I have room enough to carry a ton of stuff without hauling around a huge purse. I love that in my boy-filled life, I can carry something totally girly and get a ton of compliments. Totally worth it!

2. My Personal Labeler

I've been reading a book about getting organized and the author strongly suggests buying a personal labeler. It seemed kind of silly, but I decided to get one anyway. And I totally love it! I could label everything, but I manage to restrain myself to files and things that have a significant need for a label. I recommend this product to anyone-- it makes you feel more organized just using it!

3. Microfiber Cleaning Cloths

I may be way behind the times having just discovered these a few weeks ago, so you may already know about the amazing cleaning powers of microfiber. If not, get some of these as soon as possible! I bought mine at the Don Aslett Cleaning Center here in Logan, and I can't say enough good about them. You know that old addage, "twice the power in half the time"? Yeah.

4. Pandora.com

This week I've been listening to Annie Lennox radio. Remember Shakespeare's Sister? I was listening at work when their "Stay with Me" hit (which I believe was their only hit) came on, and I laughed out loud. I like reminiscing via Internet Radio.

5. My new Rykas

Christy, Holly and I ran in a 5K race this morning (which I will post about later this evening after I download my photos), and although pretty much every other part of my body hurt, my feet felt great! Ryka, you've got a fan.

6. My Food Chopper from The Pampered Chef (see Emily if you want your own!)

Actually, everything I have purchased from The Pampered Chef is awesome, but I use this product even more than I thought I would. The chopper has actually encouraged an increased consumption of fresh veggies at our house. I love chopping, especially onions.

Great picks! I know nothing about microfiber either, so I'll have to check it out. Thanks for the idea!

You are a running fool! Good for you. A personal labeler? I will have to check that out.

Apparently I need to get me a pair of those shoes and a Vera backpack. I have been debating and debating. But I guess I'm going to break down and do it.

Christy said...

I love the backpack! ... and the shoes! So, when is this 10K that Chris told me about? I will for sure do it.

Oh, I love my Vera backpack, too. Aren't they the best! I also just noticed you're reading the NO. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency. I just started that and it seems like it's going to be really cute.

glad you like your chopper! I love it too!
