This post probably would have been more appropriate for yesterday, as opposed to my Redbox run-in but...
Whatever.
It is not often that I try 'new' products. I get what I always get & that's that. Even when what I always get doesn't always work like I want it too. Sometimes I am just not up to figuring out what to get instead.
And my floors have been suffering in silence for too long. Some of you may remember a long ago post {so long ago I am not even going to pull it out of the vaults} regarding mopping techniques. Like how the heck to you get rid of the streaks??? And then the footprints??? They drive me crazy.
A lot of people pointed me to the steam mop. And by a lot, I probably mean you. $100 and a year of hatred later it randomly broke...not breaking my heart in the process because now I was forced to get something. 5 hand & knee mops by yours truly later found me at Wal-Mart by myself walking down the mop aisle. I was there getting groceries & decided to just buy something for the interim. Because I was still avoiding the task of figuring out what exactly my solution was going to be.
Long story long...I picked up this bad boy.
Yes. That's right I call my mop bad boy. Try not to be jealous of our relationship. But I love this thing. I will not say it delivers 'streak free' but what does? nothing.
Here's what I love...It is easy!!! Who would've thunk those words would escape my mouth in regards to mopping. But seriously...my 4-year-old son can do it successfully. Which makes it really easy for me!
So you fill up the 'water bottle' thing with whatever solution you want to use. Which I love because I use one that smells good. Which was something that always bugged with the steam mop. I mean, the smell is the dead giveaway to my husband that I've been working real hard & for him to appreciate appropriately. Then you pull the trigger, it sprays, you wipe. It's small & easy to get in & out, so I actually use it more.
So that is item one that I am loving & thought you should know about.
Item two that has found permanence in my pantry:
I love me a good salad. And by good I mean chock full of non-salad things & coated with a sugary dressing. My friend prepared a salad at a shower that included these & it was love. They remind me of the Asian Chicken Salad at Nordstrom Cafe, which is always a good thing. They have a home in my pantry & are giving me lots of excuses to throw together a salad.
Seriously. I never thought I would throw together a salad just for myself, but when these are included {okay & the dressing is already made & sitting in the fridge...cause bottled dressing just doesn't work for me} then I am 'throwing' salads together left & right & then letting myself feel good for eating 'healthy.' It's a win-win.
Pick them up & enjoy!
