Why I Love The Swiffer Vac

I have a very large house with a lot of square footage. Half of that square footage is marble floors. I knew what I was getting into when we moved in, as far as cleaning this house and the floors, so it hasn't been a surprise to me how much work it is to keep the floors clean. It has been challenging with marble, though. You have to be really careful what you use. As of this point, it's been a little bit of Dawn and water, which is what I found that was recommended. But, it's not so much "mopping" the floors, but keeping them swept that's been the challenge. With two large dogs that shed constantly, a 3 year old who loves to drop things all over, and just dirt and general, I was sweeping all the time and it still didn't really get that clean. Plus, I was only doing it about once a week because it took me forever and I hated it.
 
I had my eye on the Swiffer Sweeper Vac for a while now.
 
 
It was about $50, so I just couldn't seem to pull the trigger. Last weekend, I went to a going out of business sale. It was on clearance and marked down, to $16. It was too good a deal to pass up! It comes with only to of the sweeper pads, so I stopped at Family Dollar and got a pack of about 25 for $4 or so.
 
You have to make sure it is fully charged, otherwise it wouldn't even put a dent in my house. So, after about 1 day of charging it, it was ready. This vac doesn't pick up large pieces of trash like a regular vacuum, but I'll tell ya, it has some pretty good suction. What it doesn't get with the vac, the sweeper pad picks up. I can do my entire house in under 20 minutes. Do you understand how awesome that is for me? That means that I pretty much sweep my floors daily now.
 
I still would say $50 is worth it for this product. It makes me life so much easier! I guess it's worth it for a large house, for sure. If you only have a small kitchen or something, than a broom and dustpan would be sufficient. But I also have a large room with brick flooring, which means it has lots of grooves and indentions. Before, the broom would just brush the hair or dust into the grooves. This gets all of it.
 
I highly suggest this product! Especially if you have lots of wood floors or hard floors! It's not going to actually clean the floor (like, sanitize). But I am keeping my eye out for one of these bad boys...
 
 
But at a retail price of $240, I have to just wait until I see a good deal. It does carpets and hard floors!! Anyone have one??

What is Your Skin Care Regimen?

Since turning 34 this year, I've been really trying to make sure I am taking care of my skin. I have been using Cover Girl Liquid Powder for years, but it always seemed to break my neck out. And full disclosure, my face cleaning routine consisted of using Avery's baby wipes (which actually do remove eye makeup surprisingly well). So, needless to say, my skin didn't always look its best.   So, I received some gift cards for my birthday and I decided to go ahead and spring for some better products. First thing I did was get something designed to clean my face. I ordered the Olay ProX Microdermabrasion System.     This system came with the battery-operated scrubber with both a brush and foam pad, plus every day face wash and microdermabrasion wash to be used twice a week. I have really loved using this system. The beauty is that you can really use any face wash you'd like. I will probably buy a pore-reducing wash after the tube they sent me is empty. This syst...

It was a very good day.

I love it when God smiles upon us. I mean, He smiles upon us all the time. But sometimes, it's like sunshine, and Christmas morning, and rainbows, and babies, and awesomeness. On steroids. And I know that those times are not always permanent, so I learn to really wrap myself in His goodness, to take it all in, be happy, and just sit back and wait to see what He is going to do in my life. We have been struggling so long. I knew it was only a matter of time before things would be OK again. Where we would feel a little stability. Where we would take all of the things we learned while struggling and apply then when times are good. We have alot of great things going on in our lives right now. Some really great things. Some amazing, mindblowing, off the grid kind of great things. I wish I could share more, but for right now, let's just say that we are incredibly blessed with some great opportunities God is putting in our lives. I leave you with a gorgeous picture of our biggest bl...

Why I am Pro Universal Healthcare and Changes to Our Healthcare System

Due to my recent proactivity with my credit and paying off debt, I decided to give the hospital a call where I was admitted about a month ago and ask about my bill. I wanted to make sure I didn't miss it in the mail and I wanted to get an idea of what I'd be paying for my stay. I get on the phone with the billing department and the woman is just as nice as can be, really. She was surprised I'd even called her, considering I didn't even have a bill yet. She told me she'd sent the bill over to my insurance to be approved and paid but they hadn't heard back yet. "Just out of curiosity," I asked, knowing I would be responsible for 20% of the final bill, "how much was it?" What I heard next shocked me.   "$61,000" she said.   I said, "$61,000? I was only in the hospital for a night and only on anti-biotics, you can't be serious! My daughter cost me less than a third of that to give birth to and I was in the hospital two nights!...
