PJ's Skinny Organic Burrito - Mixed Review

So, a friend suggested that I try these burritos from Costco.  Always up for a challenge, I decided to give it a go!  

These are packed with protein and have little fat.  My husband and I both had one.  Microwave AND oven directions are included.  Which do you think I picked?  Yes, of course...microwave!!!  After nuking each for 3 minutes total, we sat down to eat.  The size was perfect for a meal.  I can't imagine eating 2 of them!  As I've experienced with other microwaved tortilla items, the edges were a little tough.  There is a good mixture of chicken, beans, cheese, rice, and bell peppers.  Overall, I would give these a 6/10.  They were pretty good, but definitely not outstanding.  The next time I try them, I will bake them and see if that makes a difference.  They were very filling!  This would be a great option to take to work with you.  Much better for you than grabbing a burger and fries, although your co-workers may not appreciate the after effects if you have a sensitivity to Mexican food!!!

Tile Floor - Need Suggestions!

Ok...I admitted in my previous post that my tile floors never truly feel like they are clean.  I've tried multiple cleaners, hot water, vinegar, ammonia... anything I can think of!  What do you use to clean your tile floors?  Oh, and while I'm asking for suggestions... who has a mop that they truly like?

Hardwood Floors!

A few weeks ago, my husband noticed that our hardwood floors were looking a little tired!  He went to a local reputable flooring company and discussed the cleaning process for our floors!  I have to admit that my usual cleaning for hardwoods consisted of vacuuming and the occasional Swiffer Wet Mop (Hardwood Floor Cleaning).  The hardwoods just don't seem to get as dirty as my tile floors, and I figured the less water on them, the better.

Well, when my hubby came home, he was armed with the Bona Hardwood Floors Mop.  The flooring experts told him that I should NEVER use a water-based product on the floors.  Oops!!!  Even when you use Murphy's Wood Floor Cleaner, you mix it with water, right?  I have to say I was VERY skeptical of this new mop!  I mean, come on.... what's the difference between this and my Swiffer?!?!  Well, being the good wife I am (ha!), I tried it.  Wow!  No streaks, and my floors didn't have the film on them that was there previously!  I was able to go over my floors in about 15 minutes, and I was done!  The pad goes in the washing machine, so it can be reused.  I was hooked!!!  When my wonderful (and missed) neighbors moved from the house next door, I even used it on their empty house before my new (and hopefully fabulous) neighbors moved in!  I really like this system.  I have used it 3 times, and I'm just as pleased each time I try it!

Bona Hardwood Floor Mop

Mildew No More!!!

Shower Saver!!!  Best product I've found in a LONG, LONG, time!!!  Have I got your attention?  How many of you feel that you are engaged in a battle with mold and mildew in your shower?  I, too, was in this fight until I found this product: DampRid Mildew Stain Remover Plus Blocker.  This products works to truly fight mold and mildew!  To clean your tile, you spray this product all over the tile and grout, allowing it to sit for about 5-10 minutes.  Then go back and scrub your tile and grout.  A toothbrush is helpful in the grout!!!  (I recommend Magic Eraser on the glass!) After your shower is clean, allow the tile and grout to completely dry.  After it is dry, you spray a layer of the DampRid Mildew Stain Remover Plus Blocker over the tile and grout (not on the glass).  Allow it to dry.  You reapply the layer of cleanser to a dry shower once a week.  You only have to scrub the shower every 1 1/2 to 2 months!  Try it... I have recommended this to several people, and they have all LOVED it!  This product is not available locally, so I usually order several bottles at a time from Drugstore.com.

Purpose of my blogging

Hello!!!  I have been toying with the idea of starting a blog to have a way to pass on recommendations of products I have used and love, as well as products I have tried, with negative results!  We are so busy that we all need help weeding through the numerous products that are out there to find the ones that truly make our lives better!  Thanks for reading!!!
