More Product Endorsements

I am still loving (LOVING!) the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. In fact, I think I almost like the regular version more than the heavy-duty. I used it on the carpet the other day to remove a surface stain. Rocks!

There are other products I recommend too. Recently I received a sample of the new Fusion razor...you know, the one with five blades, and then a "trimming blade" on top of the other side. Ryan wasn't really impressed. He said that the extra blade created more "drag" on his face, and that he didn't get much better of a shave than normal. I, on the other hand, love the thing. It gives a very close leg shave that lasts a long time, and is also good on the knees. Because the blades are narrow and set close together, there's less of a chance of knicking all the normal spots (back of the ankle, knee, etc.). I do have to say the design is a little bulky and overboard, and I have yet to check out how much refill heads will cost, but it's a good razor. Thumbs up.

I would also like to profess the versatility of Fantastic kitchen cleaner. I once used it to remove some unidentifiable gunk from the tops of the cabinets in our old house that was the product of 50 years of the previous owner smoking indoors. Worked like a charm. In fact...oooooo, I wonder what would happen if you combined Fantastic with the Magic Eraser! By gum, you could probably render something invisible. Ehhhhxcellent.

And just today, I tried Aquafina's new flavored water (I had Mixed Berry). It's flavored with Splenda, so technically it's sugar-free and doesn't have the bad chemicals and whatnot that other artificial sweeteners bring. And hey, it tasted good too! No calories, only 3g of sodium...pretty much you're just drinking flavored water. I even mixed in some Benefiber (which I also recommend...tastes like nothing, and we DO all need to stay regular and have lots of fiber in our diets).

If you're in the mood for a snack, at the top of my list is Trader Joe's Tomato & Basil Hummus and a pack of their whole-wheat naan. Naan is pretty much Indian flatbread, and the whole-wheat version packs a whopping 8g of fiber (that's good) and is low-fat. The hummus tastes good and isn't disturbing like normal hummus. However, it's popular, so Trader Joe's is often out of it. In that case, the Spicy Hummus is an acceptable substitute, but a little less enjoyable. Things I also like from TJ: Pirate's Booty, the Mexican flautas in the pre-packed section, and they have a kick-ass Sesame Chicken frozen thing that you can cook up at home. I made it with some rice and Ryan loved it.

Well, that's it for now. Until I have another list of items to endorse...
