The winner of the Rubbermaid Reveal Mop:

Emma Horton

I have been working on painting my bathroom this week. Yes, I said week. What should take normal people approx. 1 day is taking me forever. It is getting quiet comical because anytime anyone calls they ask what I am doing and I tell them painting the bathroom the stock response is now “STILL?” Yes, still. Ok, I am going to cross my fingers and hope that my Mother isn’t reading today…

When my house was my Mother’s house and her house was my house  she painted the bathroom this really dark blue. Who knows why, a good daughter doesn’t ask these things, she just did. So, now I am painting over a really dark yet bright blue. And it takes awhile. and I paint slow. And I started out all gungho, but I lost my gumption and get up and go somewhere along the way. I want to be able to snap my fingers and it be done…or I want Bric to help. Bric is the best painter I have ever seen but he hates to paint and he has been super busy this week. I did con Stephanie (my niece) into helping out for a couple of hours one evening but now she has gone back to college. Erin (my daughter) has gone back to college. Tate (my son) is a messy, messy painter and I would just rather not have his help than have to do it all over and fix messes. Marissa (friend of the girls who lives with us) is also reported to be a horrible painter. So, it is just me. I will go paint for a bit and then work on one of the other 50,000 things I need to get done and perhaps by the end of the week I might at least almost be done.

Meanwhile, I want an iPhone with the iphone warranty. I never really thought I wanted one but I have finally decided to get with the times and at least think about it. I know in the long run I would be pleased. It is just taking that initial jump. That and I am not up for an upgrade anytime soon and I hate the thoughts of shelling out that much for a phone.

So, now you know what is going on in my world, how are things in yours?

 

When you live in the country AND you have kids…your floor has to be mopped regularly. And when I say regularly that means usually at least once a day, sometimes twice. It just all depends on the weather and the traffic. If it is raining and we have extra kids around I have been known to crawl into bed and hide crying over the state that I know my floors are going to be in.

I have bought all the different spray mops over the years. I have quite the collection (if anyone wants one let me know) that I no longer need nor want. You see, recently I was introduced to the Rubbermaid Reveal. A revolutionary spray mop that is nothing short of FABULOUS. Here, let me tell you why:

1.) It comes with microfiber pads that do a great job cleaning my floors. AND once you are done you simply throw them in the washing machine. In other words, no more running to the store to buy replacement pads. When you live out in the boonies, this is a MAJOR plus!

2.) You can use your own cleaning solution. Anything you want. Seriously, anything. The bottle is refillable and reusable. Again, no more running to the store to buy a pre-made solution made specifically for the brand of mop you are using.

3.) It is easy to use, cost effective, cleans great, and is perfect for me and my family!

Rubbermaid Reveal

If you are very eco-conscious and always wanted to try out a spray mop, the Rubbermaid Reveal is perfect for you. Have allergies in your family and have to be careful of the products you use? The Rubbermaid Reveal is perfect for you too. I have this neurotic dog. She likes to lick the floor when I mop. Yes, I know…she has issues. We are working on them but I think it is going to take awhile. Anyway, I have always been a little concerned about what she is ingesting with some of the cleaners I have used in the past. Now, with the Rubbermaid Reveal I no longer have to worry…I know exactly what is in the cleaner because I made it myself.

When designing the Rubbermaid Reveal, we truly tried to design a mop with you in mind. With the Reveal Spray Mop, you will save money and waste less. The wide, thick microfiber pad reaches deep into cracks and crevices to pick up 50% more dirt than traditional sponge mops. The microfiber pad doesn’t just get floors cleaner; it even helps them dry faster so you can get on with your day.

Rubbermaid Reveal’s refillable bottle gives you a custom clean in no time! Just mix two tablespoons of your favorite cleaning solution with water, close the cap, and click it into the Rubbermaid Reveal Spray Mop. Need ideas for custom solutions? Try one of these recipes to uncover a brilliant clean with every swipe!

Rubbermaid supplied me with a Reveal to help facilitate this post, information and a Reveal for giveaway. I was in no other way compensated and all opinions stated are those of my own and were in no way influenced by any outside source or receipt of said product.

 

Boy Howdy is this ever the stuffy nose, sinus- and nasal-congested allergy season! We have all been sneezing, sniffing, coughing, etc. Our Privet Hedges are in full bloom and are reeking havoc on us all. I have been sniffling, sneezing and everything else lately. I thought being out of town for a couple of days would help…not the case.  I think it just made it worse. So, I have been doing everything that I can to get over this. One of the things that my family does during allergy season is it looks to a line of products that has all of our backs covered. The Ocean Line!

For more than 30 years, the OCEAN® Saline Nasal Spray has earned the trust of health professionals and millions of people suffering from chronic nasal congestion, sinus congestion, dry nose, and irritated nasal passages resulting from allergies, sinusitis, sinus infections, colds, rhinitis, nasal surgery and more. The OCEAN line of nasal saline products helps you breathe easier by providing convenient, pre-mixed, easy-to-use nasal saline solutions for the entire family. Ocean nasal saline products are also non-medicated helping to relieve symptoms without the concern of drug side effects.

Erin suffers the worst out of all of us. Since she was just a very small baby allergy season affected her in profound ways and our Pediatrician has always recommended Ocean Products and that was 19 years ago. That just goes to show that doctors everywhere believe in the OCEAN line of products and have continued to do so for many years.

New OCEAN Complete® Sinus Irrigation is a unique two-in-one nasal irrigator and nasal moisturizer to help relieve nasal and sinus pressure/congestion, while keeping the nasal passages soothed and moist….with a simple switch of the little nozzle! And unlike antihistamines or steroids. OCEAN Complete® is drug free too! There’s a special nozzle (orange tip) for easy-to-use nasal irrigation, and a unique mist applicator (white tip) for easy nasal moisturizing. Its unique, non-medicated salt blend formula is pre-mixed and ready-to-go for convenience — similar to the action of a neti pot but without the mess and hassle. AND, you can get a $3 off savings coupon!

The new OCEAN Complete Sinus Irrigation system provides soothing relief for a variety of needs:

* • General moisturizing: dry climates, airplanes, hotel rooms

* • Allergies: cleanser, moisturizer, liquify mucus

* • Congestion: liquify mucus

* • Drug-induced dry nose: moisturizer

* • Nose bleeds: cleanser, moisturizer

* • Nose surgery: irrigation, moisturizer

* • Oxygen treatments: moisturizer

* • CPAP machine for sleep apnea: moisturizer

I just have to say it…it’s a snotty issue but someone has to address it and OCEAN has met the mark with the new OCEAN Complete. It will be something that we always have on hand from this day forward. OCEAN also offers a full-line of products to meet any nasal need that you may have.
