Ok, so I don't really blog about products unless they really move me. Today I am sharing some of those products that I truly LOVE, or have have had a positive IMPACT in my life (or my family's life) in a big way.
First up....
These little silicone cups fall into both the "LOVE" and "IMPACT" categories! I purchased them as I was looking for a way to diminish our use of snack baggies and I couldn't be happier! They stay closed with suction, but they are easy for both my kids to open and they are solid enough that the fruit or crackers I put inside don't get crushed in my kids' lunchbags. The best part is that they are colorful and fun so my kids absolutely love them too. An all around win on this purchase!

This little clock has saved me many rough mornings, so it too shall go into both the "LOVE" and "IMPACT" categories. My 4 year old had a nasty habit of waking up at 5:30am every morning. Now mind you, I am (sadly) awake at this time. It is my most productive time of the day for answering emails and such. It is also my time to enjoy my morning coffee and get ready for my day. Having my 4 year old awake was not helping me or her (she was so tired and cranky by dinner time). I enlisted the help of this clock to solve the problem. This clock glows a soft yellow at night, making for a nice night light and then turns green letting your child know that it is OK to wake up. Now my daughter knows that she cannot come out of bed until her clock glows green....and we set that time to 6:30am. Much more doable for both of us!

Once again, this is a "LOVE" and "IMPACT" product for me. Once I started getting into photography...and I mean really getting into it, I noticed that what I was seeing on my monitor was not what I was seeing in my prints...even after calibration. I did some research on monitors and found that this monitor was rated one of the best for the money. I have to say, I have not one regret on this purchase and it makes me very happy each and every day when I turn it on!

This is more of and "IMPACT" product. I often use my iPad around the house to check email and surf the web. I would be lying if I told you that I get very annoyed with the on-screen keyboard. It just doesn't feel right, and it ends up taking twice the amount of time to type. This bluetooth keyboard and carry case solved all of my problems. I can now answer emails effortlessly! I don't place this in the "Love" category because it does add a lot of bulk to the ipad which kindof diminishes the point of the ipad I suppose. Oh well!
FINALLY...
Another "LOVE" and "IMPACT" product. Having worked in the hair-care industry for over a decade, I am somewhat a snob when it comes to hair tools. I've used professional hair dryers for years because they really make a difference in a blow out. The problem is, they weigh a ton, and when it takes you 20-30 minutes to blow out your hair, it's annoying. When my Solano had to get sent out for repair (yeah, they repair their dryers for a flat fee of $30), I needed something to get me through the time I was without it. I picked this up because it had decent reviews and didn't want to spend a lot. I figured it would be good for a travel dryer after getting my Solano back. Guess what...I never went back to my Solano! This dryer produces fantastic results, weights half that of the Solano and costs 1/2 the price!
So, that's it for my product recommendations. Enjoy!
