Cleaning up with Magid Blue Nitrile Gloves-Review
Recently, I received a box of Magid EconoWear T9557 Blue Powdered Disposable Nitrile Gloves (100 pack) from Magid Gloves and Safety Manufacturing Company LLC for review and I knew I could put
them to good use!
I like to use disposable gloves to protect my hands when working around the house. My husband always has a box of disposable gloves handy out in his garage to use when needed. And I always use disposable gloves when cleaning my dogs room. Cleaning the kitchen and bathroom are other areas when I use them. Because even when organic cleaners are being used they can be very hard on your hands. My skin becomes so dry when I don't protect them.

Because even when organic cleaners are being used they can be very hard on your hands. My skin becomes so dry when I don't protect them.
The fit of the glove was okay (they sent me a large). I can easily move my fingers without difficulty. However, it does pull down slightly around the wrist when I bend them forward (which might not have been the case if the glove fit a little tighter), and as you can see from the pictures they don't cover much past the wrist. So be careful if you are dipping your hands in liquid that is deep, it could leak in over the top of the glove. The Magid Blue Nitrile Gloves are ambidextrous and completely liquid proof so you don’t have to worry about anything coming into contact with your skin through the glove.
Not only are these gloves great for cleaning and general maintenance purposes, they offer better protection than vinyl or latex disposable gloves against chemicals, punctures and abrasions—they are a great value too—$8.25 /DP. They are ideal gloves for single-use purposes like handling raw food in the kitchen, to have on hand in the garage, or just general home projects and maintenance. Your next paint project—the Magid Blue Nitrile Gloves would be awesome!

Get organized with Avery Binder--Review
I received some office supplies from Shoplet.com for review and honestly they couldn't have come at a
better time. I recently started organizing all of my recipes (stacks
and stacks of recipes) and this binder, note tabs and binder spine inserts came in handy for my recipe organization!
The first product I pulled from the box is the Avery EZD Heavy-Duty Reference View Binder.
This binder has one handed easy open rings. With little effort, just one push of a thumb on the rubber button pops the rings right open.
They also close easily without feeling as if they are going to capture my fingers when they snap shut--a big plus for me. The design of the rings really permits this binder to hold a lot of pages. I stuffed a 375 page document inside this binder (I'm sure I could have fit more if I had them). All the pages fit easily and they turned smoothly in the rings.
The binder has four stacked pockets (two on each side) so you can organize and secure special notes, smaller pieces of paper or even photos. The plastic is non-stick and archival. It won’t lift the toner from your pages, so your photos are safe--Yay! The plastic is PVC free and the chipboard is 100% recycled content. I definitely like this! The binder front and back are wide enough to cover index tab dividers and sheet protectors from view when closed. Overall this is a good quality binder that is worth the money. There isn't anything I have found that I don't like about this binder. The rings don't pinch fingers and it has nice organizational pockets, plus it's well made. What more can you ask for?
The next item was the Avery Custom Spine Inserts.
The binder spine inserts are made to work with the Avery EZD Heavy-Duty Reference View Binder. The binder spine inserts come in packages of 25 (5 per sheet). They can be customized with your printer and favorite word processing program or at Avery.com. The perforations make them easy to separate them. They are made from firm cardstock and are a perfect fit for the binder spine pocket--slipping in easily. However, if you decide to change them, they are a bit more challenging to get back out. Your fingers are useless unless you want to destroy the binder spine pocket (made of plastic). Double-sided tape on the end of a letter opener solved the problem, but it was quite a bit of trouble to remove. Overall this is a good quality product. The only downside is how difficult they are to remove from the binder pocket.

The only downside is how difficult they are to remove from the binder pocket.
The Avery Note Tabs come in a package of 10 and a variety of colors and sizes. They are made from an thick, durable material that you can write on or use with a highlighter. The material is transparent so you can see content beneath.
The tabs are also repositionable, but stick well to pages clipped together in a stack or while inside a binder--even when shuffled around they won‘t lift off. Although the glue is not sticky enough to damage your paper when the tab is lifted. These tabs would work great to divide a wire bound notebook into multiple sections--one notebook for several subjects, school, writing project, work project, etc. However, because of the type of material the tab is made from, some writing instruments work better than others. I found the ink from several pens tended to smear. Sharpies work the best. Overall a great product--they won't damage your paper when moved and still stick well, but the downside: not all writing instruments works on this material.
I'm sure you will find each of these products as useful as I did. They can be used for so many different projects and each compliments the others so well.

30 Meals In One Day--Giveaway
Have you ever had that thought at the end of a long work day—ugh...what am I going to make for dinner? Well, I have come across the perfect solution. 30 Meals In One Day. I have recently had the opportunity to try this product, thanks to the fabulous people at 30 Meals In One Day for sending me the program! Wow, what a difference it made for me. Now with very little time spent in the kitchen I am able to prepare a nutritious meal with a tiny amount of effort. Even cleanup seems like a snap.
30 Meals In One Day has its own easy to follow software that supports the cookbook. The software is great to work with! It downloaded easily, and is simple to use. The software generates all of your menus, labels and shopping lists. It's very straightforward. You select your recipes,(the book suggests how many of each type of recipes to select--ie: slow cooker, oven, stove top, etc. for best efficiency on your cooking day...the recipes are broken down into those categories)
and then add them to your menu,which automatically adds the ingredients to your shopping list.
You can then add or delete items to or from your shopping list as needed. You can even add your own recipes to the program. It's great! I haven't tried to add any recipes to the program yet, but I'm excited to try it with my next cooking day. Then you print your freezer labels and menu if you wish.
Although I tried to get prepared before each trip to the store, I didn't do a very good job. I usually had to go back for something else. And those trips we usually came home with more than we originally went to get. Our shopping trips could get expensive. With 30 Meals In One Day, you have a very detailed, organized shopping list, so you're set. Not only does it save you time by cutting the guess work of what's for dinner, it will help you save money at the grocery store. Who wouldn't love that?
On my cooking day, the house smelled absolutely wonderful and the Teriyaki Chicken is the best! TIP: Make sure you follow chapter six--the day before preparations. It will save you a lot of time on your cooking day--just saying...
Every recipe we have tried has been a hit with my family. The recipes are easy to follow and they have clear instructions on how to freeze each meal. Also, nice freezer labels that print the recipe name, date and cooking instructions. This program is so easy, my family has incorporated these freezer meals into our everyday life.
