things you may or may not be interested in

I wanted to do some non-paid advertisements for a few of my favorite things.  I am like oprah, except not at all.  no one gets any money and no one gets anything for free. 

1.  Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day All Pupose Cleaner in Lavender.  I've talked about it before, but i love this big 32 oz. bottle so much, i think it deserves more praise.  i use it to clean my floors, and i make my counter top cleaner out of it.  It only takes 2 Tb. mixed with water in a spray bottle and you have enough cleaner for months.  Saves money, smells good, plus no chemical-induced headaches. 
 
2.  This is the second terrific cupcake that i have made this week.  It is from the pioneer woman.  It is really stinkin' good.  the picture doesn't do it justice, which is why i don't usually take pictures of my food.  i made it for a most special friend and i can only recommend that you save it for your most special, chocolate loving friends, too.  and i will eat one if you have extras. 
 

3.  Maybelline Colossal Volume Express.  


I think this stuff is amazing.  I have sucky eyelashes.  I need mascara.  the lastest mascara i tried smells just like the bat guano that it is very likely made from.  (of i course i still use it in a pinch.)  but - if i can help it, i will buy this stuff because it gives me eyelashes.  i really do think that it is magical.  Here is proof of how it works:

though, now that i see these pictures, i am not sure that i should post them.  can you believe those wrinkles on my forehead between my eyes?  good heavens i must stop frowning. 

4.  The Contigo Auto Seal stainless travel mug.  
 
For all of you who are coffee drinkers/coffee spillers, this mug has revolutionized my life.  it cannot leak or spill.  i can put it in my purse.  i can wash the whole thing in the dishwasher.  it is amazing.  my carpets and my husband are very grateful for this mug.  did i mention it keeps your coffee hot for 4 hours and it doesn't spill?!  i got a two pack at Costco.  Perhaps i should move into a Costco.  

well.  that's all there is time for.  this has proven to take much longer than i envisioned in my mind.
