I’ve blogged in the past that the Neutrogena Eye Makeup Remover was my favorite. A woman is entitled to change her mind. AND save money. I’ve done both.

I used the CVS brand for a while and was happy with it and the price too. CVS also compared its brand to that of Neutrogena.

Then one day I purchased the up&up cotton rounds, and loved them. So the next time I was in Target, and in need of an eye makeup remover, I tried the up&up version. Up&up is Target’s brand, in case you were unaware. The 5.5 ounce bottle runs about $4.5o.  Neutrogena runs about $8. What I love the best about the up&up eye makeup remover is that it doesn’t make my eyes sting at all. It does the same great job as Neutrogena and CVS version, but I always had a little stinging or burning after I used it and needed to wipe my eyes with water to get the solution out. Not with the up&up brand.

Another great benefit? Sometimes I can be a little heavy with the eyeliner. And you know how I am about mascara. The other eye makeup removers wouldn’t always get everything off easily. I’m always very protective of the eye area and refuse to pull or tug, so I would just take a qtip and some baby oil to get the remnants. Not so with up&up. It takes it all off, baby! My poor bottle of baby oil is being neglected.

So, if you are looking for a good makeup remover, this is the one! In my humble opinion, of course.

I’ve been in a crazy state of organizing my office lately, and wanted to share a site that has some great products to spruce up any office.

I remember the days when someone would quit (or be fired) and we would all rush over to the desk as soon as they were gone to check to see if they had a better chair, stapler or tape dispenser than we had, and snatch it up!

poppin.com isn’t just an office supply site. It has items that will truly cheer up your office space, whether you have a nice big office with a window, or a sad little cubicle that needs a little POP!

One of the best features is you can shop by color! You can decide if you want to be monochromatic or a rainbow of colors. You can pick pink, aqua, or even plain white, gray, or black.

Here are some examples of their products.

This would match my keyboard perfectly! Now keep in  mind, it comes in all colors!

They carry everything imaginable. Don’t just limit yourself to office supplies. They carry desks, chairs, lamps, filing cabinets, conference tables, and lounge chairs and sofas!

Paper clips, sticky notes, file folders, notebooks, rulers, and so much more. Update your drab office with some fun products that I think are very reasonably priced. These products will truly brighten your day!

Recently, I spent an afternoon spray painting lanterns and picture frames I’m going to use at the rehearsal dinner for my son’s wedding. It’s not until October, but it get hot in Texas here pretty darn quick, and it will still be blazing in October, so me being the organized person I am, I went ahead and did it now while it is still nice and cool.

It would have been a lot more difficult had I not purchased the Can-Gun1 Premium Can Tool. The grip snaps on to the can of spray paint, and makes it easy and spray without any mess or fuss! Universal fit for all cans. Fits all hand sizes. Ambidextrous. Arthritis-friendly comfort grip design.

I will never spray paint without one of these again!
