We all know what a clean freak I am. I was always trying to find a cloth around the house to clean my touchscreen devices. Now I have found something that is so much quicker and easier and effective to use so I have to share. The Targus CleanVu Cleaning Pads come in a set of three for $9. A few quick swipes across the screen and it is spotless. All the fingerprints and smudges disappear. And I love the leather handle on the back! So easy to use and give the glass screen a good scrubbin’! And easy to find close by for a quick cleaning. I can actually slip mine into my iPad case so it’s always handy.

From Targus:

The Targus CleanVu™ Cleaning Pads for iPad offer an ideal way to effectively remove fingerprints and residue from the screen without using a cleaning solution. The reusable wipe is sized perfectly for the iPad and features a durable faux leather backing with built-in handle for easy use. The cleaning pad material is made of soft, scratch-resistant faux suede that is safe to use on the screen. CleanVu cleaning pads can also be used in conjunction with the Targus Zierra Case/Stand for iPad which actually stores inside of the iPad case. Compact for easy travel, CleanVu pads are a simple and effective screen wipe for iPads and most touchscreen tablet devices. One package includes two pads in black and one in red.

These pads come in a set of three which allows you to keep one for yourself and give two away as gifts! I have already given my two extras away to two very happy campers!

Cannot wait to take this to the next family get together! Easy-breezy recipe from rachelschultz.com. The secret ingredient is dry instant vanilla pudding mix.

Secret Fruit Salad

2 tablespoons dry instant vanilla pudding mix
1 pound of strawberries, quartered
1/2 pint blueberries
1/2 pint raspberries
1/2 pineapple, cubed
1 bunch grapes

Sprinkle fruit with pudding powder and stir. Serve immediately or allow to sit overnight.

In my quest to be able to use a concealer, and not have it fall into and emphasize my fine lines, I not only have to look at concealers, but also setting powders, so that the concealer stays put. I purchased the Dermablend Loose Setting Powder, and love it so much I use it all over my face now. I have the “original”, which is just a white powdery substance. It also comes in “warm saffron” and “cool beige”. I can’t help you pick a color, but I can tell you that if you get the original, it doesn’t make your face white, it just sets your foundation, and seals it so it stays put.

Dermablend has long been one of the best makeup lines to use if you really needed to cover something, like a tattoo, or birthmark, or severe skin problems. I had never tried the brand at all. A recent trip to Ulta, with an overenthusiastic sales clerk, made me give it a try, and I am certainly glad I did.  This setting powder just offers a nice finish to your foundation and concealer, without caking at all. Love it!
