The first new (to me) product is Vitamin Water. On a recent trip to Manhattan, we stopped at Quick Trip to pick up some drinks, but it was EARLY in the morning and I didn't need a soda, so I decided to try this out. I first tried to Fruit Punch flavor and really liked it. Then, the next weekend, we did the same thing and I tried the Tropical Citrus flavor and liked it just as much. The water is full of different vitamins, ranging from Vitamin-C to b12, b3, etc., and it is only 10 calories per serving. And, to top it off, it is naturally sweetened so it doesn't contain that nasty aspertame! Since then, Dillons has had Vitamin Water on sale for $.88 a bottle, compared to the $1.60 at Quick Trip, so I have been stocking up. My new favorite flavors are the Grape Raspberry and the Berry Cherry! Brandon thinks they taste like slightly watered-down Gatorade, but I think they are much better than that.
The second product (or products in this case) are the Mrs. Meyers Clean Day products. I have had my eye on the Mrs. Meyers line of cleaning products for some time because they are "green" and they all smell so good! However, I could only find them at the Whole Foods store and they were a little expensive. But, lately Target has been carrying a limited line and it is cheaper than the Whole Foods line! The first product that I purchased was the all-purpose cleaner, in the Lavender scent. Friends, I have never found a cleaner that has cleaned my floors as well as this stuff!! A little dab goes a long way and it makes my floors clean and shiny without any leftover residue. I've also used the hand soap in the Lemon Verbena, Lavender and Basil scent and the liquid dish soap in the Lavender and Basil scents. All of the scents smell so fresh and the soap doesn't leave your hands feeling all dry. The soaps have lasted a long time, because again, a little goes a long way. My favorite scent is Basil followed by the Lavender. I hear the Geranium scent smells pretty good too, but Target doesn't carry that line yet.
I'm not sure shoes fall under the "product" category like the items above, but this pair of shoes is definitely working its way to my favorite shoe! I just purchased these fine beauties this weekend at Payless. I've been looking for cute silver flats since last spring, but all of the flats I liked were pretty expensive. The other day, I was browsing around on the internet and found these and thought I would at least check the local store. I haven't had the best luck with Payless in the past because I have a more narrow foot and their shoes tend to be a little wide for me. So, I found them in the store, tried them on and bought them in a matter of about five minutes. They certainly aren't shoes I would wear if I were doing a lot of walking, but they are great to slip on with some jeans! And, they are pretty comfortable!
That is all I have for now. We're heading to Pratt for Thanksgiving, but I hope to have a Thanksgiving post ready for tomorrow. We have A LOT to be thankful for this year (and no, I'm not pregnant!).
