Coppertone Sport Sunscreen Clear Continuous Spray is awesome! David and I have been using it this summer. It’s SPF 50, Ultra Sweatproof and it’s waterproof.

Spraying it on means I can get my back without David’s help. Since it sprays at any angle, this would probably be a great product for people with chronic pain and limited range of motion.

The smell isn’t bad either. Neither of us have been burned, and David burns very easily.

It works for me!

CSN Stores offer a huge selection of products, such as upholstered headboards.

I think this one would be great for our bedroom. Or maybe this one? I love this one, but it’s too feminine for David.

CSN Stores is made up of over 200 shops. They offer everything from home decor to toys. Check them out, and be on the lookout for my review of another one of their products soon!

The newest addition to the Febreze Home Collection, the No-Spill Wood Diffuser, is a great way to make your home smell good without worrying about spilling scented oil. The scented oil is drawn up through the dowel into the wood top. I got to sample it in the Limited Edition Honeysuckle Orchid fragrance. It’s a flowery fragrance that even David said smelled nice!

The Febreze Flameless Luminary has interchangeable shades. It flickers like a burning candle without the danger of a flame. Both of the products are great for people with children or pets or people who are just generally clumsy.

I love that I don’t have to worry about spills or anything catching on fire! It’s also nice that you can select a luminary shade that matches your decor. Another great feature is that once you turn the light on, it automatically shuts off after 4 hours. No wasting the batteries or overwhelming the room with too much fragrance.

Cherry Blossom Whimsy a delightful, sweet scent. The Willow Blossom fragrance is fresh and light, and the Cranberry Pear seems like a great scent for fall.

When we moved from Texas to New Jersey, we were given a very small moving allowance from my husband’s new company. We had to make every dollar and square inch count. Necessity is indeed the mother of invention.

David had the ingenious idea to get rid of our DVD and Blu-Ray cases. We took a lot of DVDs to Movie Trading Company, and with the money we made David purchased this case to store the remaining discs in. By the way, did you know Movie Trading Company doesn’t even take VHS?

It takes up so much less room than storing DVDs in their original cases. It works for me!

Today I got to try Wanchai Ferry’s new frozen Beef and Broccoli meal for two. It contains wheat, so David wasn’t able to try it, but it was a nice lunch for me. I’ll have to check and see if some of the other meals such as Szechuan Style Chicken and Orange Chicken contain wheat. All of the entrees have no added MSG, so that’s a big plus!

I don’t usually buy frozen entrees. They have too much added salt. But, David and I do order Chinese food fairly often. I could see this as a good alternative to take-out. The flavor was okay, and it was certainly easy to prepare. I was pleasantly surprised at how tender the beef was. With my TMJ Disorder, beef is not something I get to eat very often. This beef didn’t hurt my jaw.

Here’s a coupon for Wanchai Ferry frozen entrees, and here are some meal tips from Wanchai.

You can win a prize pack that includes a VIP coupon and two tea sets!

Just leave a comment saying which Asian meal you would like to see as part of the Wanchai Ferry lineup.

Recently I’ve changed the way I think about housework. Instead of telling myself, “I’ve got to get the bathroom cleaned today!” I just think, “It would be so nice to get the bathroom cleaned today.”

Or instead of saying, “I should make the bed,” I tell myself, “The bedroom would look so nice if the bed was made, and Henry wouldn’t be as tempted to chew on the neck roll pillow if it was off of the floor.”

Instead of saying, “This room is a mess, and the clutter is driving me nuts!” I try to tell myself, “I’ll feel so much calmer and more relaxed if I get this room picked up.”

It’s just a little bit more positive, and then if I don’t get it done, I don’t feel quite as bad. It helps me not put so much pressure on myself. A dear Christian friend told me once that the best parenting advice she ever received was, “The dust bunnies will still be there tomorrow.” It works for me!

CSN offers a wide variety of products including lighting, furniture, housewares, shoes, luggage and even wheelchairs through their 200+ stores. They were very easy to work with.

CSN Stores was founded in 2002 in Boston, and currently employs over 400 Bostonians. Their guarantee is “We guarantee your absolute satisfaction – 100% of the time.”

I selected Kinetic Go Green Glass Food Containers. They’re top rack dishwasher safe, microwave safe, and freezer safe. I like that the square containers have blue seals, and the rectangles have green seals. It makes it so much easier to grab the right lid, and well, I love color coded everything.

They are non-toxic and non-reactive so you don’t have to worry about chemicals like BPA leaching into your food. I’ve been very happy with my containers. David’s been using them to take his lunch to work, and he likes them, too.

Happy shopping!

Disclosure: I received the food storage containers pictured above in exchange for writing a review of CSN Stores.

Works for Me Wednesday is hosted by We Are That Family. Click here to read more great ideas from women.

I forgot today was a Backwards Edition, but in my previous post I asked for ideas on organizing our office.

My tip today is fold your extra sheets and store them inside pillow cases. Whether you stuff them in a plain pillow case or a decorative throw pillow, it’s a simple solution that allows you to hide them in plain sight.

I didn’t really think this was a big deal until my husband saw me doing it. He said, “Why haven’t you ever told me this? This is the kind of thing I need to know in case something happens to you. What if you died and I never learned this?!”

We tend to be a little melodramatic in our house.

I didn’t really do any decluttering in April. We moved from Dallas, Texas to South Jersey. Half of our things are still in storage back in Texas. My goal for this month is to get the office organized. I don’t think I’ll be throwing anything away or giving anything away, but I’ll focus on controlling the clutter.

One of the main issues is that our storage solutions in our house don’t work in our apartment. We used a lot of over the door shoe racks to organize cables, scarves, gloves, etc. Most of our closet doors in the apartment are folding doors, so this won’t work. Also, we left most of our furniture with drawers in storage.

I’m not really sure what to do. I bought this book shelf at Goodwill and it’s helped. Maybe I could add storage baskets for David’s computer stuff? But, money is tight. (Lord willing, we’ll have renters for our house in Texas starting June 1.) I hate to spend money and buy more stuff especially when we we still have a ton of stuff in storage. I’m trying to be creative and make do with what we already have. Any ideas?

Maybe I’ll keep looking by the dumpster. We’ve gotten two free lamps (including the one in the above picture) that people trashed. Our bedrooms and living room don’t have overhead lights so the lamps are a necessity. Maybe my neighbors will throw out some really cute baskets!
