I was recently given the opportunity to review a couple of products from Care Cleaning and Protection. One of those products was their Latex Gloves. While Latex gloves are mostly used in the medical field, they actually have a wide variety of uses. From cleaning around the house to projects, the uses are endless. I happened to be making a shelf to house my DVDs in which I was using a stain, and I decided that was a good opportunity to try the gloves. The result was great.. I loved that they didn’t have the powder that made my hands feel disgusting. They protected my hands well and no stain got through, which is actually something I’ve had a problem with in the past. I’ve done a video review on them.

Theres a store from a huge chain right now the road that sells all kinds of household and AMAZING things. I got a coupon in the mail for them and it’s SO tempting. I’d love to go there and look at their kitchen gadgets, which is my favorite department. Also, I’d like to look at their kitchen scales. I need something to measure food portions with, as I currently have no idea what different meats and such weigh.

I also need a new bathroom scale, which is in a way related to my need for a kitchen scale, LOL. Ours is just really old and cracked at the top. It still works, but I’d like something nicer that isn’t such an eyesore. It’s definitely not a necessity right now, but maybe soon!

I sit here trying to type while my hands shake REALLY hard. I just finished sanding a project I’ve been working on, and my nerves have not quit shaking from the sander. The project is a DVD shelf. I’ve been wanting to make a custom one for a while, as I want one of a certain size, and I want it to hang on my wall, rather than stand on the floor. I built it (with the help of Matthew, my nail-hander-guy) the other night, spending nearly two hours making sure all the measurements were PERFECT. Yesterday I filled any gaps, cracks or holes with stainable wood patch, and this morning I sanded it, cleaned it and applied the first coat of stain! I am so excited to have this shelf finally, and it’ll allow me to use the bookshelves the DVDs are currently on for something else. I’m trying REALLY hard to be patient though so that I go slow and do everything right.

I have to wait 4 hours for the first coat to dry, and I can apply a second. I’m gonna go browse buy.com for some things I’d like around the house (I’ve got my eye on the Hamilton Beach Ice Cream Maker on their weekly deals.. $19.99 with free shipping!!) and then get some cleaning done.
