Magic Eraser

Have you ever heard of them? Have you ever witnessed one being used or used one yourself?

I've heard of them over the years and I have to be honest. I really didn't believe that they were all that great. I mean really, how could an "eraser" remove ink marks, crayons, markers etc from the floor? cupboard? walls?

Couldn't you just use a regular eraser from a pencil if that was the case?

Well, I ended up getting one the other day as my almost 2 year old got a hold of a crayon and went to town... the light switch, the wall, the laundry room doors and more were striped with blue crayon. Oh and lets not forget the cupboard door that was attacked with a pencil.

I was AMAZED at how WELL and EASILY it worked.

I started on the cupboard with the pencil. It came right off. My husband made a comment about how impressed he was as I didn't even get it wet. I looked at him all puzzled. Apparently he knew more about them than I did, as he knew you were meant to get it wet and I didn't. HAHA I read the box AFTER he mentioned it and sure enough it said to wet it down.

I didn't... not even when I went to remove the crayon from the light switch, wall or the laundry room door. I mean, why do that if it is working as it was?!

I took some photos of the crayon as I didn't think to take photos until after the pencil was totally removed. Unfortunately, they are cell phone photos so they aren't the greatest, but I used what I had.

By the way, if you're wondering, I got 4 of them for less than $4.00 at Walmart in the cleaning product aisle.

Here are the BEFORE photos and the AFTER photos

Cappuccino, double mocha

I am one of those that doesn't like the taste of coffee but I do enjoy a latte every now and again. Whether it is iced or hot, though I have found lately that I prefer iced because I can drink it instantly without burning my tongue! HAHA

Anyways, I recently was in Walmart and there were samples for a drink. It happen to be the Hills Bros Cappuccino, Double Mocha. I tried some and instantly LOVED it. The lady working the counter told me the isle it was on and while I was hesitant to check it out because of the price I went and looked any way.

I couldn't believe it when I saw the price. I thought it would be OVER $5.00 for sure. However, it was not! It was only $3.74. So of course I got some!

You get 16oz in the container. You mix 3 tablespoons with 8 oz of boiling water.

You can use it to add flavor to your coffee, or even drink alone. I drink it alone and its great. I pour just a little milk into my coffee mug to make it a little creamier because that's how I like it.

The taste is phenomenal and it is super easy and quick to make, which is great if you're on the run all the time! You could program your coffee machine as you would for coffee, get in the shower in the morning and get your breakfast ready and voila, your morning drink is ready to go once you mix in the powder.

I would definitely recommend this to anyone that likes coffee and especially those that don't!  I think I'm going to try the French Vanilla next!
