Magid Yellow Latex Glove Review

Latex Gloves - not on many women's wish lists this Christmas but definitely one of those items on most our our NEED lists. I know that the one thing I despise cleaning the most is my boys bathroom and something as simple as the barrier of a glove can make all the difference in how long I put it off!

So when I was recently sent a box of these yellow gloves from Magid, I was actually kind of excited. These particular gloves are flock-lined for comfort and have an embossed exterior to provide a superior grip on any wet or dry surface. They are liquid proof which means you not only avoid contact with harsh chemicals, but you are also avoiding getting up close and personal with whatever germs are most likely present in the messes you are cleaning. Finally, they come off and on with ease which I find to be an added bonus when I am trying to quickly tackle a cleaning job and move onto the next thing on my to do list. I was given the medium size and was hesitant that they would fit (I am not exactly what you would call petite;) but they went on really nice without feeling too snug.

Wanting some gloves of your own now? Magid sells these by the dozen for only $10.63. That is perfect for having several pairs to leave around your house, out in the garage, in your trunk, or wherever else you might find yourself in need of some gloves. Don't have a need for that many? Throw them into little gift baskets with some of your favorite cleaning supplies to share with friends or neighbors.  Like I said, this isn't something I would always think to buy for myself but I would be glad to get them and I bet your friends would be too!

I actually don't have a need for a dozen myself so after putting a pair under each of my sinks I still have 9 left over. If you would like a pair of these gloves to make your cleaning projects that much easier and more sanitary, be one of the first 9 people to leave a comment below this post saying you want one (make sure to include your name and email address) and I will get one sent out to you.

(SORRY, ALL GONE)

**I was sent these gloves by a company that works with Magid Glove & Safety in exchange for my review but any and all opinions are my own.**

Continued Progress

I have been writing lately about trying to get organized (here and here) and thought I would give a progress report on how I am doing. My daily routine has continued to shape up starting with me getting myself completely ready. As I am finishing getting ready I put back all of my things and wipe down the bathroom, including the toilet. Yes, everyday. This has made a huge difference because it is constantly clean and only takes two minutes of my time to upkeep. It feels so good to take this little step that stops me from having to do the deep clean after it has been neglected for days weeks.  I then get all of the children dressed, start a load of laundry, feed them breakfast and wash the breakfast dishes. The rest of the day consists of me working on whatever zone we are in (last week was the kitchen, I did things like clear the counters and wipe them down) and hitting some of the "hot spots." I do dishes after every meal so that they don't pile up and I make sure the sink is shining every night before bed. I still have work to do, like incorporating more daily small cleaning to keep up on things and tackling some of the bigger problem areas like the boys' bedrooms but I can confidently say that I am making huge strides and have no doubt I will be able to keep this up. It has done wonders for my state of mind and has made me not only feel better about my home but about myself as a homemaker. My husband has noticed as well and has been kind enough to constantly praise me on my new found organization. That alone makes me want to keep it up!
