Artistic Product Review

Time to clean up the desk space, or in my case, create one! Shoplet.com is working with Artistic to help us do just that. 


*Disclaimer: I was sent this product, free of charge, in exchange for my honest review. I was not otherwise endorsed or told what to say. All opinions are my own.*

I have been enjoying the benefits of Shoplet.com for quite a while. They are the largest e-tailer of office supplies. Their teaming up with Artistic has allowed me to share a special product that I really like. The Artistic Lift-Top Pad Desktop Organizer is both creative and purposeful.
It adds extra space to your desktop by allowing you to put things under the clear overlay flap. Important reminders, favorite pictures or even a daily note of to-do's are visible while not in the way of your computer working or desk layout. I'm also a fan of the fact that I can wipe it off neatly if anything gets on it and not worry about the things under the overlay being damaged.  
It grips your desk nicely so that it won't slide around as well. With my kids always around, this is a definite plus. I don't have to worry about them pushing or pulling it around the table. 
What do you think of this product? Let me know how useful it might be for you in the comments below. Check out Shoplet and their other office supplies. Also, they carry more than just typical office supplies. They have medical supplies, cleaning supplies and office furniture.  
Thanks for reading! More reviews coming soon.

3M Post-it Board Review

Working with Shoplet.com has introduced me to many new and wonderful products that I would not have otherwise found. They are the largest e-tailer of office supplies. The following review is of just one of those products they have to offer. 

*Disclaimer: I was sent this product free of charge in exchange for my honest review. I was not otherwise endorsed or told what to say. These are my opinions alone.*
I was sent the Post-it Bulletin/Dry Erase Board. I am a huge fan of Post-it products. They have been helpful in making quick notes as well as keeping track of important reminders. This one in particular can serve both of those! It has two parts to it. On the top half, I can write reminders on the white board with the dry erase marker that came with it. Then on the bottom half we have a sticky board. I am quite excited to be using this. We have been needing something to track all the appointments and meetings coming up on a daily basis. I keep a calendar to plan ahead, but it would be good to keep my husband on the same page with notes written about what we have going on each day. This lets me do just that!
Hanging it up was a breeze, thanks to the Command adhesives they use on the back to stick it to the wall. This will also make it easy to take down when we move. And we can purchase more later to rehang it. 

On the top, I will be able to write things that need to get done daily. Then stick something to the bottom half to corroborate that! I really love it. The bottom half is marble pattern to give it some style. Another plus in my book.
My husband was skeptical about the sticky part. That is when I showed him the back where there are directions on how to keep it clean and clear off dust or fibers by using Scotch tape! If you really need to clean up the sticky portion, you can wipe it clean and let dry. It is like a reset to the stickiness. Surprisingly, though, it is not as "sticky" as I had thought. A note card I put up there keeps coming off. Definitely have to press it hard. 
So what should you take away from this review?  
Pros
  • It is easy to use
  • Easy to hang 
  • Comes with the marker
Cons
  • Does not come with an eraser
  • Sticky side is not sticky enough
It might be a little pricey at $41.69. Not sure what the going rate for such a board is elsewhere, but I still think its a great addition in our home.

I hope you enjoyed seeing this review! Leave me a comment and let me know what you liked/disliked or how this product would be useful to you. Don't forget to check out Shoplet.com to see what other office supplies they have. And remember! They also have office furniture, medical supplies and cleaning supplies. They are your one-stop-shop!

3M Post It Review

Shoplet has partnered with their reviewers once again. They want to showcase a great product that you can find on their website - Shoplet.com. Shoplet is the largest e-tailer for all your office needs and more.

*Disclaimer - I received this product for free in exchange for an honest review. I was not paid or otherwise endorsed. My opinions are my own.*

I'm a huge fan of the Post It brand. They are made by 3M, who has great products that I use on a regular basis. You will find a great many through Shoplet. This one would be no exception. The Post-It Dry Erase Board is easy to use. You can use it as it comes or cut it down to the sizes you need. Easy to peel and stick. I think it is great for multiple uses. My husband and I have been talking about home schooling again. This would be perfect for a white board at home.
No drilling holes in our rented walls. Another use, would be for teachers. A classroom is ever changing according to the teachers needs. Having a white board that you can peel up or just stick on whenever and wherever is a huge plus. I could also see a use for this in the office. An inexpensive white board option for those business meetings that involve throwing ideas around. 

What I love: 
  • It is very easy to use. In peel and stick form, they are ready to go as is.
  • You can cut them into the shapes and sizes you need or use it in the exact dimensions it comes in. 
  • It comes with a super soft wiping cloth to help you keep it in excellent condition. 
 I have so many ideas for this sort of thing. What about you? Can imagine a way you would use it? If you want to get some of your own, or even other office supplies, I highly recommend you take a look at Shoplet.com and see what they have to fit your needs. But they don't just offer those types of supplies. Shoplet has cleaning supplies, medical supplies and office furniture too.
What is missing:
  • Just the markers!

Gojo Purell Review via Shoplet.com

*Disclaimer: I was sent these products for free in exchange for my honest review. I was not otherwise endorsed or told what to say. All opinions are my own.*

I'm so thrilled to be hosting a review for Gojo today. They sent me a pretty big assortment of Purell products.
And just in time, as we are coming into the season for sickness! The weather has changed in most of the country already. Texas is a little slower. It is still fluctuating between summer and frozen. You wake up and it's 40 degrees. But by lunch time, you are in shorts and a tank top saying it's too hot outside. This alone can make people sick. You know how your nose starts running when you are in and out of a cold building too much? Well, it's no different from in and out when you live in a state that doesn't know which season it is supposed to be in.
Then you have to consider what happens when you have kids. Who are also in school. My husband likes to say that "kids are walking biohazards". If there is a sickness or disease to be gotten, they will get it and bring it home to share. This is why having tissues in key areas of the house is essential. This is why every sink has soap. Why there is Lysol spray up and downstairs. And why you will also find Purell products spread out with easy access to all.
I love hand sanitizer. I feel cleaner when I use it. As though the germs are sliding right away with its usage. So imagine my surprise and glee when I opened the box and found that Purell has some new (to me) things out there. Like a spray for surfaces. The Professional Surface Disinfectant spray. No rinse required. Just spray and wipe. Particularly for food surfaces. I can now clean the table like I would my hands. They are $17.36 for a carton of 3, which translates to about the same price you would pay for cleaners in the stores. 

And the soaps? I did not know they had Healthy Soap now. And they are scented! Soothing Cucumber, Fresh Botanicals, and the Clean and Fresh scent. I'm thrilled! I decided to use the botanical scented one first. I was half expecting there to be a Purell sanitizer smell, followed by a fresh scent. I was wrong. It's just the same sweet aroma and acts just like soap. You can get a carton of these for $91 - $98.98, depending on the scent you choose. From what I understand, there should be 24 of these bottles per carton. I think... my math could be off.
Lastly, we have this big container of travel-sized sanitizer packs in carry cases. You can attach them to the diaper bag, your purse, the stroller, headrest in the car, and here's a good one - how about your kids' backpack?? I mean, let's face it. Schools are germ factories. This pack has 25 inside. Selling at $58.71. It would be great on your work station too. How often does your desk get visited and need some shared cleanliness? When I worked, I shared santizer, Lysol wipes and body spray/perfumes. Smell good and clean up at the same time!
One of the greatest things I need to mention, is that you can get these products from Shoplet.com.
Shoplet is the largest e-tailer of office products. They provide office supplies, office furniture, and even medical and cleaning supplies
So let me know what you think. What is your favorite product? Do you think they are worth checking out, buying? Leave me a comment below!

Avery review via Shoplet.com

Shoplet is hosting another review through me for Avery products. I'm a huge fan of Avery. They are innovative in design and usefulness. Today I have their UltraTabs. These are quite nifty for the color-coded and organized mind. They are durable and 2-sided. But best of all, you can write on them and they are smudge-free. Index or flag notes so you know exactly where to look later. Each pack comes with 80 re-positional tabs. The only downside I can see would possibly be price. They are $11.19 a pack. A little more than I might like to pay, but you are are getting better quality.
They also sent a 5 tab moveable tab divider set. These are great for a 3 ring binder. They have the features of the other tabs included and ready to go. It is also made of a durable, heavyweight card stock with reinforced holes to make them last longer. They have printable divider sheets to make it easier for you to add designs to them. Sorta doll up or create a more appealing outward look. These are only $2.98 a pack. Avery is also wonderful about having free templates online. You just enter the product number, find the one you want, create the design, and it prints perfectly in line with your page.


What better way to keep things organized at home or at the office? So check them out and let me know what you think in the comments below! Also, keep in mind, that Shoplet.com offers more than just office supplies. They also have cleaning supplies, medical supplies, and office furniture.

Master Caster review

Shoplet.com is again hosting a great review. This time it is for Master Caster self adhesive wheels and the microfiber gloves they sent my way.
I don't know about you, but I've been having fun cleaning and preparing for family get-togethers. And let me tell you... its been quite the trial. Moving furniture is never something I do randomly. Most of the furniture I have is heavy. Mast Caster Instant Swivel Wheels alleviate me having to move or lift those objects completely on my own strength.
Simply attach the wheels with the self adhesive strips that stick very well. And your furniture glides across the floor. My table now slides back and forth across the carpet with a push or slight tug. I can make room for more at the dinner table without struggling and fighting the table to move. Or worrying about it pulling the carpet out of sorts. I love how easy they were to apply. They also swivel as needed. And they can hold up to 250 pounds! They come in 4 packs and require no tools to attach. These are $21.41 for a 4 pack of wheels.


The Master Caster CleanGreen Microfiber cleaning and dusting gloves are great for dusting. My fiancé and daughter both have allergies and he has asthma. I try to keep a clean house and as little dust around as possible to help their breathing be better. Besides, its definitely healthier for all of us. These gloves make it as easy as just swiping my hand across the surface. Then I can shake them off and wash them out as needed. Even better is a two-handed job that cuts my cleaning time. Granted, that's only if I don't have to lift things with one hand... The microfibers attract dust like magnets. They are $7.40 a pair.

Don't forget to check out Shoplet and see the other great office supplies they have to offer. They have office furniture, medical supplies and cleaning supplies as well. They are a great source for all your home and business office needs!

Time to get organized

Let's face it, I'm always trying to stay organized. Every day I seek to keep my to-do list, my home, and my kids on track. Next month starts a new year. And with it comes a lot of changes. I've been slacking with my pregnancy, but I'm getting back into the groove of things. To help me in my endeavors, I've got this nifty At-A-Glance planner that was sent to be reviewed by Shoplet.com.
Shoplet is the largest e-tailer of office supplies. They have a great selection for your home and business office needs. They also carry a variety of cleaning supplies, medical supplies, and office furniture.
This planner goes weekly and monthly through 2017.
It gives you equal spaces for weekends as it does for weekdays. I prefer this since my weekends are usually just as busy as my week days.
There are also monthly tabs to help you find things quicker. It's 8.5 x 11 inches. As much as I like having a pocket sized one for my purse, this one won't get lost in the clutter. I'm also loving the purple cover and the design it has. I'm not for being fancy, but I do like a little creativity in my life. One other thing I find very interesting about this planner, is that it tells you what day and how many days are left in the year! So January 1st is day 1/364.
The 2nd is 2/363. Got a hot date coming in the next year? Keep track of how many more days you have to wait! Or... watch the days past and reflect on what you've been filling them with. Are you living up to your fullest potential?

An Artistic review to organize the office desk with!

Shoplet.com has sent me something else of interest to review for your guys. They have some wonderful office supplies, that I love testing out and seeing where or how it will work for me. Organization is key for me, both at home and at work. Especially when it comes to office things. I do side jobs at home from time to time and need my work space to be clear and focused. That's why I love this Artistic Lift-Top Desk Pad.
 
It has a grip pattern underneath to help keep it in place on my desk. The top lifts up to allow me storage of documents or pictures.
There is a printed protractor and metric ruler in the top corner.
This pad will protect your desk from dust and scratches. It has a washable surface. And a great non-glare surface to reduce reflection.
The lift-top idea is great for reminders. Put an invitation card or to-do list under it and have it in view every time you are at your desk working on projects. Things like this will help keep you on task. More so than loose papers that get tossed into a stack and forgotten until you go searching.
This pad measures 19"x24". Something to keep in mind when you are thinking to pick one up. Shoplet.com is the largest e-tailer of office supplies. You can check out this Artistic lift-top desk pad, here, which runs for $36. Always watch for deals. If memory serves me right, the current promotion is free shipping on orders Shoplet offers such deals often. You can sign up for their newsletter and have them email you with current deals or offers. Look at other Artistic products as well.
Shoplet also provides cleaning supplies, medical supplies, and office furniture. The greatest thing about them? You can shop for all these things from the comfort of your home.
So I'm curious, what is your favorite thing about this product? Would it be useful to you? Leave me a comment below and tell me about it!

Smead product review via Shoplet.com

As you have heard me say many times before, being organized is a big deal to me. Everything has a place, everything in its place. With my herd of kids, it's even more important. That's why I loved getting the Smead folder products that Shoplet sent me for reviews. Shoplet.com is the largest e-tailer of office supplies.
This time I received the 3-in-1 SuperTab Section Folders and the Organized Up Vertical Expanding Files. 
The Organized Up Vertical Expanding Files folder stands vertically. It expands as you add into it. There are 12 pockets with SuperTabs that are 90% larger for your labeling convenience. They also include the blank labels so you have a fresh start for making the labels. If you go to Smead.com, you can download the free printing template to print the right sizes on the labels to keep them beat and legible. There is a security flap and cord in the front to protect your documents from falling out. 

The 3-in-1 SuperTab Section Folders are another thing I love.
I use them to organize important papers. One of them works well for the medical documents that I have to take from one doctors office to another. I keep my children's medical records in another one. It also helps that they come in different colors. So you can separate your filing system by color. Whether you need to organize your kids school stuff or your office desk, they are a great pair of products! 

Shoplet doesn't just offer the largest selection in office supplies. They also have cleaning supplies, medical supplies, and office furniture.

Paper Mate review via Shoplet.com

Back to school is in full swing. From those starting pre-K to those going back for another semester in college. It's time to prepare and stock up on all those supplies that you can find listed as "needs". Shoplet.com could be a great resource if you want to avoid the hustle and bustle that office and school aisles are crowded with. Everyone is looking to get those folders, pens, paper, etc that you are looking for. Shopping online eliminates the need to be among those crowds. You can shop from the comfort of your pajamas and office chair. Shoplet is the largest e-tailer of office supplies.
Shoplet sent me some cool products by Sanford to review. Products they provide include Sharpie, PaperMate, Expo, uni-ball, Dymo and Rubbermaid.  
PaperMate is a wonderful brand. I received some unique mechanical pencils, ball point pens and the Liquid Paper that will help hide mistakes. 
The PaperMate Mechanical Pencils are triangular in shape to be easier to hold.
They boast less breakage and do not have to be sharpened. This makes them great for all those standardized tests that kids are being put through. It also has a smudge resistant eraser. And lastly, they are refillable. At $2.44 a pack, they are a decent price too. 
The PaperMate Correction Tape (Liquid Paper) is one of my favorite items.
I don't like messy mistakes. So editing until it's perfect or covering it up are a must. This makes doing so all the easier. No wet brush. It has a swivel tip too. Its easier to hold and handle with the sleek design and comfort grip. 
I love that it is made from 60% recycled materials. It applies dry so that you can start rewriting immediately. The tape is strong enough to be tear-proof. 

I loved using the limited edition Electro Pop Sharpie Markers.
I used them to work on the notebook designs I have for preparing for my baby girl due in November. 
The ultra fine tips allowed for the finer details. The colors are bright and live up to their names; Optic Orange, Techno Blue, Nano Blue, Electric Pink, and Ultra Violet. I don't use something like this often enough to want to pay $5.32 a pack though. This is geared more towards creative use. 
Lastly, they sent some PaperMate (InkJoy) Pens. This pack comes with a wonderful assortment of colored inks. I love the grips that enable comfortable writing. They don't smear either thanks to their quick drying. 
They come in 8 packs for $3.87. 
What is your favorite product?

On top of things like this, Shoplet provides cleaning supplies, office furniture, and medical supplies.

This weeks penny deals

Every week at Office Depot, there are penny deals. We have been stocking up for next years school needs. This past Sunday, we were able to get 3 composition notebooks, 3 bottles of glue, and 3 packs of erasers each. 
These are things I know will be on the school lists. Best part is? This whole lot cost .20!

Office Depot deals and the stock pile

I love the Office Depot deals. Their weekly changing of the penny deals helps me save money and put aside the supplies that my elementary kids and college fiancĂ© need. Last week I almost didn't get anything. This week I hit two stores and scored at both. I have pronged folders for all of them, mechanical pencils for the fiancĂ©, colored pencils, Sharpie markers, pencil boxes and notecards. 
This entire lot cost me a little under $2! Some of the pencil boxes I will be using to organize my office supplies box for easier access throughout the year. The notecards are great for quick lists or to keep in the car for those "I need paper!" moments. The pack of Sharpie markers were $1 for 5. I picked up the color pencils as I noticed my kids have gone through most of theirs and were .50. You are supposed to have a $5 minimum purchase. What I found is that when they scan everything, then total it out - the discounts apply.

Pentel review via Shoplet.com

Writin isn't just a hobby for me. It's a passion. Letters, stories, even recipes! They are all special. A persons handwriting is even unique to them. It's very difficult to truly master the ability to copy another persons writing. And your handwriting can even tell a story about you. It can show stress, or other emotions in how you do curves or how hard you press. 
But you need good utensils when writing something worth holding on to. And that's one thing I love about Pentel.
Shoplet sent me some more of their products. A pen and some mechanical pencils.
 I passed the pencils on to a college going fellow who happens to prefer them. I'm pleased to announce that he liked his "fancy" new gadgets. The pen, however, I refuse to give up. It's smooth and cool to my touch. It handles well as I write in a comfortable grip. And I love the metallic blue color. Click on the blue, if you want to see what other Pentel products they have to offer.
Shoplet.com offers so many office supplies to keep you working and producing greater results. They also have cleaning supplies, medical supplies, and office furniture. Check them out and see what deals you can find!

Acme Westcott scissor review via Shoplet.com

Time for another Shoplet.com review! I love their great selection for office supplies. They are the number one e-tailer for all your office needs. This time, I’m showcasing a pair Acme Westcott Carbo TitaniumStraight Scissors.
I’ve had scissors of all sorts around the hours before. But I have never owned anything as serious as these bad boys. I can cut through cardboard and plastic! These things are super comfortable in my grip. The blades are titanium-bonded which makes them stronger than steel and they should stay sharper longer. I also appreciate the pointed tip which helps keep your cuts precise.
When thinking about uses for these scissors, my first instinct would be for crafting. I mean… they can cut through wire and cardboard… thin plastic… It almost seems a shame to use them on just regular paper. But I know if I did, it would be just as smooth a cut. They are actually listed as a crafting and rec room product though.

The only con I really have for these would be the price. $24.81 a piece seems steep. Granted, I don’t buy high end scissors so I could be off and these could be a steal!

What would you use these for? I'm thinking these might even work in a bug out bag...

Shoplet has other things for your home or office needs. Such as cleaning supplies, other Westcott products, medical supplies and office furniture. So be sure and check them out.

Avery Label review via Shoplet.com

I love Shoplet.com! They have so many wonderful things to choose from when stocking your home or business office. They are the number one e-tailer for office and business supplies.  This is great in the sense that you can do all your one-stop-shopping at once, saving you time and energy. I know searching for the cheapest deals is great, but sometimes I just don’t have the time. And driving from place to place isn’t saving me money when I’m using so much gas. So I like having multiple options of all my must haves in one central location. There is also the added bonus of catching deals like free shipping or discounts randomly when you need it!

Being a brand ambassador with Shoplet lets me have the chance to try out many types of office products they offer and then pass the word on to you, my readers, to give you a trusted first-hand account. Word of mouth is typically one of the best ways to know if a product is worth my time and money. I hope that my review of the following product is helpful in the same way to you!
Shoplet sent me these cool labels. I can’t tell you how much I love labels. Easy to use, read and organize everything I have with a simple label. This year, I’ve been working so hard to clear out unnecessary clutter in my home and life. Things that I don’t use or need are getting tossed, donated and sold. The things I do use, I’m organizing. Everything is going in a box or place where I can find it when I need it. Especially after my move…

I love Avery labels. They have templates you can use on the website. Each product has a corresponding number that you can put in the search that allows you the perfect dimensions to create your labels. There is no guesswork needed. No measuring. Everything is set up and ready to go. You just need to have your wording in mind to get started. These in particular are the Avery Easy Align Self-Laminating ID labels.
The patent-pending Easy Align labels are supposed to laminate themselves so that they last longer. You print the label and seal it with a clear laminate film.
They are also UV resistant and water resistant. So you can wipe them off and they won't fade as quickly in the sun. 
Shoplet.com offers more than just Avery products. They also have cleaning supplies, office furniture and medical supplies.
What sort of uses would you have for a product such as this? Tell me about it in the comments section! And I might just hold a giveaway for a 250 count pack of these if I get enough requests for them...  Possibly even throw in some pens from Pilot. Yes, I'm testing to see who actually reads this to the end instead of looking at the pictures!

Pilot Pen review via Shoplet.com

I have a new review from Shoplet.com. This time it is for Pilot brand pens. Shoplet is the leading e-tailor for office supplies. They have a large selection for pretty much everything you could possibly need for your home or business office. I have four types of pens from them.

I received the Acroball Pro Advanced Ink Pens, Acroball PureWhite Advanced Ink Pens, Acroball Colors Advanced Ink Pens, and a Dr. Grip Frosted Pen. This last pen is brand new and has barely even been added to their website just yet. So here’s a preview into what you can expect!
I can see why its call the Acroball Pro pen. It has a sleek design with the color scheme and metal accents that make it look professional. It’s a medium 1.0mm with hybrid ink. Hybrid ink combines the vibrancy of gel ink with quick-drying ball point ink to make your writing smoother. I love the fact that it has comfort grips. I now work in an office. So keeping my fingers comfortable is my goal. Whether I’m typing or writing, I need to be able to do so for long periods of time. It fits comfortably in my hands and the writing comes out fluidly. It dries quickly. No blowing on my papers before moving on!

The next one I have to show you is the Acroball PureWhite pens. These are what they say, a pure white color with colored grips. It’s a clean look. It also has the hybrid ink and comes as a fine .07mm. This design is more of a fashionable approach. Writing with this one provides a sleeker look. I’m also happy that it has the grips.

The Acroball Colors are colorful pens. They come just like the Pro and PureWhite, with the grips and hybrid ink. They are closer to the Pro, however, with the medium 1.0mm tip.

Lastly, I have the brand new, not even up fully on the site yet, Dr.Grip Frosted pen! Beautiful color! I’m a fan of a nice looking pen, so this light frosted blue is right up my alley. It’s a medium 1.0mm ball point pen. The advanced ink is supposed to be smear-resistant. So if you are constantly writing like me, you know that you don’t want to be stopped by ink that smears as you go. Everything needs to be kept neat and tidy. This retractable pen is also refillable. So even after you use it up, save it and get the refills. Less trash and more use of something you will love. It is also endorsed by the Arthritis Foundation for its ease of use. Arthritic hands need that extra boost of help sometimes.  The grip almost feels like it is full of gel but it isn’t. The frosted feel of the pen makes the whole thing comfortable to use. I really LOVE this pen!

Pilot has many other types of pens that you could find useful to have. Whether you need erasable inks, or my favorite – B2P aka Bottle to Pen. B2P pens are recycled from plastic bottles and made into really cool pens. Not only are they making something that everyone has a use for, but they are cutting down pollution in plastic bottle forms. Reduce, reuse and recycle! Something my kids remind me often. There are gel ink pens, advanced ink pens, rolling ball or ball point pens. They even have 2 designs with the Go Pink theme to show your support of Breast Cancer. The Dr. Grip will be one of those! If you want to check out more Pilot products, just click the link.
Shoplet has branched out to offer other supplies as well. You can get medical supplies and cleaning supplies. Check them out and don't forget to leave a comment about what you like and what you might want to see more posts of.
