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! 

Master Caster Product Review

I love being a part of Shoplet.com's review group. They utilize my skills in blogging to showcase some pretty awesome products that they sell on the largest e-tailer site for office products. A quick disclaimer and I will do just that below! 

*Disclaimer: I received these products for free in exchange for my honest review of them. I was not paid or otherwise endorsed for this review. No other compensation was given and I was not told what to write.* 

I have been able to try these products before. I liked them so much, I was happy to test them out again. They sent me two products by Master Caster: Instant Swivel Wheels and their Dual Action Smart Gloves. 

The Instant Swivel Wheels are perfect for those of you doing some spring cleaning. They are advertised on TV as being easy to use, have a 360 swivel capability and require no tools to attach. I had attached them to my table once before. I was able to roll my table back and forth to accommodate dinner needs in our tiny dining room. This time, I decided to try something else.

The Dual Action Smart Gloves are just as amazing. First of all, they are useful for cleaning. These are made to be used on your electronic devices. You can wipe off all those fingerprints and yet, use them to send a text message in the colder weather still.  These microfiber gloves fit really well. Even on my long fingers. They are washable and stay lint free after being washed. Now, the last time I had gotten these, I didn't pay attention to what they suggested you use them to clean. Instead I had tested out using them to clean dust from the TV. I was sold! I even dusted my fan a time or two. After a quick wash, they were just like new. Still use that pair today. And then when the time came to bundle up in the cold, I kept my fingers warm while still being able to text and use my touch screen phone without sacrificing warm fingers. That is a huge deal for me! I am a human Popsicle. Easily frozen - especially on my fingers and toes. 

Shoplet does not just offer a wide selection of office products. They also have office furniture, medical supplies and cleaning supplies. Let me know what you think about these products and what other ones you would want to try.

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! 

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!

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.

House of Doolittle review via Shoplet.com

Time for another Shoplet review! They sent me a couple products from the House of Doolittle line. House of Doolittle specializes in making recycled paper products. I have the Meeting Planner that is made from 100% post-consumer paper.

It has a strong spiral binding and hard cover. I like hard cover books as they don't get bent or easy destroyed during transport and storage.

I'm a stickler for things staying neat and tidy. This planner helps you stay on track of all your important meetings. There are places to record the date, topic, meeting attendees, notes, start time, and action items.

At the bottom of each page is a full year calendar. 

The other product they sent me, was the Wall Calendar.

I love the nifty built-in hook on top. Held together by spiral, it flips easily and gives you a quick glance at 3 months per page. 

Remember to check out Shoplet.com for many other office supplies. They also offer other things like cleaning supplies and office furniture. Shoplet is the #1 e-tailer of business and office supplies. They carry an assortment of office supplies, cleaning supplies, medical supplies, office furniture, and everything in between. You can keep up with Shoplet in many ways besides checking the website itself. They are on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, they keep a blog, YouTube, and Instagram. 

Smead folder review via Shoplet

Shoplet has so many wonderful things for your office needs. Like the Smead folders they sent me. There is a Redrope TUFF Pocket File that I’m not particularly fond of, as this type of folder doesn't do what I'm used to.

It’s an accordion style on the bottom, but no dividers inside.

I like that it can stretch to accommodate more while not taking up too much space as it stores things. It does limit what you can store though.

The other folder they sent is more my style. The 3-in-1 SuperTab Section folder can divide and hold so much more while being the size of a normal 2 pocket folder.

It has the flap at the top to hold your papers in even when turned upside down.

Shoplet has a variety of office supplies to help you stay running smoothly. They also offer cleaning supplies and medical supplies. They are currently the number one e-tailer of business and office supplies. Check out the Smead brand products today to see what else might tickle your fancy. 

Hammermill laser printer paper review

I received some Hammermill laser print office paper via Shoplet.com.

Hammermill laser paper is definitely different than the normal Target brand printer paper we get. It's softer like silk and shows brighter when held in comparison.

The print jobs I tested it with were brighter. It also seemed quicker and smoother. 

As a bonus, they sent a stuffed zebra toy that my daughter has taken prisoner and refuses to return. I also have this lovely coffee mug that changes scenery when it heats up. Sharks anyone? I love it! I had to hide it away as I refuse to share it with my roommate. 

So don't hesitate to check out the amazing variety of office supplies that Shoplet has to offer. They also have cleaning supplies, medical supplies, and office furniture. 

Bostitch review via Shoplet.com

Shoplet.com sent out another product for me to review! This time its the Bostitch Dynamo Stapler.

Made by Stanley, its a sturdy addition to my office collection. And so far, I'm quite tickled by it. Its red (awesome color anywhere!). There is a built-in pencil sharpener in the back of it.

Also in the back is a built-in staple remover.

So the minute you realize you made a mistake and left a page out, you can remove the staple and then redo it without swapping out the tools to do so.

The underside of the stapler has a removable cover that hides the extra staples storage compartment. The top has a smooth grip to allow you hold it steady as you staple up to 20 pages at a time. 
Don't forget to check out the many other office supplies that Shoplet has to offer. They also have medical supplies, cleaning supplies, as well as furniture. So many great things provided by one company!

Schneider pen review via Shoplet.com

Shoplet.com sent out some wonderful Schneider pens for me to review.

These Schneider pens come from a company called Stride, Inc. Stride, Inc. is a small, family owned business that is owned and operated by women. They are  an integrated workplace with 50% of their colleagues being adults with intellectual and developmental delays. These colleagues package and ship the products and when possible, hand assemble the Schneider line for distribution in the United States. They included stories with my products about how Stride, Inc. got started and how one successful employee bettered his life. They seek to help their disabled employees make "Strides" toward being independent and successful members of society. These people are able to be integrated into a more normal life without being considered a burden. Stride formed a relationship with Schneider in Germany to be the exclusive agent in the United States. They seek to be as "green" as possible to leave the "campsite better than you found it". I'm definitely loving these pens. I believe every professional should have a set of cheap pens that don't matter when they walk away. But you also need a set of nice pens that never leave your sight while leaving an impression on anyone who borrows it. Better even if that pen has an amazing story that leaves other in awe of what you support. Now to tell you about each pen. 

The Schneider Xpress .8 mm Porous Point Pen Black is a soft feeling pen that grips well in your hand.

The ink flows smoothly like velvet on the paper. It's made for documents that require a comfortable but professional look.

The Slider Basic XB 1.4 mm Viscoglide Ballpoint Pen black is a basic ball point pen.

The ink is still smooth and effortlessly applied. It has a great grip too.

The Slider Memo XB 1.4 mm Viscoglide Ballpoint Pen 4 pack colors feels the same as the Basic XB but comes in colored inks. It has a full body grip that keeps your hand comfortable.

I'd use the red one for making notations or grading papers. The other colors are purple, green, orange and pink. Those are great for notating and fun notes. This uses the same ball point Viscoglide Technology as the Slider Edge. 

The Slider Rave 1.4 mm Viscoglide Retractable Ballpoint Pen black is another ball point pen.

It has a sleek housing that offers better grip than the Basic, but writes the same. 

Lastly, I have the Slider Edge 1.4 mm Viscoglide Ballpoint Pen Black.

This one is triangle-shaped as part of the Viscoglide Technology. It allows for better fitting in your fingers and a full bodied grip to make writing comfortable. This pen is made completely without adding to the carbon footprint

Schneider is the first pen manufacturer in the world to be EMAS certified. They seek to do more to protect the world and resources.
