Through The Eyes of The Easily Impressed

I have to share this picture of our new, beautiful clematis vine growing on the trellis that Greg put in this summer. I love these flowers, and this is the first time we've ever planted clematis. Two thumbs up from me!

Next I have to tell you about something that has changed my life. For all of you that actually live exciting lives, perhaps you can take this opportunity to spend a few moments seeing through the eyes of one who is easily amused and impressed.

You are about to read an infomercial. I'm sorry, but I have to share a fabulous new product with you, because it really has transformed my life (well, in a surfacey sort of way - pun 100% intended). I am not receiving one drop of commission, credit, or any other business-related benefit, just so you know...

The product is called the Mystic Maid. All it is is a microfiber cleaning cloth, but it is miraculous! I was just introduced to it while cleaning the ballet studio where Emma dances.

As an aside, Emma is a beautiful dancer, and her ballet director wants her in three classes this year. Well, I only budgeted one, so she has graciously let me work a bit for her to pay for two other classes.

Anyway, Miss Dunri hands me this little cloth and says, "If you want to clean the studio mirrors, just use this a bit damp but not drippy."

"Just damp with water?" I ask skeptically.

"Yes, these are amazing," she says.

"We'll see," I say to myself. Who ever heard of cleaning a huge roomful of floor to almost ceiling mirrors with water?! Well, obviously, you know what happened. I was astounded; the mirrors were beautiful with not one streak.

So, of course, I needed one of these for my very own. After convincing Greg that this was $13.00 well-spent, an investment, really- no more cleaners, it's washable and re-usable, I now have one! It's even better than I thought. This little cloth is designed to be used with water only. The cloth is made of microscopic microfiber split into thousands of micro-hooks and channels to "collect, trap, and remove dirt, dust, grease, and grime."

I know about those microscopic fiber hook and channel thingies, because one of our science books for school last year was the Usborne internet-linked Complete Book of the Microscope, and they showed us just such fabric.

Anyway, I have done our windows, mirrors, stove top, bathrooms, grease-covered stuff that no cleaner had gotten before, etc. And I am truly amazed!

Just had to share this exciting news with you. I bought mine at a hoity-toity kitchen store, but there's a website too http://www.mysticmaid.com/ .

Hope you've appreciated this message brought to you by Kelly, a (at least for now) faithful mysticmaid enthusiast and hopefully, at least a valued customer.
