I'm a busy lady and I bet you are, too. The to-do list is long and the daylight short. Right? And it's not often I get everything I need to do get done and I know I'm not alone. I thought I'd share a few little things in my life that are just easy, things that may grant you a few extra minutes to yourself which around here? Is everything.
The bounce dryer bar. I know, how hard is it to toss in a dryer sheet? It's not hard at all and yet not having to do it rules. It rules I say! The bar lasts about 3 months at my house and I do about 8-10 loads of laundry per week.
Neutrogena make up remover wipes. I fall into bed and pass out more nights than I get ready for bed. I read somewhere that going to bed with your make up one night, ages you 10 days. That adds up and I'm old enough as it is. I keep a pack of these in my night table and I like to pretend they keep me from aging. What I know for sure is they keep my eye makeup off my pillowcase.
The intuition razor. I never thought it was such a big process to soap up my legs before shaving but I love this razor. I got it in my goodie bag at the hospital after one of my births and hello, target audience nailed! I don't know how much time it saves me but it feels like I'm in and out faster which is good since I'm never, ever on time.
Febreze car air freshener. Having two kids means a lot of crap gets left in my car. Sometimes it gets smelly. Since I put this in it smells like rainbows and unicorns and not that other, stuff..
I'm sure I've mentioned this here before but my Shark steam mop. Most of my house is hardwood and I need to mop a lot, like every day or every other day. This makes it so much faster and physically easier. Not kicking around a big bucket and the floors dry almost instantly which means no little people fall down after slipping.
Your trun! Tell me about what you love, I'm always looking for more ways to improve monotony!
Ooh, I am sold on the car freshener idea... my car looks TERRIBLE right now. Damn Michigan winters - at least this way it would smell nice.
My favorite time saver/accomplish more bit would be the Clorox wipes beneath the bathroom sink. My husband makes a GIANT mess when he shaves but always used to wipe it up with the hand towel. UGH. Now he uses these and I don't have to hurt him anymore. ;)

I love the Intuition razor, but I hate buying the refills! Actually, that applies to all razor refills.
I have a cordless vacuum that I love because it picks up pretty well without me needing to drag out the big one for small things! It's not a Shark, but I will upgrade to one someday.

Your Shark Steam Mop link goes to the Febreze car fresheners :o)
I'm looking for a new steam mop to replace an old one and have been wondering which model people like best!

I have a Shark hand held vac that has a power head attachment. It is perfect for quick touch ups on carpet or removing dog hair from furniture! I also use it on the hardwoods to remove dog hair dust bunnies in between using my swiffer broom vac and wet jet.

Crap. Based on your second point, I must look about 4,000 years old. But I am always on the lookout for makeup remover that WORKS, so I am totally going to try the Neutrogena wipes.

Lysol wipes. I know, I know, they are neither novel or cute, but !!wow!! are they good at wiping down the bathroom in about 90 seconds.
