a party thanks to Shutterfly and House Party! Not only does
Shutterfly offer great-quality produts, but they have some amazing deals as well. I make all of my Christmas cards on Shutterfly's site and they are always a big hit! They offer cards for all different seasons, holidays, occasions...there are religious cards, plain cards, and pretty much every type of card available. Shutterfly also offers some other neat photo products. I myself have ordered 26 books and counting, aprons, magnets, coasters, jewelry boxes, pen holders, ornaments and so much more, and because of all of their awesome deals I hardly pay anything! Other photo companies are good, but the quality never really compares to that of Shutterfly.

Annie Chun's Roasted Seaweed Snacks

Have you ever tried seaweed? Most people don't even want to give seaweed a chance, but it is so healthy and tasty! I recently had the opportunity to sample Annie Chun's Roasted Seaweed Snacks which come in two flavors: sesame and wasabi. Now, I've only had seaweed on sushi or in miso soup prior to sampling these so I wasn't sure what I'd think about seaweed as a snack. I'm so glad I was able to try it though, because now I (and my one-year-old) are completely addicted. My son will actually choose these snacks over cookies! He just can't get enough! Annie Chun's Roasted Seaweed Snacks are like chips; they are crunchy then melt in your mouth. They are perfectly salty, yet low in sodium! My favorite flavor is sesame (that's my son's favorite too as he's too young for the wasabi flavor.) I do like the wasabi flavor as well, but this flavor is a bit spicy for a family snack unless you have older kids and you can't eat as many as quickly (which is good if you otherwise cannot hold yourself to one serving size like me.) My husband, little cousin, aunt and grandma tried these as well. In general, they do not  like seaweed, so I was not able to convert all of them, however some had previously tried other brands of roasted seaweed snacks and they said the Annie Chun's brand is far better and they actually didn't mind the flavor. My aunt actually loved the wasabi flavor and I was able to leave some extra samples for her! What flavor would you be interested in trying? Have you tried these already? If so, please post your reviewin the comments. The flavor I'm hoping they come out with soon is miso soup flavor. If you have any other ideas too, post below so they can see!
These seaweed snacks are great by themselves or you can crumple them over rice, into soup, dip in soy sauce or other dips...the list goes on! The only thing is that they do get stale quickly if left out in an opened package as they are very thin, so you have to eat them fairly quickly (which isn't a problem considering how very tasty they are!)

Swiffer® 360° Duster

If you have ever tried a Swiffer® Duster, you know that they are awesome. When I was at college, I would use them all the time because it was easy and they actually pick up the dust instead of throwing it around the room (this is very important to me considering I, as many others, am allergic to dust.) Now that Swiffer® has come out with the Swiffer® 360° duster, I am so excited! It is just like their older dusters but better because the duster goes all the way around the wand! Now I can dust both sides of the blinds at once, dust under things without scrapping the plastic handle on it, and I don't have to hold the duster a certain way (I tend to flip it over for no reason lol.) I also like that it is disposable. Although disposable dusters like the Swiffer® 360° duster cost more, if you have bad allergies like me it is well worth the extra cost. You can simply throw away the allergen and not have to go outside and knock it out, finding yourself suffocating in a clowd of the dust you just tried to clean up. Swiffer® also leaves no dust behind which means cleaner surfaces and no having to go back and clean up after you just cleaned.
