Electrolux Versatility Review
The Electrolux Versatility EL8502 Vacuum Cleaner is a bagless HEPA upright with Quick Release Wand and hand-held turbo-brush, crevice tool and dusting brush to easily clean everything from floor to ceiling.
If you are looking for a nice bagless vacuum then this is it!
Pros:
· Clean Air emitted from the vacuum while vacuuming
· Lightweight attachments
· Retractable dusting brush on the end of the attachment wand (one of my fav features)
· Attachments are easy to use and don’t tip the vacuum over
· Relatively Quiet
· Easy to dump dust cup
· Turbo tool that is held in place on the front of the vacuum by a magnet (way cool)
· Wonderful suction power
· Floor-to-Carpet switch on the handle
Cons:
· No cord reel
· Medium weight
I just know what I like, but Steve (my husband and self proclaimed vacuum expert after 25 yrs in the biz) says cord reels make vacuums heavier and lightweight vacuums just don’t clean as well. So, to get a good clean, there will be some weight and to have the convenience of a cord reel, it adds more weight. Not to mention one more thing that (more frequently than other parts) can break.
Overall, I really like this vacuum cleaner. I have only done a test drive through the house so far. I will post more as I use it more.
Stone River Music Festival Nature at it's Best!
Great way to enjoy nature, hear some awesome music and give back to the local community by helping their music programs.
The first annual Stone River Music Festival will be held September 24-26, 2010 on private land prepared and donated for this event by Lincoln County residents Jim and Vickie Pittsley. This beautiful setting, located 3 miles North of the picturesque town of Chandler, will be the backdrop for an entire weekend of grass roots music showcasing Oklahoma bands and musicians.

New Personal Care Products and Best Friends
Had a couple of my best friends over the other night. These are women I have known since I was in elementary school. Yes, that was a long time ago. One flew in from Washington DC and the other still lives in the small town where we grew up, Chandler, OK. There's nothing like people you've known your whole life. Can't even pretend to be somebody you're not, because they know better. I am truly blessed to have a group of friends that I've known that long. This is the group of people that I can always count on. We all know we are blessed and try to get together as often as possible.
On to the reason for my blog. I had samples from several companies, Fruits and Passion, JR Watkins, Daub and Bauble, Van Yulay, and we sat down to try these products and decide which ones we should sell in our store. Problem is, we liked them all.
Fruits and Passion has a nice gourmet kitchen line, Cucina. They have ceramic and glass bottles with lotion and soaps for the kitchen which are very nice, higher end and of course, smell great.
JR Watkins has been around since 1868; nestled in the Mississippi River Bluff town of Winona, MN., Watkins has been America's pioneer in natural living since 1868. We like that they've been around so long, they are in Minnesota, (where my husband is from and where all our children, grandchildren and most of his family still live) and they have several product that are certified by the Natural Products Association. We love the lavender and vanilla lotions.
Daub & Bauble, another product made by a Minnesota company, is just cool. Cool packaging, cool scents and cool products.
Van Yulay, a company from North Carolina has some nice personal care products, a lot made with Emu Oil. I have some issues with their packaging and labeling, but they are small and they hand make the products and hand label the packaging. Gotta love that.
Watch for some individual postings about some of these products and which ones we decided to put in our store and on our website. More to be revealed as soon as I get a new keyboard.
