Diamonds are a girl’s best friend and dogs are man’s best friend, but no one ever talks about what Mom’s Best Friend is. In case you’ve ever wondered, I’m here to tell you that I’m pretty sure it’s a Dyson vacuum.
My teenagers like to lay on the floor to watch movies and play video games. To add to that, my husband has both allergies and asthma and our house is a constant construction zone. We’ve been working on projects in our house since we moved in 3 years ago and many of these are drywall projects. If you’ve ever worked with drywall, I’m sure you’re aware that it can lead to a fine dust that gets on every single item in your house! It’s horrible. It wreaks havoc on my husband’s lungs and leaves dust all over the girls clothes…especially if they lay on the floor. It used to seem like we would vacuum daily, but still be left with dust everywhere.
Thankfully, we now have a Dyson DC24 Ball Multi Floor Vacuum Cleaner. It’s perfect for keeping the dust (and crumbs and dirt from soccer cleats) at bay!
When our Dyson Vacuum arrived, my girls actually fought over who got to vacuum first {I’m pretty sure that’s a first…teenagers fighting over who gets to vacuum}. My youngest daughter vacuumed our entire house every day for the first week we had it. The novelty has since worn off and the Dyson D24 does such a good job that she’s down to vacuuming the whole house only twice a week now.
The Dyson DC24Multi Floor is lightweight and bagless. It weighs less than 12 pounds so lugging it between the 1st and 2nd floors at our house is pretty painless.
One of my favorite features (and my husband’s) is the lifetime washable HEPA filter that traps microscopic allergens. I love knowing that we’re doing everything we can to keep asthma attacks and allergy flare-ups to a minimum.
If you asked my kids what their favorite feature is, they’d most likely mention the ball technology or the reversible wand. Those 2 features allow you to easily steer in tight places, vacuum crumbs up from under the kitchen counters, and get the cobwebs out of the corners. {What? You don’t have cobwebs? Oh…me either…}.
It also has a motorized brush bar which makes it easy to ground in dirt and pet hair from carpets. The motorized brush bar switches off for hard floors.
I thought that after a few uses, I would find things that I didn’t care for about this vacuum, but I honestly can’t come up with a single thing I don’t like and I’ve been using this vacuum for months! I never thought I’d ever love a household appliance or cleaning item, but this is the one. I’m completely smitten! Not only has it transformed our house (way less dusty and dirty), but it has also transformed my children’s personalities (they’re now willing to vacuum any time I ask.) They even vacuum without me asking!

Disclosure: Dyson provided me with the Dyson DC 24 Multi Floor Vacuum in order to facilitate this review. As always, all opinions are my own and are true and honest! {This is seriously the best vacuum I’ve ever owned or used!}

















If you’d have told me 2 years ago that I’d be participating in National Swimsuit Confidence Week, I would have laughed out loud. When you’re 95 pounds overweight, the idea of wearing your bathing suit in front of people you know is daunting enough. Posting a picture in a bathing suit on the internet…out of the question.








I always have gunk on my sunglasses. I’m not sure if it’s the bad habit I have of eating in the car (and then adjusting my sunglasses with food covered fingers) or if it’s tiny little elves who dance around in syrup and other sticky stuff and then dance on my glasses. All I know is that I’m constantly working to get them clean. And don’t even get me started on how bad the screen of my iPhone can get! I recently found something that works to keep both my sunglasses and my iPhone sparkling: Brilliant Lenses Cleaner and optical microfiber cloth. Brilliant Lenses is a premium eyeglass cleaner with SR-8 that adds a protective barrier to lenses to resist scratches and soiling from water, sweat, dust and dirt. For ALL types of lenses. And it comes in a little pouch that you can keep in your purse. I love that I can pull it out and wipe down my phone anytime I accidentally get a little of my lunch on it.





Today I’m mentioning unmentionables, so if you’re a guy, I suggest you stop reading.
