Artistic Rhinolin Desk Pad Review

We do not have a computer desk in our house.  Therefore, I wasn’t sure what I was going to do with this office product when I received it in the mail recently.  It didn’t take me too long to find the perfect spot for this Artistic Rhinolin Desk Pad.    Since most of my computer time is spent in the living room, on my couch I thought I would try putting it on our lift-top cocktail table.  It hasn’t left that location since!  When I’m ready to use my computer, I just lift up my table and my computer is resting right on top of the desk pad.  Love it!

There are several things I love about it. 

• First it does not move!  Seriously!  Every pad I’ve had in the past, always seems to work itself away from me.  This one hasn’t budge since I put it down several weeks ago.   Since It doesn’t budge, it protects my cocktail table from possible scratches and dents.  YEAH!!!
• I also love that I can move my computer over a little bit and do some writing when I need to.  I don’t have to worry about finding something to put between the paper and pad because it works perfectly without it. 
• It is a comfortable resting place for my wrists.  That’s pretty important when I do so much typing and I don’t enjoy pain!!!
• It is quite durable and washable.  I even put my tall glass of tea on it (as a coaster) and it the water ring wipes away as if it was never there!
• The size is quite large (24”x17”).  I can put my laptop, mouse, paper & my glass of tea right there beside it.

I have to admit I think it might be too pricey for my tight budget.  However, i think I would probably have overlooked the price.  There are just some things that are worth a little bit more…and this is one of them. 

Have you checked out Shoplet’s website??? If you haven’t you definitely need to!!!  You can do most of your  shopping in just one place.   They feature a variety of office stationery, office supplies, promotional shirts, and a nice variety of promotional products.  So keep them in mind next time you need to do a bit of shopping online.

10 Great Dates - Connecting Faith, Love & Marriage

10 Great Dates - Connecting Faith, Love & Marriage written by Larson & Arp was a wonderful book.    If couples want to grow together in their marriage, this would definitely be a book to try.  I was somewhat surprised by the content of the book.  Instead of giving ideas for Great Dates… it gives you topics to discuss.  Initially I was disappointed that I was not going to be shown the perfect ideas for a date with my husband.  I quickly got over it though.  J

Throughout the book there are some wonderful stories that were shared. Here are a few of my favorite date topics that were in the book

·         Building Your Marriage on a Strong Foundation

·         Making Your Marriage a Lighthouse

·         Experiencing God Together

·         Talking Together with God

I really enjoyed all of the date topics, but those were my absolute favorites.  For each of the 10 date topics there is  a section that the couple reads together (before the date of course).  There is also 2 pages that the couple does alone and then there is a 2-3 page discussion guide that the couple goes through together. The couple reads scripture together which is always a blessing for me.   

If you want to grow together as a couple, this would definitely be a book worth purchasing.  It will get you thinking about many different things together and as a couple. 

This book was sent from the Bethany House.  In exchange for this book, I have written this review stating my personal opinion of this book.
