Expression sponges make dish washing fun
It's all about style in your home -- even down to the kitchen sponge.
Whatever your mood or style, O-Cel-O Expressions cleaning line has you covered. Doing dishes is a necessary evil, so why not try and make it more pleasurable? Light a few candles, turn on some music, grab a glass of wine -- and your sponge.
For example:
The Prepster: If you've got a thing for ballet flats and headbands and prefer pearls to diamonds, then go for the adorably preppy Delta Blue with its soft, muted colors woven together and the scrubbing power to pack a punch.
The Zen Goddess: If you find yourself meditating while doing dishes (not a bad idea) and prefer yoga pants to blue jeans, then Bamboo Floral is the sponge for you to flutter off into the blue abyss.
The Life of the Party: If you love lingerie, perfume and dressing up, then the bright vibrant colors and patterns of Feather Leaves and Blue Peacock will take you there, back to your last great vacation or party or more carefree times.
Along with sponges, O-Cel-O features dish towels and other chic supplies that will add some flair to your cleaning or protect your manicure. Some are event scented.

NeatSheets make bed making easier
Have you ever been frustrated searching through the linen closet to find the right size sheets; tossed and turned at night because the fitted bottom sheet didn't fit well; or had trouble finding enough space on the night stand for a book, lamp, alarm clock, glass of water and the television remote?
Well, fret no more.
NeatSheets by Everest Luxury Linens tackles a variety of bedding problems in one easy package.
Available in three thread counts, 200, 350 and 600, NeatSheets are the creation of husband and wife team, Scott and Julie Everson of Provo, Utah, who came up with the idea after years of frustration with bedding that slipped off the corners of their mattress and didn't wear well.
The bedding sets come with SmartTags that clearly identify their size and the proper way to put them on the bed, three-quarters inch elastic around the entire edge of the fitted sheets to help prevent slipping, and patented side pockets for keeping all the necessary bedside items nearby.
The Classic 350 and Premiere 600 collections are made of 100 percent cotton, while the Lifestyles 200 collection is made of a 60 percent cotton and 40 percent polyester blend.
The sheets are offered in several colors and come in three sizes: standard, deep and extra deep. For those who prefer, the sheets can be ordered without the side pockets.
They are available at www.neatsheets.com and are priced from $39 to $199 depending on size and thread count.
Because selecting bedding products is very personal and many consumers want to see and feel the fabric before making a purchase, the company offers a 30-day 100 percent money back guarantee.
