I've worked for the same employer for 20 years, a few different offices, the last one for 10 years.  I had this hard plastic chairmat for probably most of that time.  I HATED it!!  It moved everytime I moved my chair.  Every morning I would come in, move my chair and shove that darn mat back in it's place!  When my boss got herself this new mat that never seemed...

This heavy duty tub mat from Walmart is terrific.  The tub mat is made of commercial grade vinyl and comes in a standard size 16" wide by 30" long.  The mat is extra heavy weight and easy to clean.  it is recommended that you wash it with mild detergent before installation.  To install the mat in your tub you first run water to wet the surface of the tub. You then ...

Gaiam yoga mat is the first yoga mat that I've ever own. This is one of the thinner yoga mats that I bought in a pack. It's a hot pink color and works very well. The particular design that I own seems to be unique since I haven't found it on the internet. You can also get other colors such as green or brown. One of the best features about it is the non-slip surface. I have sweaty pa...

After a couple years of practicing pilates and taking classes, I decided that I wanted to get my own pilates mat so I wouldn't have to keep borrowing the ones provided at the gym/classes/etc. I also wanted to be able to do it own my own...outside, when I'm traveling, etc. So I did a bunch of research and I especially wanted a mat that was eco-friendly, cute and easy to store. I fin...

It is that time of the year again where everyone (or nearly everyone!) heads to the beach for a nice soak in the cool sea water and a great basking under the glorious sun.That is a great activity for most people who live here in Dubai because it is perennially hot here where the sun shines so bright and HOT! Although going to the beach can only be done on certain times of the day (the early mor...

I bought this Aqua Doodle Puzzle Mat for my grandchildren.  I wanted an activity toy for them that was not messy and something they could learn from as well as play with. It comes with two magic pens that you simply fill with tap water. Push the pen down on the mat and you will see it show up and then slowly disappear.  I really like t...

The Aquadoodle Mat is a fun little toy that uses water in a not so messy in the house type of way. The "pens" are filled with water, and used to draw shapes and designs on the mat square. The drawings magically appear from the water being on them,and they last for 5 minutes or so. They are not sloppy wet either, it is just enough to make it show up and enjoy. The toy also has stampers...

I bought a small rug for our kids' bathroom from Pottery Barn for Kids last year.  I thought it was absolutely adorable, and hoped that it would be as durable as it was cute.The rug is very soft and fluffy, and absorbs all the water dripping off my little ones as they exit the tub (or play in the toilet).   It is a nice size, as it's big enough to stand both kids on, yet small...

Our church purchased some interlocking rubber mats made by Step2 to go under the climbing mats in the toddler nursery.  We wanted something safe, but fun and these mats seemed to fit the bill.  These mats have tongues and grooves just like puzzle pieces and are very easy to put together.  They are slightly textured so little feet have traction. They are made of 3/4" thick fo...

When it comes to yoga mats, there is simple and there is nice. A combination of the two is hard to find at a reasonable price that isn't cheap. I think I found that mat.The Black Diamond Yoga Mat provides the user with a working surface that is approximately 2 feet by 6 feet. The mat I tried was grey/charcoal in color, and had a smooth surface to lay/exercise on. The best part of this yoga ...

I was looking for a solution for a problem that involved needing a rug that could go in a bathroom and dry fast. I noticed many of these little catalogs I get in the mail were all selling the same rug. It was beige with a tan trim. They all claimed this rug was wonderful. It:dried faster than any other rugabsorbes a lot of  waterhas non slip backingmachine washable So I thought I would try...

I began doing yoga back in college. It was a great way to stay in shape and a wonderful way to begin and end the day. After three years of classes, I started teaching some myself. I continued to teach a few classes and gain more certifications until I started a family. Like many women; my kids, husband and even the family pets are given more attention than I give myself and I just ran of hours ...

Each of my children received these cute nap mat, pillow, blanket combination sets for Christmas. They come in different animals, so there is a variety. These are a very practical item for children. The mat, which is made of foam and covered by a soft material, unfolds and the warm fleece blanket is actually attached to the mat so it can't be lost. There is also a pillow that velcroes to the...

Alaska is too huge of a place with so many different options of travel and adventure that people tend to pick one type of vacation first then realize that they want to try other places and other times of the year for wilderness. It really depends on what type of adventure you will want on your vacation. It will vary from 4-7 day cruises through the Alaskan Pan-Handle, one day cruises through th...

I had bought the Infantino Mat because I needed to spend twenty more dollars to get a discount. So that is what I did. I really think I wasted my money. I thought hey this look cool. My baby is learning to roll over this will be great. Boy was I wrong. My  baby could care two cents about the mat. I find it crazy I have seen so many great reviews about the mat and even some s...

Sometimes he even brings in into the living room.  He als...

This is my second yoga mat and I like it much better than my first off brand mat.  The color is my absolute favorite that I have seen available.  Gaiam is a name I see a lot when it comes to yoga or pilates related products so I felt like I was getting at least an adequate product when I was deciding whether or not to  make the purchase.  The stickiness of my previous mat wa...
