I have something a little different for you on the blog today. I have some products to review from my Influenster VoxBox. What is a VoxBox, you ask? Here is an overview of the Influenster program.
The product I'm reviewing today is called the Original Dish Drying Mat.

What I Thought:
I have a dishwasher but I do have a lot of old dishes that have to be hand washed so I made dinner as usual and went to work on the dishes. This morning when I was putting the dishes away, I noticed that they were all dry (instead of the water that remains when usually placed on a towel or in the sink), and the memory foam of the mat was really great!
If I had seen this product in the store, I probably wouldn't have purchased it because I didn't think I needed it. But after using it, I would say it's definitely a useful tool to have in the kitchen and I will most likely be buying the larger version, too!
Talk to you soon!
