Product review realizations

When I get a product in the mail for review here on the blog -- I do one of the following:

  • Take the entire box and put it "away" for review, a little later.  This is mostly because I don't want Little Hands To Get Into Things.  Sometimes, things get forgotten this way.  (This is what happened to two cases of Premier Protein that I just found at my house -- not here at the apartment.)
  • Or, open the box and product immediately and try it!
  • Which leads to --
  • A) Super-fast Blog Posting (My fave -- you can tell when I REALLY LIKE SOMETHING...I almost did it today, didn't cause the camera died...) or
  • B) Delaying of Blog Posting.  Because I either didn't love on the product, it's just meh... or any other reason.
  • And then there's the complete forget.  This is when a PR company sends a product that's juuuuuust outside of this blogs topic, and I forget to do the post because, for example:  olive oil.  I just forgot.  These products are usually awesome, (Right now I still have SlimFast, SmartOnes, Olive Oil, and an office product waiting...) but I sometimes wonder if I need a Mom blog a la carte for this stuff.  Sometimes, and then I consider how many blogs I have HAD, including one for Just That Thing.  I don't know.  Something to think about.

The problem lies in this:

This is not necessarily a problem, but what you see are three boxes, one received today, one Saturday, one last week.  Not shown, the ginormous box of vitamins and protein products that I haven't even looked at from a New To Me company, and a couple of late reviews that I've let slip into "Uh-oh...."

I need a better system, obviously.  Because this is the stuff I enjoy doing.  It's time to catch up.

Writing, giving and sharing.
