Ten On Tuesday

Inspired from Allison Blass, at LemonadeLife.com and Courtesy of Roots and Rings.
For each of the following 10 categories, tell us which brand/product you use and why.

1. Cell Phone
I still have my original iPhone 3G from 2 years? ago. I love my iPhone! I tweet, facebook, check my email, check our YouTube channel, myspace, and love all of the camera apps. I used to have a Blackberry and a flip phone before that, and I don’t know where I would be without my iPhone. :)

2. Email
I use Gmail and Gmail Apps. I love the folders and contacts, and everything about my inbox. Mine looks like a notebook with the skin I installed. 

3. Toothpaste
Every time I need toothpaste, I’ll get to the store and forget the exact band that I used to have and just pick another one. Crest, Aquafresh, Colgate, they’re all good in my book. :) I’ve been trying a whitening toothpaste lately too!

4. Car
We have a hybrid something SUV. I can’t remember…but Jackie, Mom, and our Aunt Mama took a road trip in that car and LOVED it! :) We even vlogged in our Hybrid SUV. :) 

5. Writing Utensil
I agree with Allison on this one….the black Pilot Fine V5 or V7. I love writing with this pen…my sister? Not so much.

6. Lotion
I LOVE Eucerin Smoothing Essentials and in the summer I use Nivea Sun Kissed Beautiful Legs Lotion on my Legs. 

7. Interior Paint
I haven’t painted in years, so I can’t remember the paint we used last time. :[

8. Soda/Drink
I normally drink water and Iced Tea with Extra Lemon, and my Favorite soda is Diet Coke (with a lime at restaurants).

9. Laundry Detergent
We’ve switched from Tide to “Tide GE.”

10. Medicine
Insulin! I use Humolog in my Medtronic Minimed Insulin Pump with my new cool MIo Insertion Set. 

Well, that was fun! Comment below with any recommendations?
