Confession: I’m kind of obsessive about lists.

I LOVE them! I love making them, seeing things written in such a neat & organized manner, and I especially love crossing things off my list {which may or may not happen in a timely manner}.  I have notebooks in my purse, my car, my husband’s car, the nightstand by my bed, etc.  Lists on my iphone, my computer, my fridge, etc.  They aren’t only great for grocery needs, but for to-dos, goals, food journaling, exercise routines, random & creative lists, and the possibilities are endless!  Definitely need to work on some list consolidation as it’s easy to forget where I wrote what.

The problem.  I had no list in the shower.  I seem to have some majorly good ideas in the shower, as well as list items that always pop into my brain during my shower.  As soon as I get in, brilliance enters my mind & I have so many things to remember.  I’ve tried alphabetizing them in my head {works on occasion}, but alas, as soon as I step out, complete forgetfulness.  I have no idea what I was thinking in the shower and no way of keeping track while in there.

Such a conundrum! {I totally love that word, don’t you?}

Enter AquaNotes.  A friend blogged about these over a year ago and I’ve been smitten with the idea ever since.  A notepad you keep in the shower?  A pencil & paper that are waterproof?  No way.  So I kept them on my wishlist and continued having great ideas in the shower go down the drain.

Recently, AquaNotes was kind enough to send me a sample of their product to try.  I was super excited.  I hung the notepad & pencil {in it’s handy holder} by their suction cups in my shower the night I received them.  And I smiled at the beautiful sight.

The next morning, I tried them out.  I showered.  I splashed water on the notepad.  I wrote a note to my husband.  I splashed more water on the note-even tried rubbing my hand over it.  It didn’t smear!  It was easy to write, crisp & clean, and truly waterproof!  I was psyched.  The possibilities were seriously endless!  I envisioned my time in the shower becoming much longer as I wrote notes and lists about everything!

The next shower was blazing with ideas.  I had just woken up and my mind was going a thousand miles a minute.  I had a lot of random things to remember for the day {now you know how crazy my mind is first thing in the morning}.  I wrote the following note.  Again, lots of water and the note still looked awesome!

After I got dressed I returned to remove the note.  It ripped off cleanly and gave me much satisfaction to see the ideas I’d had in the shower in solid form-not to be forgotten!

I will definitely be purchasing AquaNotes in the future to make sure our shower doesn’t go without note taking capabilities again!
