The Beginning - apringz began out of necessity.
Coming home from work, my two sons were "starving" after practice so I started fixing dinner right away. Then splat! drip! Next thing I knew my shirt was ruined. I didn't have an apron, kudos to those who use them but in my life, it is just something else to wash . Besides, even when I did try one, it was never around when I needed it! So I tried a kitchen towel (one of those is always handy), but it kept falling off. So by trial and error (err, adjustments) apringz were created.
Easy & Convenient
apringz are easy and convenient to use. Simply grab your apringz, loop it around your neck, and then with a quick clip to your kitchen towel or napkin, you are saving your shirts from cooking and/or eating splatters. And since apringz are magnetic they attach to most refrigerators or file cabinets where they are visible and easy to grab -- not lost in a drawer somewhere -- so no excuses.
But you ask -
Why do I need an apringz? And where would I use it?
Here are a some situations for you to consider.
Working In the kitchen
- Do you brown meat, cook bacon, stir sauces, or just work in the kitchen?
- Wash dishes , pots & pans, and lean against the sink (aka Soggy Belly Syndrome), or just want a towel handy to dry your hands?
- Roll out biscuits and/or cookies and don't want to wear flour for the rest of the day?
Eating at home, the office, a restaurant, or in the car
- Suffer from Spaghetti Night-mares -- eating pasta and drip red sauce on, of course, a white shirt?
- Eat dinner in front of the computer or TV and spill food on your shirt?
- Eat or drink coffee in your car or at the office and don't want to wear the evidence for the rest of the day?
- Drip salad dressing on your shirt at the local restaurant (those tables are soooo far away)?
And wait, here are even more reasons
- Have a family member or friend in the hospital, a nursing home, or assisted living?
- Do you know someone with a physical problem that has difficulty eating, but a bib... no way?
- Are you tired of wearing toothpaste or makeup flecks on your clothes?
