The older I get, the more I want the things used in my home to be simple and pure. Each day I make an effort to more natural cleaners and remedies.

One of the things that I have come to rely on are essential oils and various blends. There are an unlimited number of combinations and a million remedies.

IllumiBowl: Motion Activated Toilet Night Light Review

IllumiBowl: Motion Activated Toilet Night Light Review and Giveaway

As I have aged, I have discovered that I wake up more often in the night to use the restroom. At night, our house gets dark and often times lights are needed to walk around.

We have strategically placed night lights throughout my path to the bathroom and, if I am speaking honestly, even those can not assist me on my most tired nights.

Often times I get caught watching reruns of my favorite shows, and it was on one of these reruns I saw a colorful solution to this nightly problem. The IllumiBowl caught my attention to from the color to the simplicity.

Twisted Wares – A Twisted View for Your Kitchen

An Introduction to Twisted Wares plus a Giveaway

I am a sarcastic person, and I normally have an opinion about anything and everything. Often times I let this flow into every aspect of my life. Lucky for me, I married somebody who is equally sarcastic as I am.

Given that sarcasm in our house is the normal, when we give gifts we like to infuse and ad that sarcasm when possible.

I am always on the look out for high quality, funny, and useful items to give as house-warming or hosting gifts. Recently a website called Twisted Wares was brought to my attention. Twisted Wares has witty, sarcastic and funny sentiments on household items such as towels, napkins, aprons, bags and pillows.

dbest: Smart Cart Review

dbest: Smart Cart Review + Giveaway

There are many advantages to living on the coast, but the one disadvantage is parking. Where we live each resident is allocated one spot that may or may not be in front of your house, depending on the spots numbering. What this means is that if you are a two car household, one person will be parking on the well-traveled and always busy 101.

The most difficult part of this parking situation is when you have items to carry to be brought home. Unless there is a way to carry multiple items, most times a walk down is necessary, as well as repeated a couple of times.

Given that this walk is uphill on the way back (the time when the items are the heaviest), I am always looking for an easier way to carry the items I will need while keeping my carrying load low. When I was recently watching my normal Friday night shows, I saw a potential solution – Smart Cart.

EntertainArt: Just Keep Swimming Along Review

EntertainArt: Just Keep Swimming Along Review

One of my favorite movies is Finding Nemo.

The reason that this is one of my favorites is the message that family is who you chose and what you make of it, and with the support of friends, great things can happen.

When the Finding Dory was released I was eager to see this second movie, and was very happy that the message of friendship and acceptance was loud and strong.

For me prints and images remind me of these moments in movies, so when I had the opportunity to review a print from EntertainArt, I knew that I wanted a Nemo themed print.

Monthly Mystery Box of Awesome: May 2017 Review

I am a firm believer that each day should have an element of pure randomness and fun. This can be from paying it forward to the person in front of you or this could be a visit from an old friend. The best way to have some randomness is in the mail – each day is different and sometimes random and a surprise.

Each month when I receive the Monthly Mystery Box of Awesome by That Daily Deal.com my love of randomness is fulfilled. Each month no theme is chosen for this monthly box, but rather a selection of random gender neutral items that will undoubtedly meet a need of yours or a lucky recipient that you were unaware you had.
