Vornado 6803 OSC Pedestal Air Circulator (fan) Review
Vornado sent me their 6803 OSC pedestal air circulator in black to review. All opinions are my own.
Ryan and I both sleep better with a slight chill, so this fan has been living in our bedroom for a couple of months now. Vornado describes the 6803 OSC as a step above typical pedestal fans, with whole room circulation from its Vortex Action technology. I was hopeful about that part going in. In my experience, it's a strong, sturdy fan, and I don't think it does much that a regular fan doesn't already Read more [...]
Prossioni Spa-Quality Bath Towels Review + Hand Towels Giveaway
PROSSIONI sent me their Signature Bath Towel Set for review. All opinions are my own.
I've never been the type to invest in luxury towels. When I needed new ones, I'd grab whatever was on sale at a regular retailer, use them until they got thin and scratchy, and replace them. I never thought that much about it, until recently, PROSSIONI's Signature Bath Towel Set changed my perspective on what quality towels actually feel like.
The first thing I noticed when I opened the set was how soft Read more [...]
HOMRELEXA Full-back pet-friendly Cross-Legged Office Chair Review
HOMRELEXA sent me their cross-legged office chair for review. All opinions are my own.
About a year ago, I bought a cross-legged office chair for myself. It had no arms, and no wheels. It was just a soft, extra-wide chair that allowed me to very easily sit cross-legged while working. I have diagnosed ADHD and ehlers danlos syndrome, and my therapist believes I am autistic as well. This combination means I find myself constantly sitting in ways that apply some pressure to my joints or "max out" Read more [...]

PetPivot AutoScooper 12 Self-Cleaning Litter Box Review
PetPivot sent me their AutoScooper 12 self-cleaning cat litter box for review. All opinions are my own.
PetPivot AutoScooper 12 Review
I only have one cat. When we first got her, I didn't think twice about just getting a really basic litter box. I couldn't see myself needing anything more fancy. I had some people tell me that they thought the same prior to getting a self-cleaning cat litter box, though. So, when PetPivot reached out about a potential review of their AutoScooper 12 self-cleaning Read more [...]
Can Cats Stay Home Alone? Top 5 Cat Breeds for Solo Time
This is a sponsored guest post.
According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, professional consensus in veterinary medicine indicates that extended isolation beyond approximately 24 to 48 hours without human interaction introduces measurable welfare risks for domestic cats, including stress responses, unmet physical needs, and behavioral changes that persist after the owner returns.
That guideline addresses the outer limit. The more relevant daily question for Read more [...]

Revolution Smart Toaster And Toastie Press Review + Giveaway
Revolution sent me their smart toaster and toastie press for review.
I used to think toasters were pretty much all the same. Two (or sometimes four) slots, a single dial to try to adjust how long the item cooks for. Maybe the dial is numbered from 0-5, maybe its from "lightest to darkest" but we try to memorize what setting we like for basic toast, and then guess completely anytime we're trying to make a bagel, a pastry, a frozen pastry or anything else! Right? That had been my entire life Read more [...]

Preparing for Pregnancy: MomCozy’s Pro-Collagen Belly Firming Moisturizer
MomCozy sent me products for inclusion in an article.
Ryan and I are hoping to get pregnant this year, which means I'm in that interesting phase of preparing - both mentally and practically. Part of that preparation includes thinking ahead to things I know I'll want to have on hand during pregnancy, and one of those things is a really good stretch mark cream. I was sent MomCozy's Pro-Collagen Belly Firming Moisturizer to feature, and honestly, their approach to this product is impressive.
