Aizome sent me two of their organic bath towels in Rosé Rubia to review. All opinions are my own. I'm picky about towels. I don't love the softest ones, because drying off with a blanket doesn't feel right to me, but I also don't want anything rough. So I was curious how Aizome's organic towels would compare when they arrived in Rosé Rubia. These have genuinely become my favorite towels that I own. I reach for them first now. In my opinion, these hit a really nice middle ground for softness Read more [...]

Momentum Carnivore Nutrition sent me cat treats for review. All opinions are my own. These days, I only have a cat, but I used to have two dogs. One thing all three of the pets I've owned have in common is that they absolutely LOVE single-ingredient freeze-dried treats. My husband and I joke that it might be the "stink," because freeze-dried treats do have a noticeable smell, though we don't notice it outside of opening the bag and giving a treat. Maybe the scent adds to their interest, too. However, Read more [...]

This is a sponsored blog post. Image by Magnific on Magnific.  A missed word on a recipe card, a child squinting at the classroom board, or a dull headache after a long screen session can be easy to explain away as part of a busy day. None of these moments points to a diagnosis on its own. But they can raise a useful question: has someone in the household quietly been working around a change in how they see? Small everyday workarounds are worth noticing Many adjustments happen almost Read more [...]

Le Serey sent me their Sequin Shimmer Bracelet to review. All opinions are my own. I love jewelry, but I go for pieces that I can wear 24/7 rather than matching different jewelry to different outfits. I like yellow-gold, and I like pieces that are somewhat minimal, yet beautiful. I recently received the Le Serey Sequin Shimmer bracelet. This bracelet is gorgeous! I've been wanting more gold-filled pieces that I can wear every day without worrying about them, and this one has been a great addition. Read more [...]

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 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 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 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 [...]
