I received product from Stargazer Cast Iron in exchange for this post.  All opinions are my own. Do you like to cook?  Over the years, I've really come to enjoy creating delicious meals for my family.  But there are things that have frustrated me too.  A big one is how terribly food sticks to my stainless steel frying pans.  I originally switched over because of all the chemicals and harmful ingredients in typical "non-stick" cookware.  But having half the meal stay in the pan gets old...fast.  Read more [...]

I was sent an Azio retro compact keyboard for my holiday gift guide. All opinions are my own. Ryan is a pretty practical person. He doesn't have any hobbies where he regularly spends money. Some years it's so difficult for me to come up with gift ideas for him that I just ask him what he would like. It's usually something fairly practical. A small mechanical keyboard has been on his wish-list for a while. I actually tried to get him one last Christmas but I got one that was so small that it lacked Read more [...]

Thank you to Piggy Paint for providing me with products to facilitate my blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. Today I want to talk with you about nail polish. We have all heard about how harmful solvent-based nail polish can be. It is full of chemicals. It can give you a headache, make you sick, and is frightening to think about what would happen if a kid accidentally ingested it by putting their hands in their mouth. Yuck! Did you know that if you drop solvent-based nail polish on a Read more [...]
