OWC sent me the Envoy Pro Mini for inclusion in my holiday gift guide. All opinions are my own. My family got our first home computer in 1999, when I was 8. Prior to that I used computers at school and at my aunts house. I started dabbling in HTML when I was around 11, running my own free "website" on angelfire. I've been blogging for a living since my early 20's. I don't think of myself as terribling lacking in tech knowledge.  At the same time, my partner Ryan just is a tech lover in Read more [...]

Platinum Online Products set me a magnet fishing kit for my holiday gift guide. There are affiliate links in this post. All opinions are my own. If you know someone who likes fishing, treasure-hunting or both, they're likely to love magnet fishing. Magnet fishing is a hobby that has gotten really popular recently! Yet, I know a lot of people still haven't heard of it.  Magnet fishing is when you use a really strong magnet on a rope, and toss it into a body of water to see what you can Read more [...]

Minus33 sent me clothing for review. All opinions are my own. I have a condition called Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS), and 80% of people with EDS have a condition called POTS. I haven't officially been diagnosed with POTS but I have a lot of symptoms of it so I'm pretty sure that I'm in that 80% that overlaps.  One of the main symptoms I experience related to POTS is poor temperature regulation. My body just isn't good at keeping me comfortable. I often feel cold when other people think Read more [...]

I partnered with Wicked Uncle on this blog post. All opinions are my own. Wicked Uncle is a website that I first heard about a few years ago. I thought it was a neat business for two main reasons. One, it let's you search through toys by gender and/or age. This is really nice when you're shopping for a child's birthday or holiday present. Going to your niece's 5th birthday party? You can just look at all their suggestions for 5 year olds, or you can look specifically at suggestions for 5 year Read more [...]

Thanks to Cozy Earth for sending me these beautiful bedding items. As always, all opinions are my own. When it comes to bedding, having high-quality products is a must for me. This year I discovered Cozy Earth and their Bamboo Bedding and fell in love. At first we just had the sheet set and pillow cases, but now we've expanded our collection to include more, and I wanted to share them with you as I think they'd make great gift ideas this holiday season! Cozy Earth Bedding Cozy Earth offers luxury Read more [...]

Just recently I heard about Heirloom, a company that creates video books, and I'm so excited to share them with you!  Heirloom Video Books If you're looking for something that's Read more [...]

The PC Male sent me a gift set for inclusion in my holiday gift guide. All opinions are my own. The PC Male company is the male version of the PuffCuff company. The PC Male makes products for men with thick, curly or textured hair. Their products are aimed at those with curly, kinky or coily hair. The men in my life don't have curly hair, but my partner does keep a beard, and The Pc Male has beard items as well as haircare items. I was sent the Beard & Body Kit to feature in my gift guide.

Amminah sent me samples for my holiday gift guide. All opinions are my own. I think skincare sets can make a great gift...sometimes. Not always! It really depends on the specific items. In my opinion, what makes the difference in what skincare items make good gifts and which ones don't, is whether they're enjoyable to use, or more of just an essential item.  I wouldn't want to receive the same lotion that I buy at the grocery store as a holiday gift, personally. But a set that feels a Read more [...]
