Targus sent me a portable laptop stand for review. All opinions are my own. I'm almost two years into my 30's and I'm starting to feel subtle signs in my body that I'm not as young as I used to be! I've been blogging my entire adult life, and I used to be able to work from anywhere in my house without a problem. Now I find that if I use my laptop from the couch for too long, or even from some tables, that I end up with neck pain or back pain. In an attempt to take better care of my body, given Read more [...]

LotFancy sent me product for review and inclusion in my blog. There are affiliate links in this post. All opinions are my own. Just before Christmas, I had the chance to start a new partnership with LotFancy. I had some art related gifts prepared for one of my niece, but they were all small items. I felt like I needed something additional to complete the gift. So, I was happy to accept the LotFancy Canvas boards for painting set. When combined with some other art supplies, it made for a nice Read more [...]

All opinions are my own. There are affiliate links within this review.  In November I got some very scary health news. Because of this, I chose to start a completely new diet. Before, I was eating the 'conventional' American diet. Tons of sugar. Lots of salt. White bread, white flour. Too much red meat. Not enough veggies & fruit. A pop a day and alcohol here and there. Not so good. Sound familiar?  The basics of my new diet include whole grains, organic veggies and fruit, organic Read more [...]

Thanks to NESCO for sending me this dehydrator. As always, all opinions are my own.

Growing up in a hunting family, I have a fair amount of experience making jerky in a dehydrator. That said, when I started researching a dehydrator for my own family, I was amazed by all of the enhancements that have been made to the product compared to the one my parents have from the eighties! NESCO offers a large variety of dehydrators and I chose the 7-Tray Stainless Steel Digital Dehydrator for our needs. Read more [...]

Thanks to Stanley for sending me these amazing products. As always, all opinions are my own.

Valentines Day is almost here! My husband and I have been married for 12 years now and while we've tossed around the idea of skipping gifts for commercialized holidays, we both still like to give and receive too much to do that. That said, rather than the expensive flowers and chocolates we used to buy, we tend to look for more practical things, or things that are "fun" to the other person that they wouldn't Read more [...]

Luxear sent me fruit and veggie storage containers for review. All opinions are my own.

We all know that eating fresh fruits and veggies is great for our health. There can be a lot of things that can get in the way of ensuring that you consume them often enough, though. 

For me, and I suspect for many others - one thing that sometimes gets in the way is the food going bad before we get around to eating it. With it just being two of us in my household, we don't go through food very quickly Read more [...]
