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 [...]

Gel Blasters sent me products for inclusion in my gift guide. All opinions are my own. Blaster toys are one of my go-to toys for kids, teens and even adults sometimes. I find that a lot of kids enjoy blasters through their teen years and even into adulthood. That makes me feel good about giving them as gifts to kids as they won't get outgrown as quickly as many other toys. I like giving them to teens because they're something that doesn't involve screen time that teens will really play with.  Gel Read more [...]
