WantDo sent me boots for review. All opinions are my own. There are affiliate links in this post. Waterproof boots are a must-have, in my view. It's just no good going through winter with regular shoes that will get wet if you walk through snow or even rainy grass.  While I really appreciate waterproof boots, I don't love how most waterproof winter boots are really bulky. I just don't think they look or feel very nice when boots are big or heavy. I was excited to see that Wantdo makes Read more [...]

Meriwool sent me products for review. All opinions are my own. There are affiliate links in this post. It's in the lower 20 here today. On my walk this afternoon, I was already feeling quite cold for the first few roads, but then when I turned to come around the block, suddenly the wind was right in my face. I speed-walked to the next corner because my face hurt so much from the bitter wind!  It may not officially be winter for another couple of days, but it's definitely winter weather Read more [...]

Thanks to Mullybox for sending me this box! As always, all opinions are my own. My dad is in his fifties but just really got into golfing this past year.

Check out this great subscription service for the golfers in your life! Mullybox - Golf Subscription Box With Mullybox, you sign up for a quarterly box with Read more [...]

Logia sent me a 7-in-1 weather station for inclusion in my gift guide. There are affiliate links in this post. All opinions are my own.  When I first was planning to include this Logia 7-in-1 wireless weather station in my gift guide, I thought I'd suggest it for people who are really interested in the weather. My dad used to enjoy checking the weather station multiple times a day, and I've known others who just take to watching the weather predictions as a bit of a hobby, too. This Logia Read more [...]

This post is sponsored by FLOMO USA. All opinions are my own. I became aware of the FLOMO brand less than a year ago, but I've tried a variety of their products and have been happy with everything I have tried so far.  FLOMO has school and office supplies such as journals and pens, plus party supplies, art supplies, teacher supplies and more. With us being in the midst of the holiday season, I thought I'd share a combination of gift suggestions and gift wrapping products.  First, Read more [...]

Edifier sent me headphones for inclusion in my holiday gift guide. All opinions are my own.  For most of my life, I've been an earbuds kinda person. I used over-ear headphones when I was around 10 and using a portable CD player. They were really tiny, with little sponge-like covers over the speakers that sat on your ears. Not at all like most modern over-ear headphones, so I'm not sure why I waited so long to retry regular headphones.  Last year, that changed! I had a company sent Read more [...]

Thanks to deuter for sending me this travel backpack! As always, all opinions are my own. My husband is one of the hardest people to shop for, but this year I think I've come up with some pretty great ideas for him. We like to travel out of state (usually to Florida!) at least once a year and he's the designated backpack carrier when we're at theme parks and while hiking. One of the gifts I picked out for him is a brand new deuter Travel Backpack!  deuter AViANT Access 38 Travel Backpack Since Read more [...]

Thanks to Shutterfly for sending me these incredible custom gifts! As always, all opinions are my own. Shutterfly has been my go-to photo printing company for years, and I've also purchased my fair share of customized photo gifts from them. They have a huge variety of custom gift options and I've loved everything I've gotten over the years. They also have some of the very best customer service! I've partnered with Shutterfly to share some of the gifts I chose this year.  Shutterfly Custom Read more [...]

Jessicurl sent me products for inclusion in my holiday gift guide. All opinions are my own. Most of you know that I started the curly girl method almost five years ago now. I discovered that my hair wasn't frizzy, poofy and unruly straight hair, it was wavy! I just didn't know how to take care of it. Once I started getting it figured out, I became really passionate about wavy hair care and created my blog WavyHairCare.com to help teach others about it.  Early on in my curly girl method Read more [...]

Thanks to Fujifilm for sending me this amazing assortment of products. As always, all opinions are my own. I got my very first camera when I was eight years old. It was a Fujifilm film camera and I was so excited to take photos and get them developed at our local Walmart each week. Photography has changed SO much since then (I mean, it has been 25 years...), but recently instantly printed photos have made a huge comeback! I've partnered with Fujifilm to share some of my favorite products from Read more [...]
