This is a sponsored review. All opinions are my own. All of my work is online so others who do similar work may opt to do everything digitally. For me, there's just something more satisfying about keeping my work organized on paper. I keep a paper planner, and make written to-do lists. I often just prefer putting pen to paper rather than keeping digital word documents, I guess. It's so satisfying to physically cross off your to-do list, too! Anyway, I like to keep notebooks and other stationery Read more [...]

Thank you to Warmies for providing me with products to facilitate my blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. Summer camp is usually a fun adventure that kids look forward to each year. They love the excitement of trying new things, meeting new people, and learning new skills. Some kids; however, may feel a bit of anxiety when it comes to camp. Perhaps it is their first time being away from mom and dad or perhaps they feel some nervousness about visiting a new place and/or meeting new people. Read more [...]

Thanks to Trifo for sending me the Lucy Ultra Robot Vacuum. As always, all opinions are my own. If you've been following the blog, you have probably read about Trifo Robot Vacuums!

Emily Reviews writers were sent products in exchange for being included in our back to school gift guide. There are affiliate links in this post. All opinions are our own. While back to school shopping often is focused more on school supplies, I thought Juggling the Issues: Living With Asperger's Syndrome was a book that made sense to include in this gift guide. For kids on the spectrum or with any diagnosis or sympoms that leave them feeling "different", it may be reassuring to read Read more [...]

Thank you to Bonnie & Pop for sending product for review in exchange for my honest opinion.  It's almost August - how is that possible? Summer always seems to fly by so quickly! We just got home from our yearly vacation at a cabin up north with my husband's whole family. His mom is a great cook & baker. I always like to bring a treat along to share, but always have a hard time deciding what to bring (because she's so talented it's hard to beat her home-made treats)! This year though, Read more [...]

Several years ago I rented a duplex that only had an upright shower. My boyfriend and I both had a hard time with the limited space available for holding our shampoo, conditioner, and body washes among other items. We tried a few different shower storage products. They were supposed to give you extra shelves to set your products on within the shower. 

None Read more [...]

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

Over the past years I've become somewhat obsessed with skincare. Before my thirties I never really gave it a thought and was lucky to have generally good skin aside from my teens. I've realized though, that in my 30's, I'm more prone to hormonal breakouts, dark spots, uneven skin tone, and even texture. Luckily, there are some great products from Skin Essentials that are non-toxic and help with all of Read more [...]
