I was sent a paint-by-number kit from Craft Ease. All opinions are my own. If you walk into a preschool and tell the kids that they're going to paint, almost all of them will be excited! Walk into a high school classroom, or a room full of adults and say the same thing, and you'll likely hear lots of "I can't paint..." comments.  Somewhere along the way, we forget that art doesn't require you to be an expert...that it's okay if it's just something you do for fun, rather than something Read more [...]

If you have a limited budget, you can even set your spending limit to $25 per item. Or, if you're okay with spending more, you can put that in your profile. I think the most expensive item I was ever sent was about $44. Many other clothing subscription Read more [...]

When I was presented with the opportunity, I really wasn't sure what my husband would think of them. In the 20+ years my husband and I had been together, I had never seen him use anything other than bar soap, cheap razors, and shampoo for grooming. I honestly had no idea if he Read more [...]
