REVIEW – This year, I made a goal to be more adventurous. You know, we get one life to… well, you know the rest, no need to get gloomy. Because of this, I’ve made a concerted effort to review items that get me out more. I’ve become a permanent resident in the e-bike world. The […]

REVIEW – As the summer rolls on, I can’t think of anything I want to do less than break out the vacuum, kick up dust into my VERY air conditioned house, then mop?! Absolutely not. YEEDI M12 PRO+ Robot Vacuum and Mop has all the promise to keep my summer days lazy and my floors

REVIEW – The FIIDO C11 city e-bike is one of the latest entries from the company. It’s got a lot of neat features that make it worthy of consideration if one happens to be in the market for a zippy-er way to get around. We did run into some slight snags but with a little

REVIEW – We all remember our first big kid bikes. That first hour without the training wheels was a real doozy, but once you got the hang of it, I’m sure entire summers were spent on those wheels. A simple joy and a new taste of freedom! Now I’ll be the first to admit it’s

REVIEW – Did my secret stop on my commute home just get eliminated?! I understand that secrets are not the best policy in relationships, but if my partner was aware of how many times I’ve driven out of my way to get a Route 44-sized cherry limeade (IYKYK) after a really hard day in the

REVIEW – The robot floor cleaner market is expanding and we, as the human owners of those floors, benefit from the innovation expansion drives. My partner and I have owned several different brands and models of robot vacuum; only once did we ever have one of THOSE accidents… pet owners, if you know, you know.
REVIEW – Very recently my partner has shared with me the wonderful world of hiking. I have exactly zero shame in admitting that when choosing trails, he picks the ones that have the most opportunities where we can stop and “take in the scenery” (AKA Cat can remember how to breathe and not expire). What

REVIEW – I remember a time when having the carpets cleaned was an event. We were told to stay out of the house for the entirety of a Saturday and not to come back until it was dark. 12-year-old me was already on my bike by first light. Coming home was surreal; any moveable furniture

REVIEW – One of the most common things I’ve been hearing lately is that “sitting is killing us”. Yes, I am friends with some eccentric people, and no I do not think my couch is from another planet waiting to eat me. But in the time that “work from home” became a necessity, I’ve noticed

REVIEW – “A breath of fresh air”, might just be the complement of this decade. In these years of lockdowns, face masks, and Mother Nature’s grand vengeance of pollen, I think my air purifier has become my best friend. My current air purifying unit is HUGE; because of how it processes air for big spaces,

REVIEW – Time is a funny thing; I have memories of the middle school classroom and staring at whatever the teacher was showing on the overhead projector, which was a monstrous machine in both weight and noise. Cumbersome, they always occupied a cart with wheels created out of the desire to curb workman’s compensation cases,

REVIEW – When the two most famous physical therapists on the internet (in their opinion, of course) begin to make at-home help for everyday aches and pain I know I perk up. Approaching the north side of my mid-30’s, my body has begun lodging more serious complaints in the form of new aches and pains;

REVIEW – I don’t know about you, but the idea of mopping makes me feel like “ … crawling under the covers and eating a box of Velveeta”- Rose Nylund (RIP Betty White). In all seriousness, if I could vote one chore off my to-do list forever it would be mopping. It’s back-breaking, you have

REVIEW – Confession time. I generally like stock speakers. I know, I know. The treble usually sounds like a tinfoil thunderstorm and the bass doesn’t go low enough, or the crackle when one side of whatever speaker-equipped entertainment device you’re working with inevitably dies. (RIP driver-side rear speaker in my ’93 Thunderbird.) But I never thought

REVIEW – The ThermoWorks Thermapen ONE is a food thermometer and whether you’re a multi-Michelin star chef or a weekend grillmaster, food safety is paramount. I’ve been married to “Public Health” for the better part of a decade and I’m pretty sure the safe temperature for chicken was in our wedding vows ( 165 degrees Fahrenheit

REVIEW – It seems to me, between CleanTok and the hundreds of “Clean with me” youtube videos trending that we might be onto a bit of a cleaning revolution. What works best? What works fastest? Is it smart, or dumb? Is there a Lemon-y scent? It’s no wonder in the year after sanitizing almost became

REVIEW – Beyond temperature, the air in my home just sort of…exists. Dander and dust are a daily reality of owning a furry companion; with allergy season upon us, and having been in our “bubbles” for some time, it’s more important than ever to address the microscopic elephants in the room. Could the solution be
REVIEW – Our house water is so hard. How hard is it? Our house water is so hard, even Chuck Norris avoids it. Ok, so I don’t know Mr. Norris, but we have some of the hardest city water around. The limescale has left its mark on our shower doors, glasses, dishes, and even our

REVIEW– As they say it’s 5- o’clock somewhere! I am a huge fan of everyday items that have quality. I’m talking about your great grandmother’s cast iron skillet, your great grandfather’s turn of the century pocket watch, and quite possibly this Elevated Craft cocktail shaker. This gorgeous, stainless steel shaker is well constructed and

REVIEW – There’s no denying most people have been spending a lot of time at home recently, so when I do get a chance to venture out I hate playing 10 minutes of “Did I or didn’t I?” trying to remember if I locked the door. SECURAM Systems Inc. has released a smart deadbolt that
