REVIEW – I finally got the pool I have always wanted two years ago. I knew a pool would require maintenance, and I am determined to maintain the pool myself. If you keep your water balanced and clean, I really don’t spend more than an hour a week maintaining it. I was smart and ensured […]

REVIEW – Growing up, I remember my Dad earning extra money by repairing TVs, stereos, and other electronic devices for extra money. I loved to watch him solder to repair the circuit boards. It never occurred to me back then that I could solder myself. It was just something Dad did. As an adult, I

REVIEW – Ever since I got to rent one of the electric two-wheeled scooters in downtown San Antonio, I have always wanted to have a scooter. It is so much fun to zip around on those things. In the past year or so, the amount of electric scooters that have shown up on the market

REVIEW – I think every review I have done lately has me mentioning how fricken fracking hot it has been in Texas lately. Heat is something you learn to live with, and personally, I prefer the heat over cold any day. You learn how to be smart in the heat and protect yourself from overheating.Â

REVIEW – Summer is officially here in South Texas, and for me and my family, that means BBQ! I am not talking about tossing some hamburgers on the grill or loading up your kettle grill with charcoal and grilling up a steak. I am talking about hours of slow-cooking a big chunk of meat into
REVIEW – I have had a robot vacuum in my house since 2018, when I reviewed the Deenkee I7 Robotic Vacuum Cleaner. Since then, robot vacuum cleaners have come a long way in being more efficient and offering other functions like mopping and vacuuming. In my ongoing effort to keep my house clean with as

REVIEW – I entered the world of electric cars last year in July when I purchased a Chevrolet Bolt. I went for the Bolt over a Tesla, mainly because of the significant price difference. I love the car; it has been a very enjoyable experience. 99.9% of my charging is done at home on a

REVIEW – My husband has accumulated many things he needs to bring in his everyday travels. Shorts or pants pockets can no longer hold what he needs on a daily basis. He has been looking for a good lightweight, small bag to carry his two wallets (yea, don’t get me started!), reading glasses, a large

REVIEW – I have mentioned before that one thing I enjoy doing is detailing my cars. You can be much more efficient and use less water when washing your car using a pressure washer.  A gas-powered pressure washer can do the trick, but then you have to worry about engine maintenance, making sure you do

REVIEW – I used to work from home full time. Now I work from home one day a week. My main computer setup for the work side of my desk has two 27-inch monitors. At work, I have the same setup. My personal laptop is a MacBook Pro 16 that I got this past Christmas.Â

REVIEW – I have always been fascinated by the cool crafting projects I have seen for sale at various farmer’s markets and artists’ shows in the area. I am talking about the kind of crafts where you see flat wooden ornaments with different names inside of them, etched tumblers, etched glass, and etched and cut

REVIEW – Starting in March, I had to return to my office four days a week. I had gotten used to being at home, where it was nice and quiet. I knew I wanted to bring my earbuds into work to use them for Microsoft Teams meetings and provide entertainment during lunch. The problem with

REVIEW – I have recently gotten into woodworking. I will often need a glue gun when trying to plane down a piece of wood that is not perfectly level on both sides.  Normally you would start with a tool called a ‘joiner’ that smooths out the bottom of an uneven board as it passes over

REVIEW – My office is lit by a cluster of three LED light bulbs mounted behind frosted glass in a ceiling fan. There is no way I would want to get rid of the ceiling fan, but the light it produces is not the best when I want to read or write on my desktop.Â

REVIEW – A few months back, I got to review my first electric bicycle, the Magicycle Jaguarundi.  It is a folding electric bicycle. I love the bike’s power, but it did feel a bit cramped when I hopped off the seat and stood between the seat and handlebars. Since then, I have wanted to review

REVIEW – I am a sunglass snob. I love high-quality sunglasses that fit well and do a great job protecting my eyes.  I also love wearing earbuds when I take walks and work in the yard. Lucyd and their Lyte smart eyewear promise to combine both into a single item. Let’s see how well they

REVIEW – The first thing I bought way back when I got my first job at 15 years old was a camera. I have always loved photography. I have over 1300 paper photos, 90% are mine, and the rest were taken by my or my husband’s parents.  About ten years ago, I had many of
REVIEW – Mmmmmmm smoked chicken! I love to make smoked meats on my pellet grill. A whole chicken was one of the first things I ever made on it. It is a cheaper piece of meat compared to brisket, so I figured if I messed it up, it would not cost me as much. The
