REVIEW – Life is too short for bad coffee. Hotels are not known for good coffee. These two facts are the reason I try to travel with my own coffee gear when I’m on vacation. I don’t need fancy coffee, I just need coffee that doesn’t suck, and I need it before I emerge from

REVIEW – Quick! Name one thing that you really should do more often but don’t really want to! For me, the answer to that question is, “Floss my teeth.” I know it’s healthy, but I just don’t like to do it, and my oral hygienist is forever having to remind me to floss every day.

What almost everybody does not know is that there are tablets out there artists use that aren’t iPads at all. In fact, these tablets need to be hard-wired to a computer just to work. A company called XP-Pen makes
REVIEW – I am an insanely hot sleeper. No matter what I do I always wake up soaked in sweat in the middle of the night. Normally one would use a fan to keep cool but my husband is a cold sleeper and I can’t stand having a fan blow directly on me so I’ve

REVIEW – We have carpeted bedrooms in our home. Beyond that, all of the other flooring in the home is LVP (luxury vinyl plank) which is all the rage these days. What does that mean in terms of cleaning? It means that vacuuming simply isn’t enough. The floor needs to be wet-cleaned as well, and
