ARTICLE – I’ve kept a journal/diary since I was a little kid. I wanted to be Harriet the Spy so badly that some of my entries were in code. It also helped keep my nosy younger sister from reading my top secret entries. Ha! As an adult, I continued to keep journals because I enjoy

REVIEW – Here I go again. Everyone already knows that I am an Ecoholic, so expressing my joy and anticipation as I get to review another EcoFlow power station would be repetitive.

REVIEW – As soon as Apple released the Mac mini M4, I ordered the Pro version. It’s an insanely powerful computer that should last me for years. Although it has a pair of USB-C ports on the front and three Thunderbolt 4 ports on the back, I need more ports. I’ve been using CableTime’s 10-in-1

REVIEW – In 2022, I reviewed the Ocoopa 10,000mAh hand warmer, and I fell in love with hand warmers! It was a wonderful gadget that I still use today when the weather turns cold. It even doubled as a power bank to charge my cellphone if I wanted. But it was rather large in the

REVIEW – I have a 56V leaf blower that’s been working great for a few years but the battery is starting to go and replacement battery prices made me do a double take. I was contemplating what to do when BLUETTI asked me to review their new AC180P 1,440Wh portable power station and I got
