. I try to be eco-friendly as possible. For instance, I try to wear mostly natural fabrics, and my daughters and I like to thrift, too. So I was happy to give WAMA underwear, a sustainable clothing brand, a try. WAMA offers comfortable underwear made with all-natural hemp and cotton. Hemp is a sustainable fabric because it takes less water to cultivate. WAMA's aim is to make the best hemp underwear in the world—they chose to use hemp largely because of its sustainability, but also because hemp has antibacterial qualities and gets softer every time it's washed. WAMA's hemp is Continue reading...
Comfy Whisper by Therapedic Cooling Foam Cluster Pillows Review
Thanks to Therapedic for sponsoring this post. I received free product in exchange for my review. For me, nothing is as luxurious and comfortable as settling into bed at night with crisp, clean sheets and big fluffy pillows. So I was happy when my husband and I added new oversized Whisper by Therapedic Cooling Foam Cluster Pillows, available at BigLots, to our bed recently. Amazingly, the pillows sell for less than $20 each—they feel like they should cost a lot more. New Therapedic Pillows I used to love snuggling under LOTS of blankets at night, but lately I often find myself more Continue reading...
X-Sense XS01-WT Smart Smoke Detector Review
Thanks to X-Sense for sponsoring this review—I received an X-sense smoke detector in exchange for my honest opinion. There are Amazon Associates links in this post. If you click on a link, I may earn a small commission that may help fund this blog. Thanks! I have had two frightening experiences in my home in the nearly 20 years I've lived here. Once when I was cooking on our gas range, a flame somehow kicked up from the pan and flared up toward the microwave oven above, and once when I had just gotten a new convection toaster oven, there was a scary toaster oven fire when a taco shell Continue reading...
My Fall 2022 Stitch Fix Box
Happy November, everyone! I can't believe how quickly the months are flying by! It's been just over a year that I've been in my new job as a remote content writer for a Philadelphia-area media company, and I felt that I could use some new work-from-home clothes. I also broke my ankle a few months ago, and sadly, while I recuperated, I put on some pounds. I am still working on getting my ankle back to 100%. I need to work on getting back into shape, but until then, I also need some new duds! So, I definitely need some new clothing. I wanted the clothing to be comfortable, look good on Zoom Continue reading...
Tesalate Beach Towel Review & Giveaway
Thanks to Tesalate for sponsoring this post. The summer beach season is officially over here in New Jersey, but for me, it's just beginning! That's because after Labor Day, my favorite New Jersey beach towns lift their dog restrictions, and I can bring my pup on the beach and the boardwalk! So I was excited when I was given the opportunity to review a Tesalate beach towel—it will come in handy for our beach excursions! My towel also works great for weekend picnics. Tesalate towels are lightweight and are designed to stay sand-free and dry in half the time of a regular beach towel. Plus, Continue reading...
Custom Tees with HTVRONT Vinyl
Thanks to HTVRONT for providing the vinyl and heat press used in this post. This post contains Amazon affiliate links. This past weekend my husband and I visited one of our twins at Bryn Mawr College. Bryn Mawr is also my alma mater, so it's always extra nice to visit my child at college. May Day is coming up at Bryn Mawr, so I decided to make my kid a custom Bryn Mawr May Day shirt. (The tradition is for Bryn Mawr students to wear white on May Day, so I wanted to make sure that my Mawrter has something to wear for their first May Day!) Easy to Use Heat Transfer Vinyl HTVRONT sent Continue reading...
Lokithor Emergency All-Around Tool Review
Thanks to Lokithor for providing me with the product reviewed in this post. This post contains Amazon affiliate links. Since our twins started college in the fall, my husband and I have been driving back and forth visiting them and picking them up for breaks and driving them back again. We live in New Jersey, and my husband says that he's put as much mileage on his car from these trips that it would take to drive from our home to the West Coast! That's a lot of driving. I haven't been able to accompany my husband on all the trips. I worry about him driving alone, especially to Continue reading...
Planting Shrubs and Trees This Fall
Thanks to PlantingTree.com for sponsoring this post. I've always wanted a hydrangea plant. So when PlantingTree.com asked me if I would like to partner with them, I happily agreed. PlantingTree.com can send trees, shrubs and other plants like ornamental grasses right to your door. Ordering a Hyndrangea Plant in the Mail I decided to order an endless summer hydrangea plant. Once I ordered my hydrangea plant, it only took it 3 days to get to my door. My 1-gallon hydrangea ($59.95) arrived on my doorstep in perfect condition with big, beautiful green leaves. With Planting Continue reading...

Thanks to NewAir for providing me with the beverage fridge reviewed in this post. #newairanniversary #newairusa My daughter started her first year of college at Smith College in August.

She is excited! 100 Can Beverage Fridge The NewAir 20th Continue reading...
Feathering an Empty Nest
Thanks to Therapedic for providing the products reviewed in this post. All opinions expressed in this post are 100% my own. #Therapedic #RoomRefresh #HomeRefresh My twin teens both started their first year of college at the end of August. (One is at Smith College, and another is at Bryn Mawr College.) It's an exciting time for them, but a hard time for their mom! I miss my kids. I've always been close with my teens. They went to high school remote for half of their high school junior year and all of their senior year, so we spent even more time together. It's been an adjustment for me now Continue reading...
