Air Cooler vs. Air Conditioning: Pros and Cons

December 30, 2022 By Lauren Leave a Comment

Summer is a few months away here in the Northeast, but the most important question that’s on everyone’s mind when summer approaches each year is whether they should invest in an air cooler or an air conditioner for their home.  This is a very important decision because your overall quality of life may be vastly different depending on which option you choose, especially if you live in a very hot region where you’ll need to use one of these options all day and night.  Knowing the pros and cons of each is the best way to figure out what will work best for your home and Continue reading...

Tesalate Beach Towel Review & Giveaway

September 12, 2022 By Lauren

Tesalate beach towel

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!

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...

Farmers Market Salad

August 1, 2022 By Lauren

I love this farmers market salad recipe

I live in Central New Jersey, which means that I have lots of wonderful farmers markets near me. I can drive just a few minutes away from my town in almost any direction and reach beautiful farmland. I love it! So recently, when I needed to come up with my family's Sunday night dinner, I decided to visit Lee's Turkey Farm, one of the local farmers markets within a few miles from my house, and pick up ingredients for a delicious salad filled with lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. I also got some spring salad greens, avocado and fresh rotisserie chicken from my local supermarket. My Continue reading...

How to Have Healthy, Gorgeous Hair During the Summer

July 13, 2022 By Lauren

Summer is here, heralding the start of a new season with warmer temperatures and longer daylight hours. You've heard that you should wash your hair every day to keep it looking fresh and clean, but who has the time to do so? Between work, school, and social obligations, everyone is usually late. It would be simpler to just leave it dirty and leave it that way.  But, according to Dr. G.K. Sharma, medical director at a world-class hair transplant center, this is bad for one’s hair. When you go more than a few days without washing your hair, the renowned hair transplant doctor warns, it Continue reading...

With the Coronavirus on the increase, it's unlikely that my family and I will be traveling for summer vacation. Even if my family doesn't go away this summer, there are ways to have fun -- even if it's just in our own backyard. I am hoping to have lots of summer backyard fun with my family! Roast Hot Dogs & S'Mores This weekend, we won't be going to a cookout with family and friends. But we might enjoy some time around our new fire pit.
