I’m not exactly proud to admit this, but I consider myself to be an out-of-sight, out-of-mind person when it comes to specific cleaning jobs. For example, the outside of my microwave is spick and span, because that is what is visible to the human eye most of the time; the inside, however, has seen better … More Procrastinate cleaning the inside of your microwave no longer
In mine and Blaine’s home, the only lights in existence are pot lights and maybe one lamp, if that. We opted for pot lights to save space, as opposed to installing ceiling fixtures, and because these pot lights are on separate switches throughout the majority of our home, they’re easy to control because we can … More Looking for a subtle night light? Look no further
Without sounding like a broken record, allow me to share that I recently came across yet another Buzzfeed article product winner, and I would like to share this product with all of you. I am in my 30s, and I still experience acne. It positively sucks, and while I’ve tried just about every bloody product … More Clogged pores? This product is a game-changer
While I still don’t know what exactly I’ve done to my knee in terms of injury, I have received some information over the past few days regarding what it is I am dealing with. Miraculously, nothing is torn in my knee, and I am so incredibly grateful for this. I did, apparently, rupture bursa sacs … More Knee pain? Read this
If you own a cat, or have at some point in your life, you’re arguably aware of the fact that some of them could play for hours on end and still wish to frolic more, whereas others are content to relax and not do a whole lot of moving. In our home, we have two … More Busy cat? Read this
I have conflicting feelings about artistic expression when it comes to me, personally. By no means do I consider myself an artistic person, and yet, I dabble in and enjoy writing and even a little bit of painting here and there. I can sew, although not well (my lines could rival those of a sewer … More Wanting to learn embroidery? Don’t buy this kit
In our home, we have a sort of parallel between our two cats. Lionel is a tuxedo cat, and this year he will turn 12, which is hard to believe; our other cat, Timmy, is orange through and through, and he is two. As much as Timmy enjoys Lionel’s company, I don’t believe Lionel feels … More Trying to occupy a busy cat? Get them this toy
If you read the word ‘croptuck’ and thought to yourself, ‘What in the fuck is that?‘, please don’t be alarmed, because I had the same reaction when I first stumbled across the term. I wasn’t sure if it was a sort of industrial tool or something along those lines, so when I discovered that a … More Baggy sweater? Try a croptuck
I have had a borderline obsession with hoodies since I was a child, and you can check with my mom if you don’t believe me. It got to a point that the closet in the office in my childhood home became the designated hoodie closet, and my mom would force me to go through them … More Drowning in sweaters? Get yourself a ‘Hoodie Hanger’
In yesterday’s post discussing earwax and what to do if you find yourself in the midst of a buildup, I mentioned that I recently purchased an earwax-cleaning device via Amazon. It arrived, and now that I’ve had a chance to test it out, I figured I would share my findings with all of you. The … More Do ear scope cleaners actually work?
While I don’t want to wrongly assume, I think that hair flyaways are an issue that is more relevant to women than they are to men. That is not to say that men can’t get frustrated with flyaway hairs surrounding their face, because I’m sure it’s happened to some poor bloke out there; generally speaking, … More Tired of unruly flyaways? Read this
When it comes to animals, most folks tend to associate ‘playing’ with dogs, but anyone out there who is the proud owner of a cat can attest to the fact that cats, much like dogs, enjoy playing. I suppose I would say that dogs perhaps tend to play more often than cats do in a … More Trying to entertain your cat? Read this
While I am unable to recall the exact age I was when I got my ears pierced, I think I was somewhere around the age of ten. My mom took me to Claire’s (lol) in our local mall to get the job done, and I had a piercing in each ear for many years. When … More Pierce your ears at home with this neat little tool
Now that I am, thankfully, fully back into the swing of reading on a daily basis, I’ve come to realize the struggle of trying to read, using minimal light, in an attempt to refrain from waking my husband up as he sleeps beside me. The man can sleep through just about anything, to be fair, … More Looking for a reading light? Look no further
Before anyone decides to judge me for dressing my dog in a onesie, please hear me out. If you read yesterday’s post, you will know that our dog, Lenny, was recently hit on the road by a trailer; the incident was entirely her fault, not to sound too harsh, but we are extremely fortunate and … More Looking for a dog onesie? Look no further
I believe I have mentioned before that I like to reference Buzzfeed articles from time to time in an attempt to keep up with what are, supposedly, unbelievably great products. I’ve managed to collect a few items over the years from these sorts of articles that have proven to be excellent purchases, hence why I … More If you like spice, you need this oil
I suppose I should initiate this post by explaining what Milia is, in case anyone is unfamiliar with the term. If you have not heard of Milia before, fair enough; this is perhaps a result of you having great skin and not encountering a tremendous amount of acne in your life. Milia is a form … More Read this if you have Milia around your eyes
I have come to realize that I am somewhat peculiar in terms of my snacking preferences. At least, I think so; in the evening, before I go to bed, I like to enjoy a wee snacky snack, and I look forward to it daily. However, the reason I say my snacking tendencies are a little … More Craving a snack that checks all the boxes? Read this
I occasionally find myself perusing through random Amazon items when I’m high, as reluctant as I am to admit it. I have absolutely no inclination as to why this is a thing, but when I’m high, I enjoy online shopping, and once or twice I may or may not have ordered items that are entirely … More Ceiling fan … filters?!
I realize the term fruit leather doesn’t exactly sound enticing, but please believe me when I proclaim it truly is. I will say that I would not recommend fruit leather to anyone who has weak teeth, because it is rather chewy, and furthermore, not to someone who doesn’t enjoy fruit. That would be a bit … More Fruit leather fan? Check this out
Water filters are important, sure, but up until recently, I can’t say I’ve devoted a tremendous amount of time to thinking about them and the benefits they offer. Since I was diagnosed with Lyme disease, however, the concept of water filtration and its importance has a lot more significance to me than it did, and … More Should you be using a water filter?
Remember when FitBit came out and it was all the rage? I know, it seems like eons ago. Regardless of the length of time that has passed since FitBits were still considered relevant, they very much were, at one point, and everyone and their mother had one, myself included. I enjoyed using it, and while … More Move over, Apple Watch
I’ve been sporting a pair of Vessi running shoes for a few years now, and I’ve enjoyed my time with them. I imagine they would still be going strong if our dog, Lenny, hadn’t selected them as her newest target in the chewing game, but alas, she did, and I found myself desperately needing some … More Need some new kicks?
