Decodables Game
I put this on our coffee table for the holidays and our family had a lot of fun playing together! It’s a great game to play casually - we just pulled out cards and guessed without keeping score or anything. Everyone enjoyed it!

New addition to my medicine cupboard! The flu hit me hard this year and Sambucol was so helpful in keeping me hydrated and helping my body fight the virus. As a bonus, it actually tastes good! I find I prefer it extra cold, with ice and diluted - it is a strong flavour otherwise (kind of like cranberry juice). I’m definitely keeping some on hand for the next time I’m feeling sick.

This hand blender helped me make my smoothest EVER butternut squash soup - I'm obsessed. I can't wait to try new fall soup recipes with this! I love how quiet the motor is and that it comes with so many attachments. You can tell that it's high quality. Also, multi-use kitchen items are a must for me to help maximize my space, and this delivers 100%.
I also used the whisk attachment to make an AMAZING dutch baby pancake! The froth was next level, so my pancake came out of the oven exceptionally fluffy. I'm loving the versatility of this blender!!!

I always like to bring a game or two whenever I go to a house party - Tag Someone Who did not disappoint! It was super easy to play with a big group and we had lots of laughs - if you have a good group of people, this game is awesome.
I think it would be harder to play with people you don't know super well, but could still be fun. I just prefer playing with my BFFs because we're always tagging each other in memes anyways!

I’ve been using the same dull chefs knife for years, so I was thrilled to finally upgrade! The chic white with beautiful acacia wood stood out to me right away - if something is going to take up counterspace, I want it to look nice. The wood is even nicer in person, and really elevates my kitchen.
I am loving the lifetime warranty - I cook often, so I need durability. So far, these have kept a super fine edge (I actually have to be extra careful now as I was used to such a dull knife!).
My only desire would be for them to be dishwasher safe for the sake of convenience, but high quality knives like this are worth the extra 30 seconds of washing up. Highly recommend!

My post-summer glow is UNREAL ever since I started using this serum! I love any skincare product that is multi-functional, so a triple dose formula appealed to me right away. I noticed effects after one application - mainly I had a more consistent glow and more vibrant complexion.
I wish it said on the product that it takes a few minutes to fully absorb... I learned this the hard way by applying foundation too soon after, and my skin looked too shiny and felt "tacky"/sticky. The next time I just waited until I couldn't feel any residue with my finger, and it was perfect!
This is super spreadable without being watery (my fav texture) and has a light lychee-like scent. If you're scent sensitive I would stay away, but if you like the aromatherapy, it's really nice.
I will most likely purchase this again. The only thing holding me back is that for the price point, I prefer a glass bottle instead of plastic, but I love the serum itself.

I wear spot patches virtually every night and I've tried a LOT of different brands. These ones are the real deal - they stay on all night despite me sleeping on my face and actually absorb oil instead of just sitting on top of it. I have very oily skin and these can handle a lot - I actually see the oil-free circle surrounded by the rest of my "normal" skin when I wake up and remove the patch, which is impressive.
I also tried this on a scar after popping one (I know I shouldn't but couldn't help it!), and it helped fade the scar WAY faster than normal.
A few things to note - they are definitely for overnight. They would be noticeable in public. They also are just the patch, with no actives. If you have sensitive skin, perfect, but lately I've preferred patches with built-in ingredients like salicylic acid or tea tree oil. If PanOxyl made some patches with active ingredients, that would be my dream! I'll still be using them for scarring though.

I've always bought the cheap teflon/chemical coated pans that just fall apart after a few months - so annoying. I LOVE my new stainless steel pan! It's Paderno so I'm living for the lifetime warranty - and it feels very luxe. It's solid, and big, but balanced, and makes a MEAN crispy edged fried egg (my fav). This is now my go-to pan for frying, sauteeing, searing, and pretty much whatever else (it's even oven safe). I love that it's dishwasher safe so I don't think twice about using it (I hate doing dishes by hand).
Yes, it's a bit of an adjustment to get the heating right, but once I figured it out it's virtually non-stick without any chemical coating. I'm very happy and would highly recommend to anyone looking to upgrade their kitchen equipment, especially if you use your frying pan for virtually everything (like I do!).
