I feel like you can never have enough lights at Christmas time. I am a big fan of simple warm white lights it just makes the space feel cozy during this time of year. I love that I can use them inside or outside depending on where you want to use them. A few years ago we switched to only using LED lights and it makes such a difference they last so much longer. I love how these added that warm glow to our mantle. -

The machine is super easy to use, it has 4 settings, gelato, ice cream, sorbet and frozen yogurt. Keeps it simple simple for the user. The difficulty comes in making sure you have all the ingredients and making sure that you freeze the bowl at least 24 hours before you use it. So it is not difficult but more you need to plan in advance when you are going to make something. It is not a spur of the moment treat type thing. That being said when we followed the instructions the sorbet came out great! Next to try is ice cream and frozen yogurt.
I only put Maybe to buy simply because as a working mom with 2 busy kids on the go, I don't always have the time to make sure I have all the ingredients, a store run may be needed and have them prepped (like in the case of the sorbet you have to set it out to thaw and mix a few hours before you make the sorbet). It is definitely more of a weekend treat with some planning.

This is not my first lotion by L'Occitane as I have been using their products for quite a few years now. This is my first time however trying this type of lotion and this scent. After a week of using it every day I am obsessed not only with the smell but the way it makes my skin feel. I can be very scent sensitive but this one is not over powering and the scent in it does not dry out your skin. It hydrates your skin without leaving a residue which is a big win for me. I now need to get the shower products to try them out next!

I have always wanted to try one of these out! We buy a lot of our food at Costco and often freeze a portion of it and use the rest fresh. I usually just use normal freezer bags but I can never get the air out of it right and some times our food gets killed with freezer burn. I loved how quick and easy this was to use! No learning curve at all. In seconds our chicken was ready to go into the freezer. I can't wait to get more bags for more food prepping! The device is small and takes up no space in your kitchen.

I loved how simple this coffee maker was to set up. It was just a few steps to set the time, and program my morning brew. You could even program the strength which is great. It is a 14 cup pot maker which is awesome for when the family comes over. I love that it has a reusable filter too so less things I need to buy and throw out.
I really love the colour this coffee maker came in - as blue is my favourite colour. But with the more cool blue grey it is more of a mature colour for the kitchen.
Easy to set up. Easy to use. Lots of options for your personal use. And it looks great - not much more I could ask for.

As a husky owner we have LOTS of fur sprinkled throughout our house to test this vacuum on! I put it to the test on our outdoor couches that our dog spends most of her days on. We have 2 sectionals out there. I had it on the higher power because we just had so much fur. It did clean my couches very well! The only reason I gave it 4 stars is the battery did not last long enough to fully clean both sectionals. I had it on the higher power setting so it lasted less than the 25 minutes it says it lasts. If I had it on the lower setting it would have lasted longer. I was very happy with how my couch looked after. -

This serum is lightweight and great at hydrating your skin over night. There is no heavy smell which is nice and you wake up with hydrated skin. Generally I prefer a slightly thicker serum/cream - I have normal to dry skin. But this one worked fine.

My daughter has Eczema and she is very particular about the creams we use. She doesn't like the think creams that take long to absorb. This one absorbs nicely into her skin and therefore does not annoy her. It is gentle on her skin and it doesn't "Tingle" - her words. Some creams after we put them on don't feel good. With this cream she had no complaints after I put it on and she keeps asking for it over other Eczema creams we have. -
