I've been trying out the Black and Decker All-in-One bread machine lately and have been rather pleased with the results. I am able to bake my own bread quickly and easily, but I find that the timer function is a little difficult to understand (definitely need to dig into the manual). I have had to try my recipe with different setting to get a softer crust as well, since the crust on most of my experiments has been quite tough. Fresh out of the machine bread is great but it seems to toughen up rather quickly. This would not be a big deal if I was able to figure out the timer and have the bread hot and ready for when I want it. -

We recently purchased the Kirkland Organic Peanut Butter from Costco as we were trying to eat better/do better and thought we would try it instead of our normal Kraft purchase. The peanut butter is runnier than Kraft but does not seem to separate like other natural style peanut butters. The taste is very good but is not sweetened so keep that in mind for various recipes, etc. I've found it to be a great add-in for smoothies and it helps me feel a lot less guilty about my eating habits! -

A couple of years ago Sephora and Disney teamed up to make a beautiful Disney princess line. I was crushed when I missed out on the Cinderella compact mirror so my husband was sure to pick up the princess Jasmine compact for me as a gift. The mirrors are high quality with a definite collectible edge. The Ariel compact has just been added to their inventory and is on it's way to me now! The Cinderella and Ariel compacts are in a silver tone and the Jasmine mirror is in gold (fake coated). They are very elegant and detailed, making perfect gifts. -

I absolutely love my Macbook Air! It is the smaller 11" size which was just perfect for me and my husband as we took it travelling. It was very lightweight and hardy as it was in a pack as we bicycled for 3 months and in a backpack for another 3! We bought it refurbished from Apple for a great price and haven't regretted it since! -

I bought my iPhone 6 just before Christmas and have been very happy with it. The battery life has been phenomenal and the fit in my hand is very comfortable. I have had a hard time finding a case for it that I like locally as companies didn't really have a chance to make them before the phone was released, but my phone has no scratches yet and a case is on its way. It feels feather light and I also noticed that the Siri function for voice-to-text-messaging has sped up to real-time typing as well. Overall I am very satisfied with my purchase. I had thought about the iPhone 6 Plus but didn't go for it after holding the phone to my face a couple of times. The screen is much bigger but both me and my husband have iPad minis so we didn't really need our phone to function as a tv. -
