Best School Supplies for College
When it comes to the best school supplies for college students in 2020, the list looks very different from when I went to college. For starters there weren’t any online classes let alone digital textbooks. In addition, we bought all of our textbooks–and then sold them back to the bookstore at the end of the…
Wantable Style Edit Review
Why did I decide to write this Wantable Style Edit Review? I’ll be honest. I had no intention of writing Wantable reviews–that was, until an ad for Wantable showed up in my Facebook feed. The ad talked about Stitch Fix customers loving Wantable. So I was curious. In this Wantable Style Review, I’ll explain how…

I decided to write this Simplisafe Review because it has now been almost two years since our family started using the Simplisafe system. Two years is enough time to let people know if Simplisafe is worth it or not, and to answer the question, “Does Simplisafe work?” Long answer short? Yes, and yes. Simplisafe review…
Is Peapod Worth It? Peapod Grocery Delivery Reviews
I’ve had to significantly update this blog post called Is Peapod worth it? Why? Because Peapod’s parent company is doing away with the Peapod brand. Instead, the supermarkets that had previously partnered with Peapod–Giant Food, Giant Direct, Stop and Shop and others–are taking over the delivery or pick up of your groceries. That means the…

32 Brands with Lifetime Warranties on Amazon
How did I land on the topic of 32 brands with lifetime warranties? Well, I’ve been writing for a long time about the long-term value of guarantees. I believe that when you spend your hard-earned money on something it should last. And if it doesn’t last, then the company should stand behind the product and…

Nordstrom Trunk Club Review Updated 2020
I’m writing this Nordstrom Trunk Club Review for two reasons.
