Last week, Elite Sports sent me one of their Medium Duffel Bag (in pink!) to try out. Elite Sports carries a wide range gear for MMA, karate, and other sports. My daughter is a Brown belt in karate and she also does kickboxing, so she was super excited to get a new bag to lug all of her stuff around in. And trust me, for a 9 year old she has a lot of gear. This bag is super lightweight and very well made with breathable mesh. There are several pockets on the side and openings on the ends to … [Read more...]

November 26, 2018 by Leave a Comment
Several weeks back, I was sent an electric epilator by Finishing Touch to try out and review. This laser epilator is rechargeable and has two different razor heads that can be used. I have been on the hunt for a good, affordable electric razor for some time now. First of all, when I first saw this it was billed as a ‘laser razor’. I took that to mean that it was one of those that helped stop the hard from growing eventually. However, all this razor has is a light that detects when the razor … [Read more...]

There can be a lot of pressure around the holidays to find everyone the perfect gift without breaking the bank. While we are constantly bombarded with extravagant ideas for Christmas presents for our friends and loved ones, this push to buy more and more can end up overshadowing the real meaning of the holidays. Instead of focusing on the time we get to spend with our loved ones, on unwinding and appreciating what we have, we are left feeling like we need to strive even further to show our loved … [Read more...]

Movie Review – Solo: A Star Wars Story
September 27, 2018 by Leave a Comment
Solo: A Star Wars Story follows the journey of a young Han Solo as he begins to be a smuggler. Along the way he meets Chewbacca and Lando Calrissian, and flies the Millennium Falcon for the first time. It’s a story of adventure, love, and betrayal. There was a lot of hate for this movie, and I honestly don’t see why. It was a decent film. Granted, it wasn’t on the level of Rogue One…and backstory for Han really wasn’t needed. But it still didn’t deserve the amount of negativity it received. … [Read more...]

Product Review – Cave Tools BBQ Grill Pan
August 15, 2018 by Leave a Comment
A few weeks back, I was asked to try out Cave Tool’s new BBQ grill pan. This flat pan has two sections: one that’s solid and one that has slats for grill marks. It’s made of durable stainless steel and measures 15.3 by 13 inches. We recently bought a new charcoal grill after our gas grill finally wore out (replacement parts cost more than a brand new grill!). This pan is large enough to cover a good portion of the grill rack, and is excellent. So far we have cooked steaks, fish, burgers, and … [Read more...]
