Relax and Get Comfortable with Bohemian Pants Harem Pants and Shorts-Giveaway

February 29, 2016 by Kathryn 118 Comments

Working from home, I have a deep appreciation for comfortable clothes. In fact, I’ll sometimes stay in my pajamas for most of the day just because they’re so much more cozy than any of my daytime clothes. So I’m always on the hunt for new relaxed daytime outfits to add to my wardrobe. And recently I discovered the ultimate in comfortable, yet casually fashionable style: Bohemian Pants!

These trendy harem pants are available in a rainbow of colours and patterns that had me swooning as I browsed the site. I’m a sucker for unique prints and bright colours, so I had a hard time deciding which pair of pants was most “me.” While these pants are certainly not dressy, they’re undeniably fun and I thought they’d be especially good for lounging by the pool on a hot summer’s day.

Enjoy Sweet Dreams Risk-Free with a Novosbed Memory Foam Mattress

February 2, 2016 by Kathryn 34 Comments

Growing up in a household that didn’t have a lot of extra money, I was raised with the mentality that cheaper is always better. But as an adult, I realized that some purchases just shouldn’t be budget purchases. Shoes, skincare and, above all else, a comfortable mattress, are always worth spending a little more.

Luckily, getting a great night’s sleep doesn’t have to cost a fortune, as I learned when I had the chance to review the Novosbed mattress. I used a memory foam mattress for the first time about fifteen years ago and loved it for many years. When I moved in with my fiance, I switched to his traditional spring mattress with a pillow top. It was comfortable, but I missed the way the foam had perfectly contoured to my body. So when I had the chance to review the queen-sized Novosbed mattress with Medium firmness, I leaped at the chance.

Novosbed prides itself on offering the ultimate bed-in-a-box experience and seeing how compactly it’s packaged really is impressive. The mattress arrived at the door in a box that was heavy, but no higher than about three feet. My fiance and I carried it upstairs together without a problem and then opened the box and cut the plastic off the mattress. Immediately it started to expand and within about four hours, it was a full-sized plush mattress. I couldn’t wait to sleep on it that night and see how I liked it. [Read more…]

Let Your Child Learn to Rock, Ride, Balance and Pedal with the New Eight-in-One Leg&Go Balance Bicycle

June 22, 2015 by Kathryn 32 Comments

When my youngest son was a toddler, I learned about balance bikes for the first time. While I liked the concept, I have to admit that the idea of buying a bike with no pedals that would be used for just a year or so seemed like a bit of a waste. I couldn’t help but wish there was a more versatile option that would still help my young son learn to ride a two-wheel bike sooner.

Now, an innovative new company has made my dreams of the ultimate versatile balance bike come true with the launch of its Kickstarter campaign for the Leg&Go bicycle! Its eight-in-one design is suitable for children from eight months to six years of age and it is sure to be a huge hit with both kids and parents. [Read more…]

Treat Your Feet to Great Shoes from Yengo.ca-Giveaway

May 26, 2015 by Kathryn 189 Comments

If there’s one thing I’ve learned when it comes to purchases over the years, it’s that some items can be bought at a discount and others simply can’t. And if there’s one item that’s worth a splurge, it’s shoes. Most people don’t realize just how comfortable well-made shoes can be until they get a pair, but it’s a difference that’s immediately noticeable once it is tried.

That’s why I love Yengo.ca. This online boutique offers Canadians great deals on some of the top shoe brands that boast both style and comfort. Recently the company gave me the chance to review any pair of shoes on the website and with summer days here, I decided to surprise my boyfriend with the Vionic Conner Sneaker in black.

Add Convenience To Your Kitchen with the Luma Comfort IM200SS Stainless Steel Clear Ice Maker-Giveaway

February 15, 2014 by Kathryn 366 Comments

There are some small appliances that I’ve considered adding to my home in the past, but decided against. Usually I just feel like the appliance won’t provide enough benefit to offset the space the device would take up, since my kitchen is quite small. But every once in a while I discover a new kitchen accessory that becomes an essential in my home so quickly that I wonder how I ever lived without it.

That’s what happened when Luma Comfort sent me its IM200SS Stainless Steel Portable Clear Ice Maker. I’ve always thought ice makers were such neat appliances, but buying one seemed like a needless expense when I can make ice in a tray in the deep freeze. Boy, was I wrong! I cannot believe how handy it is to have this compact little countertop appliance in my home and I would never want to be without one again. [Read more…]
