Brew Up Your Favourite Beverage Any Time with a Keurig Brewing System from Staples

May 13, 2013 by Kathryn 4 Comments

I love coffee but since I’m the only one in the house that drinks it, I often find myself miscalculating how much I want and then wasting coffee as a result when I make a pot. I have a specialty coffee maker that’s great for creating individual lattes and cappuccinos, but what I really wanted was a way to make a single cup of good coffee so I could have one when I wanted without wasting.

Recently, Staples Canada came to my rescue by giving me the chance to review the Keurig Elite Single Serve Brewing System. This single-serve coffee maker brews a variety of tasty beverages ranging from coffee to tea to hot chocolate. I was excited to see how it compared to my other machines and I had it filled and ready to use within an hour of receiving it.

The Playtex Diaper Genie Elite is a Gift a New Mom Will Love-Giveaway

November 21, 2012 by Kathryn 98 Comments

When you’re shopping for a pregnant woman or a new mother, there’s one gift that is almost always happily received: the Playtex Diaper Genie! And now that amazing odour-locking device that is a staple in so many nurseries is even better! The new Diaper Genie Elite is the ultimate gift for a new mom with even more amazing features to make dealing with dirty diapers easy and mess-free!

I recently received a Playtex Diaper Genie Elite to check out and I was so excited to see how it worked. The system is the best selling diaper disposal system in Canada and has been a talked-about product ever since it hit the market. I was intrigued to see how the extra features might make an already useful product even handier.

The most noticeable difference between the Diaper Genie Elite and the original Diaper Genie Essentials is the size and the convenient foot pedal. The Elite version is taller so that a mother can drop in the dirty diaper without having to stoop down and features a convenient foot pedal for hands-free convenience. That little foot pedal may seem like a small thing but it’s so handy, as any mother that has ever had a dirty diaper in one hand and a baby in the other will agree! [Read more…]
