December 7, 2015 by Kathryn 11 Comments

One of the reasons I’m such a big fan of Master Lock is because the company is constantly innovating. From the Master Lock Vault, a secure online storage system for my most crucial digital information, to the dialSpeed Digital Padlock, a lock with a master combination I can access online if I forget my own, Master Lock makes it easy to keep all my most important things safe and secure.

Now, Master Lock has introduced its most advanced padlock yet…the new Master Lock Bluetooth Smart Padlocks! Opening a lock has never been easier thanks to Bluetooth technology. I recently received the 4400D padlock to review and I couldn’t wait to test it out.

New Eat Smart Plant Powered Protein Salad Kits Make a Perfect Energy-Packed Lunch

September 25, 2015 by Kathryn 66 Comments

I’m a nut for vegetables and because of that, I’ve loved the salads from Eat Smart for quite some time now. The convenient bagged kits include fresh greens, healthy superfoods, add-ins such as croutons, nuts or berries and a tasty dressing so that creating the perfect fresh and healthy side dish takes just seconds. Now, Eat Smart has taken lunch to a whole new level too with a new line of scrumptious salads packed with plant-based protein!

I was a vegetarian for over six years in my twenties, and while I did start eating meat again after having children, I still eat quite a lot of vegetables, legumes and other plant-based foods. At the same time, I also favour meals that are high in protein and low in simple carbohydrates. The new Eat Smart Plant Powered Protein salads looked like the perfect lunch choice for my dietary goals and I was thrilled when I got the chance to try them out myself. [Read more…]

Keep Your Home and Family Safe with NETGEAR Arlo Wire-Free Video Monitoring

March 24, 2015 by Kathryn 19 Comments

When my youngest was a toddler, I started using a video baby monitor and I couldn’t believe how much easier it made my life. The monitor synced to my smartphone so that I could check in on my sleeping youngster anytime. And it also provided me with a convenient way of keeping an eye on him when he was awake!

Now, one of my very favourite tech companies, NETGEAR, is taking the concept of video monitoring to new places with the Arlo Smart Home Security Camera, a completely wireless and portable video monitoring system perfect for everything from securing property to supervising children. Recently I received the NETGEAR Arlo VMS3230 System to test out and I couldn’t wait to get it hooked up.

I recently received the Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Smart Stages Vacuum so that I could see for myself what these toys were like.
