Easter is my favorite holiday and I like it for several reasons. The natures revives and the idea of resurrection is vividly seen everywhere.
I know that most of my friends prefer to dine out on holidays, and we did so until covid lockdown. It was the first time we spent most of the time at home and I loved it.
The tradition of making Christmas gingerbread houses is one of the most favorite in our family. My kids love decorating and making stuff...

Psyllium Husk is a popular dietary supplement these days, but I discovered it by chance. I ran across a nice gluten free bakery Karen's and their cupcakes were just delicious.

Every summer is all about going to the beach and swimming in the ocean, so KiwiCo couldn't miss the chance to design the box that would teach about marine creatures and ocean discovery
To tell the truth, I've always hated diets of all sorts. I hate to feel hungry and have to eat the food you don't like at all.

Camping is a great outdoor activity that lets children explore the wilderness and learn about the nature that surrounds us.

When planning a trip the first thing that you have to decide is where to stay. The most obvious choice is just book hotel accommodation in the city you plan to visit.
I broke down under my growing weight and finally signed up for WW (previously Weight Watchers) program. I have been thinking about taking this step for a very long time, but it took an open back surgery to do it.
I have recently embarked on WW journey and so far the only question I have is why did I wait so long? I have heard of WW (previously Weight Watchers) for a very long time, but I wanted to figure it all by myself - intense gym, Nutrisystem meals, long walks with the dog, juicing.
Let me start by saying that I used to be a gym rat for three years. I went to an intense boot camp 5 days per week every week and absolutely loved it.
I am fairly new to WW diet and still have to learn a thing or two, but after I filled out my initial profile upon signing up, I immediately understood that I am pretty heavy on dairy items.
I have been thinking about visiting WW studio in person ever since I decided to give this diet program a try. I have always been about a tribe of women supporting each other
I have a little bit of a love hate relationship with Costco. Sure, there is no better place for gas, engagement rings, toilet paper, and plastic plates, but do I always need the quantities of stuff I get there?
Publix has been my go to grocery store for years, I know people there and I know where my essential items are. This last time I went there, it felt a little different, and it's not only because fall is in the air.
While I'm new at WW, I am very seasoned at shopping California's farmers markets. I would consider it a sin to live where I do and not visit fresh produce sellers right by my neighborhood

Tinker crate is one of my son's favorite activities, besides being glued to his computer screen for hours.
Vitamix has quite a few blenders to choose from and all of them are very close to perfection. This is why it's usually not easy to decide which one to spend your money on.
I am one of these parents who struggle to keep their kids busy during summer. And it's my own fault because I didn't sign them up for any summer camps.
Vitamix blenders are workhorses that will blend anything and everything, but to keep them in tip top shape and to get the most use out of them...
Mother's Day is right around the corner and we bet some moms could really enjoy some break from cooking, especially after the year of pandemic, when extra cooking was unavoidable.
Having a pet can be very rewarding and downright necessary, especially during emotionally difficult times, like living through the pandemic - most of us have experienced it one way or another by now.

Over 70% of Americans admit to gaining at least some weight during the COVID-19 pandemic.

To say that Amazon is not wasting time this year would be an understatement. The e-commerce leader started Black Friday deals as soon as it wrapped up its later than usual Prime Day on October 13-14.

GlobeIn is one of my favorite boxes because it always has this artsy vibe.
There is hope that toilet paper shortage is not coming back, but many of us still take a look at those shelves sometimes, don't we?

Fall is here and that means that I will be doing more cooking than any other time of the year. I don't even know why that happens.
Chewy does it again with a very winter appropriate box.

Thanks to COVID-19, Amazon skipped its July Prime Day, so by the time it rolls in on October 13th - 14th, it's going to be big.

Chewy and Costco are as different as they come, and yet pet lovers shop at both. Comparing those two retailers is not easy, but possible on certain aspects. Pet food is what interests me today, so this will be my focus.
Meat lovers can always use more meat regardless of the season or the fact that we are all just surviving this miserable year. In fact, a juicy steak is the perfect deterrent of gloomy mood and can help us forget our various 2020 troubles.
I have been using Chewy for a few months now and have quite a few positive things to say about them. I think it's the best service for all pet owners who don't have any desire or need to go to physical pet stores.
What shall we give to each other when so many of us have every material possession we can possibly desire? Gift giving should be about something extraordinary.
Vitacost is a necessity for me at least once in two months, sometimes more often. When corona pandemic struck us in spring, I became a much more frequent shopper online for everything, including vitamins and supplements.
In the name of my love for every subscription boxes, I decided to see if there is a service for ordering spices. I am obsessed with spices. I buy them every time I travel somewhere, so when I come home from Europe every summer, at least 1/3 of my luggage is full of dried home grown herbs and spices from various organic stores.
I am a mother of two kids and I don't like cooking. I still cook every day and feed my family fresh and healthy meals, but if I could avoid cooking, I would. This stems from my childhood.
As soon as my calendar announces that it's September, I fly in all consuming fall mood. It might still be scorching hot outside here in the South, but for me it's all pumpkins, cinnamon, apple picking, baking, and planning for Thanksgiving.
What can I say after being one year on Nutrisystem? Was it life changing? - Yes! Was it harder than I thought? - Yes! Did I want to quit 50 times? - Yes! But most importantly, it was a year of learning and self-improvement, and that is priceless.
Can a diet inspire life? Not sure about that, but it can definitely change one. I feel like Nutrisystem meal plan changed many things for me. Mostly for the better. I can definitely say that I love myself and my life more than I did before.
Covid-19 pandemic changed a lot of things for all of us, that's for sure, but not all industries got affected the same way.

I like my vitamins delivered, period. Going to Whole Foods and spending an hour looking through all the shelves just to find what my family needs is too much trouble for me. Amazon is too expensive, so I stopped ordering from there.
Some people swear by Nutrisystem. Others hate it. And there are many reasons for both such feelings and for some in between opinions. I have tried Nutrisystem and also have some opinions.
Best of anything can be very subjective, I admit. I am not an expert, but I tried enough Nutrisystem meals to form an opinion about what I like and what I don't care for. So yes, this will be subjective, but I felt like I needed to share my favorite meals from Nutrisystem.
I live in Georgia for many years now, but I never fully appreciated it, until corona hit us and I saw how it handles the pandemic. Southerners are brave people, they took some steps to close and stayed closed for 2 months, but now the sun is out and we are out.
As we stay home and continue to survive under quarantine orders, a thought about another lunch of canned tuna can be more deadly than coronavirus itself. Can we order takeout food or fresh produce? Is it safe?
I have been hearing about Vitacost from a good friend of mine for a long time. She swears by it and spends hundreds of dollars there almost every month. She spends so much not because it's expensive, but because she buys an insane amount of vitamins, natural foods, organic household supplies, and pretty much everything she needs for her family.
