TaoTronics® Desk Lamps

TaoTronics® Elune Dimmable Eye-Care LED Desk Lamp has seven levels that is operated with a touch slide. The dimming feature in this lamp has memory function, so we can set to the level we prefer the most. The adjustable arm helps with directing light, and the LED does not have dark area or glaring. The lamp emits white light that is perfect for our eyes because it is not overwhelmingly bright.

Completion of Our #KitchenReno and Painting with Para Paints

I am glad we completed our mostly DIY #KitchenReno project. We fixed the vent, tiled the floor, transformed the cabinets with Rust-Oleum, organized the drawers in the kitchen with Rev-A-Shelf, installed the Delta Touch2O Technology Faucet, and chose quartz for the countertops. I chose the coin silver grey from Para paints for the kitchen wall, and two different shades of white for the ceiling and trims.

Win Your Own HotelSpa® Ultra-Luxury 7-setting LED Hand Shower


We love this Hotel Spa Ultra-Luxury 7-setting LED Hand Shower. There are seven luxurious settings. We can use it either as an Overhead or Handheld shower. I like the lightweight, extra-large 4.25" chrome face of this hand shower. The 7 Settings include Power Rain, Pulsating Massage, Hydrating Mist, Mist/Massage, Rain/Mist and Water-saving Economy Rain and Pause modes. There is also a 3-zone Precision SpiralFlo Dial with Rub-clean Jets and Click-action Lever.

Touch2O Technology in Our Kitchen

We trust Delta products and love the ease of installing their accessories, hand shower, and the Touch2O Technology faucet. Our experience with the fabulous Touch2O Technology in our bathroom geared us towards the same type of luxury in the kitchen when we were planning on our #KitchenReno. Once you get used to the features of the Touch2O Technology, I am sure you too will not be able to think of any other type of faucet.

Luxury Under The Canopy

I love how Under the Canopy embraces the planet with style. They offer a beautiful selection of bed and bath products that make a difference to human health, the environment, social justice, and future generations. All their products are certified organic cotton, and uses Low-impact dyes and RPET (recycled bottle) "EcoPure." Their products are made in the USA, and are GOTS and Fair Trade Certified. I have been using their bath products, and love how absorbent, soft and light the towels are even when it is wet. The kimono style soft robe instantly became my favourite because of how fabulous it feels and looks.

Using Rev-A-Shelf In Our Kitchen

We started our #KitchenReno during the holidays, and so far the tiles are placed, the vent is fixed, the cupboards are transformed. We are working on painting, replacing the countertops and the faucet. Since things can be put away with all the major jobs done, I can organize the cupboards. I used Rev-A-Shelf cut-to-size insert wooden organizers to keep my cutlery, knife and utensils organized. These products are available in Home Hardware stores such as Lowes.

TaoTronics® Products for Our Home and Lifestyle

I really enjoy having useful devices in my home, in the car and when we travel. There are many technology devices that make everyday activities convenient. This TaoTronics' Battery-Powered Motion-Sensing LED Stick-Anywhere Nightlight has become useful for us, as I have placed it in the entrance to our home, so I have a light source when I walk in. I like that the energy saving LED light is bright, and has a white light instead of a dull light.

TaoTronics® Products Our Vehicle and Travel

This Air Vent Mount Car Smartphone Holder from TaoTronics® is a good alternative to suction cup enabled car accessory holders. Having the phone “at our fingertips” attached to the car air vent is very useful. I like that it holds our phone securely without scratching it using two padded expandable arms. The way this holder is designed enables it to fits most phones with different charging inputs. Another advantage of this holder is that it can be turned 360 degrees making it easy to view your phone at a comfortable angle as well as to use larger screened phones in landscape mode.

Win Your Own Childproofing Coverplug


The Coverplug™ is a durable, molded, and paintable plastic panel that plugs right into an electrical socket to cover the entire outlet. I really like this innovative outlet cover, which is held securely in place by posts on the back that align with the ground openings and does not require tools for installation or removal. The specially designed plastic that is used can be easily paintable to match our wall color.

Designer Cure Pink Ribbon Mat

We can gift our doorway with style and heart, with a Welcome a Cure Pink Ribbon Mat, that helps raise money for Breast Cancer research. Carpet One has partnered with 12 interior design experts who have added their flare for color and home fashion to the mix of beautifully designed and durable indoor-outdoor mats.

Revolutionary Way To Clean Laundry

Everyone has to do laundry… and Crystal Wash is something that saves us money, and it is better for the environment. It has clinically demonstrated to be as effective as detergent and allows us to do 1,000 loads of laundry without using detergents, chemicals, dyes or perfumes. I am looking forward to using Crystal Wash, which sounds like an efficient and natural way to do laundry.

Our Cabinet Transformation Using Rust-Oleum

After transforming the cabinets with Rust-Oleum
We have used Rust-Oleum about three years ago to transform our front porch, and love the results. Due to our trust in their products my husband and I undertook a DIY project during the holidays using the Rust-Oleum Cabinet Transformation kit. Using this kit to transform the kitchen cupboards to our preferred colour is less costly compared to changing the entire cupboards or doing messy demolitions.

Paintings We Did Inspired by the Acrylic Painting Step by Step Book

Acrylic Painting Step by Step written by Wendy Jelbert, Carole Massey, and David Hyde is a book that inspires us to paint landscapes and flowers. The book gives lots of explantations about materials, techniques, compositions that we can use. This informative book will help those who enjoy painting and those who want to learn how to paint. My children and I did three paintings inspired by this book.

Knitting Needle Holder

I made this knitting needle holder to keep my knitting needles and other knitting tools organized, so I can easily find what I am looking for. This allows me to store all my knitting tools in one place without it taking up lots of space.

Importance of Changing Our Indoor Air Filter

There is more to keeping our home clean than cleaning the surfaces like counters and carpets. It is important that we make sure the air we breathe indoors is clean. Particles in the air can include pollen, plant and mold spores, lint, dust mite debris and more that can carry bacteria and viruses. Our everyday activities in the home such as dusting, vacuuming, and cooking can increase concentrations of these particles that are invisible to the naked eye, and it can linger in the air for a long time.

Win a Gift Card to Order Your Own StickerBrand Wall Decal

StickerBrand Wall Decal
It has been a year since I placed a beautiful StickerBrand Wall Decal in our basement living and entertainment room, which we really like. I like how StickerBrand Wall Decals make my space feel special and unique. In our living room on the main floor we have an area that I find difficult to make functional and attractive, so I thought of using a StickerBrand Wall Decal to make this space livelier and to create a focal point.

TaoTronics LED Multi-function Desk Lamp

My family and I have been using this LED Multifunction Desk Lamp from TaoTronics for a few days now, and I think this type of technology is something everyone will appreciate using on a regular basis. There are four lighting modes on this lamp: reading, studying, relaxing, and sleep time. We can also control five levels of brightness on this lamp by pressing the + or - button. There is also a 60 minute timer. This eco-friendly light provides a safe, comfortable, consistent light that stimulates concentration without eyestrain. I like that when we change the modes, it does not flicker so our eyes are not strained.
