    Upgrade your kitchen with one appliance

    #ad Affiliate links provided but opinions are all my own

    Have you been wanting to upgrade your kitchen but don’t know where to start? Most people start with a budget. How much do you want to spend and how much time to do you want to spend with this project. You can go all out with new cabinets, counter tops and appliances or stay small and just change out a few things instead of everything. I started with some larger changes this summer with new counter tops. I needed a freshened up look and had been wanting to change them for some time. They were original solid surface white tops and they needed a facelift. We switched out the counter tops to a gorgeous quartz with gray stripes going through it and main color of white.

    After this expensive touch up to the kitchen we decided on adding a bit more updates with some easy accessories. Along with adding some new decorative touches we added one of our favorite new items, a toaster. Yes this might not seem like a huge upgrade but wait till you see. Besides being super modern and sleek Revolution cooking Toaster adds multiple uses in the kitchen. Besides being able to toast your bread, you can let it know if it is fresh or frozen. How much you want it toasted. What kind of pastry you are using besides toast and other options.

    We also got the panini maker as part of the toaster in which you can make your own grilled cheese right in the toaster. Some versions let you chose the panini as part of the options while other toasters you can chose just the toast option and add your sandwich inside to cook. I used just regular bread with some butter on the outside, some regular sliced cheese and some cheddar for my sandwich. It turned out perfect.

    We also made some toaster strudels right away and some avocado toast, my favorite. The toaster is so easy to use. From choosing your bread to adding the amount of toasting you want to fresh or frozen. We had so much fun making our different deserts and trying out some new sandwiches. Lots of fun and a simple way to make a major upgrade to your kitchen appliances.

    We made a cute video to share how easy it is to work

    This toaster is on sale right now plus an additional coupon for the holidays. You can also bundle up the warming tray and panini maker for a discounted price.

    Thermajanes- keeping you cozy during the holiday season

    #ad Affiliate links provided that I do receive a commission on, all options are my own.

    I am normally a very cold person. I like to be bundled up all day with my space heater on blowing full blast. Socks are a requirement at my house, not just because of the floor but because I am cold. There is a big furry blanket wrapped around me every night keeping me warm. This gets carried on by my snugly outfits. I have cozy socks, pjs and now the best long underwear, Thermajanes. From the tons of colors and large range of sizes you can find ones that fit you perfectly and keep you warm day and night. I personally have 3 colors, pink, burgundy and black.

    Wearing these around the house just makes it more comfortable for everyone. Besides being so soft and comfy they are adorable and look great by themselves but can easily go with other items. You could pair the leggings underneath jeans or slacks to keep you cozy. The top can easily be paired with jeans or a cute shacket if you want to keep it casual but still stay warm. Would be a great item to gift or keep and pair with your favorite sports team to match.

    These are so cute and comfy you will want them for the entire family and in multiple colors. Thermajanes would also be super cute for your family matching pj photos. From the large range of products they have something for everyone.

    Thermajanes linked here. I am in a small in the burgundy color – I am 5’2″ tall and around 135lbs for sizing reference. I think these fit me perfectly. If you would want a looser fit I would size up one size. They are slick on the outside so you could easily put them under other clothing items. I think these would make a great gift for any friend or relative.

    How to brighten up the outside of your house

    As an amazon associate I earn a commission on my links. #ad

    Have you been wanting to brighten up the outside of my house but I have no idea where to start? Wiring lights can be so expensive and who wants to spend the time and money on that when you have lots of different options to chose from. To find the least expensive option you will want to turn to solar powered lighting. You can add multiple lights to brighten up any area and also adjust them along the way.

    The ones that I really liked using to add some light to our trees were the Vont LED Outdoor Solar Light 2 pack

    They are waterproof, have two different settings for low and high

    They have 16 LED lights in order to cover your area with plenty of light

    Lifetime warranty

    They are able to be mounted in the ground or on the wall, come with hardware for both options

    Setting up the lighting for on the trees at night

    How it looked at night with the lights on the trees

    This is a great way on how to brighten up the outside of your house. They added so much light to the area and made everything so bright. Love how they cast just enough light to really show off the trees. The Vont Lights are adjustable to move the angle of the light to where you want it to show. Such a beautiful display now that I have these amazing lights to brighten this up. I did use two sets of lights so a total of 2 packages. You could easily use one package to brighten up many different areas of your home. These would also be great to show off your address and sidewalks.
