Make Life a Little Simpler this Holiday Season with Simple Human

When it comes to this time of year, I look forward to the baking and the get togethers we take part in with friends and family. For me, this means a lot of time in the kitchen, and a lot of messes that I will be making. As I am baking, I like to try to clean as I go, throwing out things along the way, but as I am in the kitchen, my hands are usually covered in food. This is something that can get quite messy, and if it gets on the trash can as I am cooking, it can create issues.

I try to keep from the spreading of germs and bacteria, but if I touch the trash can when I am cooking, I can not only risk picking up unwanted germs but I can also add more that I do not want my family coming in contact with. So this year, to help with keeping those germs and bacteria to a minimum when it comes to the trash can, and to also help keep life during the holidays or any time of year a little more simpler, I was sent the 45L Slim Step Can from Simple Human to review!

I like that regardless of what goes in the trash, we can avoid having to touch it with our hands, by just using the steel pedal. I also like that with the oversized design, we can avoid the bags falling in, and they are held in place. Another great feature is that when this can closes, it is quiet, with the lid shox technology which ensures a smooth silent close each time! In all making the Simple Human 45 Litre Slim Step Can a great product to have in our home or any home this holiday season!

Holiday Gifts from the MEGA BLOKS Barbie Collection

Now that the holiday shopping season is in full swing, I find that it is time to ensure we get the kids those toys that are on their lists this year. One line of toys that all 3 of my kids like is MEGA BLOKS, so when we were sent the MEGA BLOKS Barbie Build n' Play Fab Mansion to review, I was excited to check it out and share it with my daughter!

This play set is one that is not only fun to put together, but also fun to arrange and rearrange over and over as my daughter sees fit with the interchangeable rooms. I also like that it comes with the play figures which include Barbie and Skipper.

There are 222 pieces in all with this set, and as my daughter and her friends play with it, they not only build and create new scenes with the rooms as they see fit, but they can also enjoy having imaginative fun! Making the Barbie Build n' Play Fab Mansion from MEGA BLOKS a great gift to give your Barbie fans this holiday season!

Luma Comfort Cool Mist Humidifier

With the cooler weather upon us, I find that we not only have more of those sniffling noses in my home, but we also get a lot more of that dry skin and the unwanted colds and flu into our home. We know that in order to stay warm is to stay indoors and keep the heater and logs burning on the fire, but even though these might warm the home and my family, they can also dry out the air. As a mom I find that having a humidifier going helps not only during the allergy season in my home, but also during the cooler weather months. In my home with having allergies that are apparent year round, and a child with asthma, even during the summer months it is crucial that we have a humidifier in the various rooms in my home. So to help keep the moisture in the air, even when the heater and fire is going, I was sent a Luma Comfort Cool Mist Humidifier to review.

This is a must have item for the home during these cooler months, especially when the heater is running and the fire is burning. The Luma Comfort has different levels that I can choose from, so I can ensure that we have the right amount of moisture in the air at different times. I like that it puts out a cool mist, adding moisture to dry air in the home, and also helping to soothe cough and cold symptoms. I also like that I can use the water from my tap, and that the fill up process is easy. Then with the demineralization cartridge, I can feel better about the quality of air that is coming out of my humidifier.

I found the set up process to be very easy, from the putting the water in the water chamber to attaching the other pieces. Once it was put together, I waited about 5 minutes before plugging it in and powering it up. I like that I can control the levels of humidity with the remote control that came with it, and that I can also power it on and off with this remote. Aside from the 3 basic pieces that I used in the assembly process, there are also a couple of other pieces, giving me choices on how I would like it to look when putting it in different spaces around my home.

The design is very sleek, making it a great piece to add to any room, and with the whisper quiet operation, I can run it in my room, the kids room, nursery, living room, or even office! Making the Luma Comfort Cool Mist Humidifier a great item to add to the home, and a must have product for keeping those in your home comfortable as the heater and fire places run during the nights! You can find the Luma Comfort Cool Mist Humidifier to put in your home at Home Depot and at Overstock.com!
