Can you review Ruggable? They're a machine washable rug company and I'd love your opinion since I'm on the fence about getting one

I've really been enjoying anti hauls lately. They're fun and interesting to watch, and a great way to avoid avoid overspending and buying things you don't need. I think everyone can get sucked into this 'I need it' mentality, so it's good to hear people saying something different.

I have an Apple Watch - but turned off a lot of those notifications. At 1st, I was getting notified for all work emails and basically everything, but now it’s I think just calls and texts and I love it.

[Luvall]

I’ve had Apple Watch for years and I wear it all the time. I have almost all notifications off on it. I only have on my water reminders and text messages. You can modify what notifications you have on, and can even place it on do not disturb.

Totally love my Everlane jeans because of your recommendation. I have them in colours as well. I also invested in Third Love Bras. I felt positive about spending the money on good, comfortable clothing and in all honesty, you helped me feel confident. 🥰

i just caught up with all your blogs after my no social media weeks! Im so happy u posted haha!!

Nespresso tip: I have chronic illnesses and acidic response to coffee too. I've found that the lower number ones are easier and have started splitting an espresso pod in half and make one drink with all the cream syrups in morning and then second one after lunch. It has helped a lot and makes the pods last longer too. Plus the split helps my extra exhausted body last longer throughout the day.

Also, I have severe dust mite allergy too and Central Park ombre curtains on Amazon are amazing. They're linen and I wash and dry them monthly. They've held up really well so far and are beautiful.

Yay I am super early for once! Love your channel!!!

Anyone shopping for a section be mindful of the MFG abbreviation. LAF/RAF stand for Left/Right Arm Facing (what side it is when looking at the sectional. LAS/RAS Left/Right Arm Sitting (what side it is when sitting.) Most companies will use facing, but I know La-Z-Boy uses sitting. Many people select the wrong piece without understanding the difference.

PSA: save your money and don't buy a Furbo, unless you care to spend that much money on a dog treat machine. Get a Wyze Camera - SO much cheaper, FREE cloud storage, excellent video quality, sound and motion detection alerts, and SO much more. We love our Wyze cameras and it's absurd to me that these "pet camera" companies charge more just because it's marketed toward pets. Wyze also has a doorbell camera at HALF the price of a Ring camera. Same quality, but literally half the price. Save your money!!

I just found your channel in the last month and love your content and overall vibe. :) Thanks for being something to look forward to!

Another option is to bring in the cushions when you’re not using them. This has proven well in Seattle!

[jennyreed]

In regards to your outdoor cushions, I'd recommend bringing them in/storing them in an outdoor storage box when you're not using them. It would definitely help keep them cleaner! You could also get new covers for the ones you currently have. Would save them from being tossed into the landfill.

Its such a rainy day over here in Pasadena, Tx this is such a great video to watch right now.. After a good book lol

[tessasundermann]

Definitely record a favorites roundup video!! 😁

[kristinkostecki]

Hi! From living in the northeast most of my life with lots of weather you probably want to either take in your outdoor cushions daily or get a cover for each chair. It's a hassle, but worth it! I've also been wanting to try the sunbrella fabric...supposed to be spill proof and good with pets! Maybe one day! Great video!!

[neumannce]

I would also love a ruggable review. I wanted to get one for my daughter's playroom but have heard mixed reactions to them.

[laceegassman]

Such a fun video, but now there are more things I feel like I need since you’ve loved them😅

I hear you on the wood cutting boards, I hand wash mine but have still managed to make them crack.

[christinagray]

I've been thinking about the Ring security system, so I'm glad it's on here! 🚨💜
