Product Review: T-Fal Platinum Non-Stick Unlimited Collection, 26 cm Sauté Pan

I was thrilled last month to receive a pan free, courtesy of T-Fal and Influenster, in exchange for a review.  It’s been a rough winter, to put it mildly, in between dealing with a landlord who, shall we say, wouldn’t accept anything except what he wanted, which was against the law (but he insisted was… Read More Product Review: T-Fal Platinum Non-Stick Unlimited Collection, 26 cm Sauté Pan

Product Review: The Honest Company’s Free Discovery Kits (Part 1 of 2)

When a company chooses, in the context of the current climate of distrust towards all things corporation, to use the word “honest” in their name, either they are supremely arrogant or they are extremely dedicated to creating a new kind of corporate culture. The overall feeling one gets from The Honest Company’s website is one… Read More Product Review: The Honest Company’s Free Discovery Kits (Part 1 of 2)

Product Review: Blank Cards, Thank You Cards, and Note Cards

A little over a year ago, I wrote a piece on how cards can help build a stronger community. Pleasantries, I wrote, “have been previously defined on this blog as the hydrogen bonds of community building” which although “are not in themselves strong enough to hold a molecule together, but can still change the properties… Read More Product Review: Blank Cards, Thank You Cards, and Note Cards

Product Review: Burt’s Bees Almond Milk Beeswax Hand Cream

The long an often arduous Canadian winters make moisturizers for every part of one’s skin an essential part of one’s personal hygiene regimen.  I’m sure a couple of tons of the stuff is slathered on every winter in a desperate attempt to avoid the discomfort of tightening dry skin. Which makes it all the more… Read More Product Review: Burt’s Bees Almond Milk Beeswax Hand Cream

Product Review: Moleskine Hard Cover Ruled Large Notebooks (Part 1 of 2)

Since reading about my love for journals, many Sahar’s Blog readers have reached out to me to ask me about the ones I use.  Others reached out to share thoughts about the journals they prefer to read.  While I listed three types that readers and I love, many readers wanted more information about each option—so… Read More Product Review: Moleskine Hard Cover Ruled Large Notebooks (Part 1 of 2)

Product Review: ‘This Just In’ Sticky Note Set, by Kate Spade

I have to admit that I have been lusting over Kate Spade stationary ever since I discovered the brand. As a writer, I focused my attention over their notebooks and sticky notes. When their This Just In sticky note set went on sale, I swooped in and got myself one, sure that I was getting… Read More Product Review: ‘This Just In’ Sticky Note Set, by Kate Spade
