Kaenon Venice Polarized Sunglasses Essentials Collection

My favorite sunglasses were a cheap $5 pair that really did not do much to protect my eyes, but fit my face so well and I lost them in a lake this summer. I accidentally left them on my head when dropping from a zip line into the water. I am always losing my sunglasses, so I hate paying a fortune for them. When I was shopping for a new pair, I wanted to spend as little as possible, but have good eye protection. Kaenon is exactly this – effective + affordable sunglasses. Kaenon is a Southern California brand and their sunglasses are hand-crafted in Japan.

The Essentials line has 5 styles to choose from: Venice, Avalon, Lido, Sonora and Arroyo.

I own the Venice Polarized Sunglasses and I can see and feel the quality when they arrived. These sunglasses are from their new Essentials line and are made using TR-90, which means they are very lightweight! The Venice style has 10 frame colors to choose from.

Whether you need new sunglasses this time of the year for driving, skiing, riding or just to replace the pair you lost over the summer, you can find a sunglass choice that is right for you by visiting Kaenon’s website.

PURGGO All-Natural Car Air Eco-Purifier & Freshener

October 26, 2022October 22, 2022 Erin Sluka

I struggle with car air fresheners. Most are so strong and even give me headaches, but I want something in there to help freshen the air. I know most of these products just mask odors with more odors and that is not exactly what I want to accomplish. I don’t hold many odors inside my car, I just want help keeping the inside of my car fresh and purified. The Purggo is new and genius. I now have one hanging behind my headrest and it is fragrance-free and working to purify my car air!

This is the all-natural PURGGO car air eco-purifier & freshener. It is made with sustainable natural bamboo charcoal, which absorbs & eliminates odor instead of masking it. Moso bamboo charcoal is one of the most renewable natural resources in the world and is known as Mother Nature’s purifier. Nothing like those scented chemicals you hang around your car, most with oils that can actually damage your interior if it comes in contact with your seats or console.

PURGGO can be used for more than 365 days, while common car fresheners only last up to 45 days. This makes a great gift for the Holidays for any driver on your list! Find it on Amazon.

The Stove Shelf is a genius kitchen storage solution

October 25, 2022October 23, 2022 Erin Sluka

There are 2 things that bother me about my stove – the grime build up on the top ledge that is hard to reach over and clean and the gap between the wall and stove that items want to fall back into. It seems like wasted space to no be able to use that space as storage but I am limited on what can be displayed. The I discovered the Stove Shelf, a genius kitchen storage solution!

I already know so many people I need to gift a Stove Shelf to that ill love it as much as I do! I gave that top stove ledge a good wipe down and simply set the Stove Shelf on top. The heavy duty magnet makes it easy to adjust just right and it stays in place!

I can easily remove it to clean, meaning that grease now builds on the shelf and the shelf can get to my sink for proper cleaning. Even better, I can display just about anything I want. I get extra width and the lip does not allow items to fall behind the stove.

StoveShelf is the gift that will get used all year round! It is available in 3 sizes: 20”, 24”, and 30” and 3 colors: stainless steel, black and white. And available on Amazon and on Walmart.com too.
