CASABREWS Espresso Machine
If you need the machine that gets your coffee just right every single time, CASABREWS Espresso Machine is Dom’s recommendation. This is our favorite espresso machine! You can leave it to do its magic, and come back to a perfect espresso. It takes a little longer, but it’s worth it.

It has a fast read time, intuitive display, and a sleek design. The screen is bright and the numbers are pretty big. It’s also waterproof – so it’s easy to clean.

This product is a new addition to my kitchen and I love it so far! The Flip It Cap is perfect for emptying out the last bits out of a bottle. I use it for honey, various sauces, and even hand soap or shampoo bottles! The adapters also come in different colors, making it easy to organize for different rooms in the house. It’s a small cap, but it’s saving me so much more effort than i realized.
They come in a set of 6 for $26 and are amazing stocking stuffers for adults!
Speedy, Odor-Free Composting
For a food creator and a family that loves gardening, food scrap composting is a must have. Traditional composting can smell, attract fruit flies, or take a long time to break down. After tons of trial and error, I’ve finally figured out my perfect setup for composting that works both in the house and an apartment. Check out Dom’s blog post on apartment balcony gardening using the Bokashi compost bins! I now use these compost bins in conjunction with my Lomi Composter. These two methods are both speedy and odor-free, which make composting a lot more enjoyable! I’ll be doing a more in-depth video on our composting process, so keep an eye out!
The Bokashi Living is a compost bin kit using bokashi bran mixture, which supports the compost process. It’s perfect for those living in apartments and condos, and more cost effective than buying a composting machine. It’s a compact bin and no odors or pests. We left these on our balcony when we lived in our apartment and no it’s in our garage. They take 4-6 weeks to break down, but it’s so rewarding.
Dom loves using these because the fertilizer comes out so high quality every time, and it’s so easy to use. I love that it’s clean, effective, and odor-free! This is also a local small business, and we’re always happy to support them!
They are offering 20% off everything for Black Friday, which is their biggest sale of the year!
I LOVE our Lomi Composter, it’s been a complete game changer in my home! Being a food content creator, I always try to limit my food waste but between recipe testing and filming, there’s still quite a bit of fruit peels, onions skins, seeds, and other kitchen scraps to dispose of. While the bokashi compost method is faster than traditional composting, we needed a solution that was even quicker and easier.
Lomi Composter is so much easier and quicker than other bins composting I just throw my kitchen scraps in, press a button, and it produces high quality compost soil in HOURS. It’s looks good enough to on your counter, and I really don’t smell a thing when I use it.
They have up to 40% off for BFCM, and I absolutely recommend you grab one!
Quiet Home Appliances For Pet Owners
If you have cats, you’ll understand when I say that it’s impossible to keep your home completely clean because there’s always hair everywhere, and it’s hard to keep the dust and fur away even when you vacuum every day. These home appliances allow me to enjoy my home environments comfortably, quietly, and cleanly, without getting in the way of our day-to-day.
Miko Air Purifier
Because we have cats, we also have an air purifier in every room of the house! We’ve tried so many, but my favorite has to be these Miko Air Purifiers. They are cute and tiny, but are just as powerful as my other air purifiers. It’s really quiet – great for the bedrooms. But, it’s still powerful enough to do the job in our larger dining room. Filter changes are super easy. It also has an app so that you can control everything from your phone!
They’re currently 33% off for Black Friday, I highly recommend these!
Litter -Robot 4
I recently wrote a review for my new Litter-Robot 4, but I have to say again – this product literally changed my life! If you have cats, you’ll know scooping can be a nightmare. Litter-Robot really makes it completely automatic – I just change the bags out and just throw it away!
The Litter-Robot is definitely on the pricier side, but it’s SO worth the investment. Take advantage of their sale now – $100 off select bundles, and 30% off new subscriptions!
After we moved into our house, we’ve been noticing lots of different birds in our trees, especially blue jays. So, I recently got this smart bird feeder with a solar powered camera! We’re hoping to get some close up shots, and I’ve never been so eagerly checking my app. I’ll update and post some more if we have any good pictures!
If you love seeing birds in your yard, this feeder is now 24% off!
I saw Red Light Mask all over my TikTok and I decided to finally give one a try. I’ve been using this one from Kandyway and I’ve been loving it! It’s easy to use and comfortable, so I can use it while checking emails or reading in the morning. Even though I just started using it, my skin feels softer and absorbs my skincare products better after consistent use. I’ll post more in-depth comparisons after I use it for a longer period! If you’re curious, it’s 23% off now!
