Whether we're working on our laptops, checking Instagram on our phones, or chillaxing in front of a smart TV, we all rely on technology to get us through the day, and even more so since the Pandemic began.

Being in Southern California, we love to spend time outdoors and entertain, and having this fridge has made a big difference. A year later, we decided to add the Newair Outdoor Wine Fridge to our patio setup. With socializing and hosting events becoming more common again, this wine fridge has been a fantastic addition.

Gluten free seems to have become such a popular diet trend lately, but it can really be a hard world to live in if you are avoiding gluten for your health. I have been gluten free for over 5 years now and somehow I still spend about 30% of my life glutened no matter how hard I try to avoid it.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, then you’ve probably heard the term “healthy fat” at least once. But what exactly is healthy fat? And if fat is supposedly healthy, then why has it been so demonized by our culture?
