Recent Gadgets That I Love

January 30, 2024

I’ve been a gadget girl for as long as I can remember. When I was child I begged my dad to buy me a tape recorder. If you know what that is, then you’re as old as I am. LOL! I used it to record my sister and I singing, even though either of us can’t keep a tune. My friends and I would pretend we were newscasters or reporters and record interviews. Then I decided I needed a typewriter. Again, I begged my dad and he bought me one. Now I typed my news in a newspaper format instead. What a great imagination I had!

That being said, I still buy into all the gadget out there. Whether it’s the latest Apple watch or a new cooking gadget for my kitchen, I want them all! For today’s post, I’m going to share some of my tried and true kitchen and tech tools and gadgets that I love. I’m also sharing some newer ones that I’m loving.

*You can click on the highlighted text below for direct links to shop these products. I may earn a small commission when you use my links. I appreciate your support!

Hand warmers
Laptop Stand
Bluetooth Keyboard
Wireless Mouse
Rechargeable Lighter

Rechargeable Hand Warmers – These have been a game changer for my poor circulation. I literally charge them up and put them in my jacket pockets for when I’m out on my morning walks. They’re great for skiing, hiking, camping and different outdoor sports activities. Great gift idea for outdoor enthusiasts too.

Laptop Stand for Desk and Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse – If you’re tired of looking down at your computer screen, then this combination is for you. I think I bought mine during the pandemic when we were all doing zoom calls. It’s nice to have the adjustable elevated laptop screen and definitely helps with the tech neck we’re all getting. I use it with a bluetooth keyboard and wireless mouse. Of course I had to get the pink version.

Rechargeable Lighter – I bought these for Christmas stockings this year and had to get one for myself too. If you haven’t used one of these yet, I’m telling you, you’re missing out! I love having this for lighting my candles.

Veggie Tool
Single Serve Keurig
Warming Mug
Air Fryer
some of my favorite kitchen gadgets
Bread Maker

Veggie Spiral Tool – I bought mine during the pandemic when I was cooking more than usual. It’s fun to make healthier versions of pasta. I often use it to make zucchini noodles and we love them.

Keurig Single Cup – Yes, I have a built in coffee maker, and I love it. However, when I want a simple, no fuss cup of coffee I like using the single serve version of the Keurig. I like that you only put in the amount of water that you’re using so there’s no extra water hanging around inside the machine.

Self Heating Mug – I’m loving this affordable option of the self-heating mug. It keeps my coffee hot for 2-3 hours on a single charge. I gifted a few of these this holiday season and everyone tells me that they love theirs too. It comes in 3 color options. I have the black.

Instant Pot Air Fryer – I’ve always used a toaster over style air fryer, but recently treated myself to the basket style. I’m so glad I did! I bought the 6 quart size from this reputable brand. It’s been perfect for making all kinds of meals that are now a bit healthier because of this type of cooking method.

Zojirushi Mini Bread Maker – I had a bread machine when they first became popular wayyy back when. I’m talking about 20 years ago. That machine is long gone, but since I do love bread, I recently purchased this new one. I did lots of research before deciding which one to get. This one makes small 1 pound loaves which is perfect for my small household.

To see more of my recommendations, you can visit my Amazon storefront.

So there you have it! These have been some of my favorite kitchen and home tools and gadgets that I love right now. Tell me, what gadgets or tools have you purchased? Do you love them or have you gotten rid of them already? I’d love to know!

I’m sharing my Glow-Up Routine for Women Over 50 I’m sharing my Glow-Up Routine for Women Over 50 for a beautiful natural makeup look that enhances the beauty of mature skin and protects it from the sun. It’s makeup and skincare in one! I love a multitasker, don’t you?

What I used:
Universal Tinted Moisturizer: This is a lightweight tinted moisturizer with SPF 46 that gives sheer coverage and a natural glow. It nourishes and hydrates with hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, and a high concentration of niacinamide (vitamin B3). It blends out perfectly for all skin tones.

Luminous Eye Corrector: This product comes in 4 peachy shades to cancel out under eye circles and darkness. It stays all day, doesn’t crease and gives perfect coverage without looking cakey. It has mineral SPF 41 to protect that delicate skin under the eyes.

Lip Silk: Deeply hydrating lip color that’s formulated with Squalane, Meadowfoam, & Peptides to nourish and soften lips without bleeding into lip lines. Available in 2 shades Soft and Bold. It has mineral based SPF 40 to protect lips from the sun and also from blue light.

These are fantastic skincare products that make you feel good in your own skin & they’re linked in my profile!💫

The Costco parking lot is always so crowded and full, but a rainy day keeps lots of shoppers away so I could score a great parking spot right now.

I recently went to the Southlake, TX location of S I recently went to the Southlake, TX location of Skin Pharm for a little Dysport refresh with the incredible Rebekah.💖

I really appreciate her knowledge and skill, but what impresses me the most is the way she listens to my concerns about my aging skin and she does everything she can to help make me feel more confident.

She educated me on the latest products and treatments available and we decided together that Skinvive is something that I might want to try in the future. Have you heard of it? It purely for hydration and not for volume.

You can see my highlights with my previous treatments at Skin Pharm too.

Skin Pharm is a clinician-founded, female-led cosmetic dermatology practice with locations in several states including TX, GA, NC, SC and TN. 

Oh, and their skincare products are amazing! You can purchase them right from their website too! I highly recommend their cleansers, the eye sculpt cream, the Youth Serum and the new Face Whip.💫

✨Right now they’re running a special where you get FREE cleanser AND Crystal Clear with any treatment  through 5/30/25.✨

Book your appointment at @skinpharm asap so they can take care of you too!
