Lasko FH500 Fan & Space Heater Combo Tower

It is that time of year when you begin to think about keeping warm and using space heaters. A portable space heater is an excellent addition to a home. A small space heater moved from room to room as needed can let you keep your overall heating bill low.  After all, there is no sense in heating the whole house when you spend time in just one room. Portable heaters also let the more cold-sensitive individuals like me stay warm and cozy while you don’t overheat.

As we continue to work from home, we are setting up office spaces in extra rooms and basements, and we need a space heater there. I fell in love with the Lasko FH500 Fan & Space Heater Combo Tower.

Lasko’s mission is: we are committed to providing consumers a healthier and more comfortable home environment. We always strive to design and build high-quality products at a value every day and continue to do so through the pandemic. Our products are all designed and engineered in the United States, and many are made right here in our Texas and Tennessee manufacturing facilities (with domestic and imported parts).

The Lasko FH500 ceramic heater is great at heating a whole room and can also be used without the oscillating fan as a personal heater for direct heat to one spot. It stays cool to the touch, has a tip-over shut-off, and creates just the right amount of white noise, so it’s a great choice for the bedroom and for households with kids and pets.

The Lasko is a 3-speed ceramic heater with 4 fan speeds. It can quickly heat a room while maintaining excellent air circulation. It fits in a 13″ by 13″ space, standing 42″ tall, making it just the ticket for small city apartments where you don’t have room for a separate fan and heater.

This model is lightweight, easy to assemble, easy to clean the filter, comes with a carry handle, has optional oscillation, an energy-efficient adjustable digital thermostat, and  an 8-hour programmable timer and remote control.

All Lasko heaters, this one has a 3-year limited guarantee and comes from a company that’s been making appliances for more than 100 years. Lasko is also great because they take corporate social responsibility, including being committed to environmentally friendly manufacturing.

Safety is very important when using a space heater and Lasko makes sure that we have all the tools for that.

Holiday at Play

By Leave a Comment

When I begin to think of the holidays. The first thing that comes to my mind is my Holiday at Play event. It is an event that shows us bloggers the hottest toys to share in our holiday gift guides. This year, things looked a bit different. The Toy Insider had to adjust and turn this event into a virtual one. It was done in a great way and I want to say thank you everyone who worked hard to put it together. While I missed seeing everyone in person, I still felt like I was there just through a computer screen.

We could updates as the event approached, when it was time for the event to begin, it started with a greeting and introduction. There was an entire schedule of events, that we had beforehand to guide us from one booth to another. It also let us know when brands were doing special unboxing events. Each booth felt realistic and was decorated with banners and holiday decoration. It quickly got me into the holiday spirit.

We were presented with a floor plan so we knew the location of all the booths. Once you arrived at the booth, you had a few options. You could click on a few videos to get an idea of the products available or go to the links provided to visit websites and social media of the brand. This way you could interact with the booth representative directly, either via chat or by clicking on their Zoom. I love the Zoom meetings because we got to see other bloggers who were in the room with us and representatives talk enthusiastically about their products.

Now for the best part of the event the Holiday of Play had toys for kids of all ages. It was great to see all the brands with the products that will be a hit this season. I can’t wait to share these toys with you in my holiday gift guide.

Ciroa Home Décor for the Holidays

The holidays are right around the corner and it will not be the same for us. One thing that is clear is that we all love changing our home décor during this time of year. I was so enthusiastic about finding Circoa Home.

The brand is an eclectic collection of timeless designs that take their cue from the laid-back Sydney lifestyle.  Australian designer Alexandra Liddy has re-imagined everyday essentials for contemporary kitchens and tabletops in elegant shapes and simple lines with striking color palettes, tactile finishes, and playful design detail. Versatile Ciroa designs give you the freedom to create a unique expression of your individual personality, seasonality, and mood in the home you love. Each piece is as functional as it is beautiful.

I love that you just need one or two pieces to change the entire dynamic of your home.

Their focus on beautiful products for easy + elegant entertaining (at affordable prices) makes them a natural fit for any kitchen. I have multiple pieces from their collection + love the finishes on their utensil sets (rose gold + burnished gold pictured) which add a little bling to my kitchen! They offer free worldwide shipping on orders over $50.

I love utensil sets they look great in my kitchen and they make great gifts.  This beautiful embossed sage porcelain utensil set holds four utensils. I love the color, it will brighten up any kitchen. It contains slotted and solid turners, spoon, and whisk that have color-coordinated silicone heads combined with lightweight beech wood handles. The silicone heads will not absorb food stain odors and are ideal for use on non-stick cookware.  If you have someone in your life that is putting a kitchen together, this is the perfect starter piece.

When I saw this piece, I knew I wanted it in my kitchen. It is part of the new resin wicker line from Ciroa Home. The line features a variety of fun, quirky shapes, and designs to your home and is a great way to introduce whimsy and color to your space.

This is ideal for entertaining, it will also add an element of fun and surprise to your table. The resin wicker is perfect for outdoor entertaining and will make casual celebrations nice and cozy.

A home is more than a place just to sleep at night. A home is a statement it tells outsiders who we are, gives people a clue regarding our individuality, and tells our friends the type of person we are. Our home is a reflection of us and one of the best ways to do that is through our home décor.
