Everyday Maddie

 Happy Tuesday, friends! The past few years, I have become obsessed with Le Creuset! I haven't bought anything until this year, but I have always admired all of their pieces. Here's what I have gotten so far and what I think about each piece. I knew I wanted a dutch oven, and I knew it just had to be pink! I got the 5.5 quart signature round dutch oven, and it's the perfect size! I have loved making different things in it so far, and once the weather finally gets cold here, I'll be using it even more! It is super easy to clean, too. When I bought the dutch oven, I got this two piece set for free. I probably wouldn't have ever bought it, but I do like having at least the larger one. I haven't made anything in the small one yet. I also wasn't able to choose the color, so I would have probably gone with a more neutral color.  I recently discovered there is an outlet, and now I want to go back so bad! Here's what I got there.... I've always wanted a mug,...

 Happy Wednesday! I'm here today to give you a review of my new foldable treadmill, walking pad, whatever you wanna call it! Most of the time, I pull it in the living room, so I can watch tv while I walk on it. I store it in our office and sometimes I will walk on it in there and just listen to music. The cord is very short, and I have to keep it super close to whatever outlet I'm using- I don't love that. I added a magnetic cup holder to the side, and it fits both my 30 and 40 ounce Stanley cups nicely. Here's an up close view of the buttons and phone holder. I do keep my phone in there while I'm walking, but I don't ever watch anything on my phone while walking, because it's pretty low. If you are shorter this may not be a huge issue for you. Overall, I do really having this! I like how convenient it is to move from room to room as opposed to a regular treadmill. I try to walk at least a mile a day, but sometimes I do more. I just realized my exact one is...

 Happy Tuesday! Today I'm sharing with you my very favorite Pura scents!  I've had my Puras for close to a year now, and I honestly haven't met a scent I didn't absolutely LOVE! I choose my scents based on the season and the location in my house. I have one device in our bedroom and one in the living room (that opens up to the kitchen). For instance, I don't want something super citrusy in our room, but I love that in the kitchen/living room! I like light and fresh in the kitchen and more sweet and floral in our room.  Right now, in our room I have Champagne and Santal Blush. In the living room I have Marine and Sicilian Tangerine.  I really do love all of these scents!  For Spring/Summer I like:  -LAFCO Blush Rose -Paddywax Cactus Flower -NEST Bamboo -Capri Blue Volcano For Christmas:  -NEST Holiday -Thymes Frasier Fir -Illume Winter White For Fall: -Capri Blue Pumpkin Dulce I am on a subscription, and each time I just change out my scents. I get one ...

 Grab a cup of coffee, curl up, and let's talk about our underarms!  For YEARS I have used Secret Lavender gel deodorant. I loved it. Like really loved that stuff. I loved the smell of it so much that when I lost my sense of smell when I had Covid, I got sad because I could no longer smell my deodorant. Crazy. I know.  A couple months ago, I decided I wanted to switch to a "clean" deodorant brand. I wanted something that didn't have aluminum in it, but that actually worked. I've seen/heard of several brands, but I didn't really know what would be best. I saw an ad for Curie on Instagram, and I just went with it.  I grabbed the deodorant in Coconut Nectar, as well as the clay detox mask for an easier transition. We're about to get up close and personal.  I put the mask on my underarms, let it dry completely, wiped it all off, then applied the deodorant.  The first week or so of doing this, I did the mask maybe two or three of those days. I noticed I started...
