Breville Smart Waffle Maker Review

by Tazim Damji

Breville Smart Waffle Maker

I won't tell you how many waffle makers I've owned or used in my lifetime, nor the amount of waffles I've consumed. To tell you would open myself up to being made fun of, and being asked if I am the president of the "I Love Waffles" fan club. Instead, I'll just say that I know a thing or two about what makes a waffle makers (and waffles) stand out from the rest. ...

The Dyson AM06 Fan is Powerful yet Quiet

by Tazim Damji

dyson desk fan

The Dyson Cool AM06 12" Desk Fan has powerful airflow, no spinning blades, and is easy to keep dust-free. Even on the lowest setting, this is one powerful fan! Dyson's AM06 12" Desk Fan is now 75% quieter, making this the perfect fan to keep in my bedroom. I've been using this powerful, yet super-quiet fan in my bedroom to create a cross-breeze and get me through the heat waves. I love that the sound of the fan doesn't bother me at night, and the great timer feature lets me keep it on for just ...

by Tazim Damji

DIY minwax wood finishing project

It's been a while since I've stained and finished anything. I remember the process being really messy, time-consuming and involving a long wait time between steps. No wonder it took me so long to work on another project! When I heard about a product that was a stain and finish in one, and didn't involve messy liquids, I wanted to find out how to get my DIY on with a new project! Here, I'm testing out the Maple finish Minwax Wood Finishing Cloths on a piece of wood, which can be used to hold a ...

The Last Screen Protector for your Devices: Phantom Glass

by Tazim Damji

phantom glass

Genius. I don't use the word often, unless I'm being sarcastic. But seriously, I think it applies to the fellow who invented Phantom Glass. I love hearing Arlene Dickenson (of Dragon's Den and many other non-TV things fame) say that the country will be in good hands when she sees a young entrepreneur come on the show to present their product or business. That is exactly how I felt when I met with Richard Waters, the inventor of Phantom Glass. When Richard told me he was only 20 years old, ...

Saving Mr. Banks Blu-Ray

by Tazim Damji

Saving Mr Banks

Where her book ended, their story began. Saving Mr. Banks is the story of Mary Poppins, Walt Disney, and the exploration of the "why" of who we are. Emma Thompson and Tom Hanks: two very good reasons to watch Saving Mr. Banks, even if you don't know anything about the movie. Here are a few more: gorgeous, sweeping shots of rural Australia, a glimpse at what Walt Disney Studios looked like in the 1960s, and some top-notch acting from the likes of Colin Farrell, Jason Schwartzman, and Paul ...

New Skincare Adventures with SeabuckWonders

by Tazim Damji

sea buckthorn

I'm not usually very adventurous when it comes to skincare, but I'm glad I had the chance to try out the SeabuckWonders line of skincare products. I have sensitive skin so don't use anything that's got a lot of scent or too many ingredients that I can't pronounce, and as an additional requirement, I don't use anything that isn't vegan (not made of animal by-products). I received the Natural Skin Care Program, which includes body lotion, facial cleanser, deep hydrating serum and  facial ...
