Wyze Robot Vaccum
Allow me to take a moment to tell you about the magic that is this vacuum. This … thing … is … AMAZING! I’ve been using it upstairs on the carpet for a couple of weeks now. I have ZERO regrets in pre-ordering this machine.
Our house is one of chronic pain and other endless issues that I won’t get into. Basically what it means is that it’s hard for my husband or I to clean without needing days to recover for the simplest thing. Boppy (yes, I named it that) does a better job then I do when I vacuum. My corners and edges along the wall haven’t been this clean in ages! I’m going to get him some googly eyes to give him even more personality. 🙂
We have 2 cats and 1 dog, this means there is endless hair that needs to be vacuumed and this machine is up to the challenge. I run the machine daily and it always fills up with fur I didn’t even know was there.
Features that I love:
It allows you to set a schedule. This means the floor will be vacuumed daily even if you’re asleep, not home or busy. It remembers so you don’t have to.
It maps the layout of the floor. This means you can schedule it to run specific areas if you so desire. Is there one room more heavily used than another? Run it only in that room to keep it clean! Since the rooms that it cleans are saved on a map, it vacuums the floor in as many straight lines as possible. This means you get that pretty lines that prove your house was actually vacuumed. When you look at the map, it shows the nice pretty path that it took as well.
You can add virtual walls. You can open the map of the rooms and block off where it shouldn’t go. For us, this is around the animal’s water dishes. I can also block off the bathrooms without having to remember to close the doors.
It puts itself to bed. When the battery is low or the cleaning is done, it puts itself back on the charger. If the battery gets low while cleaning, it takes a nap to charge then picks up where it left off. When the cleaning is completed, it puts itself right back to bed.
It stops at stairs. Boppy has built-in sensors that prevent it from falling down the stairs. Instead, it stops, turns itself, and safely continues its job. LOVE this because I can ignore it while it’s working. It also means I don’t have to set up a blockade like my old iRobot who quite enjoyed trying to careen down the stairs.
It gives you notifications. The app shows you notifications if something needs to be corrected on Boppy (yes, I might have run over a cord and had to untangle it.). It also tells you when the cleaning has been completed, how many square feet it cleaned and how long it took.
It talks to you. Boppy will talk to you in a pleasant voice when you open the cover and remove and replace the dust bin, when you start and stop the cleaning if it’s been picked up and when it has connected to the charger. I might be missing an instance, but I feel like you get the point of what I’m saying. It talks.
There are a couple of features I wish it had.
The ability to have multiple maps. Our house is on two levels. Since you can only have one map saved to the device, you have to clear the saved map if you want to use it on another floor. This isn’t a huge deal-breaker for me due to the fact that it’s an affordable vacuum. In fact, as soon as the option was available, I purchased a second one to keep downstairs. My husband doesn’t always switch from shoes to slippers, so there’s always something that needs to be vacuumed along with the fur.
A sensor or notification to tell you when the bin is full. As I’ve previously mentioned, we have 3 animals which equates to a lot of fur. If I go a couple of days without running the vacuum, I have to empty the bin a couple of times due to the amount of fur it’s collected. I’d like for it to tell me when to empty it instead of me having to remember to pause the cleaning and empty it. Yes, I’m aware that you can buy self-emptying vacuums, but I’m not paying $200 extra for something I consider a minor inconvenience.
In closing, I love Boppy and I quickly bought him a sibling. I happily purchased a second machine to help me keep the house clean. The benefits far outweigh the complaints. Have I mentioned that my house smells better too? Cause it does, it really really does. LOVE … THIS … THING!!!

Static Nails | Reusable Pop On Manicures
I’m not a girly girl. Never have been, never will be. However, I do like a bit of color every now and then. That’s where these nails come in. I normally buy short black, dark reds and purples or green colors. However, they have a plethora of different colors and lengths to choose from.
Ya’ll, these nails are super mindless and easy to put on. It takes maybe 5 minutes total from picking the size to gluing them on. You can wear them weeks straight or a few days at a time—you decide by the amount of glue you use to put them on. The more glue you apply the longer the nails will stay on.
Each kit comes with 20 nails, a small file and a tube of glue. I decided to get the bottle of brush on glue they sell because it’s even easier to use. No regurts. The packaging is attractive, the shipping decently fast and the quality great. I highly recommend you invest in yourself!
