Kate Spade New York x Target Collection Favorites: Homewares

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

While browsing the new Kate Spade New York x Target collection, I discovered a lot of things I liked in the homewares section of the collection. Since the collection is so large, I was not surprised I would find things I liked in every category. What surprised me is that I liked the homewares more than the other categories! Stand out products are the vinyl record player, the tent, and umbrellas.

Everything in this post (And all other posts in this series) will be available to purchase online on April 12, 2025 at 3 EST and in store on April 12th.

All the photos in this post are originally from the media pack available for free on Target’s website. I edited them for this post.

My New Mixer Problems and Buying Another New Mixer

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Last year, I talked about purchasing a new mixer. I did and, after almost a year of use, it broke. What happened is that I used it to make too many heavy doughs for bread, going over the mixer’s capabilities. So, I needed to get a new one.

Home Goods Haul- October 2024

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

After many months, I went shopping at Home Goods in October. I went for the sole reason to buy seasonal kitchen towels. My old fall and Christmas themed towels had finally worn out so I needed new ones. I really liked the way the towels I purchased earlier this year worked, so I decided to see if there were similar quality towels available in fall and Christmas theme. While shopping, I decided to purchase a blanket to replace an old blanket as well.

Published on by essieofwho1 Comment

In August, my local Walmart began to carry the fall scented Softsoap hand soaps. I don’t like to use scented hand soaps anymore, but I still enjoy seeing them every season. This year, the soaps were available in both soap dispensers and refillable containers. I really enjoyed seeing them this year!

Home Goods Haul- June 2024

Published on by essieofwho1 Comment

In June, I decided to go shopping for some new home decor. I didn’t want to buy a lot of new things. Just something to add to my decor. One of the stores I decided to shop at was Home Goods.

While shopping there, I found a lot of pretty and cute things. Yet, it wasn’t exactly what I was looking for. After searching through the store, I found a frame that I liked and a kitchen towel set. Since purchasing both items last month, I used both items a lot. Even though my haul during my shopping trip wasn’t large, I am happy with the items I purchased!

Every holiday season, Rae Dunn releases new products. This Valentine’s Day, it is no different. What is different though, is I was able to find Rae Dunn decor at a new Home Goods store!

Nostalgia Holiday Mini Waffle Makers

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Recently, while browsing the holiday section of my local Walmart, I found they have holiday themed Nostalgia mini waffle makers. My local Walmart is in a rural area and has problems receiving stock due to the supply chain problems that affect everyone this holiday season. Because of this, when I saw the waffle makers, I was surprised. There were many waffle makers with different designs and it was well stocked.

Even though I wanted to buy all of them, I know it was impossible to put into storage and I really don’t need to own that many waffle makers. Especially with my current living situation. Despite this, my friends are looking for them and would love to buy them. I took photographs of them to show my friends, but I also wanted to share the photographs in a post during Blogmas.

Cuisinart 15 Inch Stainless Steel Roaster Review

Published on by essieofwho1 Comment

It’s November, which means the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays are coming soon. Since it’s a pretty chaotic time of the year, I wanted to get ready for the holiday season before it arrives. One of the important things I need to do before the holidays is find some new cooking utensils and supplies before it’s too late to get the item in the mail or they are out of stock in store. The first item I needed to buy is a new roaster pan.

I usually use a disposable roaster pan, but after years of putting up with the flimsy pans and the increase of price, I finally had enough. After doing some searching for a new pan, I found the Cuisinart 15 Inch Stainless Steel Roaster With Non-Stick Rack for sale on Target’s website. I purchased it and wanted to talk about it in case anyone is interested in buying the pan or is looking for a pan similar to it. Continue reading “Cuisinart 15 Inch Stainless Steel Roaster Review” →

5 Picky Things I Do in the Kitchen to Make My Life Easier

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Recently, while washing dishes, I realized I reached for certain things in the kitchen instinctively. I realized this because, when I reached for something, it wasn’t there and I began to panic. Since I depend on certain things in certain places, I realized how picky I am about the placement of those items. Although I’m not picky about the placement of everything in my house, when it comes to the kitchen, I needed certain items fast and in the right place so I won’t burn my food while looking for a certain item.

Even though everyone sets up their kitchen in the way that works best for them, here are five things I do and set my kitchen up that will work best for me.
