Good to have for small apartment and family. It doesn't take too much space in your cabinet. It's good for small things to blend but not for very hood for things like smoothies.

This espresso machine really saves me a lot of time and money. I don't need to wait in line for Starbucks anymore. This machine can make standard or long espresso and cappuccino. I also use the milk froth to make my favorite drink London Fog. I highly recommend it!

I just bought two light bulbs last week and they work pretty well so far. It's easy to install and connect. It has all the different colors of lights and you can adjust the lightness of the bulb by either using the phone or voice assistant. It's compatible with Google Home and Alexa and Siri. Highly recommend this to everyone who wants to make their home smarter.

This has to be the cart for every small apartment in the city. I bought two carts for my small apartment and I was surprised by how helpful this is. I have one in the kitchen to put all my groceries and some kitchenware. When I need to cook, I just put them around me so I don't need to walk to get my foods. I also have one in my living room. My living room is small as well so I have one to put all my pens, stickers, books, and bullet journal. This doesn't take that much space in the living room. When I need to work on my bullet journal, I just move the cart to my desk so I don't need to walk back and forth to get things I need. This is helpful! Strongly recommend!

Very great standing desk! I usually sit on my desk but sometimes you just want to stand to work! This desk allows me to do so. You can adjust the height of the desk by rolling the crank handle. Although this is a manual standing desk, it's more affordable than those electronic standing desks. It's easy to assemble. You can buy tabletops in 2 different sizes. They are now offering the beige tabletop in IKEA. What I really like is the design. It feels very elegant to me while some standing desks with slightly higher prices feel pretty flimsy. I bought 2 desks for my family and we all like them!

My air fryer has 9 features including a convection oven, toast, roast, dehydrate, bake, etc. I use it for baking small stuff like sweet potatoes. It's just inconvenient to turn on my large kitchen oven to do it. I like my air fryer particularly because it's really bothering me when I need to deep fry but the air fryer saves me time and effort (and oil) to deep fry foods.

I bought this 5 years ago and not use it very often, BUT I recently go minimalism so I decided to not buy paper text-heavy books and use Kindle instead. This is really working. It's small so you don't feel this is a burden to carry or read. You can basically find every book you want on Amazon and read it on kindle. I really like their vocabulary checker feature since I'm not native speaker. Now I use it 7 days per week and I found myself re-love reading now!

I've tried some journal notebooks before but this one is the best. It's dotted, which gives you some references when drawing but it won't be too disturbing. The size of each page is great, not too small or too big to write down your thoughts. The quality of the paper is good and it won't make the ink pass through on each page. At the end of the notebook, they have a pocket for you. use the pocket to put my stickers that I may use when journaling. Anyway, after using this notebook, I can see myself dramatically increasing my frequency of writing bullet journal. Recommend this to every BUJO lover.

I bought this water fountain from Amazon. The price is higher than other water fountains but I have to say this is the best water fountains I've ever used. It's silent. I can barely hear the sound of flowing water. This version has two modes. The high-flux mode allows cat hairs to be pushed out from the surface of the water so cats wouldn't accidentally eat their hairs while drinking. It also has reminders to tell me when the water is below the lowest point, when the battery is almost out, and when is the time to change the filter. Most importantly, this water fountain makes my cat love drinking! He now drinks a lot of water each day. I'm pretty happy about this change and would like to recommend this water fountain to everyone who has pets.

Wyze camera is great! They are affordable for every family. I only use it to look after my cat remotely but some of my friends use it for security concerns. One of my friends had her dog attacked by one of her neighbors' dogs. Thanks for her Wyze Cams so they have the entire process recorded. Wyze Cams automatically record videos when they detect any incidents happening. And finally, my friend was able to obtain the evidence of her dog being attacked by the neighbor's dog.

They are great! I got my first pair of glasses from them but it turns out the focal point doesn't align with my eyes, so I felt very dizzy. I went back and asked for help. They figured out the problems in about 10 mins and ordered another pair of glasses for me to fix it up for free. The result was pretty good! I like the new pair of glasses.

Dr. James Swanson is definitely one of the best dentists in the Seattle area. I did fillings for 5 teeth and 1 wisdom teeth extraction at Dr. Swanson's place and the service was awesome! For the wisdom teeth removal, Dr. Swanson only spent around 1 minute to extract it after the anesthetic started to work. Every step he did was so professional and trustworthy. After extracting my wisdom teeth, I referred 2 friends immediately to Dr. Swanson because he is a really great dentist and I hope everyone who needs dental help can visit him. He offers affordable services for international students at UW, who purchase ISHIP insurance. The front desk was clear and transparent about how much they will charge you. STRONGLY RECOMMEND!

The front desk person there was pretty helpful. She helped me to check my insurance coverage for the contact and verify my prescription from another doctor. She communicated very effectively and responded in a short amount of time.

I used to work closely with Katie and I've seen her photos that she took for her customers. I really like her photography style. She is also a nice, diligent, and friendly photographer that respects customers' ideas. She also takes every customer seriously from communicating ideas, taking photos, to image editing. I personally believe she has the talent in photography and I would like to recommend her to everyone here!

I definitely love their escape rooms. They have 2 themes in the U District branch and I've tried both of them. It's fun and enjoyable. They have a tablet in each room to provide hints for some puzzles you need to solve during the game. They also have a walkie talkie so you can talk with the staff. They have discounts for UW students if you show them the Husky Card.

I took my cat to get vaccines and spayed at Companion Pet Clinic. For regular visits or getting vaccine shots, you don't need to make an appointment but just visit them directly (not sure if this has changed after the COVID 19 situation). To get spayed, you have to make an appointment first. I remember that they only do all surgeries on Thursday. They have pretty great service and the charges are fair enough so I'd recommend them for every pet owner.

The store is heaven that has all your need as an artist/craftsman. The officers are helpful whenever I need helps.
