What is all about?
During our travels, we’ve been part of various households in different places, and that, in itself, is very fascinating. I’ve always been curious about the different hacks that homemakers or DIY masters use in their everyday lives. For me, it’s genuinely intriguing, for example, how people in different corners of the earth wash their dishes or how they store their garden produce. Or what they use for cleaning. Or what and how they take care of the fur of their furry companions.
It’s genuinely fascinating, and believe me, everyone has their own trick for it 🙂
This category was created precisely so we could share these hacks with you. And who knows, maybe we’ll discover some universal secret for spotless dishes or exceptionally well-groomed pets!
Discoveries for Pet Parents in the Kitchen
Aarke - Carbonator
I fell in love with this bubble-making miracle on the very first day. And as soon as I got back home to Prague, I bought one for myself too :). Water prepared this way tastes amazing, and besides, this Aarke carbonator is a superior piece of design. It looks luxurious, is made from high-quality and sturdy materials, easy to operate, and came in incredibly beautiful packaging
Air Fryer TurboBlaze
For those who haven’t tried it yet, this is the ideal way to cook healthily and relatively quickly. We used it extensively, and some days, it even saved us from hunger and the hassle of lengthy meal preparations.
Domestic Magic
Eletric wine opener
Well, what an amateur I am to discover that opening wine can be this easy just now? It’s like discovering hot water! Just place it, press the button, and voila! Wine opened without a fuss. Now I just hope I discover other revolutionary things in life, like how to cook pasta effortlessly.
Steam Cleaner
Well, we have to admit that sometimes a bad thing happens, whether it’s due to our own clumsiness or not, it’s always good to have a reliable stain remover at hand. Before this trip, I didn’t even know that something like that exists, and I must say, I’ve cleaned everything, even spilled wine :).
LED Lights for TV
I gotta say, their TV really pawsed me. While they had this feature built into their TV from the start, for those of us who already have our TVs and just wanna give ’em a little “pawgrade,” this is absolutely ideal. And the movie experience? Totally pawsome, like a whole new world!
Electric mop
Sooo, this is the first time I’ve ever used this, and I gotta say, it’s truly pawsome! For those who love squeaky-clean floors in a flash, this is definitely for you. I used it on floors, tiles—basically, it was quick and fur-iously effective!
Sonos Era 100 Wireless Speaker
This was probably my absolute favorite thing in the whole house. I gotta say, the homeowner had it all pawsitively sorted out, and there was this speaker in every room. Every single one! You could just hop from room to room and have your tunes follow you. Or, say you and your buddy wanna listen to different jams in your own rooms? Why not! Control it all from your phone, it’s super smart. But if you’re looking for a budget-friendly option, maybe give this one a shotcheaper one.
Pet Paradise Hacks
Hands Free Dog Leash
This was our everyday routine. Walks with such an active dog like Alta can be challenging sometimes, even for your hands. With this, you have everything under control, including your hands :).
Dog Deodorizing Spray
I must say, I’m old school and I didn’t realize that even pets can have their own beauty routine, and how important it is!! We used to groom and tidy up Mia maybe even twice a day, especially if the weather was bad, and that’s when you really appreciate a gem like this one. For a nicer scent and easy grooming.
Pet Carrier Backpack
We used this holder regularly with Mia. For example, when we were walking in crowded areas or taking the ferry. Or when we were in crowded city streets and didn’t want anyone to step on her paw accidentally. My parents use it for their dog when she’s tired (because she’s old) or simply when they go cycling… It’s really super convenient, and we love it!
Eye Cleaner
For owners of long-haired dogs or simply dogs with tear stains on their fur, this is the solution. It really helped us clean Mia’s fur from tears, and we felt that Mia was also happy to have fresh and clean eyes all the time.
