This blender is incredible. It might be the first truly well-made, grown-up kitchen appliance I have owned and I am so impressed. It has little suction cups on the bottom that keep it firmly in place while it does some serious blending. We use it for everything from smoothies (the smoothie cups it comes with are a hit with my kids) to mixing dough for bread and more. It is a great investment and absolutely worth it.

This is my coffee maker. If you love lattes like I do, definitely get the frother. I’ve been making iced lattes every morning this summer and I seriously wake up looking forward to them.

Just a heads-up, this machine does not take regular ground coffee, so you’ll need to plan to buy the pods. My favorite pod flavors are Odacio (blue) for regular coffee and Double Espresso Scurro (brown) for espresso/lattes.

I’m a sucker for pretty appliances, and since this one lives on the counter, I love that it actually looks good. We have the grayish color, which blends in perfectly with our kitchen. It works really well and is such a great price for a combo air fryer and toaster. We use it constantly—definitely one of those practical but still fun purchases.

This is my second purchase from the Beautiful brand, and I already know it won’t be my last. We have the oyster gray color, and it’s gorgeous. The slow cooker works exactly like it should—but it’s also just so pretty. I love bringing it along for potlucks because it actually looks good sitting out.
