The Daisy Field

I  was so pleased to be picked for a Groupe SEB VoxBox through Influenster .  Groupe SEB is a large French consortium that produces small appliances and they are the world's largest manufacturer of cookware, some names you may recognize are Lagostina, All-Clad, Krups, Moulinex and T-Fal. I waited in anticipation to see which product I would receive to review and was pleasantly surprised to receive the T-Fal Triple Basket Deep Fryer.    While I did receive this product free of charge to review, my honest review of the product is below. The packaging was simple and contained 11 pieces: The outer holder, the removable oil basin, a removable heating coil, a magnetic plug, 1 large fry basket, 2 small fry baskets, 3 basket handles and the safety cover with window.    I think it took me longer to set up my wing station than it did to unpack and set up the fryer! The removable heating coil allows you to put nearly every other piece of the machine in the dishwasher which is great!

 If you follow me on FB you will know that I am currently struggling with a long bout of insomnia. This is not unusual for me, I have always had small challenges with sleep, but generally, they only last for a few days or so and then go away.   Often brought on by heat, congestion or some other environmental agent. For the most part, I fall asleep quickly, stay asleep most of the night, but if I do get up I usually fall right back asleep and then I wake just before my alarm.  I mean honestly, I can fall asleep pretty much anywhere meetings, sitting up, Skytrain, riding in the car (even while driving right Jenn? - Thank god for rumple strips!)....hmmmm Maybe I have more problems with sleep than I think LOL Anyhoooo..... I am always on the hunt for the thing that will help me sleep best, and right now nothing is doing the trick!!!  I have tried no screens before bed, no water before bed, melatonin, valerian root, cold medication, meditation, white noise, ocean noise and even sleeping in

Spoiler - I love them!!!! Just a warning….this post is about periods and talks frankly about period-related information   so now is the time to leave if that makes you squeamish LOL. As many of you know I have struggled greatly with my periods (FOREVER) but I have been pretty vocal about it for the last 5 or 6 years.    I was diagnosed with an ovarian cyst and underwent surgery which revealed significant stage 4 endometriosis (Frozen Pelvis).   The surgery was somewhat successful and if you want to read the gory details you can find them Here It is hard to believe that it has been almost 2 years and things went really well at first and now appear to be heading back in the other direction…..who knows, it will have to, unfortunately, get way worse before they will do anything about it.    This is stupid because I would just rather they took it all out and let me be. Anywhoooo….let’s get down to why we are here….let me spill the tea since my body was spilling everywhere (hahah see
