New Video Alert: Testing Ice Gadgets! ❄️

I hope you're enjoying your Spring so far! I’ve been diving into some ice-related gadgets this week, which feels pretty appropriate as the temps will be hitting the 90s here in Las Vegas soon! In this edition, I’ve got a new video to share, a nostalgic flashback to an ice cream-themed review from 2019, and a few deals that caught my eye, including one item I still use six years later and another that’s under five bucks!

Let’s jump in…

NEW VIDEO ALERT 📽️
Testing Ice Gadgets!

🧊 My latest video is live, and this time I’m putting two chilly gadgets to the test: one shaped like a penguin and the other straight from your social feed!

Here’s what I tested:

🐧 Penguin Ice Shaver: A cute, hand-cranked ice maker with no electricity required. Surprisingly effective… but is it worth the effort?

🥶 Viral Ice Cup: This one reminded me of the Ice Genie I tested years ago. It’s been all over Instagram, but is it actually any better?

Click below to see these icy gadgets in action—and find out which one chilled me out and which one left me cold.

If you don’t have time to watch, you can always read the written version here.

DEALS 🏷️
🧹Shark Powered Lift-Away Vac: 22% Off

If you’ve followed me for a while, you know I’m a fan of Shark vacuums. So when one goes on sale, I try to spread the word. Right now, their Powered Lift-Away model is 22% off. That’s about $70 off the usual price. It’s a Limited Time Deal, so don’t be surprised if it jumps back up to $319 soon.

🔪 KitchenAid Peeler – 50% Off
I like to include deals across a range of price points, and this one’s under $5. It’s the same KitchenAid peeler I still use in my kitchen drawer, despite testing dozens of peelers over the years. At 50% off, this is an easy one to toss in your Amazon cart if your current peeler’s getting dull.

🦷 Waterpik – 40% Off
Most people dread the dentist, but I’m on a first-name basis with mine, and I still remember their office phone number by heart. This is the exact Waterpik model they recommended to me, and I paid more than the current sale price. These usually run close to $100, so 40% off makes this a solid deal worth considering.

Prevent foggy mirrors!
Rub a small amount of shaving cream on the mirror and wipe it clean before a hot shower.

ON THIS DATE 🗓️
Ice Cream Scoops (2019)

Since we’re already talking about ice-related gadgets, let’s take a quick trip back to a video I posted on this day in 2019, where I compared five different ice cream scoops.

The standout from that lineup? The $35 Midnight Scoop, a sleek, ergonomically designed scooper that had a lot to prove. And believe it or not, I still have it and still use it regularly… six years later!

If you missed that review (or just want to revisit it), today’s the perfect day to take another look!

SMART SHOPPING 🛒
Three Tips for Wiser Shopping

Use Military or Student Discounts (Even if You’re Not One): Some stores allow you to stack these discounts if someone in your household qualifies, or if you have an .edu or military email from past use.

Check for Credit Card Portal Bonuses: When shopping online, go through your credit card’s shopping portal (like Chase Ultimate Rewards or AmEx Offers) to earn higher cashback or points.

Sign Up for Alerts on Discontinued Items: If a product you love is being phased out, sign up for restock alerts or follow clearance sites. They often scoop up excess inventory at big discounts.
