Overwhelmed by hundreds of choices? Don't have time to read reviews? Tired of wasting money on meh products? Let me do the legwork so you can shop with confidence.

​

Hi, my name is Zuzka and I spend a ridiculous amount of time researching products before I buy them. I do this for most everyday items, big or small, because I really, really want the products to deliver on functionality, quality and design. And since I like to research products and have also worked in the housewares business, I have been a 'go-to' person for my friends and family when it comes to product recommendations.

​

So here are my THREE PROMISES to you:

I buy it, I try it. I use it, or lose it.

​

The products that I recommend are not only things that I need or want. They are things that I own and use. Unlike other affiliates & influencers, I don't want you to shop till you drop, or get wooed into buying things that don't serve you. I simply want to be your trusty resource - just like I have been for years for my friends and family.

​

I am transparent about what I own or don't.

All the product that I own and love will showcase a ribbon that says "Own & Love". I still stand behind the other products listed on my website: I simply may not have them around, or owned them in the past, or purchased them as gifts. Some of them are simply on my own wish list and I am so excited about them I don't want to wait to share with you! You will always know where I stand. I write notes about each product to help you make informed decision.

​

WYSIWYG

What you see is what you get - here and on social media. I don't pretend to show things that are untrue. I won't show you designer home in the background, since I don't own one. I won't look like a model each time because that is not me in real life. Instead, I focus on saving you time by cutting through the clutter of products and share the ones that make sense and deliver and tell you why. That way you can shop faster and with more confidence. I give you my genuine commitment to authenticity and transparency.
