Bioweaves 100% Organic Cotton Washcloths Review

We at Selected Text think it’s so important for everyone to be informed, educated consumers, and that includes the cotton products such as washcloths you’re using to scrub your face and body, as far out as that may seem to some people. We’ve heard so much about pesticides and non-organic chemical dyes on normal, every day washcloths, that we’ve decided to go down the organic cotton proverbial rabbit hole and test out just how much Read more…

Niche Zero review: the ultimate coffee grinder

Coffee aficionados everywhere swear by fresh ground coffee as part of their morning routine, and the Niche Zero grinder made me a believer as well.

Dyson V11 Animal

Dyson V11 Animal review

If we told you the Dyson V11 Animal is the best vacuum we’ve ever owned it probably wouldn’t be the first time you’ve heard that from a Dyson owner. This company really knows how to hit the ball so far out of the ballpark that people are basically begging them to take their money.

WiZ review: incredible Philips smart light bulb

Smart lighting is perhaps the most attainable piece in the connected home puzzle. It’s easy to install a lightbulb, sync it with an app, and start controlling part of your home with a smart assistant. The problem often lies in the price, as WiFi-enabled appliances require additional smarts that the normal flip-a-switch versions don’t need. Our Philips WiZ review takes a big step toward fixing that issue with their LED smart lightning solutions. Even if Read more…
