Jess Everyday Life

Hi Everyone! I thought with all the constant influence in today’s world to buy something new all day, everyday. I would make a post on what has lasted me a long time. Don’t get me wrong I love all the nerdy adult things (vacuums, couches, etc.) as much as the next person, but it’s not realistic to be buying a vacuum every month! I have listed a few products that have been my tried and true over the years. I hope you find this helpful 🙂

Shark Navigator Lift-Away Deluxe Upright Vacuum– this vacuum is the best! I bought it June of 2013 and it’s going strong almost 11 years later the only thing i’ve had to replace on it is the hose because it had a split in it (hence why the top part is purple lol). I do have a cordless vacuum and roomba which I use also for quick vacuuming or lazy vacuuming lol but the navigator gets the heavy duty work done especially since I have 2 berners who love to shed!

KitchenAid Classic 4.5qt Stand Mixer– This stand mixer has held up well over the past 10 years with no issues.

Women’s Shelbe Raschel Hoodie– I will say the jacket I linked here is the not the exact Northface jacket I own but looks similar. We have multiple Northface jackets and a few of them are older then 10 years and they look brand new still! They are on the pricey end but 100% worth the investment for a quality jacket.

OXO Smooth-Edge Can Opener– I’ve had this well over 10+ years and it has no issue opening cans to this day. Something so simple but I love it.

Herschel Little America Backpack– Herschel has done something right with their products because everything I have purchased from them is still going strong (and i’ve thrown them in the washer which I don’t think is recommended but sssshhh don’t tell). This backpack still looks and feels good from everything I have put it through! The one I linked I will say I think the inside of it is just black where when I bought this they had the stripes inside. I haven’t had this for 10 years but I had to mention it because it’s lasted me 8+ years. (Couldn’t find my backpack in the mess that is my basement lol but I have this herschel bag to show you what the lining looks like in my backpack).

Eagle Creek Pack-It Original Starter Set of 3 Packing Cubes– OMGOSH! I don’t care what your doing right now, go get these packing cubes! I’m serious! Again I haven’t had these for 10 years but have had them for 8+ years and they have been through the wash and 100’s of trips. They look new! Theres no pilling of the material, the netting part hasn’t ripped and no issues with the zippers. Why Eagle Creek stopped selling them on their site is beyond me but thankfully you can still get them on amazon. 110% worth the investment!

The Original Vidalia Chop Wizard– This is not the most aesthetic chopper like most things these days but I have had this for 15 years and it still works amazing! As much I want to buy one that has 80 different attachments this one keeps going and is good enough for me. 

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
