Safer, Easier Grooming with the Deluxe LED Fogless Shower Mirror from ToiletTree

Safer, Easier Grooming with the Deluxe LED Fogless Shower Mirror from ToiletTree

Deluxe LED Fogless Shower Mirror from ToiletTree ProductsRegular readers of The Classy Chics will be familiar with ToiletTree Products, since we’ve featured many of their bathroom accessories and grooming aids over the years (click here to see past reviews). Today I’m pleased to tell you about the Deluxe LED Fogless Shower Mirror from ToiletTree Products.

This thoughtfully designed shatterproof mirror is at the top of ToiletTree Products’ line of fogless shower mirrors. What sets this model apart is its larger size and the ring of LED lights set inside the frame that illuminate the entire mirror when you need a little extra brightness to see what you’re doing (batteries are included).

Installing the Deluxe LED Fogless Shower Mirror is simple. Peel the protective backing from the double-sided waterproof tape on the back of shelf-bracket unit, carefully place the unit where you want it, and press it firmly against the clean shower wall. It adheres tightly, without damaging the surface.

You might be wondering how a shower mirror can be truly fogless. Well, it’s kind of genius. You just fill the reservoir behind the mirror with warm water, and that’s it! The warm water equalizes the temperature of the mirror with the air in the shower. Any water droplets on the mirror’s surface are easily removed by using the included squeegee, which stores neatly under the shelf. After your shower, you detach the mirror from the bracket and pour out the water.

My husband shaves his face and his head in the shower, and using the Deluxe LED Fogless Shower Mirror has improved both his experience and results. Being able to clearly see his reflection while he’s shaving has saved him from nicks and cuts as well as eliminating missed spots.

I think he likes the ToiletTree Shower Mirror more than he expected to. He was impressed that it really is fogless, and being able to light it up with the press of a button makes a big difference, too. He also likes the convenience of keeping his razor on the built-in shelf. He gives our new Deluxe LED Fogless Shower Mirror a big thumbs-up!

Obviously, I don’t shave my face or head, but I like using the mirror, too. Now that I can see what I’m doing, I can be more thorough with facial scrub, and I know I’m rinsing it off completely. Since I’m shorter than my husband, I simply tilt the easily adjustable Shower Mirror downward a bit, so the mirror works well for both of us.

This New Cookbook Is Just Peachy (in More Ways than One)

Don’t you just love a good cookbook? I sure do, and I’m loving Just Peachy by Belinda Smith-Sullivan (Gibbs Smith, May 2019). This lovely new cookbook is brimming with recipes I want to make, information I can use, personal stories that bring the food to

Steeped Coffee – A Great Cup of Coffee, Simple to Make

Steeped Coffee – A Great Cup of Coffee, Simple to Make

Steeped CoffeeImagine that you could make delicious, rich coffee as easily as you can make a cup of tea. Well, now you can! Steeped Coffee is artisan quality coffee in an environmentally friendly single-serving filter bag. Just pour hot water over the bag, dunk it a few times, let it steep for several minutes, and voila! You’ve got yourself a fresh brewed cup of coffee.

If you’re thinking this is just instant coffee in a tea bag, it’s most certainly not. Consider all the factors that go into making it work. Steeped Coffee’s CEO and founder, Josh Wilber, says “There’s a reason this hasn’t been done before. We had to innovate to account for a number of factors such as sourcing ethical and quality beans, getting the right grind size and density, maintaining the freshness of ground coffee, controlling the water permeability of the filter, and making sure everything we do is environmentally sustainable. Turns out there were a lot of challenges to overcome to make something this simple work.”

Steeped Coffee

And it does indeed work. For my review, I received “The Lineup” ten-pack box: Two each of Sunrise Blend light roast, California Blend medium roast, Odyssey Blend dark roast, Driftwood Blend French roast, and Eventide Decaf. Although all are delicious, my favorite is the Sunrise Blend, while my husband’s top pick is the Odyssey Blend. The five different varieties nicely represent the coffee spectrum, and it was fun to have the chance to try them all.

Making a cup of Steeped Coffee was simple, too. I just set my electric kettle to the “coffee” setting of 195°F, slowly poured the hot water over the Steeped Coffee bag in a cup, dunked the bag for the recommended 15 seconds or so to saturate the grounds, then let it steep for about 5 minutes. It’s really convenient, and it would be ideal for situations like camping or RVing, since all that’s required is a cup and a way to heat water.

The Steeped Coffee company sums it up this way: “This direct trade coffee, locally roasted in small batches, is precision ground, pre-measured in single servings, and comes in a special filter bag with a string and tag. Each portion is delivered in a fully compostable nitro sealed packet for freshness, essentially halting the coffee’s aging process so it’s like it was ground within moments.” In addition, Steeped Coffee is kosher, USDA Organic, GMO-free, and vegan.
