We were flying home from Boston when I realized I had made a critical mistake: I’d lost my earbuds. Placed into a coat pocket, they probably fell out at some point during our travels. Without a backup pair, it was remedied by a cheap pair in-flight that sufficed, but ended up getting tangled up in the passenger next to me and yanked out a few times when said passenger fell asleep. Oh, the joys of air travel.

But what if that could be different?

After my travel mishap, I started looking into wireless earbud options that could cancel out background noise, hold a charge for a several hour long flight, and wouldn’t take up much space in my bag or require a special charging adapter. That’s when I discovered JLab Audio’s new line up of JBuds, available at Best Buy. Boasting the title of #1 best-selling true wireless earbud for less than $100, they claimed to offer great sound, high-quality fit, and comfort. 

But do they deliver? Today, I thought I’d share my thoughts in this JBuds review, and how they have helped improve my everyday work and travel! 

In celebration of National Disability Employment Awareness Month, I’m thrilled to share some of the work I’ve been doing in partnership with Northwest Center’s Styled for Success program. Since 1967, Northwest Center and Value Village have been partners in inclusion. This year, they have teamed up to give job seekers with disabilities confidence through personal styling for job interviews. It’s been an honor to be a part of Styled for Success by styling job seekers at local Value Village stores!

One of those job seekers, Jesse, was able to find the perfect interview clothing during Styled for Success. Jesse found the perfect fit in his interview outfit AND found a new job at Sky Nursery. Another job seeker, Mahal, also found the perfect interview clothing and a new job with Northwest Center Integrated Facility Services.

As the fall leaves begin to change color, I’m quickly transitioning into full-on autumn-mode. We just turned the heat on in our home, our front porch is decorated with mums and pumpkins galore, and our wardrobes are quickly changing from short sleeves to cozy sweaters. I’ve packed away my sandals for the year and lately have been craving comfortable sneakers and boots instead.

Just in time for fall, Dave and I are thrilled to partner with Clarks and Zappos to share how we’re creating sneakers outfit ideas for him and her! Clarks is one of our favorite shoe brands, and we love that they offer tons of stylish, comfortable options for him AND her. We loved styling spring and summer looks in our Clarks, and always purchase our shoes from Zappos! We love that Zappos offers fast, free shipping, a 365-day return policy, and world-class customer service!
