My Unboxing Experience

I recently unboxed the Sienna Plug‑In Cold Air Diffuser, and I was so excited to try it out. The Sienna came with three scents: Waterfall, Retreat, and Luxe Garden, all beautifully packaged and ready to test. The whole setup felt high‑end and gift‑worthy, and I couldn’t wait to plug it in and see how it performed. Check out the video below to watch the full unboxing and hear my first impressions.

My Full Review

Once I started using the Sienna diffuser, I was surprised by how simple the whole process was. You just add your fragrance oil to the reservoir, plug it in, and you’re ready to go. There is oil involved, but the design makes it easy to pour and even easier to close securely. Nothing messy or complicated.

I was worried about the app since I’m technologically challenged, but it turned out to be incredibly user‑friendly. It synced right away and let me control the scent strength, set schedules, and adjust how much fragrance is released throughout the day. If you’ve ever been intimidated by smart home gadgets, this one is beginner‑friendly, and the scents are amazing!

• Waterfall is crisp and refreshing, like stepping into a cool breeze.

• Retreat feels calming and spa‑like — perfect for winding down.

• Luxe Garden is lush, floral, and elegant without being overpowering.

A little truly goes a long way. I was shocked that just one diffuser filled my entire 800‑square‑foot house with a fresh, clean scent. It wasn’t too strong, it wasn’t artificial, just a perfect, balanced fragrance that made the whole space feel brighter and more inviting.

Other things I loved:

• The oils last a long time because the diffuser uses them efficiently.

• The unit itself is sleek and modern, blending right into your décor.

• You can switch scents easily depending on your mood.

Dark Musicals Fan Art Spotlight

Every once in a while, a reader connects with a book series in a way that becomes part of its history. For the Dark Musicals Series, that reader is Stephanie Piro, one of the cartoonists behind Six Chicks and the creator of the book review blog The Militant Recommender. Stephanie is a lifelong Phantom of the Opera fan, and years ago she stumbled across Phantom, Book 1 of my series. She’s followed the books ever since, and for each installment she’s drawn a sketch of one of her favorite scenes.

I loved her artwork so much that I ended up writing her into the Dark Musicals world. The fictional Stephanie Piro appears in Haunted, where she plays a soap opera star who joins the cast of the Woman in White movie.

With the release of Phantom on audio, it felt like the perfect time to revisit Stephanie’s beautiful illustrations. Check out the slideshow below to see her interpretations of some of the most iconic moments in the series.

Be sure to visit Stephanie on her blog, The Militant Recommender, and explore more of her stunning artwork on the Six Chicks Facebook page.

Unclaimed Mail - Robo Dog & Mystery Cow

 Today my mom Maryann opened the last three boxes from my pallet of unclaimed mail, and she went out with a bang. At this point she has fully entered her main‑character era.

She started off strong with a robot dog. Then she pulled out what we thought were Skittles, only to discover the whole box stuffed with fashion necklaces which we didn't learn under after filming.

But the real star of the show was the cow statue. We were admiring it, trying to figure out if it was décor, a planter, or maybe just a paperweight. It wasn’t until later that we learned it was actually a liquor dispenser.

Between the robot dog, the surprise jewelry haul, and the cow that secretly moonlights as a bartender, this was peak return‑mail fun. If you want to relive more of her greatest hits, you can check out Maryann’s unclaimed‑mail moments or compare her to Fernando’s legendary reactions.

Phantom is Now Available on Audio!

Phantom, Dark Musicals Book 1, is now available on audio! Micaela Edman Harper delivers a performance that breathes new life into the characters more than a decade later. Revisit the series and see where the music and mystery began!

Rebecca has always been enchanted by the musical Phantom, but she never expected her life to turn into a chilling reflection of the story.

When her high school drama club chooses Phantom as their annual production, she lands the coveted lead, but stepping into Christine’s shoes comes with more than just stage lights and romance. She finds herself torn between two co-stars—Tom, the golden-boy athlete playing the dashing hero, and Justyn, the enigmatic Goth who is almost too convincing as the tortured Phantom.

As rehearsals begin, the drama doesn't stay onstage. Curtains fall, mirrors shatter, and chilling messages echo lines from the script. Is Justyn slipping too far into character, or is the real villain hiding behind another mask? With opening night fast approaching, Rebecca must uncover the truth before the final act turns deadly.

The stage is set. The Phantom is real. And he’s closer than she ever imagined.

Magick Souls Review — Crystal Mystery Box

If you’ve been following my crystal hauls, you already know I’m obsessed with Magick Souls, and their Real Crystal Mystery Box just took things to a whole new level. This isn’t your starter scoop or a cute sample. This is the box has higher‑quality crystals worthy of being put on display

Magick Souls hand‑assembles each box from the same inventory they sell individually, which means you’re getting pieces you’d normally pay full price for. No filler, no resin, no plastic. These are genuine crystals and minerals chosen with intention. Each box includes 8–14 pieces, a mix of tumbled, rough, shaped, clusters, points, jewelry, or even rare specimens. The value always exceeds the $49.99 price tag, plus free U.S. shipping.

What I Got in My Box

My box was absolutely gorgeous. I received a beautiful mix of polished and raw stones, including:

• Clear quartz points

• Selenite

• Amethys

• Labradorite

• A handful of polished stones in rich colors and smooth finishes

• A striking metal winged serpent piece

This was a collector’s box, and it showed. Check out my video below to see everything that was inside and be sure to check out their website to see all they have to offer.
