Topquilt Review: Making camping more comfortable

Since I moved out to B.C. I have been enjoying the great outdoors. I mean with the mountains and the ocean, how could you not want to be outside. Along with my new found love of exploring, has come a passion for camping. Before moving out west, I had never camped in my life and so I will admit it was hard at first. Learning how to pitch a tent, eating food out of a bag, going to the bathroom outside, packing light, and finding the right equipment.

One of the hardest parts was finding the right sleeping gear that would make the experience comfortable and enjoyable, but that was also easy and light to carry. I am a 29 year old female who is still relatively new to camping and hiking. The thought of carrying a heavy bag up the mountain petrified me. So I reached out to some experienced hikers, and some had recommended gear from Outdoor Vitals. I was pretty impressed with their selection, and decided to give their topquilt sleeping back a try.

After doing a bit of research, I found out that the founder of the company had one goal in mind, to lighten his pack and stay comfortable while in the backcountry. I trusted this brand right away because it came from someone that understood what camping is like and has experienced the difficulties of camping first hand. I knew this product was coming from someone who really understood camping and was excited to give it a try.

About Topquilt

This weekend, I took it on my first camping trip to Bowen Island and I really did love this sleeping bag. The three best features for me was the fact that it was super light but also durable, it was waterproof and comfortable, and that it could be used for multi purposes.

Extra lightweight

What I learned was hat this sleeping bag was actually originally designed as as hammock with an under quilt to cut the weight. It was extremely light and didn’t make my bag extra heavy. I was able to carry it up the mountain with ease and didn’t really have to stop for any breaks. It was also very compatible and easy to pack in my backpack.

Feels like a down

The second part that I loved was that it was really comfortable. As someone who definitely enjoys my down comforter at home, I had found it tough in the past to get a good night sleep while camping. From the noises of nature, to sleeping on the ground. What I loved about this sleeping bag, was despite it being really light weight, it is a pretty thick to sleep in. The company uses exclusive LoftTek imitation down that acts like an insulation. This is lighter and more compressible, but is still able to insulate even when wet because of the synthetic insulation. No matter what the weather is outside, stay warm, dry, and comfortable even when you are in the middle of the forest.

Since the camping trip, I have found so many other uses for the Topquilt sleeping bag. I take it with me to relax on the beach, for outdoor concerts and festivals, and for cottage weekends. It is so much more than just a sleeping bag for camping trips.

Now for the best part, if you use my Outdoor Vital code, you can get 10% off your order of a TopQuilt sleeping bag today. Just head over to their website and use the code “MIAWGORDON” at checkout and make your camping experience so much more enjoyable.

Get outside and enjoy the summer in comfort with the Topquilt sleeping bag. I know that mine will be getting plenty of use camping around beautiful B.C. over the next few months. I cannot wait to see what else there is to see, explore, discover in my new home.

Happy traveling my friends,

How Priority Pass makes travelling a breeze

I used to dread the airport. Long lines, long waits, uncomfortable seating, and loud talkers had me on edge, but I wasn’t an elite status member for any airline, and I wasn’t willing to pay the high prices to sit in first class lounges.

That was when another frequent flyer friend let me know about Priority Pass, the largest independent airport lounge access program in the world. The prestigious program was just what I was looking for. The lounge creates a comfortable, a quite getaway in the middle of all the airport chaos.

My partner and I are quite different. He is a whiz in the kitchen, I am a whiz at ordering take out. He keeps our house spotless, I bring a storm of a mess into every room I enter. He loves a good BBQ, and well, I define myself as a cute-aterian (don’t ask questions). So when it came time to find the perfect gift for his 30th birthday, I was lost.

Cleaning products? A cook book? um.. no. Through my hours of searching, I came across Carnivore Club and was intrigued to find out more about the product.

Product Love: Smile Brilliant

“Smile, it’s the key that fits the lock of everybody’s heart” – Anthony J. D’Angelo

I brush my teeth daily with whitening tooth paste, floss on the regular, and have even used white strips in the past, but nothing seems to last when it comes to keeping my teeth pearly white. Everything that I have tried so far has been an expensive temporary fix against red wine, berries, and coffee. I will sometimes look back at pictures or videos and literally cringe at how yellow my teeth look. Pretty embarrassing especially when it is part of your job to be looking your best on camera. I was on the search for a more permanent fix, and that is when I came across Smile Brilliant.

The Process

Smile Brilliant is the #1 dentist recommended teeth whitening method. It is basically an at home dentist. They create a customized professional whitening system. The Smile Brilliant team sends you a teeth whitening kit. You make your own teeth impressions and then mail it back to them to create the trays. By doing so, they insure that every single tooth is covered by their whitening gel. Once the trays are returned you start the whitening process. It takes on average seven to 14 days to start notice a difference in the smile.

I have now been using Smile Brilliant for about a week and a half, and I have already noticed a drastic difference. My teeth are clearly whiter and brighter. I haven’t really noticed any sensitivity in my teeth. Overall, I just have a lot more confidence when it comes to smiling in pictures and in front of the camera.

The Before

The After

Deal of the Day

The part I love most about Smile Brilliant is that it is affordable. While dentists can charge more than $500 for a teeth whitening service, Smile Brilliant is between $139-$169 depending on your teeth stains. But on top of that, you can get an extra 15% off by using the promo code “MIAWGORDON”. Just click on this link and getting whiter teeth my friends;

Product Love: QLYX

My name is Mia Gordon and I am directionally challenged. Maps make zero sense to me, and I couldn’t tell you North from West if my life depended on it. Because of work I have to drive a lot. From games, to interviews, to different radio and T.V stations. Since my GPS can never find a single or always needs a map update, I am relying on my phone to get me to where I need to go.

In the past, I would leave my phone on my passenger seat in hopes that the computer voice giving my directions would speak to me early enough to make a left turn. It wasn’t the most successful way to go. That is when I discovered QLYX.

This magnetic phone mount for my car makes it easy to follow directions while staying hands free. Perfect for the directional impaired like myself. It fits right on my vent and makes it so easy to punch in addresses and follow given directions without any distractions.

I really love my experience with QLYX so far and after doing some more research I became even more impressed with this device. It is the first car wearable and smart mount for both iOS and Android phones meaning you can use it no matter what phone you have.

The QLYX is also extremely diverse. While I enjoy clipping it right on to my air vent, you can also put it on any flat surface and use it as an adhesive pad. I loved this aspect because when it is clipped to my air vent it never loses grip and falls down like my old GPS used to.

I was also extremely impressed at how strong the magnets of QLYX are. I always have a phone case on my phone since I always manage to drop it. Instead of having to take my case off so that it would stick to the device and then put it back on when I am leaving, it actually sticks right through the case.

The real kicker for me though was it has built in Bluetooth Low Energy module to connect to the phone and is able to auto launch my applications, meaning I don’t even have to use my hands to get to my map and it also helps me with traffic situations so that I can get to my final destination as easy as possible.

Aside from maps, it also opens up Apple and Google music, Uber, Waze, and Spotify to name a few must need apps so that way you can jam out to your tunes while following your route. It is also programmed to auto-launch another app only at the beginning of a session in order not to spam you with push notifications.

Stylish, simple, easy. Customize your colour, clip it on,a and go. Making using your phone without any distractions that much easier.

Want to give this awesome device a try? Well you can now order it for 15% off by following this link; https://dealspotr.com/go/IiRvq

Hands free driving just got a lot easier.
