From laundry and cozy nights at home to the inevitable “hangry” snack attack, fall is the perfect time for a little refresh. LifeMinute’s lifestyle expert and editor-in-chief Joann Butler shares three of her favorite finds designed to make everyday routines easier, cozier and a little more delicious.
First up is the LG WashTower, a space-saving laundry solution recognized by Consumer Reports for appliance reliability for seven years in a row. The streamlined vertical design combines a full-size washer and dryer in one unit, helping save valuable space without sacrificing capacity.
Built-in LG ThinQ AI helps detect and select optimal settings, taking much of the guesswork out of laundry from start to finish. Large loads get the right care with less effort, the controls are conveniently positioned, and ThinQ lets users manage laundry remotely with smart features backed by LG’s reputation for reliable appliances.
For fall hosting, cozy nights in and cold-and-flu season, Butler also reaches for Lysol Air Sanitizer. “It’s a must-have essential at my house — and actually here at the studio too,” Butler says.
Lysol Air Sanitizer helps sanitize the air, eliminates odors, and kills 99.9% of odor-causing bacteria in the air.* For the season, Butler is loving the limited-edition Apple Cinnamon and Winter Woods scents.
Apple Cinnamon blends crisp apple with warm cinnamon notes for a classic fall feel, while Winter Woods features fresh pine and subtle wood notes that are perfect for colder days. Because the seasonal scents are limited edition, now is the time to grab them. They can be found at major U.S. retailers including Walmart, Target and Kroger.
And no fall refresh would be complete without snacks. TAST!EZ has added Flavor-Fulls to its frozen snack lineup, giving busy families and snack lovers an easy option that Butler says is perfect when you’re “hangry.” Flavor-Fulls are crispy on the outside and hot and melty on the inside, with cheese and sauce-filled centers. The sauce is built directly into the snack, so there’s no extra prep and no dip required.
Ready in just minutes in the air fryer or oven, they’re designed to fit easily into a busy routine while still delivering a warm, satisfying snack. Flavor-Fulls come in three varieties: Mini Marinara Mozzarella Sticks, Mini Creamy Garlic Mozzarella Sticks and Cheddar & Bacon Potato Bites.
They’re available in the frozen snack aisle at select retailers nationwide, including Walmart and Wakefern, for about $4.99. Shoppers can also find nearby availability using the product locator at TAST!EZ.com.
From smarter laundry to cozy seasonal scents and easy snacks, these fall refresh picks are all about one thing: making everyday life a little easier.
