About Us
Our Story
We come from diverse backgrounds – I’m from Malaysia, and Samantha is from Brunei. In 2018, the both of us came to the UK to further our university studies and now, as young professionals, we continue to call it our home. Over the years, our journey through multiple accommodations during university has taught us the art of optimizing small spaces, making them cozy and efficient.
Our Passion
Jefferson
With a background in mechanical engineering, I have a natural inclination towards optimizing spaces. My focus is on making the bedroom and living room as functional as possible. I believe that a well-organized, clutter-free environment enhances both comfort and productivity. My goal is to find and review products that not only maximize space but also add a touch of coziness and aesthetic appeal.
Samantha
I have a deep love for the kitchen, where I spend countless hours cooking and baking. Over the years, I have discovered numerous products that keep the kitchen tidy and efficient, making my culinary adventures more enjoyable. From innovative kitchen gadgets to clever organizers, I aim to share my insights and help others find products that enhance their cooking experience.
Our Mission
As internationals living in the UK, we consider ourselves thrifty spenders. We have a knack for finding product gems that offer great value for money, often at discounted prices. Our mission with this website is to help others like us – whether you’re a student, a young professional, or anyone looking to turn their house into a home. We review and recommend products that improve functionality, reduce clutter, and enhance the overall aesthetic of your living spaces.
Our Blog
On our blog, you’ll find reviews and recommendations for a wide range of home products. From kitchenware and useful organizers to aesthetic decor and home improvement tools, we cover it all. Our reviews are based on our personal experiences, feedback from friends and family who have tested these products, or generally just useful and value-adding finds for your home.
We also love hosting guests and believe that a well-equipped home can make a significant difference in how comfortable and enjoyable your space is for visitors. Whether you’re looking to optimize your living room, bedroom, kitchen, patio, or garden, we’re here to guide you towards the best finds.
