I like the idea of an ember mug, but I also love rotating through my collection of like 40 fun-designed mugs. So maybe I just need a tabletop warmer
I have a mug warmer in every room. They’re cheap and they double as a candle warmer. Highly recommend!
Yes. I have so many mugs. I need a warmer
Carrie.. I love how frequently you upload. You clearly care about your channel. Your hard work is not going unnoticed!
this is SO KIND 🥺💞 thank you so much!!
Where is the brown checkered sweater from??? It’s sooooo cute!
absolutely no one: ...
Carrie: chews ice like a psychopath XD
I want to buy that ice maker just to put coolaid in it to make bite sized Popsicles in the summer
Per capita, Canada uses the most ice in the world. Nerd fact.
Your GE ice maker broke when you first got it.
that was best buy's mistake - they sold us an open box one that was broken 😡 luckily they replaced it and it's been working great for months now!
Thank you so much for this! Not everyone is willing to pay extra for a little brand name on their product, and it's great to see this type of content in a longer-video and not the typical 30 second tiktok
If you do another one of these, Shark makes a Dyson Airwrap dupe that I’m super curious about 😅
I’ve had a shark since January and I looove it
I love mine!
I spent so long debating and I bought the shark in January. I LOVE it. I have curly hair and the diffuser is epic but I can also get my hair perfectly straight when I feel like it. I’ve messed around with the curl attachments and the only thing I will say is I wish they were slightly narrower because they definitely drop (but from what I’ve seen- so do the Dyson) all in all I was dubious, but honestly I’m so happy I bought the shark instead of the Dyson. Oh and beware- their advertising is ruthless. Like I’ve bought it. I went in the website maybe twice six months ago and I still get it pushed at me. (Yea I know. Clean my cookies)
FIRST
LOVE U 🥹💓💓💓
Carrie: if it's not burning my mouth I don't want it...
Also Carrie: everything is better with ice in it.
😂🤣 Love this
hot coffee = very hot
cold drinks = very cold
those are just the rules
I'm exactly the same! And my bf makes fun of me for it lol
Since you asked for questions….my main reason for wanting to buy a personal ice maker like these is because I actively dislike the flavor of refrigerator-made ice. At our house or anyone else’s, the refrigerator-made ice tastes kinda wonky. I LOVE the clean, clear flavor of professional bag ice. Please share your opinion on the taste of this dupe ice maker’s ice! Thanks a million, Carrie! ❤️🙂
I FEEL YOU on this!!! We use distilled water in our Opal ice maker and that makes such a difference. If you bought the dupe and used distilled water, I think it would absolutely would get rid of that "fridge ice" taste!
Carrie, you are my hero for this reply! I never even THOUGHT about using distilled water! I have a feeling I will be looking into purchasing this dupe, so thanks a million❣️🙂
Hi! I find refrigerator ice to taste bad too when I make it in a tray without a lid, but with a lid it tastes good 😊
I have an LG ice maker and we just use brita filtered tap water . I also hate the fridge maker ice taste and the Brita definitely eliminates that.
Could you test different memberships, please? :) Like Calm app, orange theory or any other well being membership? I want to work on my mental and physical wellbeing but not sure which memberships are worth the money. Thanks!
As a Mom who never gets to fully enjoy a cup of hot coffee.. that mug seems like a GREAT deal ❤ thank you for making this video, because I did not want to shell out the big bucks for the Ember mug.
I’m such a Carrie Stan, this video started on auto play, and I was like “oh is this a new vid? Oh it is cuz that’s the hoodie she just thrifted in Japan” 😬😂
🥰❤
I bought the same ice maker(mint green) off Amazon and love it! It has saved us so much money from buying bags of ice for coolers. Definitely worth the money💯
Both blankets are variables and the barefoot dreams is control group, Costco is experimental group. Either way, you’ve just convinced me to go buy the Costco blanket and the mug 😍
Typically it's control and treatment groups (both part of an experiment) 😊
I found the blanket for $8.00 at Costco today
If you want PIPING hot coffee for hours and hours and hours you should get a yeti tumbler! I LOVE mine (10oz). I use it daily and it was only $20. It might just change your life!!!!
I have a thermos that literally keeps my coffee piping hot forever I’ve left it in the car for hours forgot and went back and it was still hot ❤️😂
French girl here and I won’t make fun of you for loving ice, I dream of an ice machine 😍 i actually checked Amazon after watching your video haha but my husband does not seem very convinced yet 😂
Carrie, I feel you on the love of ice cold drinks! It is totally an American thing, but I 100% agree cold drinks taste way better icy cold, including water!
I feel like Carrie just sold a bunch of blankets.
My favorite thing about small softer ice is for my daily smoothies it blends SO much easier!
Your drink your coffee at 145f?! Unhinged haha
Great video Carrie xx
When you said "Costco Girl" 😂 it made me smile so much bcuz I love the relationship you and Drew have. 😍
Your eyes are poppin and your skin is glowing
EXCUSE ME i adore u and you are my makeup/skin goddess this is the ultimate compliment
I have that exact ice maker and here are a few thoughts to share for anyone who might be thinking of buying it:
1. The ice in the machine does melt. So it often sticks together and some pieces end up smaller/thinner especially at the bottom.
2.There is a sensor at the top that let's the machine know if it needs to make more ice. Because the ice melts it stacks up and blocks the sensor making the machine think the ice basket is full when it is actually only half full. So when you wake up in the morning you're only gonna get one glass full of ice.)
3. If you are more than 2 to a household this will not produce enough ice for you. Luckily it's just my husband and I who want ice but when we sit down to eat I find that it only fills two glasses. (This is if you constantly are adjusting the ice through out the day so that the sensor is not being covered.)
4. I find myself having to fill the water tank 1-2 times daily depending on how much we use it.
Overall i still enjoy having this machine as we were buying bags of ice from the gas station weekly. But if you're looking to long term use and the ultimate bang for your buck then i would probably suggest spending money for the opal. Especially if you like the nugget/pebble form.
I have the a very similar machine and I love it! I run it for a few hours every like two weeks and fill out a few silicone bags and keep those on the freexzer. I kept forgetting to make the ice so having some ready in the freezer has been game charger
I have been using the bullet ice maker for about a year now. I rent, and my refrigerator doesn’t have an ice machine so it’s been great! I got a container for my freezer so I can make a bunch of ice and then turn the machine off.
I am admittedly not an ice girlie myself, but my husband is definitely the type of person that very much wants ice in his drinks and we just never have cubes in the freezer. I might need to pick up this for him! Thanks for the review!
y'all saying the europeans would INVADE is killing me
Love these types of videos! I definitely want the ice maker. I just don’t have the space for one.
Love it when a thrifted find makes it into a vid xoxo
my favorite sweatshirt EVER 🥰
I've wanted an Ember Mug for the longest time (I can never finish a coffee while it's hot!) but that price was just too much for me! Enter Carrie and her IonMug review. Ordered it, used it, and I am as happy as can be!
As a Dutch person the ice thing is so funny. I know so many people, me included, that always ask for a drink WITHOUT ice. I realllyyy hate ice, too cold, waters it down, too much of a hastle...😂😂😂😂
It hurts our teeth and gives us pain in our stomach 😃
And if we do use ice in summer it's max. 3 peaces in our glass and not a huge bucket
of ice with a little coke in it.
So much ice will make your drink so watery and tasteless i would think.
I'm American and I'm not big on ice. I have an ice maker in my freezer and I mostly use the ice for ice baths for hard boiled eggs or blanched veggies...or an injury, I have a young child that likes to jump 🦘
Hearing you crunch ice 😬 I am apparently a typical European, makes me cringe when it bumps against my teeth even 😂
I just ordered 2 of the blankets (only 19.97 right now!!) and the nonmember surcharge is only 5% which was $2 for the two blankets.
What did you think of them? I just ordered my sister one and it was only $10. Hopefully it's the same thing lol
My old office job had that ice maker! It was great since it made ice quickly and was fairly quiet and compact.
If your not picky over the shape of ice, the one from costco is great!!
What is the shape of the costco one?
I have a similar ice maker and love it. The best part besides being able to put ice in all of my water bottles, my cat finds it magical 😂
thank you so much for the blanket dupe! i just ordered it cause i needed another blanket since i'm always so cold
$20?...from where?..."Costco girl" 🤣..I died 😂
thank you for your service finding an ice maker dupe 😭 this is now the only thing on my wish list for my birthday
Our ice maker (ordered from Amazon in Germany) is much like that one and makes those same shapes - bullets? I LOVE how soft the ice is!
omg my family has had that ice machine for our cottage for years and years and i remember my brother and i as kids just always sticking our pinkies into the holes of the ice and eating them like that LOL so this brought me so much joy and memories (we've also had the same ice maker for like probably ten years so the quality IS there when you don't get a broken one LMAO)
Hey Carrie! Would you mind starting to post outfit details of main channel and vlogs in the description box? Your clothes are always so cute!
We have great tasting tap water in the Netherlands and can make ice cubes in a bag or covered tray, so it still tastes nice. But...we rarely use that much ice in a drink. Also, we don't carry iced drinks around. It's not really a thing.
I have the Costco blanket and it is my absolute fav however it gets holes REALLY easily
The thick fuzzy Costco blanket is my fave idk if they have it by you but it’s been at the front of my Costco for months I have 2 of them cause I love it so much it’s not the one she had in the vid
I got that ice maker from Goodwill the other day for $15! I love it so much and can't wait to use it in the summer
I commented this on your last video, but I would love to see you review ALO yoga items! Especially the sports bras and leggings and maybe more lounge type pieces. Lol so basically all of it!!! 😂
I just use ice cube trays in the freezer 🤔
Being pregnant and anemic an instant ice maker was BEST thing that’s ever happened to me deff worth the money
My husband bought me the ion mug a couple years ago, because I’m a mom so I don’t typically get to sit and drink my coffee while it’s hot. 😉 I’ve used it on and off for the last couple years and it works well. When I saw the Ember mug go viral, I was confused because mine was $30 and just as good.
Also, there’s a dupe for the Barefoot blankets at Walmart as well. It’s $25 and they come in cream, Grey and even the similar leopard pattern BF has.
Can you tell us what the blanket is called? 😊
Also very curious what it's called?? Super interested!
@@ninimartinixo It’s called the Cozy Knit Throw by Better Homes & Garden. They carry them in store but they’re also available online in multiple colors. ☺️
@@christinalambert6213 ^^ Here you go! ☺️
not me curled up with the costco blanket while watching this 👁️👄👁️
I'd love to see you buy a dupe for the Airpod Max! I want a pair so bad but can't justify $770 CAD 😆
Love the shorter hair, so fresh
tiktok has made me want a ninja creami sooooo bad. but it's 250 (Canadian) dollars. I dont know if there is a dupe i have googled and cant find one but i would like a cheap version of that lol
As someone who has owned, not 1, not 2, but 3 of the "cheaper" ice machines, as well as now owning the opal ice maker...yes, the opal is expensive, but you can find it on sale for $450 a few times a year and after 4 years of owning 4 difference ice makers, it feels the most worth it. I got mine on super sale, which is still ridiculously over price. However, my other ice makers from amazon, the "cheaper ones" each lasted a year. Usually about a week after their warranty would end, they'd die. Plus, one of them, the most expensive that actually made nugget ice, was spitting out metal chunks when it started falling apart. So they money I spent on shitty, cheaper, ice makers could have just been saved and put towards the expensive one...
I bought a blanket from Costco, and I LOVE it!!! I wouldn’t spend 150$ either in any blanket!!!!! Lol
My Costco blankets are my fave
LOL I was not here for household items
Girl I thought this was makeup/clothing😂
Not sure if anyone has commented about this already…. But Nordstrom Rack (in person and online) always has certain patterns and colors of the Barefoot Dreams blanket marked way down! I got mine for $49! :)
That Costco blanket is AWESOME!!!! I ordered it right after I saw it on your channel. It was the best $19.99 I ever spent.
My mom just got the ember mug from my dad who was influenced by my brother in- law. The guys are excited about it, but we ladies love using all of our interesting, pretty ceramic mugs. I drink tea to use my pretty mugs ☺️
Carrie sorry to spam your insta! But I found a mickey mouse sweatshirt that looks like the vintage ones. I don't think it's vintage but I sent you a picture along with the size info on the tag. Let me know if you want it!
Also sorry long time lurker, I don't usually comment 😅😅😅 but your videos get me through the bad days!! ❤
I love my Simple Modern travel mug, it's a really good dupe for the Stanley Cup AND it doesn't leak
Carrie!!!! Can you review Dressed in Lala ? It’s super expensive and I want to know if it’s worth the hype
Curious about if the barefoot or the dupe blanket pills after washing? That’s my biggest fear idk
I still need to watch the first video. Started it after a stressful day and couldn't get past the first mug. I was crying that people pay that much when you can just drink your coffee when you make it lol. I needed sleep 🤦🏾♀️
I’m more amazed that it takes you 90 minutes to drink your coffee. The trick to keeping it hot is to down it in 5 minutes 😂
I just got the costco blanket online for $10 lol No membership free shipping
The reason I bought an ice maker is because my ice maker in my freezer broke and couldn’t be fixed😢
American here - GOTTA have the ice. I go to a specific pizza place just to get a cup of nugget ice!
Where is your brown and white checkered sweater from?! It’s so cute!
Got my dad the same ice maker for his birthday he absolutely loves it and has to redo it multiple times a day. Note he eats the ice and will put them in ziploc bags in the freezer when it fills up then proceeds to make more. Also he uses filtered water with it
My fave type of video!!!!
My roommate had that ice maker for ever and it was great! The only thing is, you should clean out where the water sits because it can get kinda gross
The ninja creami pleaseee
I WANT ONE SO BAD LOL
Carrie, I'm obsessed with that sweater and white overalls. Would you be able to provide links if possible?
thank you so much!! the overalls aren't available anymore, they're from old navy a few years ago but here's the sweater link! www.target.com/p/women--39-s-ascot---hart-graphic-sweater---brown-checkered-xxl/-/A-87266385
this whole classic casual look is amazing on you! I'm usually into avant garde/intense fashion but the whole combo is so cute on you!!
not me sitting on the couch watching this video with the costco blanket on my lap😅
This might be a weird question, but where is your couch from? 😅
omg i have that same ice maker (different brand, bought at costco) and it slaps!
I’d love to notice how quickly the ice melts and which one melted slower.
Costco blankets are the best I have 3 because my kids keep stealing them
Oh my gosh! My mom got one of those blankets and its my favorite thing!
The Pendleton throw blankies from Costco are the best!
I get it about your mom, I list my mom 4 years ago, today was a bad day,, I miss her so much.
As of right now, the blankets are in stock in all of the colors at Costco. $20 plus tax, with an additional $1 if you are not a member. Free shipping. My whole order came $22 and some change.
I found that blanket at Costco for 8.00 in store today
I'm actually really impressed with the coffee mug! Way more affordable and it comes with a lid!
What’s the hair tool you used to dry/straighten your hair??
What curling iron do you have because I need it 😂
Waait, did I miss your hair being cut?! It looks so good
The blanket is on sale for $10 right now.
I have a very similar model to the ice maker and I love it. We don't leave it plugged in all the time, we just fill up a ziploc bag once a week and it only takes a few hours. Definitely worth it!
Lol Drew the blankie tester
Costco gurl😂
I’m sorry, but I LOVE my Ember mug! 😅
this hair and makeup looks so good!
I have this great thermos that keeps my tea/coffee hot for as much as 6 hours! As a uni student this is game-changing! Best purchase if my life 😆
can you do more videos like this!?! love
I have the Sam’s Club version of the barefoot dreams blanket, and a brand name barefoot dreams blanket, and I like my Sam’s club one better lol it’s bigger than the barefoot dreams one
I have a Sam's membership, can you tell me which blanket?
