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
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)
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
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” 😬😂
🥰❤
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!!
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.
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💯
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 😂
My favorite thing about small softer ice is for my daily smoothies it blends SO much easier!
When you said "Costco Girl" 😂 it made me smile so much bcuz I love the relationship you and Drew have. 😍
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
Love it when a thrifted find makes it into a vid xoxo
my favorite sweatshirt EVER 🥰
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
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 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!
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!!
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 😂
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 🦘
thank you for your service finding an ice maker dupe 😭 this is now the only thing on my wish list for my birthday
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!
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!
My old office job had that ice maker! It was great since it made ice quickly and was fairly quiet and compact.
I LOVE THIS VIDEO! Thank you for giving us options based on our needs and budgets
thank you so much for the blanket dupe! i just ordered it cause i needed another blanket since i'm always so cold
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 ☺️
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 ❤️😂
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)
My fave type of video!!!!
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 love these types of videos please keep them coming!!
Love these types of videos! I definitely want the ice maker. I just don’t have the space for one.
YASSSS! Love these videos. Would love to see a small business vs. large corporation kinda version. Like the top tendy Dior Lip Oil and then the small business dupe. 💖
Love these videos!
this hair and makeup looks so good!
ahhh yes these are my fave videos!!
Love, love, love this video! Bought the blanket 😊
Carrie, you look so beautiful!! You’re literally glowing
these videos you do are simply my favourite :)
Love these videos❤
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'm actually really impressed with the coffee mug! Way more affordable and it comes with a lid!
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 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!
Your drink your coffee at 145f?! Unhinged haha
Great video Carrie xx
FIRST
LOVE U 🥹💓💓💓
Omg I love you for this. I've been thinking about that dang ice machine since your last video but there's no way I'd pay for the expensive one
Love your videos like this 🫶🏼 You should do one where you test two products (expensive & dupe) but don't know which is which (if possible). Maybe have Drew find/pick products and then cover any labels and see what your thoughts are on each before factoring in price. Harder to do, but just a fun idea ☺️
love my wally world mug!! a little smaller than i regularly have (venti/trenta sl*t) but having a hot cup for hours at home? love!
Dude! I bought those WYZE headphones you recommended as a dupe for the Apple ones. I've been on multiple international trips, and they are *chefs kiss* exactly what I needed.
So glad you got the Walmart one, I have had the copper one for a year and love it!!
I don't use the lid at all!
Thanks for this Carrie ❤
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.
The coffee mugs would make great teacher appreciation gifts!!!!
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 😆
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!
can you do more videos like this!?! love
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.
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!
I love my Simple Modern travel mug, it's a really good dupe for the Stanley Cup AND it doesn't leak
$20?...from where?..."Costco girl" 🤣..I died 😂
omg i have that same ice maker (different brand, bought at costco) and it slaps!
Love the shorter hair, so fresh
Being pregnant and anemic an instant ice maker was BEST thing that’s ever happened to me deff worth the money
Thank you for this! 💕
My fav UA-cam notification is a Carrie uploaded notification😭❤️
I just love your haircut so much!!!
I have that ice maker and it is great and makes ice quickly!
Into this series!
The Pendleton throw blankies from Costco are the best!
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! ☺️
Love ya carrie 💓
We have that same ice maker for camping. Works well enough for me.
not me curled up with the costco blanket while watching this 👁️👄👁️
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
Happpy Mothers Day Carrie's Mum!! (it is mothers day in Australia this Sunday).
Love this 🎉
My family has that bullet ice maker and it’s great. We’ve had it for a year and it works great. It also beeps to let you know it needs water.
Getting that blanket now 🏃♀️
Yes! I have that ice maker and it works just fine..I will literally make ice all night..it just needs a clear basket
does it keep the ice cubes frozen?
@@qq1651 no😂😂 when the the basket fills up I have to put the ice in a freezer baggie and in the freezer or the ice will melt back into the water and start all over again..I’d say the ice will last about an 45-1 hr with a full basket if u leave it tho
Oh my gosh! My mom got one of those blankets and its my favorite thing!
I feel like Carrie just sold a bunch of blankets.
okay but these nails are ✨✨✨
I know! Would love a tutorial or what polish/powder she uses! ❤
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.
Carrie!!!! Can you review Dressed in Lala ? It’s super expensive and I want to know if it’s worth the hype
My parents have that ice maker and my kids love it! 😂
Where is your brown and white checkered sweater from?! It’s so cute!
you wielding these scissors is sending me 🤣
the most chaotic energy 😂
i really appreciate this !! just another millennial werkin’ hard to pay the bills. i love a good dupe. thanks for sharing with us ☺️❤️
side note : i got a pendleton blanket dupe at costco for $24.99! same iconic design, giant af and very cozy 🎉
Ouuuuu I been waiting for this one!!! 💝🥹
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 😆
We got the Frigidaire countertop ice maker and love it! $100 and picked it up at Walmart.
Imagine pulling up to parties with your own nugget icemaker! EVERYBODY would be on that IMMEDIATELY 😂
Waait, did I miss your hair being cut?! It looks so good
Gret video, Carrie!!!!
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! :)
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 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!!! 😂
THOSE ICE CUBES SCARE ME
