Experience

Jenica enjoys testing products at home that can withstand wear and tear in her busy household and loves making the most of her outdoor entertaining space. She's tested dozens of products, both inside and outside her home (and in our testing labs), including the Hampton Bay Piedmont 30 in. Steel Fire Pit for roasting marshmallows, the easy-to-install Derynome Solar Lantern Outdoor Mounted Lights, and artificial Christmas trees (no watering needed!). She is constantly searching for holiday decor and the best gifts for her family and friends, and in general, loves products that are versatile, durable, and time-saving.

An avid gardener, Jenica enjoys the challenges of growing a cottage-style garden in her own backyard that's durable enough for three energetic dogs and a forgetful waterer.
