Amanda Weir

• As a renter, Amanda is always looking for budget-savvy and rental-friendly methods to make the space her own, whether it's a well-placed boho rug to cover up questionable stains from renters' past or battery-operated wall sconces as a workaround to rental restrictions.
• She has a cherished container garden where she enjoys testing new container vegetables, herbs, and flower varieties. Does Burpee's Veranda Red Hybrid Tomato measure up to the Sweetheart Of the Patio variety? She's here to find out!
• She prioritizes natural and simplistic cleaning methods, which is why you'll find her pantry stocked with vinegar. When she's not using it as an ingredient in a homemade salad dressing, she's using it to establish the ideal vinegar/baking soda ratio to unclog a drain.
