Ruggable Review from a Rug Snob (I Finally Tried One)
Look, I’ll just say it: I’m a rug snob. I love rugs and how they transform a room. I’m picky about designs, and I’m picky about how they feel underfoot. I’ve spent thousands on rugs, authentic wool rugs, and vintage rugs. I’ve also invested in mass-produced rugs from designers. So when Ruggable started showing up everywhere in my Instagram feed, I was skeptical. Machine-washable rugs? Sure, but at what cost?
I finally got one. And then another. So here’s my completely honest Ruggable review, rug snobbery and all.
What Are Ruggable Rugs?
If you found this post, I’m sure you’re familiar with Ruggable, known for its machine-washable rugs. The system works in two parts: a thin, printed rug cover and a grippy rug pad that stays on your floor. When the rug gets dirty (and it will, especially if you have kids or a kitchen), you just peel off the cover, toss it in your washing machine, and put it back. That’s it.
They come in many different sizes, from small accent rugs all the way up to 9×12 and even round rugs. The pattern selection is quite impressive. They have everything from neutral Moroccan-inspired designs to bold, colorful prints. They’re also available in different pile heights, including some flatter weaves and a few that mimic a thicker feel.
Ruggable rugs are made from a polyester blend, which is part of why they’re washable. They’re priced from around $100 on the lower end up to several hundred dollars for larger sizes.
Ruggable Review: Pros and Cons of Ruggable Washable Rugs
Let me break this down honestly, because there are real pros and cons here, and I think these will help you determine if a Ruggable rug is for you.
The Pros
They’re machine washable. This really does change things. It’s obviously the whole point, and it delivers. If you have kids, dogs, or a messy kitchen (hi, all three), being able to throw your rug in the wash is a game-changer. When I was testing our new Ruggable runner to see how it would look in our kitchen, I laid it over our wool one, and of course, that’s when a red wine spill happened. The wine came out of the Ruggable with no problem, but unfortunately, there’s a lingering stain on the wool rug even after professional cleaning. Lesson learned: the Ruggable survived without a trace.
The pattern selection is extensive. I was honestly surprised. There are hundreds of options, and they’ve clearly put effort into keeping up with design trends. I found several patterns I genuinely loved and would have considered for any rug purchase.
They’re softer underfoot than I expected. Before I ordered, I assumed they’d feel flat and cheap. They don’t, at least not in the way I feared. They have a softness to them that’s pleasant to walk on, and the pile options give you a bit of variety depending on the look you’re going for.
They work well in high-traffic areas. This is probably where they shine brightest. Whether it’s the kitchen, hallway, kids’ room, a mudroom, or anywhere that a rug is going to take a beating, a Ruggable makes practical sense. I even got this fun Calloway Multicolored Rug for my office since it gets a lot of foot traffic, and it’s fabulous.
They actually stay in place. This surprised me the most. The rug pad system works better than I expected. My old wool runner in the kitchen would shift constantly, and I was forever straightening it. My Ruggable hasn’t moved. The two-piece system, which I thought might be annoying, is actually the reason it stays so flat and secure.
The Cons
They won’t hold up the way a quality wool rug will. A well-made wool rug can last decades. I don’t expect the same from a Ruggable. That’s not a knock; it’s part of the reality of the material, and since the material is different, the longevity will be different too.
They’re thinner than most traditional rugs. Even the thicker pile options don’t have the weight and substance of a traditional area rug. If you’re used to walking on a dense wool rug, this will feel noticeably different.
Affordable, but not exactly cheap. This is a relative thing, but I want to be honest: Ruggables aren’t the budget buy some people seem to expect. A large size will still run you several hundred dollars. For that price, you can find traditional rugs, though obviously without the washable feature.
The feel underfoot gives it away. I want to be transparent here: it doesn’t feel like a wool rug. While our Ruggable rug is very soft, there’s a different quality to it that you’d notice if you were comparing the two side by side. It’s not bad; it’s just different, and if you’re expecting it to mimic a high-end traditional rug, you might be slightly disappointed.
Where I Actually Use Ruggable Rugs (And Where I Don’t)
Here’s my honest take after living with them: Ruggable rugs have earned a real place in my home, just not every room.
I love them in high-traffic areas where practicality has to win. The kitchen is the obvious choice. Kids’ rooms are another. My home office is a spot where I didn’t want to invest a lot, and a Ruggable works perfectly there. It looks great, does the job, and I don’t stress about it.
But for the rooms that really matter to me visually, like my living room, I still prefer a traditional rug. There’s a quality and warmth to a well-made wool or natural fiber rug that just isn’t replicable in a washable format yet. For me, that trade-off isn’t worth it in the spaces where the rug is a real design statement.
The dining room is an interesting middle ground. Right now, I have a traditional rug there, and I love it. But we use that space mostly for hosting. If it were the main place my boys ate every single day, I might feel very differently. The washability would start to outweigh the aesthetic difference pretty quickly, I would think.
Ruggable FAQs
Can you put Ruggable rugs in any washing machine?
You’ll need a front-loading or top-loading machine without an agitator. Larger sizes require a commercial washer (most laundromats work great). Always check the sizing guide on Ruggable’s website before ordering.
How often can you wash a Ruggable?
As often as you need to, which is kind of the point. Ruggable says the rugs are designed to be washed regularly without breaking down.
Do Ruggable rugs fade after washing?
I haven’t noticed any fading after two washes, and most reviews I’ve seen say the colors hold up well over time.
Do Ruggable rugs work with underfloor heating?
Yes. The rug pad is designed to be compatible with radiant floor heating systems.
Can you use a Ruggable rug pad with a different rug cover?
The rug pad and cover are designed to work together as a system, so they’re not interchangeable with other brands.
Are Ruggable Rugs Good Quality?
For what they are, yes. It’s important to frame this question correctly, though. Ruggable rugs are not trying to compete with high-end traditional rugs. They’re washable, pattern-forward, and family-friendly. Within that category, they deliver. It’s a solid rug pad system that holds up in the wash. Go in with realistic expectations, and you’ll likely be happy.
My honest take: they’re well-made for what they are, and “what they are” is genuinely useful.
Are Ruggable Rugs Toxic?
This is a question I looked into before buying, because I have kids on the floor constantly, and it matters to me. Here’s what I found:
Ruggable rugs are OEKO-TEX certified, meaning they’ve been tested for harmful substances and pass safety standards. No formaldehyde, no PVC in the pad. They are synthetic (polyester), so if you’re strictly a natural-materials household, that’s worth noting, but from a toxicity standpoint, the certification is meaningful.
Final Thoughts
So there you have it. My full Ruggable review, rug snobbery intact. Are they my dream rug? No. Are they genuinely useful and well-designed for the right spaces? Absolutely. I’m keeping mine, and I’d buy another for the right room.
If you’re on the fence, my advice is simple: don’t use one as a substitute for a rug you really care about, but absolutely use one anywhere practicality matters more than perfection.

Easy Sesame Noodles (Takeout-Style)
If you’re craving takeout-style sesame noodles, this Easy Sesame Noodles recipe delivers the same bold flavor in just 15 minutes.
Tender noodles are tossed in a creamy sesame peanut sauce made with soy sauce, rice vinegar, fresh ginger, and garlic for the perfect balance of savory, slightly sweet, and nutty.
These easy homemade sesame noodles taste just as good warm for dinner as they do chilled straight from the fridge, making them ideal for quick weeknights or meal prep.
It’s one of those flexible, back-pocket recipes you’ll find yourself making again and again.
What You’ll Love About these Easy Sesame Noodles
- Quick & Easy: Ready in about 15 minutes
- Simple Ingredients: Pantry-friendly ingredients
- Meal Prep Friendly: Delicious hot or cold
- Customizable: Easily adjustable to your taste
- Weeknight Idea: Great as a main dish or side
The proportions are forgiving, so you can adjust the sauce depending on how creamy, salty, or spicy you like it.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- Udon or wheat noodles: Chewy and satisfying, the perfect base for soaking up the sauce
- Soy sauce: Adds deep savory flavor
- Rice vinegar: Brightens and balances the richness
- Sesame paste or tahini: Creates a creamy, nutty base
- Smooth peanut butter: Adds body and subtle sweetness
- Toasted sesame oil: Provides that classic takeout aroma
- Granulated sugar or honey: Balances the savory elements
- Fresh ginger: Adds warmth and freshness
- Fresh garlic: Brings sharp, aromatic depth
- Chile-garlic paste or chile oil: Optional for gentle heat
- Cucumber: Adds cool crunch and contrast
- Roasted peanuts: Provide texture and nuttiness
- Green onions: Fresh, mild bite
- Shredded carrots: Adds color and subtle sweetness
(See the printable recipe card for full list of ingredients)
How to Make Easy Sesame Noodles
- Cook the noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the noodles according to package instructions. Drain. If serving cold, rinse briefly under cool water and drain well.
- Make the sauce: In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame paste, peanut butter, sesame oil, sugar, ginger, garlic, and chile paste if using. The sauce should be smooth and creamy. If it feels too thick, add 1 to 3 tablespoons warm water until silky.
- Toss and adjust: Add the noodles to the bowl and toss until evenly coated. Taste and adjust with more soy sauce, vinegar, or heat as desired.
- Garnish and serve: Top with cucumber, shredded carrots, green onions, and chopped peanuts. Serve warm or chilled.
Tips & Variations
- Sauce too thick? Thin the sauce as needed. Sesame paste thickens as it sits.
- Add Protein: Make it a meal by adding shredded chicken, baked tofu, or a soft boiled egg.
- Storage: Store leftovers in the fridge up to 24 hours. Add a splash of soy sauce or water before serving to loosen.
- Swap the sesame paste: Chinese sesame paste has a deeper, toastier flavor, but tahini works beautifully.
- Add vegetables: Add extra vegetables like red bell pepper, snap peas, or spinach for more color and nutrients.

BondiBoost Discount Code + Honest Review
Let’s talk about hair tools. I just discovered the idea of an infrared round brush for non-damaging smoothing—and I’m in LOVE.
I don’t blow-dry my hair every day. I try to let it air dry at least once per week—especially if I’ve washed it at night—and then I just want something to smooth the ends the next day to give it that polished, intentional look.
That’s where the BondiBoost Infrared Thermal Bounce Brush comes in. I wanted smooth without the damage, and this brush is it!
And yes, I got us a discount code:
- Use ELIZABETHRIDER for 10% off sitewide
- Get the infrared smoothing brush here
- Shop the BondiBoost website here
(By the way, I paid full price for the brush and bought it myself.)
The Infrared Thermal Bounce Brush (My Favorite)
This brush is designed to give you that soft, 90s-style blowout look without the traditional blow-dryer damage.
What I love most:
- It’s made for dry hair (not soaking wet hair—this is not a blow-dryer but rather a smoothing brush like a curling iron but less damaging)
- It smooths length and ends beautifully
- It gives bounce without frying your hair
- It’s fast (what we all need!)
It uses far infrared technology, which gently heats the hair from within rather than blasting the outer layer. It also emits negative ions to help reduce frizz and seal the cuticle for smoother, shinier hair.
In real-life terms? It makes my hair look polished without feeling brittle.
I’ll air dry, then run this through the mid-lengths and ends. Two to three passes per section and I’m done. It smooths flyaways, adds shine, and gives that little flip at the bottom that makes it look like I tried — even if I didn’t. And I genuinely feel like it’s less damaging than traditional high-heat styling tools.
Why Infrared Heat Matters
Traditional hot tools can overheat the outer layer of the hair shaft, which can lead to dryness and breakage over time.
Infrared heat works differently. It:
- Heats more evenly
- Penetrates more gently
- Helps retain moisture
- Reduces surface damage
If you’re trying to be smarter about heat styling (I am), this is a great middle ground between no heat ever and full blowout every day.
Who This Brush Is Perfect For
You’ll love this if you:
- Air dry your hair but want smoother ends
- Want volume without a full blow dryer session
- Are trying to reduce heat damage
- Love that soft, bouncy blowout look
- Want something fast
If you expect it to replace a full salon blowout from soaking wet hair, that’s not really its job. It works best on dry or mostly dry hair.
BondiBoost Hair Products (Also Excellent)
I’ve also used several of their hair products, and they’re solid across the board. They focus on clean ingredients, scalp health, strengthening and repair, and reducing shedding.
Their masks and treatments are especially good if you color your hair or use heat tools regularly. They’re effective without feeling heavy or greasy.
If you’re investing in skincare, it makes sense to treat your scalp and hair with the same level of intention.
BondiBoost Discount Code
Save 10% sitewide with my code: ELIZABETHRIDER
This is one of those tools I actually reach for regularly. It makes my air-dried hair look intentional, smooth, and finished without feeling like I’m slowly damaging it.

EarlyBird CBD Discount Code & Honest Review
Let’s talk about something I’m very particular about: CBD & THC.
First, I do NOT like the feeling of being high! I’ve never liked it. I’ve tried different variations of mid-to-high-dose THC products, and I’ve disliked all of them. I just don’t want to feel foggy, and I definitely don’t want that anxious, out-of-control sensation some edibles can create.
That said, I deeply appreciate the calming, nervous-system-supporting benefits of CBD. CBD can help ease stress, support relaxation, and make it easier to wind down at night—without getting “stoned.”
Then a friend recommended a micro-dose THC product, and I learned about the importance of “full-spectrum” CBD and THC. When she introduced me to EarlyBird CBD, I absolutely loved it! I rushed to buy my own bottle.
And yes, I’ve got a discount code for us.

Why I Actually Like EarlyBird
There are so many hemp products out there right now. Some are too strong. Some feel synthetic. Some are inconsistent. And some just don’t feel good. EarlyBird feels different. It’s subtle, balanced, and thoughtful.
For me, half a gummy feels like a glass of wine. My shoulders drop, and my mind softens. I feel a little melty and watch a movie or enjoy a book (love one of a Friday night). One gummy lasts a few hours, and I’m good. I generally take half, then the other half a few hours later.
But I don’t feel high. That’s the difference.
For me, a bottle will last around a year because I only take them once every week or two. Everyone is different! You can figure out how much you like.
What Makes EarlyBird Different
EarlyBird is an Austin-based hemp company focused on full-spectrum formulations with an intentional microdose of natural THC from hemp.
Each serving contains about 2.5mg of natural THC, alongside CBD and other cannabinoids—all naturally derived from the hemp plant. Nothing synthetic or lab-created.
And they’re incredibly transparent:
- Third-party tested
- THC and CBD levels are printed directly on every label
- Full-spectrum, whole-plant approach
- Naturally derived cannabinoids
You know exactly what you’re getting.

Why Full-Spectrum CBD Matters
Not all CBD is created equal.
Some products use CBD isolate, which strips away the other beneficial cannabinoids. Full-spectrum hemp contains the full range of compounds found in the plant—including small amounts of natural THC. These compounds work together in what’s often called the “entourage effect,” creating a more balanced and effective experience.
In plain English? It feels smoother and more natural. No icky “high” feeling.
EarlyBird was one of the first companies to intentionally formulate a full-spectrum hemp edible with a precise microdose of THC designed to deliver a consistent, relaxing experience — without overwhelming psychoactive effects.
The Full-Spectrum Gummies (My Pick)
These are the CBD gummies that I use, and I like that they make a sampler pack so you can try them out before getting a bigger bottle.
- Shop EarlyBird CBD here
- Use ELIZABETH20 for 20% off the entire site!
Each gummy contains approximately 2.5mg of natural THC. Like I said, I personally take half, which makes them very cost-effective. Whether you prefer a whole gummy or half, the pricing works out beautifully.
Try the Trial Pack First
If you’re unsure whether this type of full-spectrum CBD is for you, I love that they offer a trial pack.
It’s a low-commitment way to see how your body responds before buying a full bottle. I always recommend starting low and seeing how you feel — especially with hemp products.
Who EarlyBird Is Best For
You’ll love this if you:
- Don’t like feeling high
- Prefer microdosed THC
- Want a wine alternative at night
- Want help easing into sleep
- Care about clean, plant-derived formulations
If you’re looking for something intense or psychoactive, this probably isn’t your product. If you want gentle and functional, it’s excellent.
EarlyBird Discount Code
Save 20% with my code:
ELIZABETH20
I’m careful about what I recommend in this category. EarlyBird feels intentional, balanced, and genuinely well-made. It’s not about getting high—it’s about taking the edge off in a way that feels natural and controlled.
Half a gummy in the evening helps me transition into rest mode without overthinking it. If you’ve been curious about CBD but hesitant about intensity, this is a beautiful place to start.
Disclaimers:
This product contains hemp-derived cannabinoids. Effects may vary from person to person. Start with a low dose and consult your healthcare provider if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition. This product has not been evaluated by the FDA and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
EarlyBird’s products are hemp-derived and meet the federal legal limit for THC (under 0.3%). However, state laws vary, and full-spectrum hemp products may not be legal in every state. Always check your local regulations before purchasing.

First, I do NOT like the feeling of being high! I’ve never liked it. I’ve tried different variations of mid-to-high-dose THC products, and I’ve disliked all of them. I just don’t want to feel foggy, and I definitely don’t want that anxious, out-of-control sensation some edibles can create.
That said, I deeply appreciate the calming, nervous-system-supporting benefits of CBD. CBD can help ease stress, support relaxation, and make it easier to wind down at night—without getting “stoned.”
Then a friend recommended a micro-dose THC product, and I learned about the importance of “full-spectrum” CBD and THC. When she introduced me to EarlyBird CBD, I absolutely loved it! I rushed to buy my own bottle.
And yes, I’ve got a discount code for us.

Why I Actually Like EarlyBird
There are so many hemp products out there right now. Some are too strong. Some feel synthetic. Some are inconsistent. And some just don’t feel good. EarlyBird feels different. It’s subtle, balanced, and thoughtful.
For me, half a gummy feels like a glass of wine. My shoulders drop, and my mind softens. I feel a little melty and watch a movie or enjoy a book (love one of a Friday night). One gummy lasts a few hours, and I’m good. I generally take half, then the other half a few hours later.
But I don’t feel high. That’s the difference.
For me, a bottle will last around a year because I only take them once every week or two. Everyone is different! You can figure out how much you like.
What Makes EarlyBird Different
EarlyBird is an Austin-based hemp company focused on full-spectrum formulations with an intentional microdose of natural THC from hemp.
Each serving contains about 2.5mg of natural THC, alongside CBD and other cannabinoids—all naturally derived from the hemp plant. Nothing synthetic or lab-created.
And they’re incredibly transparent:
- Third-party tested
- THC and CBD levels are printed directly on every label
- Full-spectrum, whole-plant approach
- Naturally derived cannabinoids
You know exactly what you’re getting.

Why Full-Spectrum CBD Matters
Not all CBD is created equal.
Some products use CBD isolate, which strips away the other beneficial cannabinoids. Full-spectrum hemp contains the full range of compounds found in the plant—including small amounts of natural THC. These compounds work together in what’s often called the “entourage effect,” creating a more balanced and effective experience.
In plain English? It feels smoother and more natural. No icky “high” feeling.
EarlyBird was one of the first companies to intentionally formulate a full-spectrum hemp edible with a precise microdose of THC designed to deliver a consistent, relaxing experience — without overwhelming psychoactive effects.
The Full-Spectrum Gummies (My Pick)
These are the CBD gummies that I use, and I like that they make a sampler pack so you can try them out before getting a bigger bottle.

Each gummy contains approximately 2.5mg of natural THC. Like I said, I personally take half, which makes them very cost-effective. Whether you prefer a whole gummy or half, the pricing works out beautifully.
Try the Trial Pack First
If you’re unsure whether this type of full-spectrum CBD is for you, I love that they offer a trial pack.
It’s a low-commitment way to see how your body responds before buying a full bottle. I always recommend starting low and seeing how you feel — especially with hemp products.
Who EarlyBird Is Best For
You’ll love this if you:
- Don’t like feeling high
- Prefer microdosed THC
- Want a wine alternative at night
- Want help easing into sleep
- Care about clean, plant-derived formulations
If you’re looking for something intense or psychoactive, this probably isn’t your product. If you want gentle and functional, it’s excellent.
