About

Hello and welcome to StEssentials.com. I’m Tamela Randle, a product enthusiast and researcher with a passion for helping people make confident, informed buying decisions. I started this blog in 2025 to share genuine product experiences, practical insights, and honest reviews drawn from real use, not press releases or sales pitches.

My Background

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Communications from the University of Texas at Austin, where I developed a strong interest in how people connect with products through storytelling and design. After graduation, I spent nearly a decade in retail marketing and product analysis, collaborating with both local and international lifestyle brands. My work involved testing market-ready products, analyzing consumer trends, and shaping launch campaigns that reflected real user needs rather than marketing hype.

Through those years, I learned something important: people don’t just want products; they want reliability and transparency. That realization inspired me to create StEssentials.com, a space where every review is grounded in clarity, everyday usability, and real-world performance.

About the Site

StEssentials.com focuses on practical reviews across home, tech, wellness, and lifestyle essentials. Each article is built on detailed testing, transparent pros and cons, and genuine recommendations. I write with the mindset that readers value information that respects their time and budget, not exaggerated claims.

The blog also reflects my personal lifestyle here in Austin, Texas, where I balance remote work, outdoor activities, and an appreciation for products that simplify daily living. My reviews often come from hands-on experiences in these real environments, offering an honest perspective you can trust.

Every product featured on StEssentials.com is carefully evaluated for quality, usability, and value. I don’t accept sponsorships that influence my opinions, and I only recommend items I truly believe in. My mission is to help readers make smart choices — ones that align with both practicality and personal preference.
