Welcome to Alor Store

Hi, I’m Tricia Gray and I’m so happy you’re here. Alor Store began as my little corner of the internet where honest opinions meet real experiences. After years in the retail and lifestyle industry, I realized how often people buy things that look perfect online but fall short in daily use. I wanted to change that one truthful review at a time.

My Story

Before starting this blog, I spent several years managing the home and lifestyle department of a boutique retail brand in Portland, Oregon. My background in Communications and Consumer Behaviour from the University of Washington helped me understand what truly influences our buying decisions it’s not just looks or price, but how a product feels in everyday life.

After leaving that world, I spent some time traveling, exploring local markets, and studying how people connect with the things they own. Today, I live in Asheville, North Carolina, surrounded by woods, dogs, and a collection of tested products that fill my home with stories.

Why I Started This Blog

In 2025, I launched Alor Store to share authentic product insights without marketing fluff. Every review you’ll find here comes from hands-on testing and genuine use. Whether it’s home décor, kitchen gadgets, or small tech upgrades, I focus on how they perform in real life not in staged photos.

I believe readers deserve clarity and trust, and my goal is to make online shopping less confusing and more rewarding.

What You’ll Find Here

This site is a space built on transparency. I write as both a reviewer and a fellow buyer the kind who checks return policies twice and appreciates products that actually last. You’ll find balanced reviews, comparisons, and simple buying tips based on firsthand experience, not sponsorship promises.

So take a look around, read what interests you, and feel free to reach out if you’d like to share your own experience.

Welcome to a place where real reviews meet real living.

Warm regards,
Tricia Gray
