The Unexpected Home Buy I Always Get at Costco
I’ve always been a fan of Costco. As a kid, I used to love the 12-packs of muffins from their bakery section, and I was always down for a trip there because that meant I’d get ice cream—well, Kirkland-Signature Non-Fat Swirl Frozen Yogurt, but I digress. My favorite FILA sweatshirt and Adidas track pants were from Costco, and had I held onto these pieces, I’d probably be rocking them again right now.

The Electric Toothbrush That Will Make Your Teeth (and Your Bathroom Counters) Look Amazing Is 50% Off on Amazon
I got my Philips Sonicare Diamond Clean toothbrush through a series of delightful, though non-replicable, means. In my last job I had the opportunity to interview Gordon Ramsay about his partnership with Philips’ air fryer. Because he is a busy man, the interview got moved twice, although all was instantly forgiven when he got on the phone and apologized profusely in his British accent.

Easy Upgrade: The Simple Switch That’ll Make Your Bathroom Less Dingy & More Stylish
Truth time: I really hate fabric bathmats. They get wet, and moldy, and they never fail to soak your socks when you walk into the room after someone has just showered. Not realizing that there was a better option, I continued to replace one mildewy, formerly-fluffy mat after the next. Until one day, I went to the Turkish baths and spotted my solution sitting in front of the aromatherapy room: the wooden slated mat. It dried quickly, excess water could drip through, it smelled like fresh cedar.
