Over the last few months I’ve been making improvements to my space with new furniture, and even some furniture hacks. One thing that was lacking were pieces that are more for the aesthetics of the space Every once in a while there is a piece of furniture that blows up online and Tik Tok especially,…
I bought my iPad 11” iPad Pro (1st generation 11″) in 2018, and it still feels like a brand-new device for all intents and purposes. These things are built to last in a way that isn’t quite true with iPhones since the much larger iPad batteries seem to have more longevity than their tiny siblings….
Sonic toothbrushes are one of those things that sounded excessive to me until I tried it. Unfortunately, I am afflicted with weak teeth, and cavities come to me all too easily. My dentist peer pressured me into getting a sonic electric brush, and it made a huge difference in the overall health of my mouth….
11/23 Update: This TV (65″) is currently on sale for $599 at Best Buy. Have you ever had a piece of technology that seemed amazing, but suddenly seems outdated and old after a few years? This is exactly what happened to me with the last TV that I bought in 2017. It seemed great at…
If you’ve come here there’s a good chance you have a big head like me. However, some headphones will hurt your head even if you don’t have a big head! You can have headphones that aren’t too tight, but if the earpad sizing is off it can put pressure on your ears, which is really…
Looking back at all of the places I’ve lived, high-quality area rugs are a house item that I was always lacking. I always wanted a nice, thick, area rug that would feel cozy and warm on my feet in the winter. But rugs can cost several hundred dollars or more, and if you’re not careful…
For some reason, I always thought there was no way I was capable of replacing a hard-wired light fixture. There was something about the wiring aspect that scared me off from attempting it, until recently. I decided I was going to attempt to get rid of the old ugly chandelier in my dining room and…
The Ikea Soderhamn is a relatively affordable sectional these days; you can get a big 4-person sectional like this one for $1,099. The only issue I have with the Soderhamn is that the legs on it look a bit too skinny and dated, but luckily you can “hack” your Soderhamn with some new legs that…
Loofahs were a big upgrade to my once limited arsenal of showering gear. The lather was a revelation, and I knew that a regular cloth would never do it for me again. However, it turns out that loofahs are actually pretty bad, and most of all really gross! Why is a loofah bad? Let me…
I’m someone who has very challenging skin… it’s very pale, rosacea-prone, and the hairs that grow out of it tend to curl for starters. All of this makes for a perfect storm when trying to deal with ingrown hairs and razor bumps. As someone who has visited multiple dermatologists and aestheticians I have a lot…
When I decided to get an Apple Watch I spent wayyy too long lamenting over what color watch to get. When you buy an Apple watch you need to choose what color Watch to get as well as what kind of band to get with it. You can of course replace the band, but you’re…
Back in my post about the best PlayStation headsets, I mentioned that Sony’s own headset is one size fits all as there isn’t really any adjustment to make it more comfortable. This is pretty annoying considering how comfortable some of their other headphones are! What this has meant for me and my large head is…
Now that we’ve covered the overall difference between Apple’s offerings and the alternatives, it’s time to get into the actual products and compare them all. Let’s start with H1 devices, which for wireless earbuds include the Airpods 2, AirPods 3, Airpod Pros, Powerbeat Pros, and Beats Fit Pro. What are the important factors when ranking:…
Apple may have pioneered wireless earbuds the Airpods several years ago, but there are a LOT of other Bluetooth options across a wide price range now. Now that there are contenders in this space such as Samsung, Sony, and countless dupes, the decision process can be complicated. I prefer the Apple offerings and by extension Beats,…
Working from home was initially a huge revelation for me, and a relief since my old job didn’t allow it. While my work has been fairly supportive with their flexibility, they unfortunately were not willing to pay money for extra office equipment. So I had to buy all new stuff, which I’ve been covering here….
