Gaming was one of the things that kept me from losing my mind during Covid, when work was slow and going out was a fading memory. My Switch and PS4 gave me a good distraction from the real world (or lack of it), but sharing a TV with all of my roommates was a challenge….
Buying a headset for your PS5 (or PS4) can feel complicated, and as someone who has been trying to find the perfect headset, I’ve really been through it. There are great headsets with a couple of issues that can be dealbreakers for many, and this even includes offerings direct from Sony. I’ve bought both the Pulse…
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….
Last week I went over almost all of the Dyson stick vacuums that are available. I love my Dyson, but with MSRPs going all the way up to $749, a Dyson stick alternative can be a better option for those who don’t want to spend a fortune. Are the alternatives any good? Yes and no….
I’ve recently decided to use a 75% sized mechanical keyboard for most of my computer usage and I couldn’t be happier. It’s compact in a way that looks nice, but not so small that my typing ability is compromised. With these keyboards, you are getting the smallest form factor that still has a row of…
Owning a Dyson battery-powered stick vacuum was a game changer for cleaning my house. There are a lot of different Dyson stick vacuums available, and for whatever reason Dyson never really retires any of their older models. Instead, they keep them all available but across a wide price range. This comparison will get to the…
I love pull-up bars; they’re a great way to get in shape in the shortest amount of time. If you’re able to do them, they’re a very efficient way to work out. Doing regular pull-ups is great for your biceps, and flipping your hands around for a chin-up is fantastic for your back and shoulders!…
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…
If you don’t have an iPhone and want Airpods/Beats, or you don’t want to spend a lot of money on non-Apple premium wireless buds, then it’s time for some Airpod dupes! There are an absolutely shocking number of cheap alternative earbuds available here, and to be honest I won’t even be scratching the surface. But…
In my last post, I showed lots of different combinations of watch bands to go with my two favorite Apple Watch 7 colors, Starlight and Midnight. This was meant to give you an idea of the ways you could make your watch look and to give some ideas for your second band. If buying a…
In my prior post about choosing wireless earbuds, I said that I prefer Apple’s offerings including Airpods and Beats due to the inclusion of the H1 chip. It’s what makes the pairing process and device switching to other apple devices so seamless. But what if you don’t have a Mac, iPhone, or iPad? Should I…
I got my HydraPeak a few years ago and didn’t realize that they were a whole thing. It was just a water bottle but everyone kept asking me about it. It turns out that everyone thought it was a Hydro Flask, which is basically the same thing but costs double. The HydraPeak is actually a…
Owning a webcam is something that I think should be required for people who do any type of office work, whether that is at home or in the office! Not only will it make you look better, but a separate webcam also gives more options for camera angle placement. Built-in cameras on most laptops just…
Most of your electronic devices probably came with a charger, so why not just use the charger that came with it? In a lot of cases, they will charge your device way slower than what is possible. These stock chargers only have one port on them as well, meaning you need a separate charger if…
So you’ve got a desk, you’ve organized all of your cables, but what about your monitor? If you’ve been following along you know that I became hyper-fixated on my ergonomics during Covid, and having a monitor arm was one way I helped situate my monitor better for viewing and clean up my desk space. What’s…
