Stuff We Like: Eyeglasses Wax Has Changed My Life

This month, I’m featuring some products that have made my life easier, or better, in the past few weeks. First, and foremost, I want to thank my scanner for being the most useful thing as I seek reimbursement for the many expenses incurred after Southwest melted down over the holidays. (So. Many. Receipts.) Having a standalone scanner has been so helpful for everyone in the house. My scanner is old (I ordered it in 2011!) … Continue reading Stuff We Like: Eyeglasses Wax Has Changed My Life

Stuff We Like: Aw, Hello Cyber Monday

I love the name “Cyber Monday.” It’s so retro and cute. But the actual Cyber Monday itself, ending a four-day nonstop cascade of email about sales and discounts from everywhere I’ve ever shopped ever is a little overwhelming! So I wanted to compile a special edition of Stuff We Like to share any discount codes, sales, or noteworthy opportunities before they expire. As always: some of these links are affiliate-coded, which means a portion of … Continue reading Stuff We Like: Aw, Hello Cyber Monday
