Rechargeable Find My Card

PSA: Batteries have gotten so good that you can now get a rechargeable card that works with FindMy & is just slightly thicker than a credit card - I am never going to lose my passport or wallet again! (I hope this is not famous last words...)

Maroon Suitcase

Travel tip: Get a suitcase with an atypical color. It's easier to identify it among other bags - Mine is maroon, for example. Distinctive, but dark enough to not show dirt. Dark green is a good choice too. Navy is a little too common

Noise-Canceling Headphones

wearing noise-canceling headphones at all times while traveling is the single biggest upgrade I've made to my experience of flying - it's amazing how much travel fatigue is just overstimulation from constant background noise

String Lights

String lights are an unreasonably effective & cheap way to make an outdoor space cozier

Collapsible Silicone Containers

Great news: You can buy food containers that not only have matching lids & bases, but are also COLLAPSIBLE! My kitchen drawers have never been so well organized. I'm never going back - Better yet – silicone does not shed microplastics, nor does it shatter like glass!

Sunrise Alarm Clock

I wake up much more easily in rooms with east-facing windows, but sadly my bedroom doesn't face east - So I experimented with sunrise alarms to simulate direct sunlight... and it helped a lot!

AirPods

Just used iOS's Share Audio feature for the first time and hooolyyy cow the act of pairing two sets of AirPods to the same device via Bluetooth is the most intimate thing I've ever experienced

Desk Treadmill

This desk treadmill has been a fantastic way to stay active on rainy days: I've been pleasantly surprised by how easy it is to type, too! Better yet, I've found I actually focus *better* when I'm on the treadmill, which is really not what I was expecting
