Favorite Purchases
Affresh Washing Machine Cleaner. Yes, we are boring people who get excited about cleaners. We had some not-so-great smells in our washing machine, and after reading a bunch of stuff about taking apart the washing machine I said NOPE and bought this and it seems to have worked. For now.
Cuisinart 2-Slice Toaster. This one time in college I bought a toaster. Ten years later, I finally bought a new one. And the angels rejoiced. I’m wandering around muttering things like, “There’s a CANCEL button!” and “We can do BAGELS!”
