Really? No favorite things? I love Burt's Bees Vanilla Bean Lip Balm. It smells good and has a non-greasy texture. I am constantly grabbing lip balm because my lips are very dry, but I can't stand chapstick or blistex brands. This is $5 but it might be one of my favorite things.

I get that you're a places and experiences person, but you have no little things in your life that you love or "can't live without"?

PP. if we’re talking about things you buy, honestly probably not. There are very few things I’m buying today that I bought five years ago. I have preferences but they’re not absolute. Even as a kid I never cared about Pepsi vs Coke.

I mainly use Libby to check out books, so after the initial purchase, my book budget is super low.

I love my kindle paper white so much. I joined Kindle Unlimited because I read so much, and while you don't get the super popular books, I am always entertained and have multiple books going at a time. I love it. For $11/month I get so much out of it!!! For the popular ones, I use the library too. But when my kindle breaks, I'm getting an oasis!!!

I wanted to love the oasis but it’s too wide to hold with one hand easily. I ended up going back to a paperwhite.

Check out Scribd. They are also $11 a month and have a massive catalog of books and audio books. They have all the current books and lots of older ones as well.

Nonsense. Surely you have a favorite product or organizer. The less you have seems like the more favorites you've figured out.

Example - instead of 10 pairs of jeans, you have one pair that you love, and ordered it three times. Your favorite shoes, jacket, etc. Surely you aren't walking around a nudist.

Thank you. I am the Cocofloss fan, and while I am Swedish Death Cleaning pretty rigorously -- I'm even donating books! -- I am still enjoying my floss, my Kassatex towels (the dog got the very old ones I was replacing), the King Arthur measuring spoons (old ones went to the kid who moved out), and the bonus episodes of Maintenance Phase.

I prefer magnetic measuring spoons. So simple, and I'm never searching for the lost spoon.

I just bought measuring spoon that have two ends of different shape to use...so you can use it for two things without cleaning or drying the liquid off. Someone was a genius. They are also magnetic but I was them sperately and that does not really matter to me.

I agree - I love these measuring spoons, so helpful to have one end for dry thing sand the other for wet.

That's because we're all over that hair dryer after realizing how it FRIED our hair during the Covid times. We've moved on.

YES. Honestly hate that thing. I’m back to a good old hair dryer and round brush.

I also love my air fryer(s). We used our air fryer so much that I bought a second, smaller one, so while the main dish is cooking for us I could also do the side in the other one. I don't ever use my oven anymore and it encourages us to eat healthier more regularly.

Those are ugly.

NP. I still use mine about four days a week. Love it.

O'Ceder Spin Mop

The mop head is easily removable and washed, the mop itself is telescopic, so it's easy to store in my small closet. I use a tsp of powdered Tide + hot water and my floors are super clean. Plus they dry quickly because the mop spins out the water so efficiently.

I have this and love it, PP, but the used mop head can get stinky really fast and has to be washed the same day, which isn't always convenient. I'm even let it dry outside now that it is summer, but it still stinks. That's my only issue with it.
