Disagree on eyeglasses. Go to Zenni and get as many pairs as you want for like $25 each.


DP. I wear progressives, and I can't do Zenni any longer. The place I go also doesn't sell Chinese stuff, and while I suspect there's no such thing as ethical capitalism, there is definitely rock-bottom exploitive consumerism, and I avoid that as much as possible.

Worth it: being able to live with myself.

Also worth it: Feathered Friends down products (I am not a vegan, obvs)

Mackage coats. Stylish, beautiful and warm. I look forward to breaking mine out every December.

Classic designer items. This includes my Burberry trench, Chanel classic flap, etc. They are great additions to my wardrobe and have lasted way longer than cheaper alternatives.

What style is your favorite? Some of the styles are so interesting, but I wonder if theyd be flattering on anyone over a size 000?

I've been considering a litter robot. Which one do you have?

Old solid cast iron is so much better than any other cookware.

Worth it:
- biweekly cleaner
- monthly car wash membership, as long as you go twice. It keeps the salt and bird crap and other corrosive stuff off my car.
- Target Debit red card, 5% off, free shipping and it costs nothing (do not switch to the credit card)

Yes!!! I received these as part of a care package when recovering from surgery and could not believe how good they were.


Where in the store does one find these magic cookies?
