While most of your excess cash should be invested in the market, everyone should strive to keep an emergency fund, as well as any short-to-medium term savings goals, somewhere safe, liquid, and non-volatile. For most of us, that means a savings account with an interest rate about a hair’s width above zero. But …

I know you’re probably reading this thinking “Why should I care about pottery?” Well, I’m here to tell you that it’s because you should always care about functional, aesthetically-pleasing things. And East Fork is full of them.

I am not a skincare person. I don’t moisturize or exfoliate, I have two products in the shower (whatever body wash and shampoo were on sale the last time I ran out), and to the extent that I remember to wash my face, I do it in the shower with the same loofa that I use on my butt. As far as sunscreen goes, the only…

No one, no matter how on point their summer body is, likes shopping for bathing suits. They’re expensive, and trying them on is a fluorescent-lit nightmare. It’s enough to make anyone crazy/adopt a kaftan-as-beachwear signature look. But, realistically, most of us are going to stick with bathing suits as swimwear,…

Every kitchen needs good cooking knives, but despite what door-to-door salesmen might tell you, it really only needs three of them: a chef’s knife, a paring knife, and a bread knife. Luckily, those are the only knives Potluck sells, and the complete set only costs $60.

If you want to take a photo of yourself and your family on vacation, you don’t have a ton of good options.

I can’t say I’d previously given much thought to how sustainable my bed sheets were to produce, but Sheets & Giggle’s new sheets are eco-friendly, and really comfortable too.

It’s hard to quantify convenience, but I can tell you that with the Monet phone wallet, wasting time on my phone while keeping my things close at hand has never been easier.

So you’ve moved into a new place and you have nothing, nada, zilch, by way of cleaning products. Or, over the years, you’ve managed to assemble a motley crew of cleaning products that you don’t actually need — like a bottle of granite cleanser when you live in a home with butcher block kitchen countertops? — and want…

When planning a trip to Costa Rica, it’s important to take the weather into consideration. It might be a tropical destination, but it doesn’t boast year round sunshine. Costa Rica has two seasons: the rainy season, which runs from May to mid-November, and the dry season, which is from mid-November to April. If you’re…

Hot on the heels of my list of favorite books for a not-yet-one-year-old, here is a roundup of some of the best books for a 1-2 year old. You’ll likely recognize some of these from when you were young (classics can’t be beat), but there are some great newer books as well. Enjoy!
