Friends, help me welcome Ana Suarez, the latest addition to The Inventory team. In addition to being a writing superstar, she’s a proud cat mom, owns a rad shoe rack, and is on the look out for pimple patches.

Don’t ever say that here at Style Girlfriend, we don’t listen to the people. Earlier this week a few of you on The Internet were up in arms over a selection of what we thought were dope-as-hell knit polos, griping that they were too expensive. The memeification of the headline was lost in translation, and some of you…

When I moved into my first apartment in 2018, I had a lot of things on my wishlist for my new place. I wanted hardwood floors, since carpets + cats + allergies = nightmares. I needed a place that would let me live with four small animals (thank god for chill landlords). And I really, desperately wanted a lot of…

Becoming a mom has made me super conscious of the amount of waste we create, especially because little kids go through so much stuff in their first couple of years. I want to make sure that we, as a family, are as responsible as we can be, so that our son can have a comfortable Earth experience.

In an age where phones are made out of glass and could fall to their doom at any moment, a case is crucial for protecting your $1000 device. But some people are so clumsy, the average case is not enough: they need something that can take anything life throws at them (or anything they might throw their phone at). Here…

Nine months ago, I used sticker tiles to create a fake backsplash in my studio apartment rental, and nothing I’ve done since has been even remotely as interesting or cool. Until now.

The dirty secret of grills is that they don’t require a whole lot to keep them clean! Mostly as long as you brush the grates well before and after each use you’ll be good to go. But from time to time — once or twice a year for average grillers, more often for people who grill regularly — doing a thorough deep clean of…

You guys know Chris Pine, right? Wonder Woman’s straight man and occasionally naked Outlaw King? He’s stupidly handsome and a bona fide movie star. But more importantly, the man is a damn snappy dresser. Yes, I said snappy and hoo boy do I mean it. He makes everything he wears look effortlessly elegant; he’s totally…

Somewhere, deep in our lizard brains, we all intuitively understand that kitchen sponges are absolutely disgusting. And yet! We as a society tend to turn the other way and use them for weeks, or even months at a time. Sure, you can throw your sponges in the microwave or the dishwasher, and feel like you “sanitized”…

In my efforts to clean things outside of the daily/weekly types of things, I decided that my gas grill needed a thorough cleanse. I armed myself with rubber gloves, old scrubbing sponges, and a can of Easy-Off. I sprayed all of the parts (grates, flare up protectors, firebox) and let them sit for 10 minutes per the…

Tan skin is so 1999; healthy, non-damaged skin is much cooler (yes, pun intended). If you spend a large amount of time outside, you definitely need a sun shirt (or two or five), because no matter how much sunscreen you slather on your skin, there is always a chance you missed a spot. And, did you know that regular…

You probably own a USB battery pack. Hell, you probably own several. But precious few have charging cables built in, and without one, your battery is just an expensive paperweight.

Tabletop games are a fantastic group activity, but not everyone is into arcane rule books and methodical strategies. If you have a more outgoing, theatrical group of friends, you might try Quelf for your next party.
