My three-question test
How a product becomes a top find.
I don’t recommend something because it’s trending. It has to make everyday life meaningfully better.
- 01
Does it solve a real problem?
The best purchases remove friction, save time, or help you do something better.
- 02
Is it built to last?
I look at materials, reliability, owner feedback, and whether it holds up beyond the honeymoon phase.
- 03
Is it worth the money?
Not always the cheapest—just the strongest balance of usefulness, quality, and price.
