Daily Ritual Women’s Jersey V-Neck Tank

Blue Buffalo Wilderness High Protein Grain Free, Natural Adult Dry Dog Food

Sure, you could make a date out of going to the pet store to stock up on dog food. But that approach has some hazards: The dog will want a present. And your SO will want a new kitten.

Here is where to start. This is on sale, which only happens a couple of times a year — if that. Get it now!

Pacific Ocean Gourmet Sea Salt Fine Grain 2 lbs

Salt is a kitchen essential. But have you been buying the stuff in the super market? The world is full of wonderful salts that elevate your food. It comes in pink, grey, and black. It comes from the sea, from seaweed, and from lava. Once you start experimenting with salt, you will wonder what you were thinking back when you just bought it once a year and added it without thinking. This fine Pacific Sea Salt from the San Francisco Salt Company is a great place to start.

Brondell FSW-20 FreshSpa Dual Temperature Bidet, White

Just hear me out on this one.

Why don’t American bathrooms have bidets in them? They are amazing! And anyone who has been to Europe or Japan comes home looking for a way to add one to their own bathroom.

There are expensive toilet seats out there that add a jet of water and convert your toilet to a bidet. They also cost a small fortune. But you don’t need expensive. You need this. It installs easily (if you are or know someone handy), taps into the hot water coming to your nearby sink, and is a complete game changer when it comes to your personal ablutions. Clean up without toilet paper or getting into the shower. Get cleaner. Be cleaner, all the time. You get me, right?

AquaDance High Pressure 6-Setting 3.5” Chrome Face Handheld Shower with Hose for the Ultimate Shower Experience!

Since you have the toolbox out anyway from installing the bidet (above), why not upgrade the shower, too? Are you still suffering at the mercy of water that only falls on your head from above? You can do better, you know. And it’s super easy. In this case, it’s also inexpensive. Why not take a real shower, one that feel good and gets all of you clean.
