Long Read.  How much money is ‘enough’? Chasing more endlessly makes you miserable, here’s a number to shoot for.

Do you follow The Buy Guide on Instagram?  If you do, you’ve seen the saga of the Stanley Adventure Quencher traveling mug. If not, they have an entire explainer in their highlights.

Long story short, the TBG ladies were so obsessed with the Stanley Adventure Quencher that they convinced the company to make it in pastel colors.  Then, the ladies got all of their influencer pals to promote the traveling mugs, and they sold out in every color in four hours.  And now, the pastel traveling mugs are reselling on eBay for 4-6x their value.  Proving that influencer marketing works.

Several friends own these Adventure Quencher mugs and swear by them for keeping hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold.  They are the new Hydroflask.  So if you’d like one, the pastels are long gone, but the traditional colors are still available.

    Similar tumbler but it’s designed to be virtually spill-proof. It’s fantastic.

    MySisterMadeMeBuyIt on Instagram did a test with the Stanley water tumbler and a few others that looked at rate of ice melting, drink staying cold, etc. The Stanley cups were by far the worst. The Reduce tumblers that fit in the cup holders fared much better.

    Thanks for the article on “getting ahead.” The pressure doesn’t stop after your twenties. But it reminded me to stop, look around, and ask whose race I’m running.

    Ok the Stanely cup was something I REALLY WANTED (absolutely influenced) but it turned out to be kind of terrible. I live in DC and thought this would be perfect for stroller adventures with my toddler but the cups spill all the time and are super heavy. The spilling is due to the fact that the straw/drink hole is huge and the plastic cover closure thingy is flimsy so liquids splash out when “closed” (I got a replacement part from Stanley it’s still doesn’t work). So any time we hit a tiny bump on a sidewalk, hot coffee would go flying. Or water would spill all over the stroller. It’s also too heavy to use in the car, have to really lift it out of the cupholder. I might use it at the office to make sure I’m drinking enough water but it’s definitely not the essential mom accessory I thought it might be.

Beauty Review: Bondi Boost

As I age, I notice many changes in my body. Most are fine. Some are frustrating. Like many women, I lost a lot of hair in my postpartum phase. Being anemic for more than a year after, it didn’t grow back in to its former glory. So I’ve tried any number of shampoos, pills and […]

The Find: Shirts That Don’t Gape

I remember when Rochelle Behrens launched The Shirt — a button-down blouse with anti-gape technology (a patented internal button that keeps the look smooth). The idea seemed brilliant, but at the time, my bust didn’t require an extra button. One baby later, I understand the need for some extra security.

The Mondays: March 18, 2024

This weekend was a tricky one. The warm weather and bright sunshine of last weekend disappeared in a flurry of wet snow trapping our very active 18-month-old in the house with us. Plus, our babysitter cancelled, so neither of us feels ready for the week ahead. But in between making mac-and-cheese and watching Aristocats for […]
