Good Buys:
- Shower Caddy from Target
- My husband & I used to have completely separate bathrooms, because...we like it that way. BUT, with the kid taking over "my" bathroom a little (our master has an extended shower rather than a bath and I like baths), I have started to use the actual master bathroom more. But I needed a better place to put all my stuff. This holds a ton, even my huge bottles of shampoo & conditioner, plus it has TWO RAZOR holders. I didn't even notice that when we bought it but seriously, it's the best thing ever.
Cool Stuff from the Internet:
- It's Not Always About You, White Dudes (You're Just Not Used to That)
- Important. For white dudes, for white ladies, for basically anyone experiencing some kind of privilege.
- Is the Rosa Parks Story True? by Origin of Everything
- This is a great video that goes into the simplified version of Rosa Parks' story, the more detailed and nuanced version, and also some possible reasons why the story was simplified in the first place. It's also a reminder that there is not one big event that changes history- it is a network and constant trudging forward #resist
- New Product Obsession: Lady Doritos from Bourbon & Lipstick
- Verity Podcast
- Six Smart Women Discussing Doctor Who...'nuff said.
- Me being me, I am starting from the beginning which is like 3.5 years ago...but I appreciate it so far.
- Bill & Melinda Gates 2018 Annual Letter: 10 Tough Questions We Get Asked
- An interesting insight to people who have a lot of money and how they choose what to do with it.
- Quote from the article: "But being an optimist isn’t about knowing that life used to be worse. It’s about knowing how life can get better."
What's on your list lately?
Oooh love the size of that caddy but I stand in front of the door as I hate water in my face so I would probably step back into it all the time. But ours is very small and now I'm motivated to look for another one. The Bill & Melinda Gates quote you shared reminded me of Kristen Bell onDax Shepherd's podcast (which I recommended today!) where she talked about happiness vs suffering and how she used that as a scale as to where she would give her time and attention. Thanks for linking up!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder that I need a new caddy, badly! Mine is rusted.
ReplyDeleteThat shower caddy does look like it would hold big bottles!! Mine makes me so angry, I will have to get that one to replace it.
ReplyDeleteA shower caddy with razor holders? Now that's a game changer. Nothing stays where it should in my caddy and the lower level is never tall enough. I wish we had US Target in Australia, I'd be buying one of those tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteI try to hold back from telling my students the real story of Rosa Parks and MLK Jr. because it's above their level of understanding. I just stick with the storybook versions.
ReplyDeleteI just brought plastic shower organizers home today (from where I was using them at school) to organizer our bathroom cupboards.
