sat with it

Hi there, I’m LG. By day I get paid to have opinions about how things look and work. By night I fall into research rabbit holes on everything from rugs to sunscreen to car seats.

What I’ve learned is that better decisions come from better questions, not more information. Ten more open tabs rarely help. One right question usually does.

I approach personal purchases the same way. Every recommendation here is the result of far more research than anyone should reasonably do, shared so you can decide with confidence instead of second-guessing yourself.

Where to start:

Essays: the thinking

Rabbit Holes: the shortlist spiral, mid deliberation

Settled: one tried and true category and its verdict

It never changes a verdict. I only recommend products that earned their place after an unreasonable amount of research.
