Hi! A bit about today’s post before we get started. Fridays have, for a while now, been reserved for either ​your questions/our answers​ or for ​our recommendations​. But we weren’t feeling inspired by either as a standalone—it all felt too prescriptive. Another truth is that we don’t love enough products to come up with a handful every other week, so we were really struggling with that part. We’re a picky bunch, and we’re really only going to recommend what we actually like and use.
