Betrayal is buying a new pan you thought was going to be non-stick, only to have the coating fall off and into your omelette within a few uses. It’s nearly impossible to get excited about cooking when the tools you use don’t work or start to break down within months or weeks of buying them. Right now more than ever, when we are all spending more […]

There are two things we love in this world: pans and supporting small businesses. Well, we like more than that, but those two things are great, too. Our Place, the makers of the Always Pan, is having a two day sale right now, where shoppers can take $30 off the Always Pan with the code SHOPSMALL. Scouted Editor Jillian Lucas loves this pan, as do I, […]
Furniture shopping, for me, is a sport. It takes constant comparison of design, price, and dimensions that can be physically and emotionally exhausting. It’s fun, well, at least it’s fun when you know where to start. While I can’t help you pick the perfect pieces out (sorry), what I can do is provide a resource I wish I had when I was shopping for my home […]
About six months ago, I was out to lunch with a friend of mine who could not stop talking about a new T-shirt brand I’d never heard of. “I’ve gotten my entire family to start wearing them,” she boasted, “they should hire me.” I think she could’ve gone on for hours, but I interrupted her. After all, a T-shirt is a T-shirt, right? At the end […]
I can’t put my finger on why, but after a while a lot of the cords on my electronics start to fray. Whether it’s a phone charger, or any charger really, an HDMI cable, or anything else, it inevitably happens. After maybe a year of use, the little rubber lining rips and exposed wires are all over the place. I try to power through it (no […]
At this point, I have so many masks, I don’t know where to put them. I’m considering repurposing a tie rack and making it a mask rack, since who knows when I’ll wear a tie again? But even still, mask technology is improving on what seems like a daily basis and so I’m searching for the best face masks money can buy. Zappos, known for expansive […]
There’s a lot of fancy cooking items out there these days. Sous vides, Instant Pots, pizza ovens are all well and good, but what about the items we use most in the kitchen? I can say, without fail, that whenever I’m cooking up something, I’m using a pot or a pan. It should go without saying that you should have a set of pots, and maybe […]
Dry lips aren’t something you should have to deal with. They crack and bleed and peel and it’s just not a fun time for anyone. To help combat dryness, investing in a quality lip balm should be your first step (along with drinking more water and exfoliating). There are tons of lip balsams on the market, but some of the best are classic balms that have […]
It’s a strange time for restaurants to say the least, and it’s certainly an even stranger time to write a memoir about a life spent in them. Nonetheless, David Chang, the chef and founder of Momofuku, creator and star of Netflix’s Ugly Delicious, and New York Times bestselling author, recently published his new highly anticipated memoir Eat a Peach. While the book is coming out during […]
During this time, my grocery shopping trips have gotten larger. Whenever I go, I’m really going for the entire week, maybe two, and so that means stocking up on plenty of fresh produce. What this has made me realize though, is that I use a ton of those plastic produce bags. You know, those green bags on rolls that are somehow impossible to get open? Yeah, […]
Brooklinen has got the goods. Their towels are soft and their bedding is somehow softer and their loungewear is cozy as can be. Because we’re all in need of a spa day, Brooklinen is taking 15% off sitewide this Labor Day Weekend. That means you can save big on those new sheets you always wanted, or a new set of towels to freshen up your bathroom. […]
As someone who loves shopping for furniture, there’s one category that has always proven to be the most difficult: rugs. While rugs are made to bring an entire room and space together, they tend to be the biggest strain on relationships when I’m shopping for one. That’s because shopping for rugs is just so damn hard. Not only do you have to factor in size and […]

If you’re lucky enough to have a backyard, odds are you’ve been spending way more time in it this summer. As the seasons change and temperatures start to mellow out, you might wonder how you’ll stay outside when it’s chilly. Well, now is the perfect time to invest in a patio heater. They can instantly transform your backyard into a place where you can spend more […]
There is nothing worse than unwanted visitors in your home. I take extreme precautions to ensure no pests get in. Hanging fly bags outdoors is a good start, and my last line of defense in case something does make it inside is this trusty electric swatter. But essential to my entire defense scheme are the screens on my doors and windows. Without them, there’d be no […]
The kitchen is the most difficult part of any home to organize, in my opinion. That’s because unlike clothes or furniture, deciding what appliances, pantry staples, and tools you need to keep, and which to get rid of, can be tricky. Thankfully, there’s a new book from a brand and shop that makes some of our favorite kitchen items, that will both help you be a […]
My search for the perfect mask has been done in phases. The first was realizing that I, in fact, needed a mask, and whatever was in arms reach would do. Then came exploration: the discovery of nose wires, masks that tie around your head, filter pockets, washable fabric. Finally, and last but not least, came treating my mask like a fashion item and wondering before going […]
When we first started working from home, my note-taking decreased, I felt lazier, and as a result, less organized. As time went on, I realized what I had been missing: a daily planner. Even though you might not have as many in-person appointments, my Zoom schedule is pretty full these days. Without a planner, I don’t know how I’d keep track of everything. Whether you’re continuing […]
I love my plants but I don’t always love where they are in my house. If they’re outside, don’t even get me started— lugging them inside is no fun. Thankfully, plant caddies exist. Think of them as dollies, specifically designed for plants. They are discrete, easy to move, and many have excellent drainage systems so your plants don’t drown. To help you pick out the best […]
There’s nothing better than good drinking water. There’s kind of nothing worse than taking a sip of water and it tasting a little funky. Even if your tap water is generally pretty good, it’s worth investing in a purifier. They help weed out chemicals and pollutants that you probably shouldn’t be putting in your body all the time. Getting a purifier is a no brainer. The […]
STEM, if you didn’t know, stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. It takes all four aspects and applies them in an interdisciplinary approach to make things less abstract. You’re not just doing math without a direct purpose; you’re doing math to create and build something really cool. There are some great STEM kits out there to help teach coding, engineering, architecture, physics, and plenty more. […]
You might seem put off by the idea, but a bidet can really change how you use the bathroom. You clean the rest of your body with water, so instead of using all of this toilet paper, why not use water, too? Bidets have come far, the technology has advanced so much so that there are plenty of options that connect to your toilet, no problem. […]
Whether you’re continuing to work from home, or have a kid going back to school, remote or in person, an essential for both of you may just be a lap desk. Personally, working from home has been excellent because it means sometimes, I get to work in bed. Imagine going to school or work in bed! With a lap desk, you can transform your bedroom or […]
Before all of this began, I used to be a very active person. My day included frequent walks to the office bathroom and coffee machine, as well as treks up and down subway stairs and swimming through crowded avenues. Now, my days look different. I get up, walk five feet to the fridge, and go to work another five steps away. As a result, I’ve been […]
One of my favorite running accessories has to be the armband. You, unfortunately, need your phone while running. Whether it’s to track distance via a GPS app, to listen to some tunes, or both, a phone is a vital part of every run. But keeping it in your pocket while running is the worst: it just jangles around with each stride. And so, the armband, often […]
We’re edging into a strange territory. It’s still hot, but at night and in the early morning, it has been chilly enough for an extra layer. At this point, I have excellent work from home loungewear for the hotter months: shorts and tees and henleys. But as the temperature has shifted, I’ve noticed my comfortable cool weather wear has been lacking. Recently, I came across Rhone’s […]
Recently, with all of this time on my hands, I’ve been getting into astronomy. Going outside in my backyard and looking at the stars isn’t something I thought I’d be able to do, but right now is the perfect time for it. It’s also stress relieving: I mean, how can you be anxious when you’re looking at the moon or at globular clusters? To stargaze properly […]
I love my water bottle. It’s something I always have by my side, whether I’m working, exercising, or just hanging out. Staying hydrated is important. But if you use a water bottle too, like a Hydroflask or a Swell, you’ll know what I mean when I say that after a while, they can get a little gross. The first sign is the water starts to give […]

I sleep hot. It’s a fact I have grown to accept, although it took me a while. I have tried plenty of things to alleviate my extreme temperature — like cooling sheets, comforters, pillows, AC units, even pajamas. While these all made marginal improvements, I realized that part of the problem was my memory foam mattress. It was time for a change. Unlike a foam mattress […]
Even though we’ve honed in on which face masks are best, that doesn’t mean they’re all perfect. In fact, far from it. Recently, I came across a new issue, one that’s extremely frustrating and difficult to handle: my glasses fogging up. Honestly, I thought I’d have to just stop wearing glasses with my mask altogether. And then I came across this anti-fog spray. This Antifog Spray […]
