  • Declutter the Screenshots on Your Phone With My Favorite Apps

    I take a lot of screenshots. Like, an excessive amount. I’m not sure whether to blame my ADHD, my FOMO, or pure sentimentality, but as it stands, I have more than 100,000 screenshots on my iPhone.

  • Why Is Alexa+ So Bad?

    When I first mounted Amazon’s new Echo Show 15 on my kitchen wall, I was enthusiastic about its potential as a hands-free entertainment device.

    In midlife, women are told to expect disruption. Sleep may become lighter, nights can feel warmer, and energy harder to come by. Hormones shift, and the body adjusts.
