    No offense but I could have sworn that Leah was already 30. She just has this mature sophisticated vibe of a +30 y/o. Which is a good thing, just to be clear

    Defiantly a letting curve getting used to a period cup. I've been using mine for about 2 years and I love it. About 3 months ago I changed job and I now work as a tradesman and I don't have to change it when I'm at work which is great because my hands always have grease on them, and the soap we use is a strong chemical one with exfoliating bits in it that lingers so I'm glad I don't have to worry about changing a tampon at work.

    I don't really need to buy anything, but I just want to say how much I appreciate that every brand you work with/promote fits well with your values and isn't some rando company. I assume it's more work when selecting potential partnerships, but you are appreciated ❤️

    A good number of pro headphones do have replaceable parts, (the pads, the cable, the top wrap around the headband, etc). They’re also super repairable, and that’s why I bought a pair of Sennheisers for flying a long time ago because while they don’t noise cancel, they do cut the outside noise level by a lot and they are indestructible (and easily fixed if something does go wrong.)

    Menstrual cups are AMAZING 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 they save so much money 💰, there is no more tampon strings, they hold a lot, and they save so much space when traveling!!! There is definitely a learning curve and sometimes the first cup you try isn’t quite right but I have found the Flex cup is the easiest to use and has black silicone which won’t discolor over time!

    - +1 for the wolf blanket. Winner! 👍
    Have a wolf sweater too?
    - Leah makes me feel old (Thanks for that, but I'm still a kid at heart)
    - As a guy, I know too much about the divacup (sat through a presentation of it in college), but do think it's one of those "how come no one thought of this before?" category.

    So funny you included the headphones - my husband has a similar pair of pro headphones and recently one tiny plastic piece broke. I said it was such a shame to have to replace this whole expensive pair of headphones just for that, but he tried fixing it a bunch of ways and it wasn't working... and then he realized they were modular and he could just snap in a replacement part! 🌎 🎧

    Every time you guys mention ecologyst, I make a mental note to check it out. For the Dutch ovens/French ovens, I have a 5Q Le Creuset that is amazing for bread and big meals, but I recently bought a second 2Q one from Aldi and it's be great for smaller dinners! I really do enjoy cooking in them, and the colors are so lovely. Alas, I couldn't make the menstrual cup I tried work, but switched to Nixit and find it really comfortable and effective! Sort of a cup/disk hybrid.

    I got the “Remy” standing desk from Fully for WFH, really great! This is thanks to your channel ;-) Only thing is that you could not get the Bamboo top for the small 9100cm*100cm) but it seems they changed that and as always a lot of plastic in the packaging which is a shame. Always looking for B-Corps or more sustainable orientated brands.

    I was talking about credit unions with a client and they told me that big banks have the same regulations as credit unions when it comes to giving a percentage back to the communities that they are in. For context I live in Indiana so I don’t know if this is true or if it is true but only regional.
    Nonetheless knowing what’s happening with your money when it’s in the bank is arguably more important than voting for president or prime minister.
