Purchases that improved your life

[Pimpus]

Here are my reviews of some purchases I made ITT.

Neti pot - I actually posted this in this thread but man, it's just so nice to actually be able to breathe through my nose. I don't know how I ever survived a winter without one.
Falim gum - this is the best gum I ever tried, gave it 5 stars on amazon. Not sure if it's life-improving but whatever.
5-HTP - Drastically improved my mood, I'm not typically affected by placebo so I think this is legit, has no side effects or withdrawal symptoms like other anti-depressants either.Probably the most important purchase I've ever made.
Squatty potty - ok so I tried one of these things, only used it twice so far. My poop comes out faster but there's unfortunately still a lot of wiping that needs to be done after. Not sure if this purchase is worth it, yet.

toss one in your hydroflask, filters out toxins and adds healthy minerals nom sayin

Been seeing this a lot lately, looks interesting. A lot of people actually ingest this stuff which I'm not sure its a good idea, it absorbs tons of iodine and could leave you with an iodine deficiency. Seems like a good thing to put in my hydroflask though. Apparently they already use this stuff in filters.

As a big music listener I indulged in hifi speakers and honestly they're amazing for anybody who appreciates music and quality sound.

If you plan on getting these you have to pair them with a good amp which will run close to as much as the speakers and a dac. My setup cost me about $3300 but in the end I don't regret it. I know these will last me for 10+ years and I'll be listening to music the way it was intended to sound.

fuark nice man, just dropped a pretty penny on some B&W cm8's + yamaha receiver, but those KEF ls50's are supposed to be the bee's knees.

Here's a new kitchen knife I bought, really enjoying it so far. Definitely an upgrade from the walmart knives my mother gave me when I started undergrad.

this thread is bunged full of these juicers, blenders and similar things for making protein shakes or juices or whatever. I can't for the life of me understand why anyone would use one over a handheld one like this

you can buy ones for a fraction of the cost with blades that won't break, take up less space, no parts that can leak or break and less stuff to clean

srs brahs if a juice blender improves your life so much, use a better blender

You obviously have never used a Vitamix or a Blendtec. And immersion blender isn't even in the same category as a regular blender, let alone a Vitamix or a Blendtec.

[endurancell]

PROTIP: if you're serious about spending ~$500 on vitamix for whatever reason, buy it at bed bath and beyond. 20% off right off the bat, knocks it down to $400. plus their return policy basically guarantees a life time warranty with BBB, not the manufacturer. If anything ever goes wrong with the blender you are free to exchange it for a BRAND NEW one. you don't even need the box or receipt, as long as you bought it from their store. no time limit, you can exchange it for a new one after 5 years of use. dead srs

If you want to keep the box just to be safe and make it easier for them to look it up by scanning, feel free. If you want to keep the receipt to get a refund in the future, that is also an option. I would recommend the new nutribullet rx personally, much less exensive, crazy powerful motor and the new cup sizes are huge. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THEIR POLICY with anything you buy from their store; blenders, toaster ovens, vacuums, sheets, anything.

Wow nice, what is your setup?

36 pages in..

Thinking about getting a pvc pipe/foam roller, lacrosse ball, and hair trimmers.

Seen that conair, body groomer for back, and body trimmer. Do people that have the back groomer with the long handle (what's it called again?) use that for the rest of their body too?

really good

[hysterikz]

really good

short and sweet reply, i'll take your word for it.

is it useful for all skin types?

[Bodybreak]

Aside from the all the benefits this stuff tastes incredible on anything. Eggs, toast, pancakes, etc. Use it as your new baking oil for everything.

[LinuxJon]

How does this stuff taste blended with water instead of milk?

I bought this about 4 or 5 years ago and it's the best coffee I've made. So much smoother and with more caffeine. Cleanup is kind of a pain in the arse but totally worth it.

My DSLR.

Got me a new job
More money

More oppurtunities
More girls
Sense of self confidence when people like my work

Stationery Bike (when cutting) and Macbook Air.

Why not pay the extra �150 for Macbook Pro?

[KrisH1991]

Ordered those Xylimelts someone linked earlier because I mouthbreathe at night. Means I wake up with a dry mouth and throat, some slime in my throat etc every morning.
I asked a friend to get me the full text of that one study about it, sadly the study is a non-blind study with n=20 and no control group and it's based on self-reporting so it's of no real value.
Decided to order a try-out package of 12 discs for only 3.20 euro(shipping costs) anyway because it's cheap as fuk and worth a shot.
Tried one out last night after they arrived and I woke up without a dry mouth/throat, and only a little bit of slime in my throat but I have a cold atm so the slime could be from that as well. Ofcourse further testing is required to really give a definitive conclusion about the product. I only used one last night, they recommend using two discs for sleeping but some users claim one is enough for them. Gonna test it out with one again this night, then tomorrow night I'm gonna try 2 of them and see if there's a noticeable difference.

Also ordered a whiteboard to keep up with study deadlines and to help with productivity in general. I use Rainmeter with July Flatish for the notes and LinePlanner for the calendar to track my study deadlines on my computer desktop currently.

Might put the HydroFlask on my Christmas Want List.

KINDLE PAPERWHITE



I think this is a pretty big deal. Like getting faster internet speed. I read a lot and often the books are just too heavy to lug around so I don't read them. With a Kindle I am breezing through books and it always goes back to where you stopped reading. I can't believe I didn't have one for so long. Anyway, any ereader is probably decent. If you read get one.

Candle Wax Warmer.

My always smells buriful. As for selection with wax cubes.. you can go anywhere from Walmart to even Kroger. I love the versatility you have with this thing. A typical wax cube lasts for 3-4 days then i switch it out.
Reps for all the great ideas brahs. 10/10 thread

EDIT: By the way, my favorite scent would have to be Glade's Sage & Thyme Market. HNNGGGGGG

I thought this was a thread for purchases that improved your life; not left you with no life.

[KReyn]

Any brahs on here ever purchase any good shoe cleaning repair kits? I need to get some for leather, suede, and canvas.

no I haven't, but you'll have a hard time convincing me that a $400 blender (lolwut?) will somehow blend up fruit and ice cubes better than the one I have used. There is no such thing as food being 'blended better' than what another can do, food is either broken up so there are no more solid pieces, or it is not. mine breaks it up so it works equally well. assuming a blender works, longevity of the machine is about the only difference worth paying for

can't believe you would spend hundreds of dollars on one, srs. you could go on holidays for that much money!
