This. I’m a hairdresser and people just do not have the time it takes to create or sit for these elaborate hairstyles any longer. Also, hygiene habits have changed. Most people shower, not bathe, and women would keep these hairstyles for one to two weeks before washing them out and redoing. Most women won’t go one day without washing their hair now.


This is kind of cheesy probably but I upgraded to the Pixel 9 Pro XL and added on the Pixel Watch 3 (45mm), as well as the Pixel Buds Pro 2 earbuds the year before last. I had exclusively used cheap budget Android phones and wired earbuds before. I did already have a Samsung Watch 5 but I got the Pixel Watch 3 for the total current generation ecosystem experience at the time. It is so much more elevated than my scene prior to that. The Pro 2 earbuds are fricking phenomenal. I sleep with them every single night without any discomfort whatsoever and both buds are still in my ears when I wake up virtually every day. Anyway, I was shocked at how much more pleasurable it made my interaction with personal tech. I will likely never spring for all new gadgets again but I will continue to buy the flagship level devices from now on, even if I’m buying them a couple of years old on Swappa.


I agree with this. I have a friend who is a pediatric dentist and she said to get a sonic toothbrush and use it the rest of my life. It immediately made a difference and I credit it and regular thorough non-alcohol mouthwash rinsing with keeping dental infections at bay, which I was prone to beforehand.
