This article highlights several inexpensive upgrades that can significantly improve daily life. Topics include investing in a better shower head, noise-canceling headphones, quality boots, essential kitchen knives, and real maple syrup.
"A good shower head. Even if you rent, swapping out the default shower head for one that will help with low pressure is a life changer. Swap it back when you're moving out. When I was renting, money was tight but it is a necessary splurge.""Speakman brand is the best. I noticed them at multiple hotels and got one for home and the pressure is so much better than Kohler or Delta I've had in the past.
"Custom orthotics. Spent $300 since I have flat feet on some custom molded orthotics. Got them in 2016, and my podiatrist told me yesterday that they are still in good shape. My feet and ankles thank me eight years later." "My countertop dishwasher. I have a studio apartment with no dishwasher included, and the $400 was well spent on it not to have to hand wash dishes all the time.". I hate scooping litter more than anything. I hate the smell of cat pee, but I love my kitties. I was using premium litter in a normal litter box, but I was able to switch to a cheaper litter without increasing smells. Plus, I go through litter about 40% slower with the auto sifter.
