Cutting back on the clutter
OK, time for another phone charger. But this one is kinda unique. Not only is it a retractable cable combined with the wall plug, it is a quality product with serious attention to detail. Yes, we were sent this product free to review, but I would totally buy more of these if I need any …
What would Things That Fold be without a little homage to the guru of all things folding, Marie Kondo? Even though I haven’t gone full KonMari (yet), her empathetic and functional style has changed my life. After reading her book and bingeing her Netflix special, I finally learned how to part with the quasi-sentimental items …
Right off the bat, let me get something off my chest. I DID NOT WANT TO BUY A HUMIDIFIER. Let me repeat that just a little louder. I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY DID NOT WANT TO BUY ANOTHER PIECE OF JUNK TO CLUTTER UP MY APARTMENT. They get gross inside, take up space that I don’t …
Hello! Friend and neighbor of the Things That Fold team here to contribute a guest post to one of my favorite blogs! I’m a fellow New Yorker and tiny apartment dweller, and I love nothing more than maximizing every inch of storage space I can. While my studio is low on square footage, I’m blessed …
You might wonder, why review a hairbrush? I mean a hairbrush is a hairbrush, right? Not when you have super thick, long hair that routinely makes hair stylists call for backup. I’m a hairbrush breaker. The bristles don’t pull the knots out of my hair – my hair pulls the bristles out of the brush. …
Well I never thought I would care so much about a phone charger. It’s one of those things that is just kind of there, you know, like a doorknob or a fork. It gets the job done. But if you think about how dependent we are on these little devices, how often we use them, …
This drying rack has proven to be essential in our tiny apartment. It folds up unobtrusively when not in use but expands to hold quite a few items. So far it hasn’t sagged or bent under the weight of heavy blankets or wet jeans. The over the door hooks make it easy to set up …
When I first bought this product I had grand visions of folding it up and stashing it in a cabinet between uses. HAHAHAHAHA. Yup, what a joke. This thing is literally always in use. As any parent of a toddler can tell you – laundry is never ending! [Jan 2020 Update: The hanger is available …
For those of you not yet in on the menstrual cup trend, I’ll spare you the evangelizing (Better for the environment! Saves money!) found in nearly every publication marketed towards women. I admit I was a holdout as seemingly everyone ditched tampons and pads in favor of the the newest cool-girl must-have. I don’t …
One of the annoying things about back pain is the clutter of braces, supports, cushions, heat packs, etc. that come with it. I was increasingly frustrated with finding a place to store all of the things that no longer helped, and wished I could bring the ones I loved when I would go away for …
As a super type-A person I always need to be prepared for everything. That means taking my rainboots with me more often than I really need to. Thankfully Hunter has made this a bit easier with rainboots that actually fold down to fit in a bag. Another bonus is that the flexible material is more …
