Okay so my cleaning supplies situation is genuinely out of control and i need help

everything is just kind of piled under the sink right now. bottles tipping over, sponges somewhere in the back, i have definitely bought the same spray twice because i forgot i already had one buried in there

someone mentioned hanging organizers in a comment and i looked it up and now i am more confused than before. there are ones that go over doors, ones that mount on walls, ones with pockets, ones with hooks, some are metal some are plastic and i genuinely do not know what the difference matters

been looking at a few on Alibaba and the prices seem reasonable but i cannot tell from photos whether they actually hold up once you put real weight on them or if they just look good empty

also not sure whether the over door ones work on thick cabinet doors or if that's even a thing to worry about. Someone who actually has one of these please tell me what you got and whether it was actually worth it

Hello guyz, so I moved into a smaller place earlier this year and my full size appliances made zero sense anymore

The big rice cooker alone was taking up a third of my counter. had to make some decisions

started replacing things slowly, mini this, compact that. and honestly some of the smaller versions work just as well if not better because you stop cooking in bulk and actually eat what you make which is a whole separate revelation

the air fryer was the first real win. small one, fits perfectly in the corner, use it almost every day. found a decent one on Alibaba and it has not let me down yet

the thing i was not expecting is how much counter space changes your mood in a small kitchen. cleared two appliances and the whole place felt less suffocating somehow

still going back and forth on a mini blender. the ones i have looked at seem fine for smoothies but i make a lot of sauces and i am not sure they handle that without complaining

what are you guys actually using in small kitchens that you would genuinely repurchase

I got caught in the rain three times last week wearing a hoodie and i think that was enough of a sign The hoodie thing works until it really doesn't. Once it's soaked it's just a cold wet blanket on your shoulders for the rest of the day. Since this weather may go on for a while I have started looking at rain jackets and honestly did not expect there to be this many options. packable ones, membrane ones, softshell, hardshell, people in forums arguing about breathability ratings like it's a religion.

I have come across a few interesting ones on Alibaba. Hard to tell from photos alone whether they actually repel water or just look like they do. What i actually need is something i can scrunch into my bag in the morning and forget about until the sky decides to be dramatic. nothing bulky, nothing that makes me look like i am about to summit a mountain on my way to the office. It just needs to be waterproof and light seems simple enough but apparently it is a whole thing.  Has anyone found something that actually works for just normal everyday use

so i finally swapped out my stock pedals last month and honestly i should have done it way sooner

The entire time I was using whatever came with the bike, those thin plastic ones that feel like you're balancing on a ruler. The downside was that I kept slipping especially when it rained, After changing them I ended up going with metal flat pedals, the ones with the small pins on the surface. found a decent pair on Alibaba for like $6. The difference was immediate, the foot just sits there and doesn't move. even with wet shoes

The only thing i'd say is check the width before you buy. my first pair were too narrow and i had to return them. The wider ones made a huge difference for comfort on longer rides. I am still not sure if i should try clipless next. People swear by them but having my feet locked in while navigating traffic honestly sounds terrifying. Anyway what did you guys upgrade to and did it actually change how the bike feels day to day

I have been running a small home business for a few months now and i swear one of the things I hate spending on most is the printer . First the printer ink, then the cartridges running out mid label, you replace it, two weeks later same thing. Its is a cycle that makes no sense.

 Someone mentioned thermal printers offhand in a comment somewhere and i fell into a research hole at midnight which is never good for my wallet and found a few options on Alibaba ranging from $25 to around $60. I have not pulled the trigger yet because i genuinely cannot tell what separates them besides the price and the brand name on the front

My setup is pretty simple, small volume daily, mostly shipping labels and the occasional receipt. nothing crazy. What’s making me delay the purchase is I cannot tell the main difference between the cheaper ones and the a bit expensive ones.Also does bluetooth actually work reliably on the budget ones or is that where they cut corners

I recently bought a new phone and now I want to get one of those wireless power banks that have magnets since I move around a lot during the day and carrying charging cables everywhere is honestly becoming annoying. The cables connecting the devices are always all over the place. I have been seeing a lot of them on Alibaba but I cannot quite decide which one is actually worth buying.

What I’m looking for is something not small enough to fit into my pocket, at the same time the powerbank should be able to charge my phone to full capacity at least once within the day. One thing I am really concerned about is over heating because I have heard some magnetic power banks tend to get very hot during charging. I also want one with a strong magnet that does not easily fall off while walking around or using the phone.

I do not necessarily need the most expensive option but I would still like something reliable that will last me a long time. Looking forward to hearing your recommendations and experiences with the ones you have used before.

Sometimes I feel like we are in a toxic relationship with my beard. Yes, I do love it, but when it's time to trim it, my skin kind of overreacts and the skin starts breaking out. I have been on Alibaba looking at different gadgets, reading their descriptions and obvious hype, and I can tell from the description that they are not any different from the gadgets I have been using before. It's obviously marketing. So this is a question to the men with thick beard what gadget do you use to get your beard right.

I have been thinking about letting the beard grow but that may seem a little bit inappropriate for my line of work.The problem is that I really do not know whether I should focus more on getting a quality trimmer, an electric shaver, or one of those grooming kits that come with a hundred attachments that most people probably never even use. Before spending money on another gadget that may irritate my skin again, I figured it would be better to get opinions from people with firsthand experience

With my newfound passion for cooking, I am planning on going for kitchen knife shopping. Currently, I do not know much about kitchen knives, but I’m willing to learn. I read somewhere that the main reason my life could be boring is that I do not have side quests. That is when I settled on learning how to cook. So far, so good. I’m crushing it. 
Last weekend, I decided to do some research on kitchen knives on Alibaba and other sites. One of the knives that kept being recommended to me is the Victorinox Fibrox. Most sites I visited kept proposing this knife as a beginner-friendly knife. However, before settling for it, I needed to get opinions from real professionals or people with firsthand experience on knives. That said, this is the best place to get such information. So, if you don’t mind, can someone please direct me to the right direction? Also, I would be very grateful if I received more suggestions for more knives in the same category.

Recently, I have been misplacing my things a lot, from keys to some of my small pouches. I really do not know what is going on, I just can’t seem to remember where I place my different items, then I end up wasting too much time looking for the items. So yesterday, it finally hit me, I need to get those Bluetooth trackers. Those that help you easily find some of the stuff that you often misplace. I have been snooping around on Alibaba and Amazon, trying to find the best Bluetooth tracker, but somehow I just can’t seem to settle on one brand.

First of all, I am not tech savvy, matters tech I kinda struggle. However, if I do not get someone to advise me on the tracker that I should get, I most probably will make a choice based on the reputation of a brand. Maybe choose something like Samsung just because of how big the brand is. This now introduces other risks since I may end up not getting the best product out there. If you can help, please advise accordingly.

Is there anyone using Wise here? How is it and are there limitations like in Paypal
