I get the appeal of dollar store slippers, but I’ve gotta push back a little—those things never last for me. The soles always feel thin and weird, and...
That sounds so familiar. My son was all about his manual brush too, and honestly, I pushed the electric one a bit because I’d read it was “better,” bu...
