The Buy
Three can’t-live-without products we wish we knew about sooner:
🧼 Designed with pet owners in mind, these washing machine cleaning tablets remove built up odor and hair.
🍖 Perfect for grilling season, this silicone basting brush makes it easy to add oil, butter, or your favorite sauce to items while they’re cooking.
👚 Coined as an iron in a bottle, Downy’s wrinkle release spray is the easiest way to ensure you never leave the house looking less than polished.
This week, I’m headed to what is sure to be a unique film experience. The Speed Cinema is showing silent film star Buster Keaton’s “Sherlock Jr.” scored with R.E.M.'s mid-1990s albums “Monster” and “New Adventures in Hi-Fi.” As a fan of both Keaton and R.E.M, I’m hoping this is a chocolate-peanut butter situation waiting to happen. I’ll let you know how it goes.
