5 Expensive Things that (Quietly) Improved My Life

Everyone has a different definition and a different barometer of what “expensive” means, but in this video, I share five things that although, are much more expensive than available alternatives, have been worth it to me in the long run. =============== TIMELINE + LINKS =============== Some of the links below are affiliate links.

This one is just the closest in size, price, and high customer ratings. AGAIN… I AM NOT knowledgeable about all the nuances of different rubber cutting boards. If you want the exact one I use (which I'm very happy with) please google “Hasegawa Pro Soft Cutting Board” and you will find a local retailer as well as all available sizes. 2:00 Thing Two 🔗👉 Chef’sChoice Knife Sharpener on Amazon: https://amzn.to/49FXxFk 🔗👉 My favourite best-bang-for-buck Chef’s Knife on Amazon: https://amzn.to/4hRzrtl 🚨👆 I used this for about seven years, before switching to a new one last year. The current knives I use are the “Chef’s Knife” and “Utility Knife” by a company called Misen. They were a housewarming gift I received when I moved a few months ago, and because I haven’t put them through their paces enough, I can’t give a confident opinion on them yet (but just writing this in case anyone really likes the way they LOOK, with their green handles etc). 3:08 Thing Three 📺👉 The EXCELLENT self-cut tutorial I used: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrTC5D-zYBs 🔗👉 BabyLiss Pro MetalFX Clippers on Amazon: https://amzn.to/4hSTU11 🚨👆 This one is crazy-expensive - ESPECIALLY for a non-professional like me. But like I said, with the average basic barbershop cut costing about $40 dollars where I live, and my preference of getting a cut once every two weeks, even THIS crazy-expensive one paid for itself within three months (not to mention the savings on time and gasoline from not needing to drive). 🔗👉 5-in-1 Spray for Clippers on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3JSlEpQ 🚨👆 Regardless of which clippers you get, pretty much every barber nowadays uses this to keep them clean, lubricated, and disinfected 4:27 Important Note 5:12 Thing Four 🔗👉 Shark WandVac on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3Xnbqkk 6:38 Thing Five Since every Ikea website around the world has different webpage links, the easiest way to find these drawer units (if you’re interested), is to go to your local Ikea website, and search for item number: 804.854.23 … yes… literally copy-paste that number into the search bar of your local ikea website. 🚨👆ALSO… this is the first time I learned about the insane arbitrage between Ikea’s worldwide. The Ikea Canada website lists this for $149 Canadian dollars, which is about $110 US dollars, HOWEVER, the Ikea USA website lists it for $199 US dollars, which means, Canadian Ikea is selling it for almost 50% LESS than USA Ikea… very weird. #EverydayUSE #Home #WorthIt Want to connect more?
