Alexa, please streamline my life. Despite the intrigue of making the world’s best girlfriend my BFF, I have never been one to rely on modern-day tech to help me navigate my life. While everyone is on an iPhone 100, I’m holding tight to an old dinged-up version until it finally bites the dust. Kindles are cute but make the pleasure of dog-earing a page impossible. And, of course, walking back and forth to check on my old school tea kettle isn’t just a necessity—it’s my cardio. But still, the conversation surrounding the best home gadgets holds strong.
Growing up, I lived by the principle that shortcuts were never the best way. That whole earn-it-and-learn-it mentality got me through a lot of years (with success). But lately, I find myself enamored by my life’s luxe little upgrades. Maybe the Nest installed in my friend’s mid-century mod Hyde Park home would be great to keep our home energy efficient. (Bonus: I’ve heard that a Ring doorbell is the easiest way to avoid chatty neighbors who swing by unannounced.)
