mzrowanStarting off with the good news: Defunkify is good stuff!
I work from home, and I'm lazy, so my routine is to spend all week wearing the same shirt, then switch to another one the next week. I have a stock of t-shirts in athletic performance fabrics for this very purpose. I happen to be on the low end of the bell curve for body odor, so that generally works out okay. At least, V isn't complaining. ;-) But a while back I noticed that I wasn't getting a week out of my WFH shirts anymore.
Enter Defunkify! They have both an intensive treatment form that you do once every few months (Active Shield), and a detergent to use on a regular basis. I did the treatment and have been using the detergent ever since. Success!
So if you have clothes that seem to be picking up/hanging on to scent, especially in performance fabrics, I highly recommend Defunkify!
The bad news: Topology Eyewear might be good, but fucked if I can find out.
I stumbled across Topology when I found their page on how to choose glasses that will go well with your features. I wanted to love them. The idea is that they take a 3D scan of your face using your iOS device and use it to manufacture frames perfectly tailored to you. I've had a tough time finding glasses that are comfortable, so this seemed ideal! (Turns out I have an unusually wide face? Especially for someone with XX chromosomes?)
When I first tried their app back in March, I was able to use my old iPad to take the scan. I ordered a mock-up pair that was pretty close to perfect. It took them weeks to send it to me. Then my luggage was stolen with my old iPad in it, then a lot of life happened, and then a few days ago I tried to pick the process back up from where I left off. No luck. Apparently they're not accepting those scans anymore, and they're not doing mock-up pairs anymore, and there's no way for me to complete an order without starting over. Oh yeah, and I can't take a scan with anything but an iPhone 10+ now. Which I don't have.
Fortunately for me personally, I currently have a pair of glasses that is very comfortable, so I can just read the measurements off the arm of those and then order some $40 glasses from Zenni. Done. Good luck to Topology – maybe someday they'll be awesome.
