I am passionate about helping people solve problems. I also love to evangelize about things that I love. These two interests come together here at This You Need, where I tell you about he best thing to fix an issue, make life easier, or just give you a serotonin boost.

Let’s be real: This is a shopping blog. I’m not going to argue with you about whether or not capitalism is a prison and that we should focus less on consuming all the time. I don’t disagree. But I do think that there’s a special kind of satisfaction that comes with having a problem or need, and then having that remedied by finding the one perfect solution. Maybe that solution is a lipstick. And that’s ok!

A few of my most popular posts are the ones about Accutane, Peloton, and disability, but I’ve covered everything from dog bowls to nanocurrent devices. If I love it, I’m going to tell you about it.

My policy is to only write about things I love (I don’t do reviews just because a company asked for one), and I will always disclose when something has been provided for free. I do use affiliate links and ads, but you can ignore them if you want, I’ll never know!
