In an effort to fully test the Quince leather shopper tote, editor @annemariecontewc used one nearly every day for weeks, and sent a second one for leather expert @tanner.leatherstein to rip apart—yes, you read that right—down to its parts. Together, they discuss Quince’s hefty claims, whether or not it’s comparable to a Coach bag, and if it’s worth the $150 price tag. Head to the link in our bio to read Annemarie’s full investigation into Quince—including research into other Quince products. #style #workbag #laptopbag

Wirecutter travel writer Maria Adelmann interviewed him about packing tips and product recommendations hard-won by his years of crisscrossing the globe. Tap the link in bio to read the story.

How often do you wash your towels? It's recommended to swap them out every three days — though, as long as they're dry, they can stay in the laundry until until you're ready to wash them. Writer Jackie Reeve (@heyjackiereeve) has been testing towels since 2017, so it's safe to say she has *a lot* of experience caring for them. Head to the link in bio to see Jackie's favorites, along with more tips to keeping them clean and smelling fresh. #towel #cleaning #CleanTok

It starts slowly: You see an ant here or there. Perhaps you tell yourself it's just a fluke. But before long (if you're unlucky) you could have a full-blown infestation on your hands. We recommend Terro T300 Liquid Ant Baits, the top pick in Wirecutter’s guide to the best ant killers, as the best way to banish ants from your home. Unfortunately, many staffers have tested it's ant-killing powers in their own homes. For more ant advice, tap the link in our bio. #ants #bugs #productreview

Eight times a week, Tony-nominated actor Tom Francis performs on one of the buzziest stages in the world — Broadway’s @Sunset Blvd. He spends the two-and-a-half-hour show singing, dancing, and moving nearly nonstop. “Someone’s worked out how many miles I’ve done,” Francis told writer Hannah Rimm. “It’s like two marathons.” Hannah couldn’t help but wonder: How in the world does this man go to sleep after that performance? So she went straight to Francis to find out. Tap the link in bio to learn more about his pre- and post-show routines.
