Thoughtful product recommendations for overthinkers + maximalists

Welcome, fellow thought daughters, people pleasers, over-analyzers, and “no worries” worriers.

IT’S ALL ABOUT THE WHY

Great news: I’m already overthinking everything so you don’t have to!

As a former fashion buyer and current e-commerce marketing executive for a celebrity brand, I’m literally paid to decide what products will outperform the rest.

As an avid reader, I am on a quest always to be learning, and I love pulling from diverse authors and genres.

As an amateur interior designer with an architectural studies background, I believe more is always more and older is always better.

And as an over-thinker, I research everything I purchase for longer than I’m willing to admit.

Consider me your more personal version of The Strategist or Wirecutter.

Whether you're looking for the perfect throw pillow, a cookbook that actually gets used, or a skincare product worth the hype, I've done the research (and the overthinking) for you.

Every recommendation on this site is something I've personally tested or would confidently gift to a friend.

HI THERE. I’M AMY. (she/her)

This is a safe space for anyone who was accused of asking too many questions as a child.

It’s never wrong to ask the why.

IT'S ME, HI. 👋🏻

IT’S AMY WITH A BLOG

Why read? Why buy? Why visit? Why watch? Why listen?
