I love the TheraGun Mini I got as a Christmas present for myself, er, my husband. Is it time for an upgrade?
The TheraGun Elite gets deep into your achy and tense muscles. You can customize the speed, massage attachments, and even how you hold the ergonomic multi-grip. It runs for up to two hours without a charge and connects to an app for the ultimate personal massage.
The TheraGun Elite $399 at Amazon and comes in black or white.
P.S. Happy Holi to those who celebrate!

And — here are some of our latest threadjacks of interest – working mom questions asked by the commenters!!
- The concept of “backup care” is so stupid…
- I need tips on managing employees in BigLaw who have to leave for daycare pickup…
- I’m thinking of leaning out to spend more time with my family – how can I find the perfect job for that?
- I’m now a SAHM and my husband needs to step up…
- How can I change my thinking to better recognize some of my husband’s contributions as important, like organizing the shed?
- What are your tips to having a good weekend with kids, especially with little kids? Do you have a set routine or plan?
Hi all – I’m posting this on the main thread too, but wondering what your experiences were going off of birth control after a very long time on it (for me, 27 years, with the exception of pregnancies). I don’t even know my own body well enough at this point to know what my periods will be like – so I guess just looking for anecdotes. (And yes, I’ve talked to my doctor!)
Figured I’d post here again since comments seem to be working better and this a little more “off topic” and for our weekend thread (and thank you Spirograph and AwayEmily for the responses!)
This came up somewhat on a recent main page thread – how often do you all update your “look” for lack of a better term? E.g. I’ve had the same general haircut for the past 10 years and generally wear the same kinds of office and leisure clothes as I did when I first got out of law school. I am vaguely aware of trends but don’t keep up with everything, especially in the last few years when my kids were little. But I wonder if I’m just going to keep this same hairstyle, clothes, etc. for the next 10-15 years? It very much signals me as an “elder millennial mom” but that’s what I am so maybe that’s fine.
Speaking of massages, does anyone have any favorite couples’ retreats with that yoga/massage/sauna/stay in robes all day vibe? Everything I know of is best for single sex outings since so much of that stuff is in the bathroom (sauna, hot/cold pools, aromatherapy showers, etc)…
