I use Mrs. Meyers which isn’t as greasy or filmy feeling as something like Dawn. You want just enough dish soap that it’s a little sudsy but mostly water. (This is actually a great all purpose household cleaner). Get your glasses wet, spray them down, rub the soapy water all around, rinse, dry with a microfiber cloth! Do it once or twice a day and if you didn’t with this pair, next time you buy glasses get them with the anti glare oleophobic and hydrophobic coating

It’s one of those small inexpensive changes with big impact. I know it gives 1950s housewife but hear me out.
Pros:
- you can use the hottest possible water
- keeps you from getting premature hand wrinkles
- The lack of sensory input to your hands (water, soap, sponge, gross wet food) allows you to energetically and emotionally separate yourself from the task while you daydream, listen to a podcast, or watch something on a nearby screen.
- after you’re done you take them off and it’s like you were never even there. The only evidence is a pile of clean dishes.
- the threshold for how many dishes you can stand to do increases exponentially, you feel unstoppable. Maybe you shouldn’t take the gloves off yet, maybe you can also wipe down the counters…maybe also take out the garbage…unclog the shower drain. Before you know it you’ve deep cleaned your home. your hands remain obliviously soft and dry.
Cons:
- they tear sometimes and you gotta replace them
I get the extra long ones so water for sure doesn’t get inside

This is uncharacteristically raw and personal, even for me, and pretty heavy! I know many of you have seen me posting through it and I feel safe to talk about it openly now that I’ve safely landed at the start of my new life. It’s honestly even a little bit embarrassing but I think it’s important to share.
I’ve never publicly mentioned it on here, but I have a husband; as of Friday, we’d have been together for 11 years, and we’ve been married for 3 years as of 2/22. I realize now that I wanted to explore what I looked like outside of my relationship with him because I had lost that. This is why PI.FYI has been so meaningful to me as a space to express myself and connect with people—to rediscover my voice.
I had been living a lie this entire time, to others but worst of all to myself. He’s been verbally and emotionally abusive, physically but without touching me, to the point that every day I spent with him I was in danger. I’ve been shrinking myself and walking on eggshells to avoid making him insecure and provoking his casual put-downs and fits of rage, while hanging on for dear life to the threads of good I could see.
I’ve wanted so badly to leave, more than anything, but I felt like there was no way out and that this was just something I would need to endure indefinitely—but someone who is so very dear to me helped me see that I have wings to fly, not by acting as my savior but by reminding me of my own power. The emotional safety they built and the gentle care they showed me made me feel like I could open up to them. With their encouragement I was brave enough to tell the truth to my friends, my family, my boss, and they have received me with warm, loving and open arms and rallied to support and protect me. The financial and logistical aspects were the most intimidating to me and it’s going to be tough for a while but I’m going to be better than okay!
Now I’m opening up to you. This isn’t the only abuse I’ve suffered in my life, and my old therapist told me she believed it was my mission to share my strength and light with others to inspire them and show them that change is possible.
I hope that by sharing this, I can reach even just one person who is going through something similar and show that they are not alone, and they are not weak. People with certain backgrounds may be more vulnerable to abuse, but it can happen to anyone. It thrives in darkness, shame, and isolation—and breaking that silence is the first step toward freedom.
Leaving is the scariest thing I have ever done but I have so many angels around me, and I am endlessly grateful. Thank you for being here with me đź’Ś

My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too 💌
