About us

Two hip ex-journalists raising kids in a crazy-ass time.

Ben and Nicole started their careers as journalists, finding stories in their local communities and reporting them honestly.

They met at the annual Society of Professional Journalists conference, and there was a spark they couldn’t ignore. Nicole moved to Chicago to continue their romance, which led two the birth of two beautiful, filthy boys.

Now, as thirty-something parents, they wake up to new challenges every day. Most of those challenges stem from maintaining a home to two toddlers, and finding the right tools to make each day a little easier. Ben and Nicole painstakingly research the internet, magazines, and their friends before making a purchase.

Now, through Tired Hipster, you can reap the benefits of their time and energy. All their reviews are unsponsored, non-biased, and 100% truthful. Rest assured that all our products are used and abused, and we won’t waste your time with a product we don’t love.

Looking for a product that they haven’t covered yet? Send them a DM or email, and they’ll hop on it (after they finish cleaning up their boys’ latest mess).
