Investing in pillows has changed my life! Turns out it’s not worth it to end your night and start your day with a broken neck bc you slept on a $10 ikea sack that has 1 feather and 1 cotton ball inside.
A few years ago I realized I’ve hated every pillow I’ve ever used, so I spent like a week doing research and bought this pillow. It’s amazing. Now I have 5 of them in my house and one that I bring on tour. This pillow has come with me to more countries than most people go in their lives. What a lucky little pillow.
I recently moved and got my own space for bedroom, and the basic things that really helped me are a strong and comfy bed; pillows and bolsters (apparently it helps with posture?); and regularly changing sheets. You're going to use your bed regularly if not everyday, and getting a good sleep for many years is very essential
I threw a dinner party last night and it was so much fun! It’s winter and it’s been pretty bleak, so I thought it be nice to have friends over. This was my first time hosting something completely solo and I thought it would be very stressful but it was smooth sailing and the night was merry and cute! For me this past year has really been about platonically putting myself out there and forging local friendships and last night felt like a cumulation of that effort :-) It wasn’t a super fancy meal, but still, very nice. It’s great to be invited but its also like sometimes you gotta make the magic happen
I’m sitting outside eating a spicy falafel wrap and fries in the best city (Philadelphia), the sun is shining, ambient music is being played directly into my eardrums, I’m texting friends, a child is playing and just leapt over me. I’m wishing everyone I talk to a happy new year :)
