My back pain went poof! It also looks STUNNING, saves space, makes me feel like the main character in an anime, and fixes my sleep schedule. With a traditional bed, I could never fall asleep at night. With this, I instantly fall asleep and wake up at my desired time, even without an alarm — a life-changing product.

To my surprise, this chair is extremely comfortable, high quality, and so so so cute. I've never had a footrest on one of my chairs before but I absolutely love it, because I usually sit with my legs crossed. The materials used for the chair also pleasantly surprised me.
I am someone who is very sensitive and hyperaware of textures, which is why I mention the plush leather and soft fabric accents. The ears on the chair are also very adorable and easily removable, with a hair clip style attachment method built into the chair so it isn't visible. This is one of the best chairs I've ever used!

in a loft...
with a 10-month-old (I'm using them to do just that at this *very* moment; pictured above). Promising review : "It's hard to imagine that these headphones leave any room for improvement. Their spatiality and clarity are excellent.
The accuracy of music reproduction is good enough even to pick up occasional flaws in the original recordings and/or differences in recording processes. Noise cancellation has improved dramatically vs Bose's original entry years ago. Great for use in a gym environment as well as airline travel.

I bought fresh basil a week and a half ago. I immediately used a bit, then put them in this handy-dandy container. I changed the water once.
Last night, I decided to make a little fresh pesto with the basil I had left. It was in perfect condition, and the pesto was amazing! Every kitchen needs at least one or two in it. I’m buying them for my daughter-in-law who also uses a lot of fresh herbs.

I 100% bought these because I thought they were pretty. Turns out, they're also *really* good! We tried several types of bottles when our daughter was born and these were far and away her favorite! It was wild to see how much she preferred them. As she became able to hold a bottle on her own, we found that the plastic holes and silicone interior made them really easy for her to grab.
We now have the larger version (which is on sale today!) and they are great! Promising review: "I decided to try these bottles because I was looking for a new brand of silicone bottle. These are easy to clean, my baby can hold them more easily than other bottles because of the unique design, the flow seems to be good for her, and they look cool.

The material and shape are intended for many uses: drying off after a shower, as a tablecloth, a scarf, a park and beach blanket, and even as a wrap over an outfit. These are gonna look like pieces of textile art hanging in your home *and* on your body.
Oddbird is a luxury textile company making one-of-a-kind, ethically sourced home goods and clothing. Their towels are terrific, the outfits are outstanding, and folks everywhere are basically living in their robes (they have the reviews to prove it). This woman- and-family-owned small business is taking huge steps to bring slow fashion and function to everyday consumers.
I own these towels! I have been an Oddbird customer for several years after one fateful Instagram ad changed my little life . I own products from their clothing line (which were great before pregnancy and *incredible* while pregnant/nursing), my husband and I have a pair of robes, and I recently started slowly collecting different towels from this collection. I don't understand how they can be so lightweight, soft, and absorbent.
..but they are.
Owning really nice towels is my new favorite part of adult life. Get it from Oddbird for $59 (available in seven colors and with customized embroidery). 33.
Gorgeous felt "tile" wall art — these customizable pieces are sound-dampening and pinnable (like cork board) to create decorated walls that have useful functions in the home. This splurge-worthy art has quickly become one of my all-time favorite pieces of decor. I live in a loft that's right in the middle of a music school.
..so it gets loud.
And not necessarily good. Ever heard an hour-long violin lesson from a beginner? It's rough. Having these sound dampeners on the wall has made such a difference! Each display is gorgeous (their color palettes are literally award-winning), and they complement so many different interior design styles (I have the Quilting Star, and if my apartment was cleaner right now, I'd show you).

35. A lovely muslin nursing scarf cut into a clever silhouette so you can wear it as an additional layer of your outfit, rather than finding space to pack a nursing cover in your diaper bag. If you, like me, have a baby who is *way* too interested in the world around them while nursing, this cover is a great way to minimize distractions.
It's so nice having a cover design that you can wear, but it's also lightweight and easy to pack up small. As someone who is constantly searching for baby products that don't look like baby products, I love how chic this is. Honestly, after my baby is grown, I'll probably end up wearing this as an accessory and forget it was ever a nursing cover.
Promising review: "I never write reviews, but I love this SO much I just had to! I hate traditional nursing covers but still like privacy. This is so beautiful and stylish, and is easy to use. It also makes a perfect car seat cover, especially on long car drives when I want him to sleep but still want air circulation.
I’ve washed and dried it several times with no trouble too. The best purchase ever!!" — RP Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (available in five colors).
