If Memory Foam Isn’t The Perfect Mattress For You, Go Hybrid. Here’s Why!
Earlier this year, I was desperately searching for a mattress that would help me fall asleep and stay asleep all night. If you read my previous story, How Seasonal Changes Impact Your Sleep (Without You Even Knowing), then you know I’ve always struggled to get a good night’s rest. I performed extensive research online and amongst friends, and I ultimately found my Lull Mattress. I still remember the day my premium memory foam bed arrived at my home. I was excited to try something new, but certainly had my doubts. Little did I know that the contents of that simple box would have the power to shift my relationship to sleep forever. After nearly 1 year of resting, not just sleeping, on my Lull Original Mattress, I can honestly say that my life has changed for the better. I’ve gone from tossing and turning all night, to falling into a deep and restful sleep almost immediately. I’ve also noticed that I wake up in a far better mood as opposed to sleeping on my previous spring mattress, and that my Lull regulates my body temperature and cools me down at night.

Springsteen is not an American icon; he’s a global icon who just happens to have been born in the USA. See what I did there?

I’m not going to lie, paddleboarding wasn’t something that I was overly familiar with until my last visit to the US. I remember seeing people paddleboarding on the canal in Dublin city centre from time to time, and that was the height of my experience with paddleboarding.

When I was six years old, my grandfather told me that if a name is written in red ink, death or misfortune will soon follow that person. The color of blood was reserved for names on gravestones or obituaries. Never for those still alive, he said.

New year, new me. It's a cliche saying that we have all said at least once in our lives. At one time or another, we all had this crazy idea that within a year's time we could completely reinvent ourselves and our lives. One thing that remains true every year is it's an unachievable goal and we put way too much stress on ourselves trying to achieve it. Well, this new year I say no more! Instead of a new you this year, how about you strive for a more rested you? Here's how we can do that.

Sarah LoydPublished 2 years ago in PoetsLadies, Stop Playing It Nice.
In our highly opinionated culture of social media blossom, where criticizing became a norm and a pastime, we live life to earn the praise. We show off to impress others, pursue a career widely approved and wanted. Hardly ever do we stop to meditate whether the chase is compatible with our nature.

It was my wedding reception. Let me put this into context for my non-Indian readers. An Indian wedding reception usually happens a day after the wedding. It is an occasion when all friends and family, primarily on the groom’s side, come laden with gifts and good wishes for the newlywed pair. In exchange, the guests have a delectable feast.

Plush Or Firm? Here’s How To Choose The Right Mattress For You
A good night's sleep is vital for every human being to survive — we think everybody can relate to this statement.

The Most Sustainable Way To Sleep, And How To Discover Your Forever Mattress
We all know that sleep is important, but in my house, it’s crucial. When my family doesn’t get enough sleep, the world feels like it’s going to end *que the dramatic music*. My daughters, for example, who are between the ages of five and ten, get very cranky and lazy when they don’t get adequate rest. Beyond the major mood swings, I also know when they haven’t had enough sleep because they will fall asleep anywhere, and I mean anywhere. At the kitchen table, in the car, smushed between the middle seat of an airplane, you name it!

If You Have Chronic Sleep Problems, You’re Not Alone
If a mattress could become your best friend, the Lull Luxe Hybrid would be mine. As parents of a toddler and newborn, the alone time of going to bed with my husband was the one thing we could look forward to each day where it was just us. A time to unwind, relax, catch up, binge watch tv, or simply just have a quiet moment to cuddle. A moment so important and crucial to our relationship quickly became a time of dread. After months of sleeping on an old, poor quality mattress, the one thing we looked forward to turned into hours of tossing and turning, aches and pains, sleepless nights, and waking up feeling even more tired than we were when getting into the bed in the first place.
Mouth Wide Open
The book I brought with me that day was only 98 pages long. Long enough to pass the time sitting in the overly lit, bustling waiting room, but not so long and intricate that it required focused commitment while sitting in the uncomfortable pleather covered chairs. Perfect, I thought, for the longest, shortest, scariest, and loneliest 56 minutes of my life, waiting for news that would decide the future. And it was perfect, as just a few minutes after closing the back cover, they called me back to you. You were still groggy from anesthesia when the doctor arrived and said the words to us. In those extra moments it took you to process ‘pancreatic cancer’, I was alone with the knowledge that our time together had just gotten cut short, back when alone was something I had mistaken thought I had experienced in full.

When I was a child my parents took me to gigs. Maybe not the coolest ones because they had parent taste, but real shows. Asleep at the Wheel, Patty Loveless, the Chieftains. Later on they even drove me and my sister to other states to see certain boy bands that I’m not ready to name. We curled our hair, we waved, we shrieked. It was freaking glorious.

Victoria BezzegPublished 2 years ago in PsycheWant To Read More Classics?
As the new year gets closer and closer you've probably started thinking about your resolutions for 2022. Workout, be more patient, work harder (or less), or maybe even read more? When picking up reading as a habit for the first time or for the first time in a while, it's good to start with simpler, faster paced books. Usually this means avoiding classics as much as possible, but I don't think that has to be the case. Therefore I give you some of my tips and recommendations (as a classics lover) that'll hopefully make it easier to get into reading more classics.
