Affordable Luxury Bedding

My bedroom, from childhood to adulthood, has always been my go-to place for not only rest but peace and calmness. Over the past few years, I’ve narrowed down certain things and elements I need and don’t need in my bedroom in order to fully enjoy the ultimate place of rest; mind, body, and soul.

The first thing I realized that I didn’t need nor want in my bedroom was a TV. Even when it’s off, TVs can create a synergy that can be very distracting to your mind and rest. I’m slowly trying to learn to leave my cell phone out of my room at night. I do it occasionally, but that’s still work in progress.

In my bedroom, the main thing I need is a semi-firm mattress decked out in proper and high quality bedding. Yes, bedding is quite important and not just for aesthetic purposes.

When I was younger, and maybe even a couple of years ago, I was more into the color of the sheet and not necessarily the quality. Thread count is a thing for a reason. It counts. Egyptian cotton will make you consider living in your sheets. Toga-style.

However, high thread count and the finest of material, including Egyptian cotton comes at a cost and that cost is usually high…real high. The price of bedding with supreme craftsmanship and quality materials has made it so that some people just don’t know what they are missing, until now. Enter Parachute.

Parachute has created a line of exquisite and affordable luxury bedding without the high price, by pretty much trimming the fat of the middleman and their expenses, which drives up the cost.

With Parachute, you select your size, choose the fabric (Percale, Sateen, Linen-Blend), and color (6 colors and 2 stripe options available) and Parachute sends it right to you. Luxury bedding simply delivered straight to you.

Your bedding is designed in Los Angeles, crafted in Italy, and delivered to you. That simple.

Parachute offers sets, separates, duvet covers, and inserts. Personally, I’m leaning toward a powder blue sateen queen size and white duvet and maybe a couple of sand sateen shams. I’m still feeling very beachy.

Improve Your Posture On The Clock

The older you get, the more you realize what your was parents were nagging you about when you were younger were actually gems to prepare you for the future.

If you would have told me that there would be a point in my life where I would crave for spinach, brussel sprouts, and cabbage, I would have thought you were a.) crazy b.) on an intense acid trip or c.) just down right lying to get a quick chuckle to yourself. However, even at this moment right now, I’m sipping a green juice made mostly of spinach and kale and would kill for some steamed cabbage. Kill might be a little too aggressive for the situation, but I really do want some cabbage right now.

Delicious and fiber filled veggies aside, the one thing that I wished I payed better attention to when I was growing up was good posture. For the past couple of months, while at work, I’ve been catching myself trying to sit up straight in my chair and do stretches in my desk chair all for the sake of improving my posture.

When I initially styled and stocked my bar cart, I wanted to go old hollywood glam. So, I selected glass and silver accessories, which I still love. However, I love gold…too much. Therefore, I’ve been thinking about redoing my bar cart and switching out silver for gold, starting with these Jonathan Adler gold bar accessories.

Jonathan Adler continues to enter my mind and create the perfect aesthetics for my ideal life and home style. His brand is very fun and contemporary with bright colors and cool designs that can easily slide into most decor settings.

When it comes to knick knacks, including in home decor, I’m really into chic and classic designs, with a quirky twist and Jonathan Adler excels at that. Hence, Jonathan Adler’s bar accessories are one of my latest obsessions, including his Brass Hands Nutcracker and Squirrel Bottle Opener, which are perfect.

These little beauts are not only functional, but are cute conversational pieces for your next social gathering.

Noted, I can’t recall having a need for a new bottle opener or nutcracker. However, if that need ever arises for either, I would prefer these be the top choice to the get the job done. Don’t you agree?
