Winter is coming and it is time to make home a little more cozy and comfortable. One of the ways Fromgirltogirl is making the indoors a pleasant place to come home to is with plenty of comfy pillows. A pillow in particular we have added at home is the down alternative pillow from GhostBed.

What is a GhostPillow?

The GhostPillow – Faux Down is a luxurious down-filled pillow. It is filled with microfiber gel clusters to offer excellent support for the head, neck, and shoulders. We like that the pillow can accommodate all types of sleeping habits, including side, back, or stomach. We also like the quality air flow of the pillow because cooler sleeping environments can increase the likelihood of a good night’s sleep.

As the holiday gift season begins, this is a gift you cannot go wrong with because the GhostPillow – Faux Down includes:

  • 101-Night Sleep Trial
  • Free Shipping
  • And Industry leading 5-year warranty
  • The pillow is easy to wash

Best of all this luxury pillow isn’t just good for the bedroom. It can also serve as a wonderful addition to your living room design because the wrinkle-free pillow, dust mite free and never goes flat. This is the reason I love to use the pillow while watching my favorite TV shows and movies.

And when I am ready for bed, I grab my pillow from the couch and bring it right along with me for a good night’s sleep. I even bring the pillow along for long travels and I plan to keep some in my car because you never know when a winter storm will have you stranded.

Fall is one of my favorite seasons of the year. I love the fashion, food, and making my home living a little cozier. I am adding the Pinetales Organic Millet Hulls Pillow to my living space.

At home I like to nap between my bedroom and living room space. I work long hours and come home late. I often find myself falling asleep on the sofa. Anyone who has ever fallen asleep on the couch knows without good cushions and pillows, neck pain, back pain, and headaches result.

This Organic Millet Hulls Pillow allows me to have a better sleeping experience on the couch. I have less neck and back pain and lower risk of headaches. It is soft, firm, and has a pleasant coolness to it. Here are the qualities I like most about the Organic Millet Hulls Pillow:

  • Cools my head at night
  • It is cruelty free
  • Breathable and repels heat

The Benefits Of Diffusing Essential Oils

diffusing lemon and orange essential oils

Although there are many ways to use essential oils, inhaling them is one of the most popular options. Special devices known as diffusers send tiny oil particles into the air. Once airborne, they can be inhaled into the body. When you breathe in the oil, your scent receptors send a message to your brain, which then reacts in different ways depending on which essential oil was used. Some of the primary benefits of using a diffuser with essential oils are listed below.

Cleaner air. Using a diffuser with your essential oils can have a purifying effect on the air. Instead of having to rely on sprays or cleaning products with artificial fragrances, you can clean the air naturally using antimicrobial oils like basil. Tea tree oil is particularly powerful when it comes to cleaning the air since it has antimicrobial, antibacterial, and antiviral properties. As a bonus, it can also improve immune function, making it easier to avoid getting sick. Click here for more information.

Better sleep. Many people take advantage of the sleep-promoting properties of essential oils like chamomile and lavender. There are many different ways that you can use oils like these to get better sleep. Diffusers remain one of the most popular options, however, since they are simple to use and the aroma they generate lasts for a long time.

Relax more deeply. The limbic system is the part of the brain in charge of managing your emotions. Part of that job involves controlling your stress levels. The smell from certain essential oils can impact this part of your brain, helping to reduce stressful reactions to events in your life. Some of the oils that are the most effective at fighting stress include vanilla, chamomile, rose, ylang-ylang, and lavender.

Get relief from pain. Some illnesses cause so much pain that they interfere with your ability to function in your daily life. Certain essential oils can help combat pain when you diffuse them into the air. For instance, nausea can be significantly reduced by diffusing peppermint oil, as can migraines. Peppermint oil can also lead to better digestion and can minimize allergies. Breathing problems, menstrual cramps, and heartburn can be relieved by diffusing oregano oil. The pain associated with strep throat or general sore throats can be relieved with sandalwood oil.

Keep pests at bay. Some of the most powerful natural insect repellents are essential oils like citronella and lemon. Peppermint oil does a great job of driving spiders away. In fact, it is so powerful that it is frequently used as an insecticide. Spiders don’t seem to be fans of the oil and are naturally driven away from areas where it is used.

Boost your energy levels. If you want to energize your brain so that you can function more effectively in your everyday life, essential oils may be able to help. Some oils have adaptogenic properties. Essentially, what that means is that they work differently depending on how you are feeling. During periods of stress, they can calm you down. When you are tired, however, those same oils can give you a boost. Some of the most effective oils to try include pine, lemon, orange, and eucalyptus.

Rocking tips to plan a New Year’s Eve party in advance

Couple celebrating new year's eve

Planning for a New Year’s Eve party at home can be very fun, which is exactly what 24 percent of Americans thought at the end of 2018, according to a poll. There may be more party hosts this year if people choose to celebrate at home without having to deal with a huge crowd. If you are one of those who want to host their own celebration at home, you need to prepare ahead of time by knowing what your guests would love to see or drink to start a brand new year with a bang. For foolproof party-planning in advance, here are some tips for hosting a New Year’s Eve bash that is one for the books.

Prepare An Unforgettable New Year’s Eve Party Ambiance

Nothing says “Happy New Year!” like a well-decorated house that suits the theme of your celebration. Your guests should always feel right at home upon entering your venue so everyone can relax and enjoy each other’s company while waiting for the clock to strike 12. You might want to enhance the mood by placing charming candle arrangements that you curated or bought from the store beforehand to give it a warmer glow. Since you are planning a party in advance, you will have ample time to design a candle arrangement that will illuminate the place and provide a subtle hint of fragrance to mask some of the unwanted smells.

If you decided on the theme of the party as early as possible, you will be able to purchase your decoration materials at a fraction of the cost. Many online party supplies shops offer huge discounts on New Year balloon letter kits, party hats, noise party sticks, and danglers that you can use to decorate your venue. Most of these are leftovers from the previous year’s celebration, so make sure that the items do not mention a specific year.

If you want more savings, you can gradually start working on do-it-yourself party decors during your free time so you don’t need to buy from the stores. This is also a good idea if you want to customize your party according to your theme to make it standout. You can also ask your guests to come in a specific color scheme and bring their own DIY party hats to showcase their personality.

Make A Curated Party Cuisine

You need to think about food that you will serve for the party in advance to get it out of the way. Part of the planning is choosing whether to serve your guests a sit down meal or set up a buffet table where they can choose their own food. You also need to choose the dishes that you will serve. List down your menu so it will be easier for you to shop for the ingredients that you will need for cooking before the lines at the grocery get crazy.

If you want your party catered by your favorite restaurant, you must notify the manager as early as possible. Remember, New Year’s Eve can be a very busy day for most food establishments. Call them ahead of time to make sure that they can accommodate your party, so you can make adjustments when needed.

Also, you need to consider your guests’ preferences, especially if they have food allergies. Ask them beforehand if they need to avoid certain foods and inform your caterer right away. This will prevent any unwanted incidents during your party.

Set The Mood With Music And Games

For a fun New Year’s Eve party, you need to select the type of music that suits the theme and download them at least a week before the event. You can select the songs based on your theme and arrange them according to the mood that you want your party to have. You can also ask your friends for suggestions or to send you their favorite songs that fit the party’s theme. Then add it to your playlist.

You can also ask them to pick the kinds of parlor games that they want to play while waiting for midnight. There are plenty of fun party game suggestions for adults online. Pick those that you think you and your friends will enjoy. You can practice playing the game first before the actual event to know if you and your guests will like it.

To make sure that your guests will never forget your New Year’s Eve party for the months and years to come, you can also buy disposable or Polaroid cameras to capture all the fun during the party and distribute it as soon as they arrive. Let them snap their favorite memories during the celebration and have it printed or shared online after the party. This will make all your efforts in staging an epic party in advance pay off.

You can now begin planning a New Year’s Eve bash that your family and friends will never forget!

Think outside the box this Easter for the perfect gifts

Happy Easter card with flowers and chocolate.

Easter is quickly approaching and it’s the perfect time to show your friends and family how much they mean to you by spoiling them a little. Over 90% of Americans plan to include chocolate or candy in Easter baskets this year, making it a firm part of the Easter traditions and celebrations. But eggs are not the most unique gift and you’ll probably find that your loved ones get more than their fair share over Easter – so why not surprise them with something a little more special?

Beauty boxes

Whether your best friend won’t be seen without a full face of makeup or like to regularly try out different hair care products, getting him/her a beauty box is a great way to show how much he/she means to you this Easter. Signing up to a subscription box will give them a selection of treats on a regular basis, making it easy to try out different products and experiment with their look. Some of the makers of beauty boxes are even making their boxes Easter-themed by turning them into an egg shape and including some mini chocolate eggs.

Put together a baking hamper

Got a loved one who loves to bake? Depending on what the person enjoys most, you can put a hamper together that contains the tools and supplies needed for him/her to make his/her own Easter eggs, treats to put inside the eggs, and different chocolates for them to use. If the person is more of a baker, gift him/her some Easter-themed cake molds, different colored icings, cake toppers, and other decorations. Or perhaps you’re the one who loves to bake, in which case you could make a customized Easter egg with their favorite treats inside or a personalized cake. Personalized gifts are trending and show that you’ve put both thought and time into the gift.

Chocolate Bouquet of Flowers

All girls love chocolate and some will be plain disappointed if they don’t get any for Easter. This doesn’t mean you have to go for a basic egg though. Girls also love flowers, so merge the two together and make a bouquet of flowers out of chocolate for them. You can buy ready-made bouquets, get chocolate shaped flowers and put them together yourself or do the whole thing from scratch, depending on how confident you’re feeling. You’ll need some sort of pot or vase as a base to sit the chocolate flowers in and using some ribbon can help to bunch them together and make it look pretty. You could also add a bottle of something or a big bar of chocolate to the middle as a centerpiece and an extra treat for the recipient.

Personalized gifts are a great way to show the favorite people in your life just how much they mean to you this Easter, but you can also buy them some thoughtful treats that they’ll love just as much. While chocolate eggs and other candy is a popular choice, unique gifts show that you’ve put extra thought into it.
