effortless sleepphones
product review
I'm a big fan of the AcousticSheep SleepPhones, marketed as pajamas for your ears. When my corded version finally gave out after several years of almost-nightly use, rather than replace the cord, I decided to try the Effortless wireless version instead.

Pajamas for your ears! Headphones and earplugs are uncomfortable and fall out of your ears. These sleepphones are soft and cozy, with flat speakers to listen to your meditation, music or white noise.

butterfly ergonomic non-flat anti fatigue standing desk mat product review
If you use a standing desk, this feels wonderful on your feet. The bonus knobby parts feel good and give you options.
I don't care for the butterfly shape or the big Butterfly on the back, but it's still a great mat for a standing desk.

It's TSA-friendly so no undressing at the airport. It's made of recyclable materials and has a cool gel grip inside so you don't even need belt loops! I need one in every color.
