No more ear pain

 Honestly, I hate in-the-ear headphones and have only been able to use over-the-ear headphones until my husband told me about bone-conduction headphones. I was intrigued and wanted to try them out. Luckily I was sent a pair of bone-conduction headphones by Wigfar to review and I am in love. 

I like over-the-ear headphones but they always leave my delicate ears in pain which I think is from the headphones pushing on my ears on top of where my glasses are. With these bone-conduction headphones, I don't deal with this. They run behind the back of my head so I can comfortably wear my hair up or down it doesn't matter. They are lightweight, pair up easily by Bluetooth and sit gently on the Tragus by your ear. I can also wear my glasses with them and haven't had any pain. That was the big seller for me. 

Now for a few reasons why I love these. A few of my girls are runners and I was constantly telling them to leave one headphone out of their ear so they could hear their surroundings while they were running so they would be more aware of nearby danger. With that being said depending on how loud you have the volume set others may hear what you are listening to but I find that I can have these set at a much lower volume because the sound is so clear. Again when my children have headphones on in the house, they often can not hear when someone is calling them so these are able to be used and you are still aware of everything around you. 

These would be great for exercise, relaxing, while cleaning your home, watching your favorite show, or even taking phone calls. 

If you are looking for noise-canceling headphones these are not for you. These are headphones where you can listen to your favorite music, podcasts, etc, and not have to worry about missing out on anything that is going on around you. Check them out below. 

Squishy mats

Recently I was able to try out Squishy Mats for ourselves and I am glad we did. I gifted one to my husband's cousin for her pet to enjoy while we kept one for ourselves. This mat can be used for more then just babies or pets. This can be used by anyone. 

One of my favorite places to take this is when I know we are going to a place with hard seats that we will be stuck in for a while. Really helps you stay comfortable longer. Great for getting down on the floor with your kids to play. I have Fibromyalgia so this makes a big difference in my comfort when kneeling or interacting with my children on the floor. It also encourages me to do it more often. 

No more hard stadium seats, cement, or grass, now you can enjoy comfort all around. This can even be used in cars, wheel chairs, etc. This is a great item that has versatility to make a world of difference in many ages of life, be it a pet, or a human. 

I have the Squishy mat in 3x3' floor mat - folds and fastens with  a carrying bag. They also have two other sizes 16x32" Changing Mat - folds and fastens with a carrying handle, and 4x4' floor mat - folds and fastens with a carrying handle.

What Squishy Mats have to say about their products.

What is a Squishy Mat?
Squishy Mats contain almost one inch of Memory Foam - also known as the low resistance polyurethane foam developed by NASA in the 1960s. The surface of each mat is covered by a super soft, micro-flannel fabric and is backed with a nonslip rubber grid. Each mat is durable, sturdy and designed for life on the move.

How does it feel?
In a word, SQUISHY! Memory Foam is known for its use in mattresses, pillows and even some shoes; it has incredible give and easily returns to its original shape. You and your child will love the luxurious feel of the minky micro flannel top as it glides under your fingers. With nonslip rubber backing, your child won't get wrapped up as he plays, and it won't slide out from under baby if you (or your pet) step on it!

Slim Sleeper Latex Pillow

As soon as this pillow came into our home my daughter claimed it for herself. I explained to her that there was a pillow, a cover, and that she is to use a pillowcase on top. The zippered cover is to be washed if she were to get sick or it becomes wet, etc. She loves this pillow. I like big fluffy pillows so this is a bit too thin for me.

I have found however this is great for laying on the couch with since it our couch has raised sides this is really comfortable to use on the couch. I would love to see this in a bigger pillow as well.

This slim sleeper can be found on Amazon.



This pillow is specifically engineered for back and stomach sleepers who struggle with neck and shoulder pain. For these folks, finding a pillow that is "just right" can be super, super tough. 

This pillow does the trick!

First, it's actually thin. Very few thin pillows are actually as thin as they say. This pillow is only 2.75 inches. Secondly, it's made with ventilated latex technology that helps it retain its shape and keep it cool. 

This really is the best thin pillow on the market!
