Bucky, Organic Cotton Buckwheat Bed Pillow.

I was first introduced to buckwheat pillows as a kid when I was an Air Force brat living in Japan. Years later, as an adult in search of the perfect pillow, I discovered Bucky's Organic Cotton Buckwheat Bed Pillow. The buckwheat hulls can be "fluffed" to the exact height and shape needed for any sleeping position and RETAINS the desired shape and height while sleeping. The interlocking nature of buckwheat hulls DOES what all other pillow filling attempts to do--it provides the pressure-relieving support that allows neck muscles to truly relax while sleeping. Goodbye, sore neck! Buckwheat hulls are also eco-friendly, hypoallergenic, and naturally antimicrobial.

It Cosmetics: Lash Blowout Mascara

This mascara makes my eyelashes look amazing and stays on my lashes all day. The tube lasts a long time. I have tried many, many brands of mascara. This is the only mascara that I have found that does not make my eyes itchy. It's so comfortable that I do not even notice that I'm wearing mascara unless I look in the mirror then...WOW!

Tony Chachere’s original creole seasoning

I sprinkle a generous amount of Tony Chachere’s original creole seasoning on a huge piece of salmon and bake it at 425 degrees for 15-20 minutes. It can’t get any easier than this. It comes out delicious every time...and dinner guests think I’m an amazing cook!

On Cloud, Cloudsurfer running shoes.

My feet and knees were really hurting me at work. It was painful to walk, let alone sprint to bed alarms or codes. It was grueling to work consecutive shifts (my resiliency tactic). I was starting to feel OLD. I went to buy new shoes for work. I noticed this cool pair of running shoes that actually had arch support. I put them on and...they...felt...AMAZING! I immediately went to the cash register and bought them. I had no idea what brand they were or how much they cost, nor did I care, because I felt such relief when I put them on. These shoes alleviated 98% of my foot and knee pain and gave me a "spring in my step." When I wear these shoes, I feel ten years younger. I can sprint to alarms as fast as the new grads! On Cloud, Cloudsurfer running shoes are a game-changer, as my work colleagues can no doubt attest!

It Cosmetics: Bye, Bye Under-eye Concealer.

I finally found an under-eye concealer that doesn't settle into creases and accentuate them. The concealer stays in place, stays smooth all day, and doesn't take off my mascara. It hides my dark circles and makes me look way more awake than I feel!

Joybed, LX mattress.

As an oncology nurse, it is very important to me to have a mattress that is 100% natural, without polyurethane foams or chemical flame retardants. My Joybed mattress has four components: organic cotton, wool, plant fibers, and steel, which are sourced in the USA and are made in Michigan. Wool is a natural flame retardant, so no chemicals are sprayed into the fabric. Wool is also a natural moisture and temperature regulator that keeps you warm in the winter and cool in the summer. And did I mention that I sleep like a baby....the kind of baby that sleeps?

United Airlines MileagePlus Credit Card

I got a United Airlines credit card several years ago when they were offering 60,000 miles with signup. As soon as the miles were deposited into my account, I immediately went on a trip to Europe for free! I use my United Airlines credit card for EVERY purchase and BILL possible. With the mileage I have accrued over the years from credit card purchases, I have flown to Europe several times for free to visit family. The $95 annual fee (waived the first year) pays for itself with free checked bags.
