Hello 2019!

When your favorite holiday gifts are a 6’ phone charger and a squatty potty

How can something so small make such a big difference? I feel like I’ve gone rogue on my unemployed bohemian lifestyle with a 6’ phone charge cord, otherwise known as The 6’ Phone Charger Cord That Enabled My Meghan Markle News Feed Obsession And Changed My Life Forever.

The mornings of balancing on my side on the edge of the bed, one arm extended - a cantilever if you will - phone in hand, cord straining in the socket, are over. (It was an art.) Instead, I’m now a bonafide Lady Mary Crawley, settled against her pillows, resting comfortably in bed, a pot of tea nearby, getting all the important stuff in life done – word games, social media, newsfeed - before breakfast.

As for the Squatty Potty - a gift for the whole family - I’m not going to go into it because the company does a great job explaining why the western world poops wrong. Let’s just say this mundane bodily function we all do every day, but don’t talk about, just got an upgrade.

I’m living in the lap of luxury for less than $30, with free shipping.

It’s a brave new year.
