Karn Kalptinan, a candidate from the ruling Pheu Thai Party, secured a decisive victory in the Ubon Ratchathani Provincial Administrative Organisation (PAO) chairman election on Sunday. Unofficial election results indicate Mr Karn, also a former PAO chief, received 387,456 votes, significantly outrunning his competitors. Independent candidate Jittawan Wangsuphakijkosol came second with 322,986 votes, followed by Sitthiphon Laohawanich of the main opposition People's Party (PP) with 138,837 votes. Athipatai Kuisrimongkol trailed behind with 3,620 votes. Mr Karn's supporters gathered late on Sunday at the Kriang Kalptinan Law Office in Ubon Ratchathani's Muang district to celebrate the win. Kriang Kalptinan, Mr Karn's elder brother, congratulated him with a garland of lowers and thanked the campaign staff and voters. He emphasised the importance of completing unfinished projects to develop the province and praised former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra's influence in rallying support for him. Mr Kriang credited his brother's victory to the grassroots efforts and his dedication to community development over the past four years. He said Mr Karn once in office will push policies aligned with Pheu Thai's national agenda, including the 10,000-baht cash handout scheme and promote welfare for the elderly. "I feel proud that the people of Ubon Ratchathani have consistently valued our work," he said. "I firmly believe in the continued support of the public to allow us to carry on with our work," he added. Mr Sitthiphon and PP key party figures, including party executive Phicharn Chaowapatanawong, yesterday released a statement conceding defeat in the election. However, the party said the poll outcome shows its support base in Ubon Ratchathani has grown since last year's general election. Mr Sitthiphon urged the PAO leader-elect to consider adopting some of the PP's proposed campaign policies. The party reiterated its commitment to grassroots politics, highlighting its plans to field candidates in 17 provinces in the PAO elections early next year.Honda is known for providing bikes with the right balance of affordability, reliability, and fuel efficiency, making them popular among Indian consumers.

Our weighted average unit price was $5.16 per unit for the first half of 2024, which represented an increase of 4.2% as compared to $4.95 per unit for the same period of 2023. Our health and nutritional supplements revenue for the first half of 2024 increased by about $11.1 million , or 182.1%, as compared to the same period of 2023. The increase in health and nutritional supplements revenue was mainly due to the increase in sales of premium brand health and nutritional supplements. We have stepped up our promotions on these items during the Chinese New Year holidays in the first half of 2024 in an attempt to offer more promotional discounts in response to the overall market downturn. First Half Ended June 30 % 2024 2023 change Revenues (in thousands, except for percentages) US$ US$ YoY* Product sales • Cosmetic products 19,768.5 29,495.5 (33.0 %) • Health and nutritional supplements 17,190.7 6,094.2 182.1 % • Household products 48,438.7 48,473.1 (0.1 %) • Others 286.4 343.4 (16.6 %) Total 85,684.3 84,406.2 1.5 % * YOY—year over year Total cost and operating expenses were $89.6 million in the first half of 2024, a decrease of 1.5% from $91.0 million in the same period of 2023. Operating Loss Operating loss was $4.0 million for the first half of 2024, compared with the operating loss of $6.6 million in the same period of 2023. The decrease in operating loss for the first half of 2024 was mainly due the decrease of marketing expenses, as well as reduction of operating expenses as discussed above. Net Loss Net loss was $3.8 million , a decrease of 47.1% compared with net loss of $7.1 million in the same period of 2023, which was mainly due the factors mentioned above. Loss per Share The Company computes earnings (loss) per share ("EPS") in accordance with ASC 260, "Earnings per Share" ("ASC 260"). Each of the Company's Preferred Share has voting rights equal to two Ordinary Shares of the Company and each Preferred Share is convertible into one Ordinary Share at any time. Except for voting rights and conversion rights, the Ordinary Shares and the Preferred Shares rank pari passu with one another and have the same rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions. For the first half ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, the Company had no potential ordinary shares outstanding that could potentially dilute EPS in the future. Cash and Cash Equivalents For the first half of 2024, the Company reported a net loss of $3.8 million , a negative operating cash flow of $41,012 and an accumulated deficit of approximately $29.8 million . The Company's principal sources of liquidity are sales revenues, proceeds from a private placement and a registered direct offering. As of June 30, 2024 , the Company had cash and restricted cash of approximately $0.8 million , held by the variable interest entity (VIE) Shanghai Juhao Information Technology Co., Ltd. ("Shanghai Juhao") with banks and financial institutions inside China as the Company conducts its operations primarily through the consolidated VIE in China ; the Company's working capital as of June 30, 2024 was $13.4 million . Due to the uncertainty of the current market environment, management believes it is necessary to enhance the collection of its outstanding accounts receivable and other receivables, and to be cautious in terms of its operational decisions and project selections. As of October 31, 2024 , approximately $1.8 million , or 62%, of its accounts receivable balance as of June 30, 2024 were collected, and approximately $9.9 million , or 93%, of its advances to supplier balance as of June 30, 2024 were utilized. In addition, the Company's Form F-3 registration was declared effective on August 31, 2022 , and the Company may also seek equity financing from outside investors if necessary. Based on the latest business plan of the Company, Shanghai Juhao has reduced its promotion efforts and marketing expenditures since the second half of 2023, which reduced the cash used in operating activities. Management believes that the above-mentioned factors, including cash on hand of approximately $0.8 million , will provide sufficient liquidity for the Company to meet its future liquidity and capital requirements for at least the next twelve months.

The Leon Levine Foundation is providing a $3.75 million grant, while the latest in a series of funding from the state Department of Health and Human Services comes in the form of a two-year, $1.8 million contract. Brett Loftis, Crossnore’s chief executive, said there are about 12,000 children in foster care in North Carolina. Crossnore has locations in Winston-Salem, Avery County, Hendersonville and, eventually, the metropolitan area around Charlotte. Crossnore’s Winston-Salem campus serves about 100 foster children. About 60 of them live on the Reynolda Road campus. Children typically are placed into temporary foster care because their homes are unsafe or because their families provide inadequate care. People are also reading... They can come from families who face alcohol or drug addiction, homelessness or possibly a grave illness. While in foster care, children receive professional mental health services, medical services, case management and educational assistance. Crossnore launched the Bridging Families model in 2021 with 10 affiliated homes as of March. The purpose of Bridging Families is to “address North Carolina’s current child welfare crisis by providing innovative, purpose-driven care for children and their families.” With the DHHS contract, the state has adopted Bridging Families as the state’s model for professional foster parenting. “This innovative model of care, utilizing professional foster parents, could change the face of foster care in our state,” Loftis said. “It moves beyond a volunteer-based foster parent system and completely reimagines how families whose children have been removed experience the foster care system. “Bridging Families alleviates many structural barriers of the current child welfare system, focusing on shared parenting, collaboration, quality time as a family, resource networking, and accelerated reunification,” Loftis said. “It also addresses a critical need for sibling groups, who are at risk of being separated if placed in traditional foster homes.” In Bridging Families, foster parents are salaried organization employees whose sole responsibilities are parenting the children in their care. “Bridging Families’ support for birth parents is increasing the chance that children in foster care can return home,” Katheryn Northington, a Crossnore board trustee, said in a March opinion article in the Winston-Salem Journal. Northington said the program shortens the length of time children stay in foster care, reducing the number of placements and the number of foster parents needed by the system.” “Instead of having to work outside the home, foster parenting is their work,” Northington said. “It also calls on foster parents to assist birth parents working to meet the conditions for reunification.” “Bridging Families supports the ultimate goal of foster care — to help families be stronger and healthier and live together again,” said Susan Osborne, NCDHHS Deputy Secretary for Opportunity and Well-Being. “This program, specializing in reunification of sibling groups, partners with families providing the supports they need so children can be reunified safely with their family as soon as possible.” To find out more about Bridging Families, go to crossnore.org/bridging-families . The grant and the DHHS contract are the latest in a series of financial contributions to Crossnore. In May, Crossnore received the largest gift — a $5 million anonymous pledge — in its more than 110-year history. The anonymous gift also enables Crossnore to secure an additional $3 million in matching funds for its charter school. The gift will be directed toward its $41 million The Promise of Home comprehensive campaign, specifically toward a charter school in Winston-Salem. The campaign is Crossnore’s first as a multi-campus organization. It is designed to provide support for its existing locations, as well as future efforts in the Metrolina region. The target date is August 2025 for opening the Crossnore charter school in the Edwards Building for kindergarten through fourth grade. Middle school building renovations will likely begin the following year, with plans to achieve full capacity for K-8th grade by August 2028. It expects to eventually reach an enrollment of 180 students. Loftis said more foster children than ever are dealing with trauma that might include abuse and neglect. The new charter school will specialize in helping children dealing with such trauma, with a staff trained in providing a healing environment, he said. The three main campaign components are: * $19.5 million for sustaining and strengthening Crossnore’s everyday systems and operations through investments in donor engagement, scholarships, technology, safety, transportation and diversity. * $12.75 million for renovation, new construction and re-purposing of buildings and other physical properties of Crossnore in Winston-Salem, Avery County and Hendersonville; * $8.75 million toward expansion and bolstering of Crossnore’s programs and services. Rep. Jeff Zenger, R-Forsyth, filed House Bill 950 on May 1, which would commit up to a $5 million grant for Crossnore to help address the foster care crisis in the state. However, the bill was not heard in committee. In May, Crossnore received a $4 million grant from the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration for its Center for Trauma Resilient Communities initiative. The funds come from the ReCast: Resiliency in Communities after Stress and Trauma grant program. Crossnore said the grant will support a four-year project titled We Heal Together, which utilizes a community-driven “resilience framework” to mitigate the impact of trauma and violence that continues to afflict the East Winston community. The nonprofit said the grant could assist up to 1,200 residents with services. In March, DHHS awarded a contract to Crossnore to expand its Homebuilders services in a 15-county region that includes all of the Triad. The Homebuilders initiative involves an evidence-based intensive family preservation service, working with children who are at highest risk of entering or reentering the foster care system. The program debuted in October 2021 in Davidson, Forsyth, Guilford and Surry counties. The other participating counties are Alamance, Caswell, Chatham, Davie, Durham, Orange, Person, Randolph, Rockingham, Stokes and Yadkin. The goal is to remove the risk of harm to the child, instead of removing the child. Program staff work within a family’s home roughly 10 hours each week, three to five days per week, to reduce or remove risk factors and improve child safety to ensure children can stay safely at home with their family of origin. rcraver@wsjournal.com 336-727-7376 @rcraverWSJ Get local news delivered to your inbox! {{description}} Email notifications are only sent once a day, and only if there are new matching items.

Plus, reviewers compare it to the one from Barefoot Dreams! Promising review : "I saw this blanket on TikTok and I have to say I absolutely love it. I washed it several times now and it’s maintained its elasticity and softness after each wash. It’s warm enough but not too hot for a throw. Absolutely recommend this blanket!" — Amy Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in 13 styles and three sizes). 2. Or a giant 10x10 blanket if the group chat is down for a do-nothing day. Get some snacks, pile under this together, and flip on your fave show or new crime documentary. I spy my new go-to blanket for the scary movie marathon. 👀 Big Blanket Co is a small business that, obviously, creates HUUUUGE blankets. The blankets are made with four-way stretch, temperature regulating fabric, and can fit in standard-sized washing machines. Promising review: "I took the leap and bought my first blanket! I am in love with it! It is so soft. I love the weight it has. It keeps me at a good temperature. I have a feeling that I will be getting more. 😉" — Lelia R.

This bath pillow is made a double-thick foam, large suction cups, and a two-panel bendable design, so it will conform and fit in any tub. Promising review: "I love it! I've been annoyed for a long while now with laying my back against a cold, hard surface while trying to relax in the tub. I've owned those blow-up type pillows before, but they were a pain, always losing their air and their buoyancy caused them to continually lose suction. This pillow is thick, comfortable, and stays stuck very well. I've taken about six baths with it so far with no problems." — Dana Get it from Amazon for $17.99 . 4. And a waterproof bamboo bathtub tray because in this scenario, multitasking is a luxury. Use it to hold your tablet or favorite book, your third glass of wine, and a bowl of cherries that you can make your S.O. feed you with cucumbers on your eyes. Ahh, yes...this is the life. The two-sided tray has extendable handles and accessory slots to fit books, magazines, or even an electronic device. It's waterproof and has nonslip silicone grips. The sides extend up to 43 inches to accommodate most bathtubs. Promising review: "I love this caddy tray. It took a while for me to review. I needed to test it out a few times. Royal Craft Wood really had taken the time to construct this product for consumers. I did not know that the soap dish and small tray were removable/interchangeable. It's very convenient for additional space or storing elsewhere in the tub. The product comes with strips to place where you desire to prevent the wood from scratching your porcelain tub. Did I say I love it?!" — Lotlander Get it from Amazon for $39.48+ (available in 11 colors and styles). 5. *AND* a wineglass holder — now you can wine and dine (or wine and bathe ) yourself. No more having to save a spot for your drink on the edge of your tub. Now you can relax with zero worries about spilling your vino. It also fits beer cans! Promising review: "It works perfectly and it's nice to have a safe place to set my glass of wine while relaxing in the tub.

These bed sheets are just perfection. 🥰 Honestly I've been looking for good quality bed sheets, and I stumbled upon these specific ones, and I am beyond impressed! It's been hard to find a good brand and good material. I've bought so many different types for example silky sheets: I would wake up with my back sweaty sometimes 😞, and it wasn't pleasant, but as soon as I changed to these new bed sheets after a soft wash, I woke up feeling fresh and no sweats! I was so surprised. 🤣 I have zero regrets about buying these sheets and would definitely 100% recommend them and will buy more colors. I still like to use silky pillowcases though since it helps a lot with hair care, but that's just preference." — stephssbeauty Get it from Amazon for $23.25+ (available in six sizes and 10 colors). 7. A mini projector that comes with a 200-inch large projection screen and built-in stereo speakers that will bring an immersive viewing experience to your at-home movie theatre. So grab your pizza, grab your blankies, and snuggle up for another Harry Potter watch party. Promising review: "I've been wanting a projector for a while now after seeing it on TikTok, and this one hits the mark. The quality is crisp and clear to the point you don’t really need a projector screen. The sound can go pretty loud. Most importantly, it can connect to my iPhone and MacBook. I got it as a gift, and I’m very happy with it. It doesn’t come with the Apple adapter, but you can find it for cheap separately anyway. No complaints so far." — Dalia Get it from Amazon for $89.99 . 8. And a silicone popcorn maker for all the movie night fanatics! This is a *far* cry from the regular ol' popcorn packets you can get in stores. Plus, you can add all the butter, spices, and seasonings you like for the ultimate delicious snack. Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Abby Kass says about it: "I've been using a similar one for years, and I still swear by it. It's so much cheaper than buying microwave popcorn all the time, not to mention better for you. It's super easy to use and makes delicious popcorn in minutes. Plus, it's collapsible, so it won't take up a lot of room in your cabinet. You *can* use it as its own bowl, but it's usually pretty hot after coming out of the microwave, so I usually just transfer to another bowl so I don't have to wait for it to cool." Promising review: "Absolutely amazing! I am throwing out my old popcorn maker because there is no need for it anymore. I cannot believe how easy it was to make perfect popcorn and use the same bowl to eat it out of. I've already told all of my friends to buy this!" — Cindy Suy Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in 13 colors). 9. *AND* you can't forget the popcorn salt to bring the glorious, buttery flavor of movie theater popcorn right to your own home. Don't feel guilty when you realize you've finished half the bowl before the movie even starts — it tastes delicious and hey, you're only human. Promising review: "I am a person who will make myself sick eating buckets of popcorn (I have no self control). This has by far been my favorite 'TikTok made me buy' item. My at-home popcorn is now my favorite thing to make, and I don't need to go the theater for popcorn. Very much worth the purchase and this will last me such a long time." — S Martinez Get it from Amazon for $9.50 . 10. A "Cup Cozy Pillow" that'll take your day off to its *maximum* laziness level.

Plus, it has a huge front pocket! Promising review: "This is exactly the cozy, heavy blanket hoodie I've ben wanting! It's like wrapping up in the blanket from my bed, without hauling around a king-sized mass of fabric. There's even a hidden pocket inside the kangaroo pouch to keep your little things from falling out. For anyone concerned about the "one size" thing, I'm 5'4", 280 lbs. I wear a 3x in women's. This thing is big enough to tuck my knees up in there and still have a bit of room. It's super-soft, too! I want at least 3 more." — MandraDawn1 Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in 49 colors, including reversible styles!). 12.

Prime members: You can try before you buy ! Promising review: " These slippers are comfort to my feet. The way they are made, I enjoy a feeling of stability, and with the memory foam they mold to my feet. Also, because they have an 'indoor/outdoor' sole, I can put them on and run out to my backyard early in the a.m. with my dog and my feet don't get wet. Lastly, I like that they are washable. I previously had a wool Acorn pair of slippers that lasted for years. Thanks for a great slipper." — Bella's Mom Get them from Amazon for $36.19+ (available in women's sizes 5–12 and 24 styles). 14. A self-therapy notepad — a humorous and mindful way of organizing your thoughts when feeling stressed or anxious, or just a routine way of checking in with yourself! Promising review: "I really enjoyed this product! It was a lighthearted, yet practical take to emotional trauma. I love that it is specifically for on the spot triggers and crisis. Because life doesn't give a 'trigger warning,' this is a great way to break down how you feel and where the trigger is coming from. The selections were on-point with a hip touch, but also realistic and approachable. I do wish there was a space to make the date, but that is just me." — B.W. Get it from Amazon for $10.50 . 15.

Almost every night, before I finish off my routine with moisturizer, I choose which mask I want to use (you get *so* many options!), lay back for 20 minutes, and unwind. I'm unashamed to say I have, indeed, fallen asleep a number of times with the mask still on😬. They also leave your skin feeling sooo soft and hydrated! Promising review: "I am always impressed by Dermal's Korean masks. Putting on one of these masks is a little luxury for me. It has a pleasant but very subtle scent so it's not overpowering at all. I use these for a quick moisture fix or to help me relax after a stressful day. I also use them when I have migraines and lay down on my bed in the dark for 20 minutes. These masks provide cooling, soothing relief! The fruity ones smell best, and I think rose is also a favorite of mine. I will be a long-time customer of this product. As a college student/young adult, this is a great value product that helps me take care of my skin on a budget." — Melinda Get a 24-pack from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in three quantities). 16.

A backrest pillow filled with memory foam that will support you while you dive into the next book on your list or browse Netflix's Top 10 (because actually choosing something to watch takes *forever*). Promising review: "I bought this based on other reviews. There are cheaper products you can buy, but this one is quality. You get what you pay for. I was skeptical because it comes in a small box, and when you unwrap it the foam is compressed, and it looks like garbage. However, after you take the time to fluff it up and let the foam expand, it is amazing. Don't be fooled! I am actually using it as I write this review. A+ product ." — Meghan R. Get it from Amazon for $30.99+ (available in two sizes and in gray and navy). 23.

Artist Abbie has been creating the 'book tracker bookmark' and other book-inspired art and more from Bath, England, since 2018. The bookmark has 50 book spines on it. Promising review: "I absolutely love my bookmark! So, so cute!

Highly recommend!!" — Jessica Armes Get it from Amazon for $34.96+ (available in four colors). 25. A sleeping mask that'll help improve your sleep quality because it puts zero pressure on your eyes and blocks out light while still allowing you to freely blink. Cons: It might make it a little harder for you not to hit that snooze button...oh well. Plus, it comes with a set of earplugs, to block out all the noise around you! Promising review: "I'm a light sleeper and use an eye mask and ear plugs every night. They help me sleep better because I don't have dark curtains at home and my street is quite noisy. The last eye mask I bought was a cheap one I found at a dollar store. I'd have to keep buying new ones from time to time because they would tear apart pretty often. This mask is a game charger. It's high quality and does the job much better! Firstly, I didn't really feel like I was wearing a mask because of the design. It's super comfortable and blocks all light. The ear plugs blocks sound, so I can finally get restful sleep. Totally worth it!" — Nisheeta Jagtiani Get the set from Amazon for $22.99 (available in seven colors). 26. And a pair of wireless sleep headphones , which you can wear as a headband instead of your AirPods (which can get a little uncomfy in your ear) while you doze off to the sound of music or a podcast. *Yawns*...goodnight. The headphones connect via Bluetooth and have 33 feet of wireless range (meaning your phone doesn't have to be right next to you). The controls are on the forehead, which makes it comfortable for back and side sleepers, and they are made to block out ambient noise. Promising review : "I usually never write reviews, but, hot damn, these are a game changer! I sleep on my side and the speakers are comfortable to lay on. My only criticism is that the control panel should be padded somehow because it can get uncomfortable on for forehead/hairline area, but not so much that you can't fall asleep/renders them unusable." — Mo Vego Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in 20 styles). 27. A pair of horizontal glasses because if I want to re-watch The Vampire Diaries while sprawled out on my bed like a flatbread, then dang it I should be able to do it. And now I can (and so can you)! These glasses are great for everyone, but especially for people who are bedridden. Promising review: "I didn't know what I was missing until I used this. My life is now complete. If you enjoy comfort and lazy binge-watching but don't care how ridiculous you look wearing these, then you have found Nirvana. My glasses fit in these just fine. Takes a minute to get used to, then it becomes your reason to live. Expect people to laugh at you, but forgive them for they know not what they are missing." — Michael Boyd Get them from Amazon for $13.99 . 28. A set of super soft, 100% cotton flannel sheets — they won't help your cause to stop hitting the snooze button, but hey, you'll be sleeping in on a plush, velvety cloud of coziness. This set includes a flat sheet, fitted sheet, and one-two pillowcases depending on bed size. Promising review: "Warm, comfortable, heaven. Bought these for our king-sized bed. We have a firm mattress topped with a 3-inch pillow top, and these sheets fit it perfectly! I love the fit. They wash up nicely and feel wonderful on a cold winter night. I'm going to buy more for the guest room. I'm certain our guests will enjoy them as much as we have. Also, the price was amazing for the quality. " — Kindle Customer Get them from Amazon for $46.99+ (available in 10 sizes and 19 colors). 29.

Promising review: "This lamp really exceeded my expectations. I bought it on a whim and honestly wasn't expecting that much, but I'm really happy with it. Feels like it's made of durable, quality material and emits a strong light, but it's not too bright — I use it in the evenings when I'm trying to wind down before bed and it's bright enough to light up my room without feeling like it's going to mess up my sleep cycle . Highly recommend — really does feel like you're watching a lovely sunset :)" — amazon customer Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in three styles). 31.

I don’t post many reviews, but this is definitely worth the money. I can't say enough good things about this wine opener. It comes with an awesome charging stand and foil cutter. Don’t waste your time on other electric wine openers. This is the one! I love it! The blue light is really cool too!" — Allison Parks Get it from Amazon for $21.99 . 32. A subscription to Atlas Coffee Club — coffee lovers, UNITE. Not only will this eliminate the need to leave the house for your caffeinated libation, but this also takes your tastebuds on a trip around the world by delivering fresh coffee from different countries right to your doorstep every couple of weeks. Who knows? Today, you could be transported to a café in Italy, and tomorrow, you could be in a pâtisserie in Paris. Your box comes with a selection of single-origin coffee from around the world, plus a postcard from the country it's from and tasting notes and brewing tips for each one. Plus, you can customize what type of coffee you like and get it as whole beans or grounds. BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Kayla Suazo says : "My first observation after opening the box was the smell. It smells FAN-FREAKIN'-TASTIC. It also comes with sweet postcards from the cities where the batches are from, so the entire experience feels so lovely and personal. As for the coffee itself, it's heavenly. I am used to store-bought coffee — which yes, is fine — but both of these tasted incredibly fresh and different from each other. The Peruvian coffee has this dark, almost chocolate taste to it, so I imagine it would be delicious with a morning sweet treat (maybe I should start eating pie every day?). The Colombian batch, on the other hand, was a little lighter roast-wise but still had delicious notes of rich sweetness. TL;DR: both of them were incredible both in taste and quality."

Promising review : "I saw this product on one of Amazon’s must-have TikTok videos, and I knew I had to get it. It was so worth it — even though the price may seem higher compared to other sellers, this is for sure a good investment piece.

I haven't had ANY neck problems and I found I can now sleep in a number of positions comfortably. Best of all I wake up feeling rested! " — Sexy Shoes "I’m going to be honest — I was weary of buying another pregnancy pillow. This is my fourth pregnancy, and I have tried a few different ones throughout the years. They typically make me feel claustrophobic and as if I can’t move in my sleep. So I did a lot of research and picked this based on reviews. This pillow is much more comfortable and not as large/cumbersome or stiff as others. Material is soft too. I definitely recommend! " — Anna Get it from Amazon for $49.94+ (available in 10 colors). 38. A captivating color-changing crystal lamp that gives off an underwater-like projection and creates an enchanting ambiance.

Its deep, gentle pressure may help reduce anxiety so that you can be blissfully asleep in no time. Read more about how weighted blankets may help ease anxiety at Mayo Clinic . Promising review: "I never write reviews but thought I should after buying two of these blankets! I haven’t slept through the night for almost 6 years, thanks to a difficult pregnancy and baby.

If you're one of those people who needs to change positions often while reading, this chair is the bomb. I leave a charging cord in the arm for my phone and headphones, slide out the foot, and grab whatever book I chucked under there. I can lay down, recline, sit straight, etc. with ease. The foot stool part, being collapsible and held up with thin bars, did kind of sink a little after awhile but nothing that makes the chair feel broken or look lopsided. It's a solid little guy and I plan on picking another one up eventually for another room I like to read in. " — Calvin Andrews Get it from Amazon for $229.99 (available in six colors). 41. A set of insulated blackout curtains because they help block out the three things that threaten your beauty sleep: heat, light, and noise. This reviewer even said it was the best sleep they'd gotten in a long time! Plus, these are machine washable and come in so many colors that you don't have to sacrifice your home decor style for function! Promising review: "I live in an apartment complex full of little goblins people call children. They like to run up and down the sidewalk for no discernible reason yelling at the top of their lungs while their parents watch on in mild amusement drinking wine on their patio. Lovely family time, I guess. So, naturally, I put these on every window I could. And now my evenings are much quieter, without sacrificing the look of my apartment. They’re easy to pull back during the day when the goblins are away and easy to cover when they emerge in the evenings. So I can just cover my windows and put on a movie and it’s like they’re not even there! These block out a lot of light and sound from the neighborhood and match my decor nicely. I put sheer white curtains over these to create a softer look in the bedroom and it’s gorgeous! Saves my sanity and creates a nice atmosphere ." — today Get it from Amazon for $24.59+ (available in 22 sizes and 43 colors). 42. A set of electric logs that'll bring a luxurious, cozy charm to your space. And not only does it *actually* produce heat, it also has a realistic crackle sound to add to the cozy ambience! Getting a little too hot? Turn the heater off and enjoy the flames and crackling on their own! Promising review: "So realistic! I absolutely love these logs! I searched through every set on Amazon and online, and finally settled on this set. I am so glad I did! The remote control makes it very easy, and the flames and logs look amazingly real. The crackle of the fire can be turned on or off and can also be adjusted...low/high. It sounds so real, I feel the need to put a fireplace screen up. This is an excellent product. No problems whatsoever. Opened the box and plugged it in. It’s very hard to tell they are not real. It’s soothing, relaxing, and comforting. One of the greatest purchases I’ve ever made." — M Hall Get it from Amazon for $149.99+ (available in three sizes). Reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity.
