Seconding the weighted blanket recommendation. My mom bought me one a few weeks ago and I have never slept better. Pure comfort.

There's so many benefits for a weight blanket. My son has one he uses in his school. Between an exercise ball chair that helps him keep engage on classwork and the weight blanket that helps his anxiety and sensory issues I have seen how his level of stress when he's heading to school has reduced tremendously. FYI not as beautiful as yours, but his medical insurance actually coverd the weight blanket.

I’ve been thinking about buying a weighted blanked and will go for it as soon as I can ♡ Thank you Rhian for always making me feel good. Have a great day!
I keep hearing about the pimple patches. You’ve convinced me! You’re totally right that messing with them makes it worse so I like the idea of covering it with a little dot and moving on with life! So many good tidbits in this video! Thank you for sharing! 😊😊😊

I'm still figuring out how to sleep best with my weighted blanket but it does help with getting sleepy and calming hyperactivity. I also went higher weight than reccommended but got used to it after one night and it feels great!
That cookbook is on my wishlist! I’ve really been into Rainbow Plant Life here on KZread. I haven’t bought her book, because it’s all about instant pot cooking and I don’t have one. I love the recipes I’ve tried from her videos.
Sweet Potato Soul’s KZread channel is also great viewing and food inspiration 👍
I need to check out that weighted blanket. I like how it has the holes in it. I’ve only tried one and I did not enjoy it at all. Really enjoyed this video. Love your aura, your voice is so soothing to me

I have a blanket that is pretty weighted and I cannot live without it. It's winnie the pooh 🤣 it was a blanket I used for my daughter's on the floor when they were babies and it just ended up with me over the years ... My husband laughs because I'm like "where's my blankey" I cannot sleep without it... It's soooo comforting and makes me feel "whole".
I've been using nuud (it's an anti-odorant not a deodorant) for a couple years now and I love it. I only have to put it on once every couple of days which is great because I would otherwise forget. You can shower, shave, and it doesn't transfer onto your clothes. Completely vegan and sustainable company.
Oooh I’m gonna make that red beans and rice recipe! 😋 I loved her Mac and cheese and pound cake!

I am also loving my weighted blanked. it is 7.5 kg, also heavier than recommended for my size. And like you omg my sleep and my energy is better. Thank you so much for helping me take the step to finally buy it. I now go to my blanket every time I feel overwhelmed and helps. I got one for 47 E. and I just put it with my warm comforter, is perfect cos I am always cold. (I also have a set of fancy Wusthof knifes never going back)

What a great Favorites video! I have been wondering about the weighted blankets for a while now. I'm worried about them being too heavy. I'm very claustrophobic! Especially with clothing. Love the pretty glassware!! I have a smaller version of the knife and I love it. They sharpen back up very easily, too. Going to have to try the pimple patches for my hormonal outbreaks. I'm a picker, too, and often make things worse, so that the healing takes way longer than it should. Thanks for showing us all these great products!!

I loved this video! I'm a huge fan of those Hero patches as well. I haven't tried the ones in the green package yet, but I will now. I've also been using that deodorant based on one of your 2020 faves videos and I love it! I have some questions about your Apple watch, if you have time to answer. I've been thinking about getting one for a little while now. I'm a little nervous because I've had two different Fitbits and got shocks and pain in my wrist/hand when I wore them. I've heard others say that happened to them but not with Apple, so I'm hopeful. I'm assuming you have the 6 because of features. Is it the aluminum or stainless steel one? Do you have a screen protector? Have you found it durable/no scratches? I love the "closing your circles" concept! And your band is awesome. It looks like it isn't available as an option without paying extra, which is unfortunate, but I love the stretchiness and no buckle.
I love the iWatch! I have heart failure and it has been super helpful to keep track of all that. Including my heart rate while I am exercising...while working out is helpful for me I have to keep my rate under a certain amount due to my ICD and recommendations by my doctor. Love it!

Your favorites always end up being my favorites lol! I'm GOING to get one of those woven weighted blankets. I have a glass bead one, but washing is a concern. Also this is my second glass bead one, as my rabbit decided to taste the first one. A year later, I still step on glass beads. People are loving the one intended for hot sleepers, I see! About the pimple patches: apparently, you can get full rolls of this stuff, and you can cut it to size! I forgot I had some Mighty Patches until you mentioned them, and I had just sprouted some maskne on the side of my nose (he has since been eradicated). Again, thank you for this reminder! I love love love these videos from you. Blessings to you, Rhian. P.S. Buying Sweet Potato Soul for my parents. They surprised me by buying Unreal's dark chocolate coconut bars _for themselves_, so now is the time I think!

I so agree about cardiac health being a really good motivator. I listened to an interesting podcast from the world service with a segment on some research which showed that people who suffer from panic attacks often have hypermobility too. They were clear it's not necessarily a causal link but there is a definite correlation. They said it's to do with the kind of tissue structure of joints and the heart. I was interested because I have both and I remember you saying you're v flexible. Paying attention to heart health can only be a good thing for resetting your relationship with your heartbeat right? Keep going! So worth it.

You should ask your dentist if you can keep the lead apron on! I ask mine every time I go-- even when I'm not getting an xray! It helps me a lot with my dentist phobia.

Such a great video! Thank you for all of these recommendations Rhian! It’s always helpful! 🥰 I don’t know if it’s the same for you but there are weeks I can literally don’t put deodorant and I won’t even smell and other weeks I have to put so much of it because I stink like CRAZY (my father is always shock as how much I can smell 👃🏻) Have you watched the WINX on Netflix? I was a big fan as a kid of the animation series and now that I’ve watched the first season on Netflix I have so many mixed feelings, I don’t really know if I have really enjoyed it! 🤔 Sending you much love! ❤️

How does your weighted blanket fare for keeping clean? Is it something you can wash at home, or do you have to take your’s to get cleaned? I have been doing some research on them, and a lot of the blankets I have seen do not give washing instructions. I have two cats, and they sometimes will leave me little presents of puke on my bed, lol! I wouldn’t be leaving the weighted blanket on the top of the bed, but I like to wash all my bedding weekly. Also, I am loving the Kosas deodorant as well. I have found it’s the only one so far that keeps my onion armpits at bay as well 😂
