    I just purchased the Rest 4 July sale and I just use her sale code. It worked and I save more money. I can't wait to get my Rest bundle. I need sleep and I believe this will give me what I need. Thank you.

    That ring is kind of similar to what I went with for my wedding band. It's also not too far off from my engagement ring. I wanted simple and due to my job, I can't have anything that sticks up because of the damage it could cause and because it could easily break. I'm also not a huge fan of bling, so although I wanted diamonds, I didn't want my rings to be dripping in them. In the end, I went with two infinity style anniversary bands that actually look almost like they belong together. They're simple, classy, have a small amount of bling but not too much, don't stick up and are absolutely perfect for me.

Some do colder and their houses feel like a refrigerator when you walk in, and I have to wear pants, closed-toe shoes, and bring a zippy hoodie haha.

    This may be a stupid question, but will this be cooler than no blanket at all?

  • @donnagailblog
    @donnagailblogАй бұрын

    I guess that will honestly depend on how you use your AC! Because if you were to keep your house at 65 degrees over night, then yea probably no blanket would be cooler because the AC is blasting. But for us since we keep our house at a relatively neutral setting (or even keep it off at most times), our house’s internal temp is usually at around 72-75 degrees. So because of that, this cooling comforter would be cooler for us to use than not using a blanket at all. It’s all situational to the internal temp of your house! Hope that makes sense 😁

  • @donnagailblog
    @donnagailblogАй бұрын

    Sorry about that - for some reason the brand is having some issues recently with my code and it’s not ringing up as 20% but instead is a $20 flat rate on the whole order. I’ve tried and tried and tried to work with them to fix it but their solution is that there’s no solution. “We haven’t figure out why it’s happening”. I have changed it to say $20 in anything written but unfortunately I can’t change anything I said in the video to reflect the change since this code change happened two weeks ago. But the code was 20% up until that point. My solution is if you plan to purchase multiple things then make multiple orders as the $20 off is for the entire order. So with them offering free shipping, you can just use the code on separate unit purchases so you can get $20 off of every item as opposed to just an order total. I’m just as angry about it as you as the brand has not given me any actual solution or reason why they changed it on me. But still I’m sorry about the code not reading 20% - I always want you to get the best deal and this is really bumming me out too

    The other thing I’ve noticed on other corners of the internet, is that sometimes when you make a video about a product, that product might reach out and ask to use it as an ad, so then you’ve shot yourself in the foot with saying it’s not sponsored and then it shows “ad” right on the bottom and you lose trust with your audience. Hashtags? Sure go for it. But in video this is a great piece of advice!
