While it was once convenient to say that other people caused my problems, the problems didn't stop until I realized they started with me. Tough pill to swallow, but it waas true. Other people tell me the same every day: when they stopped blaming people and looked at...
Find Your Perfect Pillow!
Sleep Number reached out to me a few months ago and asked if I would review pillows. They generously sent two for my review. It would seem that given my feng shui ways that I would have a sense of the type of pillow I needed, but I didn't. I said I slept on my back...
