Narrowing it down to only 3 favorites is hard...

for the past few years, living alone was both extremely fun yet difficult. I had to learn how to do things on my own and had to experience certain emotions and events by myself. When i had a problem, I couldn't just go into my parents' room and ask them to help me. I had to use my own hands and my brain to figure out things that i've never encountered before.

I realized that life is so much more than how you sleep, how you eat, how you keep yourself active, and how you act. Although those things are a part of life, it does not replace the feelings of learning how to relax and take time for yourself or how to stay motivated to workout when you've lost that motivation. 

1.   Hatch Restore

Starting off the list is the The Hatch Restore. It is one of the best white noise-makers in the industry. Not only does it make calming sounds throughout the entire night, everything is completely adjustable to your own liking, including the brightness, colors, and fading. You can even set alarms and timers.

After just weeks of having the hatch restore, my sleep and energy had improved tremendously, i became more motivated as a result of that, and i felt much healthier and happier. Sleep is so important to our bodies - almost as important as the foods we put into our bodies. It is completely customizable and gently wakes you up, so you don't feel alarmed or woken up out of the blue. I haven't felt groggy waking up since using the hatch restore.

2.   Dorai Home Bath Stone

When I feel dirty after a long day, it is so nice to step in the shower. But stepping out on a wet bath mat is not very pleasant after the refreshing shower. The Dorai Home Bath Stone absorb the water in seconds and leaves its surface dry and ready for the next person to use in minutes, rather than hours with a traditional bath mat.

3.   Powerbeats Pro Earbuds

I used to have the Apple Air Pods for a long time, but after wearing them for a while, they would start to hurt my ears and even fall out. My biggest problem was when they would fall out in the middle of my workout. The Powerbeats Pro Earbuds wrap around your ear for a more secure fit, and they feel so comfortable that I sometimes forget I'm wearing them! Not to mention that they are sweat-resistant, have a built-in microphone, and their sound is amazing!
