Mental Sampler 39
I usually do not use the toiletries provided by hotels. I like my shampoo and my moisturizer — why would I want to use an unfamiliar product with an unfamiliar scent? The one exception is soap. I’m a soap generalist, at least when it comes to hand soap.
But this fall, we were at a hotel we stay at several times per year, and I noticed that the sample toiletries were made with goat milk. I sniffed, I tried, I fell in love. Like hardcore begged Josh to take a vacation so we could return to the hotel, and I could get more goat milk hand cream.
We found it online, sold in a 1 gallon bottle. The version in stores has different ingredients, but this is the one we had in the hotel. I’m considering getting the gallon. It’s less expensive than continuously going back to the hotel.

Do you sleep with earplugs? I am considering getting Loop Quiet earplugs, which are supposed to block out sound and be okay for side sleeping, with the idea that I could also use them during the day if I had to work out of the house.
But I don’t know anyone who has Loop earplugs. Do they work? Do you like them? And how do you hear your alarm if you sleep with them in?

I love ear plugs. I think they saved my marriage and allowed us to sleep in the same room. Then they helped a lot in the car with three small kids. And indoor play places! And leaf blowers in my neighborhood! Wow, I might be noise sensitive. Anyhoo, I used to use the foam ones, then switched to washable silicone ones. I have the high fidelity brand from amazon. I keep one pair in my nightstand and one in my bag. I have heard good things about loop. You can get different levels of noise reduction. I can still hear an alarm or emergency vehicles, it just reduces the volume. If you use your phone as an alarm, you could set it to vibrate on the bed? I have never overslept wearing ear plugs. Might just be me though. I think it might be trial and error until you figure out what works for you
