Bamboo viscose is Cozy Earth’s signature material that makes up the majority of its collections. It’s incredibly soft, temperature regulating, and washes great. They’re a favorite of our editors, too, who gave it a “Best Splurge” title for the softer-with-time material that they found was highly durable. For light sleepers, these won’t even make a rustling sound if you tend to toss and turn in your sleep. “[They] melt against your skin and give that dreamy feel,” shared one shopper who gave the set five stars.

When I first heard of the Scandinavian Sleep Method, I initially thought it was a pretty nifty idea—and I could use any upgrade to my sleep routine—so my partner and I decided to give it a try.

March is Sleep Awareness Month, which means there’s no better time to prioritize your sleep and make sure your body is getting the rest it deserves. Ensuring that you have a relaxing sleep environment is just one way that you can do this, and your bedding is high on the list.
Overwatering is one of the biggest issues that can result in a demise of any plant. To ensure your green friends are safe from it – here are some home items for your rescue!
Sowing a seed directly into the ground, nurturing it, and reaping the rewards is one of the easiest gardening activities you can do—yet many gardeners don’t. There are many reasons to direct sow. Often, you’ll have earlier harvests because the seeds will germinate when it’s the perfect time to grow, and stronger seedlings because transplant shock isn’t an issue. Planting seeds in general (instead of buying transplants) gives you more varietal options, and you can also save a lot of money (1 packet of 30 to 150 seeds often costs less than a 6-pack of plants). And then there is the personal satisfaction factor. Ask any child who has planted a sunflower seed how they feel when that flower towers over their head, and you’ll understand what I mean.
For most of the Southwest, “dry” is a normal state of affairs. We live in a complex mosaic of arid, semi-arid, and seasonally arid zones that make most generalizations impossible. And an especially wet or dry season can throw all calculations off, making our usual watering routines irrelevant. We must be willing to adjust to ensure plant health in our gardens.
Now that we’re firmly planted in March, it feels safe to say it out loud: spring is practically here. Along with bluer skies and brighter days, it also brings the perfect time of year for cleaning and organizing.
