Hello, dream mattress! Our new eco-friendly mattress, the Organica from @amerisleep is here & I don’t think I’ve been this excited about a home upgrade in a loooong time! Since we’ve been sleeping on the Organica for the last month, we’ve NEVER slept more soundly. It’s such a game-changer! Shipping was also so fast & easy, Organica is made with all natural latex & eco-friendly materials so we can feel good about what we’re sleeping on every night & it sleeps cool & comfortable, just the way we like it. If you can’t reach me don’t worry, I’m just napping 😴 #amerisleep #amerisleeppartner #mattressinabox #madeintheusa #fiberglassfree #sleeporganic #bestmattress #sustainableproducts

AD: Looking to level up your Turkey Day recipe routine? Consider this your sign from us and the T-Giving pros @safeway that you definitely need a smoked turkey in your life! Chris has been perfecting his smoked turkey recipe for the last few years & it’s become a tradition for him to head to our neighborhood Safeway at the beginning of November, grab one of their beautiful birds and do a trial run before the big day, much to our benefit (double the Thanksgiving spreads? Yes, please!). And when I tell you that a smoked turkey is a mouthwatering game-changer, I’m not even close to exaggerating. It’s truly a revelation! And there’s nowhere else we’d go to get our Thanksgiving turkey, or all our meats for that matter, than our neighborhood Safeway. From that hometown quality, to their extensive organic and natural offerings, to the fact that their meats are hand-cut and trimmed daily by their expert in-store butchers, it all adds up to freshness and elevated quality that our family and friends can taste. Think I can convince Chris that he needs to do another trial run this year, just for taste-testing purposes?! 😂 #Safeway https://lnk2.io/wmVblMK
