What one item makes your life a bit nicer?

[SheUltra]

I have just read a thread about making life easier. It's always meal planning and household appliances.

Anyway it got me thinking whilst having a shower... I love my Bluetooth shower speaker. Being able to listen to my own music in the shower is great.

I don't need it. I can obviously live without it but I really love that little thing!

I also have dogs. I think it's a given that animals and children bring joy.

You have to recommend something to make life nicer.

What are you choosing?

My power shower, love it, I look forward to using it after holidays! It's quicker than a standard shower and just feels amazing

I would say my Velvetiser but I am not meant to have hot chocolate right now.
So I'll go for my teabag tongs which are simple but fantastic.

My automatic Volvo XC60 SUV. Big,safe, tank. I love it.

My headband earphones. Joy every night listening to audio books.

An Alexa in living room and one in my bedroom.
A chilly flask so that I have hot coffee waiting for me when I wake up.

Chocolate.
Just chocolate.

A lovely feather and down duvet and good quality sheets! There is nothing better than going to sleep and waking up in a lovely little bundle of luxury

I like the coffee idea! Do the chilly’s flasks keep the coffee hot all night then? I never knew that! I’m off to dig mine out ready to try in the morning!

I feel relaxed and happy just reading these 🙂

Love the sound of the velvetiser. Always been slightly too expensive to justify here though 😞

Dishwasher....it's quite a big thing in regards to cost to buy and space, not everyone can fit one in but it's so worth it

My dressing gown. Love it.

My car which is hated by many on here because it's a big 4x4. But after a lifetime of driving tiny cars it is so comfortable, and has lovely things like heated seats and a heated windscreen. I like being up high in it too.

My kindle. I love reading so it's my happy thing.

Which one do you have? I’ve tried so many and only have lukewarm in the morning!

for me it would be my caravan chair. I can get the footrest out, my book and a glass of wine and I’m happy as a sandboy whether it’s in my garden or away at a site

I literally cut out an inbuilt freezer to accommodate mine 😆 we make do with a tiny freezer but totally worth it.

Going off piste here, but I have one of those acupressure (spiky) mats. I have always been prone to a really tight back, but 20 mins on this daily sorts it out and helps me sleep

I also have head band headphones , I love them too

I also have soundcore noise cancelling headphones which are great .

And my robot vac

Proper ground coffee brewed at home every morning. Life is too short for shit coffee.

Dark red nail polish on my toenails , all year round but specifically in winter. Only I see them in winter (+people I hang out with at home barefoot so basically my husband and the cat!). But it’s a nice reminder that I am worth being pretty for.

nice body lotion after a shower or bath.

My very comfortable bed and bed linen, I splurged on 1000 thread count Egyptian cotton but it will last me years. Bonus points if it was dried on the line and has that amazing fresh air smell.

Fresh bed, freshly showered and nice body lotion - the little things make a huge difference.

Love these threads.

Suppler boiling water tap. Instant tea/coffee and no waiting for water to boil when cooking. Also warms up the cup or teapot!

One of those swinging egg seats in the garden, a double one so you can sit sideways with your legs up on the seat. It is THE most relaxing place to sit out with a drink and a book. We all fight over it.

My little tea strainer thing that sits in mugs. I've started growing fresh herbs like different types of mint & lemon balm, so pick fresh leaves, pop them in the strainer, pour hot water over and enjoy fresh brewed herbal tea. I hate herbal tea from tea bags but found I really enjoy this, plus know I'm getting all the health benefits too.

My headphones too.... I listen to music every single day and I'm definitely one of those people who has a bipolar playlist!! 😂 I also listen to books, podcasts and mediate daily. Sheer heaven.

Also my kindle. I can read at night with the light off, have several books loaded...

• Meditate!!
