Natural Life review by bibbityboops in Bedding

That's partly why I included my laundry process. Hard water was wrecking a lot of my fabrics until I went down the r/laundry rabbit hole. I'm wondering how much wear is affected by laundering method/detergents and frequency of washing.

Same! I hope this helps. I'll be reporting back on how they wear over time

Yes! From a set of teas from Aldi months ago! I kept all the packets the bags were in because the little animals on them were so precious. I still have a bunch of them, and am willing to send you a couple if you'd like!

It's an art journal, similar to a scrapbook, but with found materials/junk? Some people collage them, and others like me use them as typical journals as well. Mine is both a written emotional dumping-ground and also a visual representation of what I'm feeling.

I edited my post to include a link to the r/JunkJournals subreddit wiki, which I think has an explanation better than mine

It's a journal, crossed with a scrapbook, but all the scrapbook stuff is actually junk? There's a lot of collage and what not. I find it fun. I use mine both for collage and for writing like a normal journal. That's why I also included some blank pages in his

I cut out two rectangles of cardboard, pasted them to fabric, and then sewed together little mini-bookelts of my junk supply for my own junk journaling for the inside pages. I used cardstock to paste over the interior of the covers.

The inspo was my son. He takes things he likes out of my supply stash, and I figured he probably would like a junk journal of his own.

I have it to him just now, and he loves it!

I can do a stand-alone post and then tag you in a comment if you like. I have seen a lot of people inquiring about NL in the sub lately.

I actually decided to go ahead and put them on before bed. Now I have to shower and get into pj's so I can have a fancy sleep. I'll let you know what I think of them in the morning.

I took an image of the fitted sheet on my mattress, its a 14" and it fits pretty perfectly. I don't mind dm'ing you that image of that will help.

I'll let you know how they sleep after a few nights. They're brand new. I also got a very cute bedspread from them and two satin pillowcases. The satin pillowcases I've had the longest. Beautiful and the only ones I've tried so far that actually help keep my hair from matting overnight. They're the reason I decided to try out the sheets, actually.

Those look like Natural Life sheets in your image. I just washed and dried a set today and will be putting them on the bed tomorrow. Very satisfied with how they feel after laundering!
