Two updates:

1) a friend just texted me asking "who actually irons their pyjamas/sheets" and the answer is.. my mother. Literally every single time.

2) apparently you can wash silk pyjamas (specifically Asceno ones) in the washing machine!!

I think it's a Nigerian mother thing - my mum used to make us iron her bedsheets too!!

This is a brilliant and well timed piece, thanks 🙏🏿💓

Loool that’s true sufferation! Mine only used to make me iron my own - didn’t appreciate it at the time (and rarely do it now) but your sheets do actually feel much nicer when you do.

I have only just got into slippers and I honestly dunno how I existed without them...

So I wonder if this might actually be a cultural thing? Every ethnic household I know is big on slippers, but my white friends.. not so much!

I was just thinking this as I scrolled past the slippers. Don't know how I ever thought I was comfy without them!

‘I feel like a pioneer woman on a homestead tending my hearth whenever I’m wearing one, or the fifth Little Woman’ YEP! Have said this has been super cool for years but no one seems to have caught on. Glad someone is in the same camp. The camp that has a fire and horses tethered nearby and our sleeping bags set up ready to snuggle into 😏

Wintrovert is my new favorite word. The weather here in NYC in January is equally dismal. 😂

Thank you! And glad to hear it - I prefer sending them out monthly rather than weekly so do a mega long one instead, but I worry each time that they're too long.. so this is v helpful feedback :)

Thanks for another brilliant piece!

Please can you share the brand of the gorgeous navy fisherman knit jumper that you were wearing on your stories the other day?
