Recent Amazon Purchases

Time for a little round-up of my recent share worthy Amazon purchases. I hate the huge case my headphones came with and obsessed with this silicone cover.

6 Sauna Benefits + Alternatives

My sister was visiting this weekend, and she finally got to use my sauna Sunday morning before her flight. She typically does infrared saunas, and was blown away how hot our sauna got.
