"Coyuchi’s high-quality, organic, and intentional bedding combines luxury and the natural world in its pieces. As someone who cares about textures, materials, and aesthetics, their pieces are beautiful to look at when I’m awake — and so comfortable and cozy while I’m asleep." [Read my review]

How one reader is creating community:

"There are so many benefits to being in nature but oftentimes I'm walking alone. So last August I sent out an email to a group of women - some who I knew and others I didn't - to see if they would be interested in joining me for a Sunday morning hike starting at 9am. I showed up early not knowing what to expect and 13 women joined me that day. Now we do it once a month. There's a core group of women but new people come for each hike. It's been an amazing way to meet new people while experiencing nature." - SD
