This is a $300 sheet set and it's what I call a little luxury part nine. A little luxury is a premium version of something, but at an affordable price for the average person. Today, we're starting with Pangaea sweatpants. These are the most insane sweatpants I've ever worn. They're ridiculously comfy and luxurious feeling. Pangaea is a collective made up of scientists, engineers, artists, designers, and thinkers. They're focused on finding new and innovative materials that are both functional and good for the planet, a rare combination. At a $100, they're certainly a bit pricey, but a splurge, I think you'll thank yourself for. David protein bars. Okay. Yes. There's some controversy over the ingredients, but when it comes to taste and macros, they cannot be beat. The flavors are insanely delicious. There are a couple I don't like. And the 28 grams of protein to two grams of fat and 13 grams of carbs is unmatched. And to be honest, I still eat a burger and fries and pizza and even some seed oils. So I'm just not that worried about the ingredients in my protein bars. West Elm linen sheets. This is one of my all time favorite little luxuries. I hesitated initially because of the price even though I had heard legends about them. But I finally pulled the trigger that one hot summer four years ago, and I've never looked back. These are the lightest, comfortablest, air breathingest sheets I've ever owned in my life, and they're an absolute must have for summer. I actually get into my bed and often smile because they make me so happy.
