What to Immediately Toss in 2025
When I first started dating my boyfriend, I did one thing right away—I threw out his bed pillows. One day, while he was at work, I tackled a laundry list of to-dos, and when he got home and asked about my day, I casually added, “Oh, and I threw away all of your pillows.” His eyes widened in shock, and I couldn’t help but burst out laughing. “What? They were gross,” I said. And honestly? They were. No offense to him, but this is something everyone should consider doing immediately as we kick off 2025.
Sleep hygiene is having a moment right now, especially with all the “New Year, New Me” energy in the air. And let’s face it—your bedding and bedroom environment directly affect the quality of your sleep. Sure, upgrading your lighting to help you wind down at night, investing in better blinds, or getting the perfect alarm clock are all worthwhile moves, but let’s start with the easiest (and cheapest) fix: pillows.
Pillows are one of those things we grow oddly attached to and never think to replace. When I told my sister about my pillow purge, she laughed so hard she cried. But listen—I am who I am, and those pillows had to go. Of course, I replaced them immediately with the Beckham Hotel Pillows from Amazon. They’re affordable, they’re dreamy, and they’ll make you wonder why you clung to your old, lumpy ones for so long.
So, if you’re going to do anything productive today, make it this: toss your pillows. Right now. I promise you’ll sleep better tonight.
More tips and ideas coming soon. Not that I’m claiming to be an authority on anything, but maybe—just maybe—I know more than I give myself credit for. (Another 2025 resolution: take a cue from Demi Moore’s Golden Globe speech and own it!)
