I always love your suggestions, and the mixed price points – nothing makes me feel more like a loser than the impression that everyone else is wantonly buying whatever strikes their fancy, and I spend a lot of time on here wondering what the hell everyone does for a living and where I went wrong. But most of all I love your writing. You’re a natural writer, and believe me, as someone who edits for a living, that’s rare.

That necklace! May need to order it myself 🫶🏻

Also the last time I went to the cinema a couple sat next to us and pulled a full rotisserie chicken out a back pack. That was my last trip to the cinema….

The knitted vest! Gorgeous! I'm also really sensitive to noise and have gone through some many different earplug brands, including a set of Loops. They're fairly good at blocking out sound but very uncomfortable to sleep in - which is when I need them most, as I live above a group of loud students. The earplugs that have saved my life are Sleepeze Remedies from Amazon, which are made from a silicone material that mould to your ears. So comfy I forget I'm wearing them and they block out the music/shouting/door slamming/banging from downstairs. Really recommend!

Loop earplugs changed my life. Yes you need them. They are also so beautiful and cool so I never feel ashamed to have them in any social situation. I use mine at home with my family and at dance class and they work really well for both. Thank you for your inspiration!!!

Loved all of this!

That New Yorker article also took me for a spin. It felt like a movie and nothing like a real life story!

I bought some Loop earplugs because I have a hard time concentrating on conversations (especially in another language) if there are a ton of other noises and voices around me. I haven't been able to wear them for more than 30 seconds because they amplify all of the sounds of my insides–breathing, heartbeat, etc. It's too creepy!

I have a set of quiet and a set of experience from loop and i love them both. I struggle with loud sounds and use the quiet for sleeping and the experience for loud neighbours. I bought the experience originally for a stadium concert and oddly i found they made everything louder.

The Loop Earplugs are great btw! Not a complete shut-down from the world but similar to the noice-cancellation of my AirPods I’d say. So a great option if you don’t want to wear your headphones & more comfy.

Re cinema noises - your local, the Barbican cinema, does have the most civilised audiences I have ever encountered: not a natter nor a chatter nor a crisp packet crackle or even a crumple nor a loud popcorn munch, ever to be heard.
