sun, analyzing the evidence (mate has been avoiding him, has made a nest, is currently holding an infant): sun: sun: OH MY GOD DID YOU HAVE A BABY???????????????? reader, holding an infant fish they randomly found, panicking trying to figure how to be a fish-parent, worried that their fish friends might try to fucking EAT THE BABY: HUH???

sailor reader who befriended some mers and now the way they let each other know theyre around is by singing a call-and-response type song and waiting for the other to respond

Lils's 2022 Fanfic Retrospective
Haven't done one of these in a while because something about Covid just seriously sapped my creative energies right out of me and I ended up not writing nearly as much as I wanted for 2020 and 2021. But something in Autumn of 2022 perked me back up, and here's what was accomplished:
Broken Hallelujah: My beloved non-linear narrative Archangel Samuel with Sastiel fic, with wonderful art by @jazzforthecaptain! Not a new fic by any stretch, but I did get a new chapter polished up enough to post.
Unspoken Rules Can't Be Broken: A deviation back into the Harry Potter fandom, because my fandom interests are ever-cyclical. This one was a writing prompt for Harry/Hermione with a specific prompted time-travel do-over premise. I'm not the only person to do it, but I seem to have done a few things that are unique according to my readers.
Wer zu Lebzeit gut auf Erden: More Supernatural! This one was a belated birthday gift to my beloved mutual enabler @rodiniaorzetalthepenquin, featuring a canon divergence at Swan Song where Lucifer and Michael were pushed into the Cage without their vessels, Gabriel took over Heaven, and the Winchesters were told firmly to take a few months (or years) off from doing anything that might break the world again. Very Samcentric despite being Dean's POV, and with some definite Sastiel undercurrents.
Every Time A Bell Rings: A platonic Destiel psuedo-sequel to "Wer zu Lebzeit" as a birthday gift for my bae @jupiterjames who deserved to have something sweet to enjoy. Castiel bakes a pie, and Dean has a canon praise kink. XD
Durch du Engel Halleluja: The actual sequel to "Wer zu Lebzeit" with Christmas, family togetherness, expected and unexpected guests, and Sam FINALLY gets to see the photographs Castiel and Dean keep taking. (Only chapter one got finished by midnight of December 31st, but by golly is this thing going to be finished before February!
Living, Learning, Tongue-Tied, Trying: A snippet originally written for Ro as a happy thought piggybacked off one of her fics of Team Free Will 2.0 before Chuck decided to be an assbutt with Jack going off to college. Also heavily Sastiel, because that's how we roll. XD
These Dying Embers: A contemplative Michael in the Cage watching Lucifer taking Sam apart over and over and over. I actually don't remember how long ago I wrote this one for @threshie, though if I took the hours needed to scroll back through my tumblr messaging history with Ro I'm sure I'd find a date range.
Crack Fic Hat Tricks: Also not new, these were born out of a writing challenge issued by @sageclover61 in one of the Discord servers. Despite the series name, they aren't all crack, but they were definitely all fun to write!
Diamonds Falling Down - Bela Talbot/Lisa Braeden
A Vow Unto His Own - Sam Winchester & Garth Fitzgerald IV
And I Feel Fine - Kevin Tran & Balthazar & Chuck Shurley
You Just Gotta Take A Piece Of Me - Gabriel/Donna & Anael
Let's Go Out With A Bang - Tessa the Reaper/Pamela Barnes/Ruby
Burn Your Biographies: Sabriel this time! Possibly unrequited, possibly not, I left it ambiguous because Gabriel was a traumatized little puppy for a while there.
Maybe More Than Enough: What's this? A new installment of the Something Beautiful Sastimmy Soulmate Saga?? In 2022?? Yep, apparently so! Dean gets filled in on the scoop Sam got from Castiel and sets off to get his brother's soulmate and his family some supernatural protection.
Sons of Men, and Angels: WOOOOOO! This is the original start to the Samael series, the very first work that featured Sam time-travelling back to derail the Apocalypse! I started this thing soooooo many years ago, and there's still so much in this universe that I've got written but can't post yet because THIS, this one is where it all started! If you've already read the Sam Squared series, you'll have a ton of spoilers for where this is going. And speaking of that series....
In The End We'll Surely Lose: This baby got two more chapters added to it, and the fourth is almost ready to be put up! Truly this was a good year for working with Samael's stories because...
Margin of Loss: Ouch. This one hurt to write. It was a random little thought of the canon universe that Sam left behind in SoMaA and the seasons of mess that followed and what it meant that Dean said Yes to a Michael from a completely different timeline instead of the one still trapped in the Cage with Adam. (It may also have been the jumping point of another SoMaA spin-off series like Sam Squared; there's a few of them at this point.)
The Dragon's Librarian: Another somewhat random ficlet that spawned in Discord chat with Ro-- literally, I wrote the whole thing in the chat window. Platonic or pre-Sastiel, with Prince Sam and Dragon Castiel as a hefty dose of inspiration from The Enchanted Forest Chronicles because I will probably never stop loving those books.
And last but definitely not least....
Tell It On The Mountain: A fluffy Sastiel story for @mrswhozeewhatsis for the @spnfanficpond Secret Santa exchange, featuring physically manifested wings, truth compulsions, cuddling by the fire, and mutual consideration for consent and bodily autonomy. (With some Accidentally Engaged thrown in for fun. XD)
And there we have it! Everything I wrote, worked on, and posted in the year 2022! Feel free to peruse various prompt lists I have and drop one in my ask box if you've got something you think would be up my alley to write, and let's see if we can't make 2023 even more prolific than 2022!

From award-winning director and frequent Sondheim collaborator James Lapine, Six by Sondheim is an intimate and candid look at the life and art of legendary composer-lyricist Stephen Sondheim, who redefined musical theater through such works as Company, Sweeney Todd and Sunday in the Park with George. Told primarily in Sondheim’s own words from dozens of interviews spanning decades, the film is a highly personal profile of a great American artist as revealed through the creation and performance of six of his songs. It features rarely seen archival performance footage and original staged productions – created exclusively for this film – with stars including Audra McDonald, Darren Criss, America Ferrera and more.

With the help of Poison Ivy (Lake Bell) and a ragtag crew of DC castoffs, Harley tries to earn a seat at the biggest table in villainy: the Legion of Doom. Don’t worry – she’s got this. Or does she? In Season 2, Harley has defeated the Joker, and Gotham City is hers for the taking…what’s left of it, that is. Her celebration in the newly created chaos is cut short when Penguin, Bane, Mr. Freeze, The Riddler and Two-Face join forces to restore order in the criminal underworld. Calling themselves the Injustice League, they’re intent on keeping Harley and her crew from taking control as the top villains in Gotham.

By day, Mark Hunter (Christian Slater) is a painfully shy new kid in a small Arizona town. But by night, he’s Hard Harry, the cynical, uncensored DJ of a pirate radio station. Idolized by his high school classmates (who are unaware of his real identity), Harry becomes a hero with his fiercely funny monologues on sex, love, and rock and roll. But when he exposes the corrupt school principal, she calls in the FCC to shut Harry down. An outrageous rebel with a cause, Slater gives a brilliant performance as the reluctant hero who inspires his classmates to find their own voices of rebellion and individuality. A movie with a message, Pump Up the Volume is a raw and witty celebration of free speech that will make you laugh, make you cheer and make you think.
NEW 2020 1080p HD master! A TALE OF TWO CITIES (1935) Run Time             126:00 Subtitles               English SDH Audio Specs        DTS HD-Master Audio 2.0 - English, MONO - English Aspect Ratio       1.37:1 Disc Configuration           BD 50
Special Features: Audioscopiks (MGM short); 2 Classic Cartoons 'Hey, Hey Fever' and 'Honeyland'; Radio adaptation with Ronald Colman; Trailer
“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…” Charles Dickens’ tale of love and tumult during the French Revolution comes to the screen in a sumptuous film version by the producer famed for nurturing sprawling literary works: David O. Selznick (David Copperfield, Anna Karenina, Gone with the Wind). Ronald Colman (The Prisoner of Zenda) stars as Sydney Carton – sardonic, dissolute, a wastrel…and destined to redeem himself in an act of courageous sacrifice. “It's a far, far better thing I do than I have ever done,” Carton muses at that defining moment. This is far, far better filmmaking too: a Golden Era marvel of uncanny performances top to bottom, eye-filling crowd scenes (the storming of the Bastille, thronged courtrooms, an eerie festival of public execution) and lasting emotional power. Revolution is in the air!
NEW 2021 1080p HD master! BABY DOLL (1956) Run Time             114:00 Subtitles               English SDH Audio Specs        DTS HD-Master Audio 2.0 - English, MONO - English Aspect Ratio       1.85:1, 16 X 9 Letterbox Product Color    BLACK & WHITE Disc Configuration           BD 50

Times are tough for cotton miller Archie (Karl Malden), but at least he has his child bride (Carroll Baker), who’ll soon be his wife in title and truth. The one-year agreement keeping them under the same roof – yet never in the same bed – is about to end. But a game with a sly business rival (Eli Wallach) is about to begin. In Baby Doll, as in A Streetcar Named Desire, director Elia Kazan and writer Tennessee Williams broke new ground in depicting sexual situations – earning condemnation from the then-powerful Legion of Decency. They earned laurels too: four Academy Award® nominations, Golden Globe® Awards for Baker and Kazan, and a British Academy Award for Wallach. Watch this funny, steamy classic that, as Leonard Maltin’s Movie Guide proclaims, “still sizzles.”

Romantic drama combines with humor, starpower combines with lavish spectacle and the walls come tumbling down! This Academy Award-winning extravaganza’s street-splitting, brick-cascading, fire-raging recreation of the cataclysmic earthquake remains "one of the greatest action sequences in the history of the cinema, rivalling the chariot race in both Ben-Hurs" (Adrian Turner, Time Out Film Guide).
Clark Gable plays rakish Barbary Coast kingpin Blackie Norton. Jeanette MacDonald portrays a singer torn by her love for Blackie and her need to succeed among the operagoing elite. Earning the first of nine career Best Actor Oscar® nominations,* Spencer Tracy is a priest who supplements spiritual advice with a mean right hook. He urges Blackie to change.

Surely Day and MacRae will make musical harmony. And On Moonlight Bay will have you sailing along.

talk about some of your wow ocs!!
this is always a weird subject, since... the friends i got into wow with always sort of ignored me, and my ocs more specifically, and just stayed in their own little corner with each other. so i always thought my ocs were the problem, and repeatedly remade all of them, even if they were fine. so a lot of them are kind of underdeveloped despite having years of attention on them
the first is skalla, my main! except she’s not one character, she’s like... 3? possibly 4 soon. she’s always been an alliance druid, but her character has changed with her race. first she was a worgen (basically a werewolf). her history involved some really tragic bloody stuff like having to kill her own brother, i think? it was a while ago. so she was very... disillusioned. she had a plotline wrapped up with a villain i made, a corrupted green dragon named ysibyl. when i decided to racechange skalla, i said that skalla 1.0 was killed in draenor, but ysibyl died too. killed by.... skalla 2.0! 
skalla 2.0 was a green dragon and i think i said ysibyl’s mother? i didnt have too much lore to her, though she exists as a minor background character for some of my other characters, skalra. shes just an old green dragon who likes mortals. i didnt have a lot of meat to her so i made skalla 3.0, aka current skalla. shes a night elf, and has this complicated backstory about getting seperated from her birth family as a child, being adopted, then her adopted mother disappearing. she was always kind of anxious and tightly wound but a talented druid, and eventually stuff happened (at one point it was that her ex and her cousin left to become demon hunters, but that was with a friend’s character, so...) and she ran off into the woods to live in isolation. when there she was eventually approached by ela’lothen, a wild god (read: powerful... animal... nature... spirit thing) who mentored her and brought her into the fold of a kinda secret druid order. she came back to civilization to help fight te legion, and was gonna have an arc about stepping up and mentoring some people in her druid order
skalla 4.0 potentially will be a kul’tiran druid. kul’tirans are this cool never race of humans who are all sea-based and live on an island but their druid forms are cool wicker beasts? anyway it feels more appropriate for skallagrim, named after a norse saga character and associated with wolves, should go back to a sea-faring people with wolf-y druid forms. kul’tirans also have a facial option to have scars over one eye, which is GREAT because one of the standing themes of skalla is having one missing eye
okay OTHERS
i think ive talked about catocala a bit in the past so ill skip over her for a few others
let’s see... oh, maive! she probably deserves a new name since shes RADICALLY different from maive at this point, and deserves her own identity. anyway. shes a draenei death knight! draenei are this... ancient fucking race of goat aliens. she spent most of her life on draenor, and was a warrior i think? she was kind of an asshole, but she wasn’t a vindicator (read: paladin) because she wasn’t down with the light as much. iirc she was kind of in love with this... priest? holy paladin? kerani, who was actually kind of a basis for cato. ANYWAY. they come to azeroth like the other draenei yadda yadda stuff happens wrath of the lich king, they both go on an expedition to northrend to fight the scourge (zombie) threat... and despite her efforts, all the expedition dies. maive and maive alone is raised to undeath as a death knight. she goes through the usual death knight stuff of being evil and then breaking free of the lich king and being good, etc. shes a bit odd for a death knight because shes both very aware and has a decent moral center. she doesnt like other death knights very might. shes... angry. and sad. and RED. her theme color is red, which was hard to get a decent transmog for, okay
who else... oh, beli! beliax/beliaxia is a young black dragon. black dragons (save for like 2 of them) are “corrupted” which means the old gods make them evil or... something. whatever. legion introduced this small group of blue dragons living on their own on the broken isles so i said “fuck it, all the flights have a small group like this”. beli was the leader of the black enclave, or whatever i called it. basically, when she was very young, she petititoned the other dragonflight enclaves not to kill her (despite being corrupted), because she was too weak to be a threat, and just wanted to survive! she managed to convince the others to let her live and let her rescue other eggs and raise them, so long as she... yknow... didnt cause trouble. so shes a teenage leader of a group of like 30 babies. she... is kind of evil, but its all driven by survival and ambition. originally she was gonna get recruited into another group of older black dragons and just get so enamored with power that she pulled some shit. beli goes back to the onyxia days of subtlely and scheming, but she just has an ambition to have power that comes from not wanting to feel powerless. i actually like her as a villain a lot and i need to weave her into someone’s storyline...
okay this post is long enough ill stop, but!

How to Choose an Organic Mattress (+ My Top Mattress Reviews)
New Post has been published on http://healingawerness.com/news/how-to-choose-an-organic-mattress-my-top-mattress-reviews/
How to Choose an Organic Mattress (+ My Top Mattress Reviews)
I’ve often read the statistic that we spend 1/3 of our lives sleeping (or over 2,500 hours per year) but I have to laugh because those hours are obviously not during the time of life with new babies or potty-training toddlers.
Of course, those statistics are meant to highlight the importance of sleep environment since such a substantial part of our life is spent in our beds. I think sleep environment is even more important when we aren’t able to get enough of the best kind of sleep since we have to make the best use of the sleep time we do get. Read on to learn the biggest factors to consider when choosing a high-quality organic mattress including price, chemicals used, EMF exposure, and flame retardants.
The Problems With Regular Mattresses
I’ve written before about how to optimize your bedroom environment for the best sleep and even mentioned the importance of an organic mattress, but it took us years to finally decide on our own mattress and actually get it.
What seems like an inert and harmless thing, a soft pillowtop mattress, is often a source of exposure to flame retardants, EMFs amplified by innersprings, and millions of mites.
Flame Retardants & Other Harmful Chemicals
Mattresses can be a major source of chemical exposure. Mattress companies are not required to disclose all of the chemicals they use and have to withstand an open flame from a blowtorch for over a minute. To accomplish this, many companies (over 90% in a recent survey) douse mattresses in flame-retardant chemicals like polybrominated diphenyl ether, better known as PBDE. These chemicals are highly toxic and do not have to be disclosed!
PCBEs are banned in Canada, Europe, and even parts of the US. They can accumulate in the body through skin and inhalation exposure and are associated with hormone, brain, and reproductive damage, especially in children.
Mattresses can also contain harmful compounds like:
Formaldehyde – Commonly used in mattresses, especially as an adhesive in mattresses made from polyurethane foam (a toxic petroleum-based material).
VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) – Can cause lung and skin irritation and are often found in the glue in many mattresses.
Decabromodiphenyl Oxide and other Brominated Flame Retardants – These are linked to hair and memory loss and are listed as possible carcinogens.
Chemical flame retardants aren’t the only problem with conventional mattresses, however.
EMF Exposure
Coil spring mattresses have the added danger of being high in electromagnetic frequencies. Sound crazy? Maybe not.
This article from Scientific American explains how rising rates of breast cancer and melanoma in the Western world provide a possible explanation:
As we sleep on our coil-spring mattresses, we are in effect sleeping on an antenna that amplifies the intensity of the broadcast FM/TV radiation. Asleep on these antennas, our bodies are exposed to the amplified electromagnetic radiation for a third of our life spans. As we slumber on a metal coil-spring mattress, a wave of electromagnetic radiation envelops our bodies so that the maximum strength of the field develops 75 centimeters above the mattress in the middle of our bodies. When sleeping on the right side, the body’s left side will thereby be exposed to field strength about twice as strong as what the right side absorbs.
I recently had my home professionally evaluated for EMFs so that I could address any issues. He tested our mattresses and found EMF activity and magnetism related to our mattress springs (and this was not present in the coil-free organic mattress our kids use).
Millions of Mites, Oh My!
I didn’t realize how much of a problem dust mites could be until I sat down to do the research. These unsavory critters feed off human and animal dander (excess skin shed from the body). After ingesting this dead skin, mites then defecate and their feces accumulate inside the mattress. A single mite can produce up to 2000 units of fecal matter in a period of 10 weeks. A harmful allergen, mite fecal matter has been proven to impact sleep quality and other aspects of health. Female dust mites live about two months and can lay 100 eggs a month during this time.
I’ve read that mattresses doubled their weight every 10 years due to dead skin, dust mites, and mildew. I couldn’t actually find a study to back this large weight gain, but there is a lot of evidence about mildew, mold, and mite buildup over time. Sleep conditions lead to this, and the mattress and cover we choose makes a big difference.
Research did reveal, however, that a used mattress can have up to 10 million mites inside (eww!).
So while our mattresses may not be doubling in weight, the real risk is exposure to the feces of these mites.
How to Find an Organic Mattress
Just knowing the problem does not unfortunately lead to a solution. Even after I’d researched the problem with conventional mattresses, I still had trouble finding a mattress brand that was a good alternative for us.
An organic mattress often contains cotton, wool, latex, or a combination of the three. On their own, these ingredients are generally considered safe but some of them can still be problematic in mattresses. Additionally, there is a lot of green-washing and mislabeling in the mattress industry and it is important to check for undisclosed added flame retardants.
Organic Certifications in Mattresses
Terms like “natural” and “eco-friendly” are unregulated for mattresses. They also don’t mean that the mattress is made of natural materials. A mattress must be 95% organic to meet USDA organic mattress standards and be labeled as organic. Some mattresses may use organic cotton or organic wool for the top layer, but check before assuming an organic label means an entirely natural mattress.
If a mattress is certified organic, it is certified by a third party. Look for terms like:
GOTS – Global Organic Textile Standard. Mattresses with this certification must use at least 95% certified organic fibers for all fabric used.
GOLS – This stands for Global Organic Latex Standard and is the first third party standard for organic latex. It specifies that the latex used must be at least 95% organic latex.
GREENGUARD – An independent certification that requires environmental chamber tests for over 360 chemicals. This certification specifies that a mattress is low in VOCs, phthalates, formaldehyde, and other harmful chemicals and that it is safe for children and the elderly.
If you’re buying a mattress that contains both cotton/wool and latex, it is good for it to have all of these certifications.
Factors to Consider When Choosing an Organic Mattress
Finding a safe and organic mattress was the first priority but comfort was also really important to us. We also didn’t want to break the bank (since there are eight of us)! When choosing mattresses, we considered and ranked mattresses based on:
Safety
Based on the criteria above, we looked for organic and non-toxic mattresses that had been third-party tested. We also looked at potential EMF risk from coils. See my recommendations and what we chose below with specific notes on safety factors below. We also use mattress covers that can be easily washed to reduce the build-up of mites over time.
Comfort
My husband and I take jujutsu together several times a week. It is a very physical form of martial arts that often involves throws, rolls, and flying through the air. We admittedly often get a little sore from these workouts, so a rejuvenating sleep with as much pressure relief as possible was a priority.
Many organic mattresses I’d tried tended to be very firm and I wanted to find one that was supportive, but not overly firm.
On the other end of the spectrum, many organic memory foam mattresses can be too soft. Memory foam was developed my NASA to support astronauts as they adjusted to the force of gravity after being in space. Unfortunately, many memory foam mattresses are chemical-based and contain flame retardants. They can also be too soft for many people.
Price
Of course, most of us don’t have an unlimited budget for a mattress. Especially in families, budget matters a lot and while safety was a top priority, budget was a big factor for us as well. (See budget notes on my top picks below.)
Organic Mattress Reviews & My Picks
With eight beds plus a crib in our home, we’ve had the chance to try out many natural and organic mattresses over the years. We tried many options for our king mattress and it has been quite the saga over the years.
To hopefully make your choice easier than ours was, I’ve ranked all the ones we’ve tried that meet my criteria below. I also included notes about chemicals, EMF exposure, price, and comfort under each listing. If a discount was available, I included that as well.
The mattress we picked may not end up being your top pick but I hope that my reviews (and fails) help you make an informed decision. I think that all of the mattresses below are great options and list my concerns with any of them as well as the things we love.
Please note that I am now an affiliate for several of these companies. We purchased our mattresses to try them and only signed up after purchasing a mattress so all reviews could be objective. This also means that if you should purchase a mattress based on my recommendation, I may make a small commission and I am grateful for your support.
Obasan Mattress Review & Rating
Obasan makes high quality GOTS and GOLS certified mattresses without inner springs. EMFs can be more problematic for children, so I wanted to avoid springs for the kids. Several of our kids have an Obasan Fundy 1.0 mattress and one of our crib mattresses is a Terra Nova 2.0.
I really like the price point of the baby and child mattresses from Obasan as they are some of the most budget friendly on this list with no real downsides. We’ve never tried the king mattress, but based on how comfortable the kids mattresses are, I’d say Obasan is another top choice. They also ship to Canada.
Overall Rating: 4.5 out of 5 (5 out of 5 for baby and kids)
Safety: These top the list for safety. GOLS and GOTS certifications mean that 95% of materials used are organic and they don’t contain springs so there are no EMF concerns. Another benefit if you have bunk beds — the Fundy 1.0 is a thin mattress so it is great for top bunks. Several twin mattresses we’ve tried have been too tall and met the top of the guard rail, making it easier for kids to roll off. The Fundy is just right.
Price: Range from about $1,100 for the Fundy 1.0 basic twin (what we have on kids’ beds) up to $6,000 for a top-of-the-line king ($7,100 with frame), with many options in between. Top pick for kids for this reason.
Discount: Use this link and the code WELLNESSMAMAKID to get a free wool mattress protector with any Fundy or crib mattress.
Comfort: The kids love how comfortable their mattresses are. It is important to note that the Fundy 1.0 mattresses are recommended for up to 150 pounds for maximum comfort. That said, visiting friends have slept in our kids’ bunk beds at times and said that the mattresses were comfortable. Our crib mattress has lasted through several babies and is still going strong. As I said, we’ve never tried the queen or king mattresses.
Intellibed Mattress Review & Rating
We currently have an Intellibed mattress as our king bed. Intellibed uses a Gel Matrix in their mattresses that is made in America and doesn’t off-gas harmful chemicals. (If you have some time, check out the full story of how we finally settled on this and the summary of my 200+ hours of research here).
To be really clear, the mattress we chose is not certified organic but does contain safe materials according to my research. I also don’t believe that any one mattress is the right bed for every single person, but this one has worked best for us based on comfort and safety. They have a 60-day full money-back guarantee so we tried it before we had to make a final decision.
Overall Rating: 4.0 out of 5
Safety:  Intellibed is not certified organic (my one complaint) but is tested to be non-off-gassing and inert. It does contain coils so EMFs can be a concern, especially for those who are very EMF sensitive. Their high-end model has three coil zones so EMFs may be of more concern with this one. We have their basic model and comfort was the main factor in our choice since my husband had back pain from other mattresses we tried.
Price: Range from about $2,700 for a basic twin up to $6,400 for a high-end king.
Comfort: Of all the mattresses we’ve tried (and we tried a LOT), Intellibed gets our highest comfort rating. Their “gel matrix” is what seems to provide the right mix of firm and soft and this same technology is used in burn units and hospitals to help avoid pressure sores.
Essentia Mattress Review & Rating
Essentia is another high quality GOTS and GOLS certified mattress with several other independent lab tests. We had an Essentia for a couple of years but it ended up being too soft for my athletic husband. (I do think it would be an awesome choice for anyone who likes a soft memory foam type mattresses.) Of course we didn’t try every mattress they have, so there may be one that we would have loved. We tried the Dormeuse Fior, so if you are athletic and looking at an Essentia, consider one of their more firm choices.
I have their Comfort pillow and absolutely love it and still use it every night (and miss it when I travel).
Overall Rating: 4.2 out of 5
Safety:  These top the list for safety. GOLS and GOTS mean that 95% of materials used are organic and they don’t contain springs so there are no EMF concerns.
Price: Range from about $2,100 for a basic twin up to $7,656 for a top-of-the-line king with many options in between. They are more pricey than some other options but are very high quality.
Discount: Use the code wellnessmama15 for 15% off any Essentia product. In addition, occasional discounts and sales are available at this link.
Comfort: I found their mattress comfortable but it was too soft for my husband and made his back hurt over time. That said, they have many options we did not try that may have been more comfortable.
My Green Mattress Review & Rating
We have one of these mattresses on one of our guest bunk beds. These are GOLS, GOTS, and GREENGUARD certified. I slept on it one night to test it and found it comfortable. My Green Mattress mattresses are some of the most budget friendly, but my one major concern (especially for kids) is the innerpsring metal coils and the EMF risk. When the mattress arrived, it also had a slight off-gassing smell for a couple of days.
Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 (due to coils in all mattresses)
Safety:  Latex and cotton/wool are certified organic and safe but the springs carry potential EMF concerns.
Price: Range from $649 to $1,594 so very budget friendly for an organic mattress.
Discount: Occasional discounts and sales are available at this link. For twin mattresses and larger, use code WM125 for $125 off your order. For any crib mattress purchases, use code WMCRIB25 for $25 off your purchase.
Comfort: Seemed comfortable when I slept on. it. The kids seem to think Obasan mattresses are a little more comfortable but don’t complain about either one.
Other Great Organic Mattress Options
I have admittedly not had the chance to try every natural and organic mattress available. I’ve only reviewed the ones I’ve personally tried above. I also wanted to share a few others that meet the organic mattress criteria but I haven’t personally had a chance to try.
These mattresses are also organic and have been recommended by readers or personal friends:
Naturepedic Organic Mattress: They have many organic options, some without springs. Prices range from $1,100 to $4,800. Available in some stores. My recommendation would be to only consider options without innersprings.
Happsy: Prices range from $900 to about $1,600. All of their mattresses do seem to have springs so EMFs could be an issue.
Final Thoughts
Organic mattresses certainly aren’t cheap, but since we spend so much time in bed, investing in a high quality and safe mattress can have a big impact on health. If you are working toward purchasing an organic mattress, but can’t swing it quite yet, I discuss several options that may help make your current sleep environment healthier in this post. As with any aspect of health, I’d encourage you to do your own thorough research before making a decision. Hopefully, my experience can be a helpful part of your research!
Have you switched to an organic mattress? If not, will you?

In New York: Best health insurance on the cheap?
This information is for my stepdaughter and her family. After long term unemployment her husband recently went back to work as a trucker. He might bring home around $500 per week. They presently have no health insurance, although she said a New York State program would cover her two younger children. This leaves her and husband uninsured because his new job has no health coverage. Somehow she found a company willing to insure them for around $200+ a month. What this insurance covers I do not know. (By the premiums, I don't think much) The problem is they don't have much more than the $200+ to pay per month. Can someone tell me how to find(in New York) legitimate insurance companies with affordable cost? Also how can I educate myself on health insurance, the details, so that I can advise them correctly? They're in their late 30s and in reasonably in good health. Any an all advice greatly appreciated Tony""

Found a new job the paid great until they changed my pay in 3 weeks and then laid me off right before my insurance would kick in and said we are just looking for part-time. So here i am again I love nannying but I cant get insurance I applied for mass health ( lets be real, that i wont see for months) I though about severing two but I do want a life. I have a great bf and we will get married and everything but that wont be till like 2 or 3 years. I cant wait that long for insurance. Any ideas?? I be applying for months and nothin. I have had my resume and cover looked at by professionals so i don't know whats wrong.""
