    The Duvet clips don't have to be visible if you turn it inside out when you clip it. Start with the cover inside out lay the duvet on top clip it flat to the cover then turn it right side in and the clips won't be visible but will do their job.

Since I started wearing darn tough socks, I've also replaced my t shirts and underwear with merino wool, but Darn Tough only makes socks. It's almost impossible for merino wool to hold bad odor which can come in handy. Smartwool and unbound are just a few of the brands I wear. None of these can be called cheap but I say they're an amazing value.

    Pair the tongue scraper with an antibacterial mouthwash or even a saltwater rinse if you cant handle mouthwash.
