The New Year comes with many new changes? From the way you revamp your home with your day-to-day decorations to the way in which you create goals to change bad habits; as we live to see a New Year, more changes are to follow. As a Black Southern Belle I have always heard the saying “out with the old and in with the new.” Even though it has become a common saying for many aspects of life, a good way to keep this ritual and tradition alive is by doing your version of “out with the old and in with the new.” While cleaning out the old, take some time to evaluate all bedrooms, your living room, and den to see how you can do a quick revamp that will bring comfort for all throughout. We all appreciate comfort, so when guests come over and family are in the same room, we want to provide comfort. One main way that we can add comfort in these areas are through cozy, soft yet firm pillows. Changing pillows for the New Year is a great way to get rid of the old and bring in new comfort; while also doing so in style.
