Somnee
Somnee
Who knew a headband was the secret to a good night’s sleep? Developed by Dr. Matthew Walker and a team of University of California, Berkeley neuroscientists, Somnee helps you get better quality sleep. You wear the headband before bedtime, and it maps your unique brain waves. After learning about these patterns, the device guides the brain to its optimal state for sleep. Clinical trials have shown that Somnee can outperform melatonin, helping users fall asleep in half the time, extending sleep by about 30 minutes, and reducing sleep disruptions.
The Refill Shoppe
The Refill Shoppe

The Ventura, California-based boutique sells more than 50 refillable bath, body, home, and cleaning products, plus a curation of reusable finds like cloth facial rounds, sponges, and dryer balls. If you can’t make it to the store, there’s also a customizable “Sudscription” refill service that delivers these sustainable goods to your door.
ELEVEN Australia
