As a travel writer, I always recommend that people don’t pack their expensive jewelry to wear on their vacations; the risk of loss outweighs the hour or so of admiration from co-travelers and strangers. Philip Stein makes several luxury products, including wine aerators, and thousand-dollar watches that have technology devised to improve quality of sleep and reduce jet lag. Not that I own a thousand-dollar watch, but if I did, you know I’d never pack it for a trip. The possibility of theft or loss would give me enough stress to counterbalance any stress-relieving effects of the Natural Frequency Technology — and then some. Fortunately the Philip Stein FRUITZ watch is a much more 
reasonably priced alternative, and someone will win a Peace Love FRUITZ watch with the design of their choice through this giveaway.
The Philip Stein FRUITZ watch giveaway is easy to enter, and the winner can choose their FRUITZ watch design from the PeaceLove Studios Collection. These all have artistic, painted dials. There are two ways to enter this giveaway each day.

The Philip Stein FRUITZ watches are all well-made, good looking timepieces, and a few of the designs are whimsical. The Peace Love line also benefits children living with mental illness by giving them access to art. There’s at least one pattern for just about any personal preference in watch design. The Peace Love FRUITZ watches retail for $225 US. Good luck! Edit: This giveaway has ended.

I make a list of at least 25 good things in my life before drifting off.
One way I destress is by going for walks. Somehow, being out with nature and getting some exercise is very relaxing.
I pray and spend time with my family

Sleep is easy for me…I go to bed early and get up early.
I try to improve my sleep by trying to go to sleep the same time every night. Not having any thing to drink at least 2 hours before bed. Last making sure I have a very comfy pillow.
Final tweet, good luck everyone
