I'm so excited about these new pillowcases! We're having them custom made, because it's so hard to find satin pillowcase that aren't polyester satin.

Now, I was raised to be a major fabric snob against polyester, and I STILL didn't realize what a difference it made. My mom wouldn't let me wear polyester because back in the 70's when she was a flight attendant, smoking was still allowed in airplanes. She said her polyester uniform went up in flames a number of times due to passenger's cigarettes. Yikes! As a result, she made all of my Halloween costumes, because pretty much ALL commercially made ones are polyester. :-)

So after the Rachael Ray show aired where I recommended people use satin pillow cases, she called me up and said, "Honey, why didn't you specify that it needs to be 100% SILK satin and not that crappy polyester satin?!?" I said, "You mean there's such a thing as polyester satin?!?" I honestly had no idea. I looked at my satin pillowcase that I got at Bed Bath and Beyond a few years ago, and sure enough, polyester. Who knew?

So luckily she told me that before we had actually ordered any pillowcases, because that's EXACTLY what we were about to order. I was able to switch our order to 100% silk, and the first shipment arrived last week, so I've used mine a number of times. OMG , it is SO much nicer than my old one! I had no idea. It's so much softer and not as hot, and I seriously feel like a PRINCESS when I use it! :-) You can see a picture of it here:

I gave one to my mom, and she said her flat, straight hair has tons more volume and is MUCH softer than when she was using cotton. :-) One of my employees also commented that her hairstyle lasts a lot better from one day to the next, since the cotton isn't pulling it and making it frizz. Yep, it's all about the silk pillowcases. :-) It makes me want to go take a nap! :-)
Ok, have a great Sunday everybody,
