From the lovely ichbineintaube who I miss A LOT.
1: Do you sleep with your closet doors open or closed?
MUST be closed or the blanket monsters will get us.
2: Do you take the shampoos and conditioner bottles from hotel?

MUST be tucked in at the foot. I can't sleep otherwise.

I don't do coupons really, since I mostly shop at Trader Joe's and local produce markets.
