How I Deal With City Noise

Busy cities can be very noisy, here's some tips and tricks for minimizing the noise!

- headboards, rugs, pillows and blankets all absorb noise, so having them all is a great hack for minimizing noise

- my hatch alarm clock/ sound machine has to be one of the greatest purchases I have ever made (got mine from Amazon!!). I play it every night to drown out the city noises.

- having sound machines! I work from home and am a therapist, so sound machines are a MUST. I have one on the door, one outside the door and one by my desk.
