'helpful tips 101from elefantitas alegres by Kate'

last night i made a seriously exciting discovery... there are TIES on the inside of my duvet cover that connect to the LOOPS on the corners of my down comforter, ensuring that the duvet STAYS IN PLACE and doesn't shift or bunch. ummmmmmmmm, why did no one tell me this? i've spent YEARS battling the bunchy duvet every morning, bemoaning the glorious photo spreads in Pottery Barn, asking the god (little 'g') of housewares why my duvet never lived up!

this is the type of information that needs to be parachuted into your window (or Harry Potter owl-style-delivery, perhaps) on the day of high school graduation. or better yet, THIS is the shit that needs to be taught in some mandatory elective course prior to the obligatory mortar board toss. because really, did Ceramics II get you anywhere in life?
