Alcohol blocks the body's mechanism to transform the glucogen into glucose. That's why teenagers don't have dinner before drinking and get so pissed quickly: it's a hypoglucemia. In other words, hell yeah for the carbs before bed so you don't get a hypoglucemia in your sleep. I've got a friend that cooks rice before going out and eats it just before going to bed. He's a hard drinker and he never has a hangover. Or at least that's what he wants us to believe... :-P

Your home has a feeling of widness and cozyness that I love. The Murphy bed is really cool. And th fact you don't have a couch, makes the space look bigger. I used to have a pouf too, but finally I've bought an inflatable sofa. It's not as comfortable as a real one, but I can deinflate it whenever I need more space. And it's much cheaper!!

I set the alarm clock from my phone but switch off the phone after that. The clock will work anyway but I'm not risking to receive a wrong call at 3 am. And I usually listen to a relaxing playlist I've got on Spotify and check my email, Facebook and a couple of webs for 10 or 15 minutes before turning the lights off.

I've got three of them. I don't need the thermometer at all (I honestly don't cook that much). I bought the scale when I was on a diet and now it's so useful to me because I cook for myself and I never know how many spagetthis I should boil just by looking at them, for example. Weighting them works better for me.
About the timer, yeah, I could do it with my phone, but the timer is stuck on the fridge, so I always know exactly where it is. And it was very cheap.
And about the hand mixer, I've just bought it this week because I haven't had one in months and there are some recipes I can't make without it. I suposse everyone have their basics in the kitchen depending on what they eat and how they cook it. That's all.

I try to use CFLs most of the times but their light is so cold. I use an incandescent bulb for reading, for example. I can't stand CFL's light for some things.

It'll look wonderful. I completely agree with Peter. I suggest a foldable table against the wall opposite to the armchair so you have space enough for a cozy pouf for your feet. I think I'd read more if I had a place like that.

By the way, what I miss the most when I'm out of home is always my bed, with my bright coloured sheets and all my little pillows. And I miss my piano too. I don't often play it, but I feel better when I know it's right there waiting for me. :-)

I have a little blackboard in my bedroom and I write one of my favourite quotes or verses every now and then with coloured chalks.

My flatmate and I always leave our keys in a little tray in the hallway. That way, when one of us gets in, she knows if the other one's home. And that way we always know where our keys are.
But the detail that really makes me not to forget my keys when I get out is that we always lock the door from the inside when we get in or the outside when we get out. It's always locked even when we're home. So I must grab my keys to get out the flat. It's impossible for me to forget them. :-)

Damn it! I'm on vacation now and I forgot about groceries and clean sheets. Now I'm gonna miss that when I get back home. I wish you had posted this a week ago. ;-)
