0:00.0	Before we dive into today's episode, I want to take a moment to talk about something that's
0:07.7	really, really important to me. Sleep. We all know how crucial a good night's rest is,
0:14.5	but have you ever thought about how your sleep environment affects both your health and the planet?
0:20.5	That is where Natural Mat comes in. From the very
0:23.6	beginning, they prioritise sustainability by using certified organic materials like locally sourced
0:30.3	organic wool. Their mattresses and bedding aren't just better for you. They're better for the
0:35.8	environment too. And everything is handmade with care
0:39.1	and craftsmanship in their Devon workshop. So if you want to improve your sleep while making a

2:03.0	Talley was like the leader of the pack and she's always been the most popular funny girl
