Bearaby, the sustainably sourced blanket company launched in Dec. 2018, has earned a cult following with celebrity fans and waitlists that have reached over 80,000 people. Now, as the leaves change, Bearaby has got you covered with all-new, nature-inspired colors for its just-released Tree Napper fall collection. 

Scientific theory posits that applying pressure with weighted blankets during sleep stimulates neurotransmitters like serotonin and melatonin that calm your brain in a principle called ‘deep pressure.’ Ask any weighted blanket convert and they’re bound to talk for hours about the sleep and anxiety-soothing benefits these heavy covers offer. Picking the right weighted blanket can take time and careful consideration, but Bearaby has got you attired with one of the best blankets around. Featuring a cozy knit texture that evenly distributes weight, Bearaby’s weave also eliminates the cumbersome filler common to weighted blankets.

True to Bearaby’s nature-first philosophy, the fall Tree Napper collection is crafted from Tencel Lyocell cellulose fiber, so you can enjoy restorative rest without worrying about polluting the planet with plastic beads. The cool-to-the-touch material allows users to get warm underneath while the fabric and knit helps the skin not to suffocate beneath heavy cloth. 

Everyone needs and deserves a good sleep, the simplest form of self-care. Bearaby believes if enough people get quality rest with ecologically considerate materials, we can sow the seeds of a healthier planet containing a happier population that’s one step closer to a calmer and more collected world.

Bearaby’s latest Tree Napper collection — offered in 15-, 20- and 25-pound weights — takes inspiration from the season’s woody, warm palette in five new colors: Maple, mahogany, cocoa, driftwood and ironbark. Blankets starts at $269 and are available for immediate purchase at  . (As of now, the ironbark colorway, though, is only available for pre-order.) We can’t wait to grab one ourselves.

Jeremy Allen White in Deliver Me From Nowhere

Music biopics are all the rage these days, and Bruce Springsteen is the latest icon to get the treatment. The first trailer for Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere sees The Bear star inhabiting the role of The Boss. The film is based on Warren's Zane's book of the same name, which focuses on the period when he was making his 1982 album Nebraska.

The film is directed by Scott Cooper, who also directed Jeff Bridges in Crazy Heart. In the trailer, we see White embodying Springsteen as he sings "Born to Run," and we also get a lengthy monologue from Jeremy Strong's Jon Landau as he explains why Springsteen feels the need to make this album.

TV's biggest heavyweights duke it out for the antihero crown
Breaking bad season 4 screen shot

Sports fans often debate between two heavyweight legends. For basketball, it's LeBron James and Michael Jordan. Switching to tennis, you have Roger Federer fans and Rafael Nadal diehards. Debates like these are ingrained in the culture of athletics, but TV fans have their own version of this sparring match.

Tony Soprano from The Sopranos and Walter White from Breaking Bad are the two characters who still send shockwaves through every drama in the 21st century. These men were the perfect mix of good and evil. They navigated family life and the criminal underworld with cunning intelligence and ruthless risk-taking. Every show with morally gray characters at the center owes its storyboard to Walter and Tony, but which character deserves the antihero crown? This is Tony Soprano vs. Walter White for all the marbles.
Who was the more complex character?

Smoking a pipe has become a lost art, and these days, most people who engage in pipe smoking do so to achieve a sense of nostalgia. Perhaps your grandfather enjoyed a puff now and again paired with a good stiff whiskey, or maybe your goal is to emulate a pipe-smoking artist.

I know that I enjoy a good puff on a pipe now and then, and knowing the right way to enjoy a pipe has made the experience much more pleasurable for for me. Whatever the case, if you intend to take up the time-honored tradition of unwinding with a pipe like me, you should learn how to smoke a pipe the right way. And smoking a pipe is very different than smoking a cigar (except you shouldn't be inhaling either).
