A Simba Mattress to Finish the Chateau #Ad

Music by: Joakim Karud

Full disclosure if you missed it above and in the video: Simba sent me the mattress I received in this video for free in exchange for a minimum of 2min of coverage of the brand - I also get a referral fee if you purchase anything from them through the link I provide (so go for it!).

My name is Jay Swanson - I'm an American writer living in Paris on an artist visa and hoping to make the city of light my home base - at least for the foreseeable future. I write science-fiction and fantasy, vlog daily, and love pizza a little too much.

Links below to Amazon are affiliate links - meaning if you click through them and buy something, I'll get some pennies. Thanks! (The FTC wants me to tell you that up front)

FAQ:
How long have you lived in France? On and off for over two years.

What do you miss most about ho- NACHOS

Where are you from originally? - Pullman, Washington - a small university/agricultural town near Idaho (and yes, the potatoes are amazing).

What do you edit with? - Adobe Premiere - it's pretty much all I've ever used since high school.

Aren't you ever freaked out by leaving your camera behind to film yourself? - Yep. But not too badly - I tend to be careful when I do.

Do you make money off YouTube? - Ha, no. I wish. It took me over 500 videos to make my first $100 off adsense. I think it will slowly change, but VERY slowly.

I wasn't aware of how emotionally invested I was in this Chateau accomplishment until I "awwwwed!" at my screen like I'd just watched a cat video...

If you want to open champagne safely you hold the cork and twist the bottle. The effervesce will gradually force out the cork. The reason you don't twist the cork is because every time you twist you have to release your grip to re-grab the cork to continue to twist and each time you do that, it can be the moment when the cork shoots free. Just remember....hold the cork/twist the bottle. And the towel over the cork is always a good idea.

I lofted for quite awhile, I loved it, I miss it

Can't wait hear how much more your sleep, comfort, and restfulness (is there such a word?)) improves with the use of the SIMBA. So excited and happy for your chateau completion. I'm waiting to see the art and rug addition. Congrats.

This post made me smile seeing how happy you looked opening the box... Like Christmas time! Probably my most favorite vlog.

It’s so cool to recognize a street you are on. We spent a week at that Crowne plaza republique. And went to that very Coffee shop

[kaleidoscopeallie]

So much YAY in one video. You only have the most pillows in Paris though because I haven't gotten there yet. :D Hello, my name is Allison and I'm a pillowholic. CHEERS to goals reached and to the glory of proper sleep. ENJOY!
