West Status built the road map discovering reputable ways to emit authenticity in the chaos. We share ways to purely be your elite self, your higher status. 

On Friday mornings, we just expose; spilling the tea all over the place.

ONE. Our Favorite Pajama Set Lately

We stumbled upon these pajama sets. We're essentially wearing these all day until someone insists we take them off. The Boyfriend set and the Quince set, are both made from premium-quality cotton with noteworthy comfort.

These unisex boxers also make for the perfect compliment to have the best Saturday morning ever. 

TWO. Gifts for Someone Who Loves to Travel

World travelers? Our customizable Pushpin World Map has been proudly displayed (flaunted) for years. It not only encourages the practice of The Art of Conversation when hosting but also serves as a memorable gift.

If you're not a traveler but still want the world experience, Try The World is always an unforgettable option too.

THREE. This Year's Vision Board

We're huge fans of vision boards, obviously evident from our dedicated series on the topic. There's something incredibly powerful about having your dreams, wishes, and goals laid out visually before you. It makes them feel tangible and achievable. 

However, we realized we missed a crucial aspect: how to actually create one. So, here we are... Elizabeth will walk you through a step-by-step guide on making a vision board, essentially doing our job for us. 

FOUR. Indoor Gardening Idea

What a bizarre concept being able to grow your salad from a highrise apartment, but talk about fucking cool. Imagine having the most convenient kitchen garden—one that handles all the hard work for you.

These Multi-Herb Grow lights are specifically crafted to promote rapid growth and superb flavor, effortlessly simulating the natural daylight cycle.

Within four weeks, you'll be able to start harvesting and proudly embrace the title of farmer you've always dreamed of.

FIVE. Best Press-On Nails

Going to the nail salon is our worst nightmare. It's not that we don't enjoy the manicures – who doesn't love tidy cuticles, a soothing hand massage, and a fresh, glossy polish?

That's precisely why I find myself returning to the nail salon, lured in by the promise of pampering – until I'm seated in the chair, regretting my choice of nail polish. By then, it's too late to escape. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately), we no longer have the time to spend hours at the nail salon.

The thought of all the productive things we could be doing with that time, not to mention the money spent, is unbearable.

As for us, our focus in 2024 is on time management, budgeting, and preserving our sanity. As for the experts, short nails are trendy this year. So instead of spending hours regretting our decision to even sit down, let's explore some alternatives - all tested and tried.

Our top press on nail recommendations

1. Static Nails - for everyday use, reusable, press-on for over 14 days

2. Chill Tips - for everyday use and design, press on for over 21 days

SIX. How to Start Pilates for Beginners at Home

We have mastered Pilates (for beginners) at home. We love that Pilates offers benefits beyond the studio, helping to elongate and strengthen muscles while delivering a full body workout every single time.

While daily walks are great for cardio, combining them with this low-impact exercise enhances toning and strength-building, boosting our confidence both in the mirror and in all aspects of life. 

There's a wealth of online resources, including video tutorials and apps, that can guide your practice. Choose instructors and platforms that align with your style and comfort level, and explore a variety of workouts to keep things fresh and exciting. Aim for 10-15 minutes of Pilates exercises every day or every other day.

Setting achievable goals is essential to ensure you stay motivated and don't feel overwhelmed.

SEVEN. A Simple Skincare Routine for Men

OH MAN!

We're absolutely here for it when our partner, male friend, or significant other drops the bombshell statement like, "Maybe I should start a skincare routine," or sneakily begins borrowing our skincare products before bedtime. It's about time they caught on!

We'll delve into this topic thoroughly soon, but in the meantime, share this with them. It's crucial not to overwhelm and begin with the fundamentals.

Drink your tea, and enjoy the weekend.
