Welcome to my YouTube channel, my name is Alisha
I have been incredibly fortunate to work with so many amazing companies, I will never take that for granted. Unboxing this big box from Kitsch made me giddy, even my voice went up an octave higher, and I felt so very special unboxing it.
I really do love what they are doing at Kitsch every single product you touch is so well made, you can see the love and care that has gone into each design. They aren’t the cheapest company but sometimes we all deserve a treat and that’s what every item they sent me feels like.
Even while writing this my head is on a Kitsch Satin Pillowcase and my weighted eye mask is in the bedside drawer beside me.
I’m trying to make big changes like establishing a better sleep routine in the hope that it will have a positive effect on my health, my beautiful satin pillowcases and my weighted sleep mask are a big part of that along with cutting out sugary drinks after I take my night medicines. OK, that last one isn’t going as well as I would like but it will, I’m determined to make it work.

💤 Sleep Essentials That Actually Help
Even as I’m typing this, my head is resting on a Kitsch satin pillowcase, and my weighted eye mask is right next to me in the drawer. These small things have become part of my gentle night routine, alongside trying (and sometimes failing 😅) to ditch sugary drinks after my meds. But hey, progress not perfection, right?
Why I love Kitsch:
Their satin pillowcases help keep my hair smooth and my skin cool.
Their weighted eye mask helps signal to my brain it’s time to wind down.
Every product feels like a treat – and I never treat myself.
🧠 Chronic Illness & Small Wins
Filming this video was a labour of love. It took me several days to complete because Myalgic Encephalomyelitis leaves me so fatigued, even speaking can feel like running a marathon. You’ll notice my speech slows or I lisp slightly – that’s the reality of chronic illness. But I kept going. I wore the same shirt to keep the clips consistent, but editing still gave it away. 🤭
But you know what? I’m proud of it. It’s real. It’s me.
💇♀️ The Hair Claw Clip That Actually Holds Thick Hair
One of the biggest surprises in this box was the Kitsch hair claw clip – it finally holds all of my long, dark, thick hair in place. If you know, you know!
I’ve spent years hunting for one that doesn’t slip or fall. With M.E., I can’t spend energy brushing or styling. I need something I can twist and clip with minimal movement, and this clip works.
For those of us with limited strength or mobility, every tiny win matters – like being able to put your hair up in 5 seconds without pain.
💬 Let’s Talk: Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (M.E./CFS)
This illness isn’t just tiredness. Every movement costs me energy and pain. Even things you take for granted – lifting an arm, brushing your hair, chewing food – have become hurdles.
