I relate so much with what you wrote. I, as well, have backed away from my phone and embraced alarm clocks again. I had a sunrise alarm clock on Christmas wishlist and it has totally changed the game for me. I wake up more peaceful versus the dread I get from auto-doomscrolling first thing in the morning.

And my sentiments exactly on Babygirl. I think if the roles were reversed in the film (a male high powered CEO pursuing a young woman intern) I doubt it would’ve had the same reception. It just feels icky when power dynamics are involved. I didn’t feel anything for Nichole Kidman’s character not feeling satisfied with her home life to pursue someone young at work lol 😒

I'm glad you relate, seems like we're not the only ones! I've had numerous people contact me saying they're in the market for an alarm clock. It's strange to think how the iPhone has rendered the design of so many items redundant.

Babygirl would have worked better as a 6 part Netflix show to rival the Harlan Coben series 🙊
