Jessica Hanley's ideal sunday; an interview with Piglet In Bed's CEO

sundays are our favourite, and we love how everyone does them differently.

we asked Jessica Hanley, CEO of lust-worthy linen brand Piglet in Bed, what her ideal sunday would look like.

ideally i'd be waking up every sunday...

somewhere remote in the woods. we get to do this quite a lot now we’re living in the midwest of the US, and we’ve explored lots of beautiful spots to really get lost in nature across Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin.

i would like to get up...

quite late. right now my husband Patrick and i are living in Illinois, so during the week i wake up horribly early, usually around 3 or 4am so i can maximise my time with my team in the UK. so on the weekends i sleep longer and leave my phone downstairs to give myself a proper break.

while still in bed i would indulge in...

something to calm me down rather than pep me up. i am more likely to have a ginger or chamomile tea in bed than a coffee.

what i miss about sundays in the UK is...

strolling around Portobello and going for long walks in the country which end in a pub roast. good, rural places to eat where you can also bring the dog might be what i miss the most about the UK!

on sundays i choose to wear...

comfy loungewear and wellies! i have no idea what i’ll do when the time comes to start going places where I need to look smart. those clothes seem to have all spontaneously combusted since 2020.

i like to wind down by...

watching countryfile. there are few things that make me happier than curling up on the sofa in my PJs to watch travel shows. i think watching British TV is even more nurturing now i'm far from home. i also love to light a Piglet in Bed candle to really switch my brain into relaxation mode.

i try not to prepare for the following week as the weeks are intense so i try to take sundays to really unwind.
