Rest and Destress
🛏️Favorite Anti-Aging Pillow:
I purchased an Envy pillow in February and it is one of the best purchases I have made for my sleep. I kept waking up with neck pain and sleep lines so I began to research pillows to prevent sleep wrinkles. I needed the pillow to be safe but also one that would support side sleeping. I don’t leave home without it now. It is amazing and I love the silk pillow case which benefits both your hair and skin. It is made from pure Natural latex, supports your neck and spine, off-loads pressure from your TMJ and prevents sleep wrinkles with its patented “OFF-Your-Face design”. I am allergic to latex and this has still been safe for me to use. If you have concerns you can read about it on their website under FAQs but it is made from Dunlop latex which is then heated to 220 degrees. This process eliminates any reaction-related proteins or residues.
😴Favorite Non-Toxic Mattress Pad:
Calling all college and camper mommas…I have a great mattress topper option for you! I discovered this brand when I was looking for mattress toppers for the very uncomfortable bunk beds at family camp last summer. I was shocked at how well my husband and I slept! My girls are using them for sleep away camp so we will continue to get use out of them for years to come. I recently had a friend reach out asking for recommendations for her daughter that is headed off to college. She noticed the topper they purchased in the past had a strong odor. This topper is a CertiPUR-US Certified memory foam mattress topper and has passed the CertiPUR-US test, which means the mattress topper has passed strict tests and meets the standards for smell, material, performance and durability. I highly recommend it and we might even get one for our King Bed at home. The materials used in bedding and mattresses are really important to consider and whenever possible, I would opt for safer brands for your family.
🤩Favorite Supplement:
I have been blown away by the science of this product. Y’all know I love a good research study and this product proven by science to slow aging at the cellular level. It comes in 3 different forms. I prefer the liquid gels and my husband prefers the gummies. The liquid version makes a great mocktail! Vivix is formulated to slow aging at the cellular level by targeting the key factors that cause it. It is derived from the world’s most potent source of polyphenols made from the muscadine grape. I love this detail because it makes me think of my great grandmother. She had muscadine grape vines in her back yard and we loved to pick them when we would visit her house in Branford. Perhaps that is one of the reasons she and my grandmother lived into their 90s.
This product has been proven to protect DNA from damage, blunt inflammatory response, reduce the formation of damaging advanced glycation end products, protect against oxidative stress and neutralize free radicals, boost cellular energy production, and slows telomere shortening. I truly believe if you take one supplement this should be the one you choose. It is backed by over 27 global patents is part of Shaklee’s groundbreaking 10 year Landmark Study. If I have completely lost you with my nerdiness just trust me on this one. In the past I haven’t been consistent with supplements but after I read the science on these, I don’t miss a day!🍇
