Top 2 products to get a good night sleep

Getting a good night’s sleep is something that I haven’t had since the kids have been born! I’m sure many of you out there with kids can relate!

 I wanted to share my top two products to help you get the best sleep possible. They are both Magnesium products, but most of all they have worked wonders for me. Did you know that a large percentage of the population is magnesium deficient? Magnesium absorption through the skin is the very best way to increase your magnesium levels in a safe way! Always consult your Dr. prior to use. 

The first one is Ativo Skincare's rapid transdermal magnesium oil can help with lack of sleep, muscle cramps, anxiety, low energy, and bone health. Simply spray all over the body and rub in!

This magnesium oil spray is ultra-pure and highly potent for a rapid transdermal absorption. I spray up to 10 sprays on any sore muscles and aches that the day has brought on and I swear I get the best sleep and wake up with no aches! The best part it’s Cruelty free, vegan and all natural. 

My second must have is Naturals Calm Magnesium Nitrate Powder. The citric acid combines with magnesium carbonate to create magnesium citrate, one of the most absorbable forms of magnesium available.

During the day, magnesium can help you to feel a steady calm energy. In the evening, magnesium helps activate melatonin, so you can get a deep and restful sleep when you need it. I’m telling you that these two products have changed my night time routine for the better! 

If you want to take it one step further they have a Kids version and it works wonders to settle the kids down and help them have a good night’s sleep ! 

I hope all this inf is helpful to you as it is for me! SWEET DREAMS!

My #1 detergent for Eczema

Why you need to use Tide Free & Gentle

Have you tried Tide Free & Gentle Laundry Detergent ?

I recently came across it while at the hospital. At BC Children’s in the NICU, they have laundry machines you can use as a family. It such an amazing place! They have it for parents to use on children’s laundry. 

As a mamma of 3 I am always looking for a detergent that will keep our clothes super clean and our family's skin safe. Tide Free & Gentle is a hypoallergenic laundry detergent that is free of dyes and perfumes. 

Detergents usually contain more than one type of surfactant to remove certain types of soils and clean different types of fabrics. Other ingredients in laundry detergent can include fluorescent whitening agents (to help maintain whiteness or brightness) and enzymes (to help break down complex soils such as blood and grass).
Most detergents also contain dyes and perfumes. Tide Free & Gentle does not! 

What I loved the most is that it didn’t cause any flair ups with Gianluca’s eczema! Usually I have to wash everything separately but now I can throw everything together and not worry about it!  

His skin has not had any flair ups since we switched over. I have noticed that it’s actually calmed down a lot!  

The best part is that you can find it at any local grocery’s store and it’s safe! 

I definitely recommend it to any one with young children who need something tough enough for stains but gentle enough for skin!

Reviva Skincare Review

I received this Beautiful skincare from Reviva Labs a week ago, and I must say that I’m loving it!

It’s a full Brightening system that comes with a Facial cleanser, 2 day creams 2 night creams one is for spot treatment the other for every day an a serum.

These products are made to improve skin tone and clarity. They use ingredients such as, Kojic Acid, Alpha Arbutin, and Bearberry. They add antioxidants and emollients which benefit overall skin health and help to combat future skin discoloration or spotting.

Each product can be used alone; but when used with other brightening products results are a lot quicker!

What I love most about the company is that the ingredients are Pure, Safe, Natural and not tested on Animals!

So if you have some dark spots or if you want to brighten your complexion I would totally recommend these products!

Quick Beauty Tips

Now that my time is limited, I needed to find some quick products that are easy to use but make an impact. 

My morning routine is not like it used to be. Remember when you would take hours in the shower, shaving, hair mask, those days are gone for me.....for now!  

The first thing I did is I decided to get  my lashes done so that I would feel like I didn’t have to wear any make up but was some what “dressed up”  personally I LOVE having lashes done for that reason I literally wake up and go!

So first I use the Benifit Watt’s Up highlighter. I put this on the bridge of my nose and on my cheek bones rite below the eye.  This adds a slight glow to the skin and brightness.

I then use NYX blush in Pink the town. I brush  that on the apples of my cheeks. I like to choose a brighter blush for the summer. 

The Energy revitalizing remedy from Saje has become my daily perfume. It helps boost energy and I apply a small amount to my wrists so that when I need a quick boost it’s there! 

The red lipstick in KHAIR GG23 Maybelline by Gigi Hadid, well that stays in my purse just in case I want to feel even more dressed up, or if we spontaneously decide to go out I have something to dress up my look. 

Last but not least, Pink Mask by Boscia is a peeling brightening mask that I do at night twice a week while I pump. It stays on for 30 minutes and it peels off clean. Definitely leaves the skin glowing!  

I hope this helps you day to day. It doesn’t have to be complicated, you just need a few favourites to make you feel your best.
