How much do you love your essential oils? If you are like me you love using oils. Everyone has their preferred way to use oils. Many rely on them for healing, some may use them to make household cleaners and beauty products and my preferred usage is to fill my home with pleasant aromas (I’m a Mom of boys, so….)
Gurunanda has many essential oils and diffusers and now they have some portable diffusers so you’re oils can leave you pleasant aroma wherever you go. The Gurunanda Ultrasonic Essential OIl Diffuser for the Car is more than just a unit that can fit in your car’s cup holder. It comes with a USB cord as well as a plug for the cigarette lighter unit of your car.
I see this essential oil diffuser as useful in a hotel room, in the RV and even at your personal work space. I have USB ports on my laptop so when traveling or at my home office I can plug in right near me and burn some lavender or peppermint if I have a headache or stomach aches. It has the ultrasonic mist so it is great for healing.
More Features include:
Water Capacity: 55 ml
No wick required
Overheating protection.
Auto shut off when water is low
Compatible with most laptops or USB wall/car outlets, cable included
ETL certified
Modes of Operation
Continuous mode – Mist lasts up to 4 hours.
Intermittent mode – Mist lasts up to 8 hours.
While visiting Gurunanda to learn more, see their new Essential Oils Roll Ons! I actually own a few roll ons and the Gurunanda Jasmine Kiss is by far my favorite scent. Every time my eye catches the bottle even if I’m just at home with no plans, I stop to open it and swipe my wrists or neck to just have the scent near me.
I have partnered with Pzizz for this feature. Opinions are my own
When you write and try products for a living to help readers find products to live happier, healthier and more active lives, I sometimes come across something so genius I now have it incorporated into my daily life and don’t know what I did before using it. For me lately, it is the Pzizz App. I have been pitched and even tried many sleep products and this one is my nightly savior. Let me explain more so you can get better sleep just like I do now and save too with a promo code!
The Pzizz app is not only for your nightly sleep. There are 2 other modes, nap and focus. So this is truly meant to relax your mind and allow you to settle down a bit even during the day. If you are like me, you crave to rest then the moment you settle in your mind refuses to shut off. I used to give myself the excuse that I do my best thinking at night, but at what expense? It was a loss of precious sleep. The healthiest thing anyone can do, no matter your age or abilities is get proper sleep.
Sleep is more than counting the hours your eyes are closed. Sleep means deep, non-interruptive and prolonged rest and if you function on naps they need to be short and so effective and deep as well or you just want to keep sleeping through your day. Pzizz uses a combination of music, voiceover and sound effects in a sort of hypnotic way that is in a rhythm allowing your body to use the play as a daily ritual to train for falling asleep fast and allow you to wake up refreshed.
There are 2 ways to use this app. The Classic ‘FREE’ version gives you a simple ‘Dreamscape’ that plays a few variations for you each night in a soothing male voice. It gives you a classic version without options to choose sounds or even allow for the female voice playover. However, if free is all you can do you WILL still benefit from the app.
However, Premium (about $9.99/month or $99.99 a year OR Free for 7 days and I’ll explain below) Pzizz is truly the way to go and don’t worry because I have a savings code below for you and it saves you a whopping 80%!! Paid sleep apps are still a lot cheaper than those artificial sleep aids you take with water and hope for the best each night.
With Pzizz Premium you have over 25 Dreamscapes to choose from. You always have the voiceover and in this version you can switch from male or female voice (I love the female voice myself), but the Dreamscape is the background sounds and music. I love the choices and the Saturn Set and Hills are 2 of my favorites.
You also get an alarm option where it will properly wake you up without loud alarm sounds. You can even set a sleep reminder if you need motivation to stay on a schedule. I recommend buying some sleep headphones unless your partner is OK with listening but there is something about hearing it right up to your ear versus full volume to reach around the room that is most soothing.
Remember! I promised you a code to save off of the paid version and it is below! First, here is the official pitch I was sent that really sparked my interest and then you can head over to the Pzizz blog for more sleep topics:
Over two billion people (yes, with a “b”) in the world are affected by insomnia, but Pzizz has helped over 1 million people get the sleep they need, including some of the world’s most influential people. J.K. Rowling called Pzizz the best thing she’s used for sleep by a mile. Former Indiana Pacers Center Roy Hibbert told Sports Illustrated Pzizz helped cure his insomnia and Ambien addiction. Even The Duke of York is a Pzizzer!
Pzizz Savings Code Instructions
Here is how to use your Pzizz code: GRADGIFT that will expire on June 30, 2018! You have to redeem the code on the Pzizz website at https://pzizz.com/buy/Once you redeem the code, you can use it on iOS, Android or both with the same email at app registration as you used on the site to redeem your code. This code saves you 80% off the yearly price option so that makes it only $19.99 a year or about $1.66 a month! How much do you spend a month on sleep aids that aren’t always cutting it? It makes a great gift for a grad heading off to college!
Still unsure about the Preferred version? If you download the Pzizz app right now on Apple or Android you can get Pzizz Preferred for 7 days free and no credit card is required. It will ask if you want it and you confirm and after 7 days it just reverts back to classic. I did this at first and it was very easy to try it for 7 days. However, I missed the features once it went back to free so I now am a Preferred user. I can tell you that I settle in each night and turn on my app and after a week I am not even 5 -10 minutes into the play and I am out! I used to have this 7pm drag everyday (or so I called it) and that is gone! You want to try this. You have nothing to lose! Start now— Pzizz on iOS and Android
I have partnered with Sunbeam for this feature. All opinions are my own
I have had my share of lower back pain and nothing ruins your day or a nights sleep like the aching of a back. My Dad suffers tremendously and is thanfully, a candidate now for laser surgery to help resolve some lower spine issues but it has gotten so bad he has resorted to a cane for assistance. There is no magic cure-all for back pain. However, you can find relieve with massage and even heat treatments. If you cannot get medical coverage for massages then it adds up! Even if you do have coverage they only allow so many visits and then you also have to find one that accepts you plan.
With Sunbeam Heated Back Wrap with Shiatsu Massage there is a next best option. Not only do you get the benefit of shiatsu massage motion but you get fantastic heat coverage and it is clinically proven to relieve pain. The degree of relief may vary depending on the person and issues, but it will be relief of a sort no doubt.
Now that there is massage and heat therapy you can do at home, you only have 2 hands so how will this work? That is easy! There is a waist strap so it stays in place! Here are all of the features of the Sunbeam Heated Back Wrap with Shiatsu Massage
3 heat settings (low to high)
4 Shiatsu Massaging Nodes
Hands-free use, stays in place with waist strap
Fits up to 54-inch waist (sizes women’s small through men’s XXL)
Convenient, long cord – 12 ft.
Pocket for easy cord storage
2-hour heat auto-off
20-minute massage auto-off
How much is a massage visit? It is pricey! This runs you $89.99! that’s it. Buy it once and use it as often as you need! With Father’s Day and Mother’s Day approaching I can’t think of a better gift for a parent suffering with lower back pain. Can you? How does it fit and feel? I LOVE it. I am so anxious for my dad to give this a try. The remote works great and you get instant massage and heat is fast! There is a clear difference in hat levels so if you need it high, you get that safe high heat delivered on the spot. The worst part about it is turning it off. Sometimes I wear it for heat only, sometimes for massage only. I get that choice! You ca find the Sunbeam Heated Back Wrap with Shiatsu Massage on the Sunbeam website or on Amazon too.
I have partnered with Teasane for this feature. Opinions are my own
Last month after a Doctor visit for migranes I began having we determined that the sudden drop in estrogen the week I am off the pill and menstruating was the likely cause. I left with a new birth control that is a 3 month cycle. I did my research and was ok switching and in my research I stumbled on a topic I never gave much thought too. Hormones and metabolism!
In learning how my exact hormones are working (or not) and focusing on more of a metabolic exercise and diet plan my chances of success losing some weight and gaining some muscle tone were high. Women are so different from men and we just can’t expect the same results exercising like a man and vice versa. Our individual bodies may be lacking too less of one nutrient and the weight may only respond when metabolically balanced. Hormones are a huge factor in weight loss. This changes my entire daily calendar of how I eat and workout. I wake up to a cup of herbal LOSE tea from the Teasane kit and a high protein breakfast to follow some time after. The best part, I only do 3 15-20 minute HIIT workouts a week.
I couldn’t have discovered the Teasane brand at a more perfect time. From beauty and wellness products, the infused or blended natural, herbal teas have so many benefits.
The LOSE tea kit is an herbal blend for weight loss support. I eat breakfast with my coworkers later in the morning so I wake up and have a cup of the tea to tide me over and it does work to keep me going until I eat my first meal of the day. It tastes great and I don’t think it needs a sweetener, but I do add Manuka Honey to mine for those benefits too. I just started this 28 day Teasane LOSE kit so I will give some social shout outs with results so keep checking into my channels if you follow.
If supplements and teas are not right for you, perhaps their Total Beauty line will help you out with skin health. The Facial Tea hydrates, nourishes and renews tired and aging skin. 4 main ingredients make up the cream. Calendula is a natural antiseptic and aids in healing rashes, mild skin irritations. Evening Primrose Oil will help your clogged pores. Rosemary is loaded with antioxidants for those dark spots and Chamomile is an essential oil for your complexion. All of this in 1 jar. Visit Teasane for more.
