your supplements. Most vitamin supplements contain fillers and other things you do not need. That’s why The Patch Brand puts high quality nutrient blends on to a skin patch that gives sustained benefits throughout the day or night. My favorite in the line are the Sleep Patches. It’s a blend of Valerian Root, Passionflower, Hops, Vitamin B2, Magnesium Citrate, and Melatonin. These things work! I’ve tried many over the counter sleep solutions and had yet to find one that worked for me. This Sleep Patch helped me fall asleep faster and most importantly stay asleep. So get with The Patch Brand, and peel, stick, and repeat…

and my Apple Cider Vinegar. I’m so happy about this new find, called Squeeze Dried! I’ve tried for years to take ACV in the morning for it’s health benefits. No matter how much water I’d add to a tablespoon- it made me nauseas. I hated the taste, and after taste. Now I’m able to take it and it tastes good. This is thanks to Squeeze Dried. They created a super powered ACV powder you just add water to and drink. It includes lemon, cayenne, cinnamon, ginger, and probiotics. Most importantly they include the mother. They have other superfood powders that taste awesome too. So get with Squeeze Dried, and take care of your health, and taste buds….

clear and calm skin. It’s easy thanks to Flora + Bast. They are “founded on the belief that skincare and beauty is a lifestyle decision, and that natural products designed, preserved and delivered properly outperform any synthetic product.” Why all the hype about cannabis? Cannabinoids balance over and under production of oil. Cannabinoids regulate apoptosis (programmed cell death) to ensure that skin cells die if and when they are not functioning optimally, allowing new cells to take their place. At night I’ve been using their Age Adapting Facial Serum and Age Adapting Sleep Tincture. The serum balances your endocannabinoid system. So your skin can repair itself naturally. It is rich in phytocannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, and fatty acids. The formula is free of water, preservatives, and fillers. The Sleep Tincture works by regulating sleep-wake cycles.  When taken before bed, you should fall asleep faster with greater ease, stay asleep longer, and wake up more refreshed. I have noticed these benefits myself. You know you already love Cannabis, now let it into your skincare routine…

well I’m not, but Restful Sleep from Healthy Directions will. It is an all natural supplement to calm your mind, promote a full nights rest, nourish chi to bring harmony to the body, and wake up refreshed. The creator of this supplement is Dr Yan Ping Xu, a certified practitioner of Oriental medicine and board certified herbalist. He believes the spleen is the key to a healthy sleep. “in traditional Chinese Medicine, it’s believed that when you’re having trouble sleeping, it’s your spleen’s chi that is off balance. The ancient herbal blend that the Chinese have been relying on for thousands of years to remedy sleep problems by rebalancing chi is called Yi-Fang. Restful Sleep’s formula uses the same exact Chinese herbs in Yi-Fang that have been used for over 2,000 years! And to make sure the herbs are pure and top quality, Dr. Xu personally selects each herb on her yearly trips to China, then makes sure each herb is processed, purified, and sterilized to remove any toxins—all done right here in the U.S.A.” She’s also included ancient herbs to rebalance your spleen chi, and modern-day nutrients to help prepare your body to accept the herbs. This includes calcium, magnesium, and potassium. My readers get 20% off with code SAVEREST (exp12/31/15). So try Restful Sleep, and have sweet dreams….
