Joy Moy took a chance on Tik Tok to save her acupuncture and integrative medicine practice during the pandemic. Her clinic shut down for months.  She was about to launch a brand of organic products, Joy Moy Skincare, which she had been formulating for years then Covid-19 hit.

Before the pandemic, her strategy was getting referrals from doctors and word of mouth. Last April, her then 11-year-old daughter, Jovana suggested she get on TikTok. “I scoffed, again, since she had mentioned in 2019 that I should get on TikTok to make educational videos about acupuncture and TCM [traditional Chinese medicine]. I assumed TikTok was an app for teens and 20-year-olds showing off their dance skills.”

She watched all kinds of videos and despite her reservations, she started creating short-form videos talking about  the benefits of traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture. Turns out it was a great move. Her skincare line took off. The line includes two great products.

Essential BioBotanical™ Face Elixir aids in bringing back a radiant glow with Coconut Monoi, a luxurious, non-greasy formula containing Tahitian gardenias for superior skin-protecting properties with a naturally divine scent.

Ultimate BioBotanical™ Face Elixir aids in bringing back a radiant glow with Black Cumin Seed – known as “The Miracle Seed” – which revitalizes the appearance of tired, dull skin, particularly when applied prior to vital overnight skin cell regeneration.

These are perfect products to add to your skincare routine.

I love cozy clothes. The first thing I do when I get home from work, that is before Covid-19, I would change into my comfy clothes.

This is why I was so interested in the Heat Holders line of products. In the winter they have cozy socks to keep you warm and in the summer they have loungewear to keep you cool. The company was founded in 1947 in England. They’ve since expanded to North America and are based out of Oakville, Ontario, Canada. The current Heat Holders product was created in 2008. Heat Holders started off by creating the world’s warmest socks but over time the demand for the product pushed them to expand their line. Their loungewear is made of the softest fabric and is ideal for sleeping in or just lounging around. Heat Holders loungewear is versatile clothing that makes the perfect addition for ultimate relaxation.

The T-Shirt dress is so soft and comfortable. It has short sleeves. It is made from a soft, breathable, moisture wick jersey knit. The weather has been very warm in the South, so I have been wearing it for the past couple of days to stay comfortable and cool.

I am obsessed with these pieces. They are all soft and super lightweight.

If you are looking to keep cool in the summer and warm and cozy in the winter then you need to check out Heat Holders. They have a great range of products and something for everyone.

 

ICEE Slushie Machine

This summer our outdoor activities got a little boost with the ICEE Slushie Making Machine. This product looks and operates just like the ones you see in the stores. It was created by the brand ISCREAM.

Iscream (a division of Mines Press Inc) is a tween and teen lifestyle brand that develops fun, fashion-forward items for kids of all ages to call their own. With an extensive product line, including pillows, sleeping bags, luggage, apparel lights, and accessories.

They offer creative designs, patterns, and graphics to make everyday products POP.  They are known for the perfect blend of colorful fun, cute designs, and cozy comfort.

Pour yourself the coldest drink in town, made right at home in your own slushie machine. Only 4 ingredients are needed: water, ice, ice flavoring syrup and salt and you have the perfect slushie.  The days have really hot here so this is the perfect way to get a cool drink. You can choose between Blue Raspberry, Cherry, Cola, and Purple Grape.

With this at-home machine is that kids can actually learn about the science behind creating the summertime treat. One of the most important steps in the creation process is putting ice and, salt into a canister. This canister spins around on the inside and the water mixture spins around outside of it. Simply put, if the ice melts from warm air, it too gets warmer. If it melts due to salt, that actually pushes down the water’s freezing point, making it colder (Write that down and tell the kids!). The freezing mixture makes the water and syrup combo colder to the point where it’s icy cold yet still drinkable.

It takes about 15-25 minutes for this combo to occur, depending on how warm the room you’re using it in is. If you are mixin’ up your slushies outside in the hot sun it could take up to 40 minutes. When the mixture starts forming peaks, it’s reached the perfect consistency. At that point, you can turn on dispensing mode and pour out that refreshing beverage! It makes a little more than two large glassfuls and you’ll need to wait about 15 minutes before creating the next round.

In the Fall, the brand will release make your own push-pop, a slushie machine, and a milkshake maker.
