You all know how much I love beauty products! I am all about self-care! Yes, I am fighting the aging process the best I that I can! As you know, the earlier and younger you can start the better! I am going to be sharing so much more about self-care with you this coming year!

When I come to self-care, I look for products that easy to use and effective – isn’t that what we all want? So, when I was contacted by VIIcode to try out their O2M Oxygen Eye Mask for Dark Circles, I jumped at the opportunity!

The VIIcode Eye Masks are the perfect addition to any anti-aging skincare routine and literally make you look like you’ve slept hours even when you haven’t. Say goodbye to tired eyes, dark circles, and fine lines!

VIIcode is an 8-hour overnight treatment that uses a cool gel to conform to the shape around your eye, infiltrating the entire area in soothing botanical extracts as well as targeting specific issues like fine lines and dark circles. That means it works as you sleep to help you appear instantly more awake in the morning!

VII code Eye Mask for Dark Circles offers incredible defense against all of the factors that cause concern around the eye area as stated on their website:

relief from tired eyes or lifestyle factors
increased blood flow and lymphatic circulation
boosted oxygen intake to combat wrinkles and over-pigmentation
plumped smooth skin

Once I got them on they did not budge, but they really worked their magic! I woke up feeling like my eyes appeared brighter, well hydrated, which indeed made my fine lines appear less pronounced. I really loved the ways my eyes looked in the morning!

Having used these for a few weeks, I think that these eye masks would be a great addition to my current skincare self-care routine.

DoTERRA Essential oils

doTERRA oils and products can support a healthy lifestyle. Perhaps you’re a little nervous to use oils in your home; maybe you’re not sure if they’re entirely safe for everyone. doTERRA’s products can be a wonderful addition to the family. We enjoy them daily in our house. If these products are used with care and common sense, you can safely reap all the benefits they have to offer.

Essential oils are not novel. While it may seem like essential oils are just the latest and greatest thing, they’ve actually been used by humans for millennia. Essential oils contain constituents that will be recognized by our body systems and handled appropriately.

Dilute. Kids’ skin is different from adult skin; it’s thinner and generally more sensitive. Even though most oils tend to be non-irritating on the skin (especially on the bottom of the feet, where the skin is thickest), it’s a great idea to dilute essential oil in a good carrier oil before applying to children. You’ll still get the same benefits of the essential oil—you’re just adding extra moisture and pampering delicate child skin. The doTERRA Touch products are great for this, by the way. They’re our favorites!

Diffuse. Aromatherapy is an excellent way to enjoy the benefits of essential oil without the worry of skin reactions. Inhaled oils have long been studied for their ability to enhance feelings of relaxation, encouragement, excitement, focus, and well-being. Additionally, diffused oils may support a healthier indoor environment.

Be informed. doTERRA has mountains of information about safe use of essential oils on their websites. There’s an entire team of support staff who answer questions about essential oils and products.

Here are some of the favorite doTERRA products in our house, and ways they can be used in your family.

1. doTERRA Touch^®. These products are awesome because they come pre-diluted. Young skin is different from adult skin—it’s thinner, more delicate, and generally more sensitive. It’s a great idea to dilute any essential oils before applying them to children, and this kit takes the mess out of dilution.

2. doTERRA OnGuard^® products. We love all the products containing doTERRA OnGuard, and they are very kid-friendly. The toothpaste is wonderful. My kids enjoy the taste and I enjoy that it’s not full of chemicals that even I can’t pronounce. The cleaner concentrate makes the bathroom fresh and I don’t have to worry about toxic residue. And, of course, we diffuse doTERRA OnGuard like crazy during the winter months.

3. doTERRA Balance^® and doTERRA Serenity^®. These blends have done wonders for our family. A nice massage with these oils helped everyone feel relaxed and grounded in their surroundings. We often return to these blends when the stresses of life have everyone worked up.

4. Citrus oils. We diffuse oils every day, and the citrus oils are one of my favorite. They are so uplifting and energizing—perfect for the dreary winter days when no one feels like rolling out of bed. It’s a natural way to chase off the post-holiday blues. Our favorites are Wild Orange, Lemon, and Grapefruit.

5. Correct-X^®. We always have this product on hand during our outdoor adventures; it’s great to have something natural and effective, yet gentle and non-irritating, for sensitive young skin.

Yes, we live doTERRA at my house. We are learning to be cognizant of our health while actively looking for natural ways to support well-being. I love it!

Shhh Silk Pillowcases & Eye Mask

I was recently on a trip and in the airline magazine I read about Shhh Silk. I was intrigued and knew this would be a great product to have when you travel.

I was lucky to try out Shhh Silk. They provide a range of luxurious silk pillowcases, travel pillows, eye masks, sleep caps and silk filled pillows. So why silk? Well, switching to silk is actually beneficial for our skin!

What are the benefits?

Your skin feels more hydrated. Unlike cotton (which actually draws out moisture from your skin), which in turn leaves bed creases on your face; a silk pillowcase naturally hydrates your skin while you are sleeping. Which in turn reduces fine lines and wrinkles.
The eye mask keeps your face cooler mid-sleep (which prevents breakouts).
It allows your body to release anti-aging melatonin with ease (the silk pillowcases especially encourage this).
It’s also naturally hypoallergic, so all you beauties with sensitive skin can rest easy.
Oh and when you sleep on silk, did you know that it has benefits for your hair too? It actually helps with split ends! When you sleep on cotton pillowcases, the friction between your hair and the cotton creates split ends. When you sleep on silk, friction is reduced!

Eye Mask

The packaging was GREAT! It was oozing luxury, and I think anyone who got this as a gift or for themselves would be super happy with it.
The eye mask itself is so so so soft.
It’s nicely oversized, so it blocks out all the light.
I love the variety of colors

Silk Pillowcases

I popped my very first pair of Shhh Silk pillowcases on my pillows. It’s tropical, for starters. It’s silk. It’s supposed to reduce the number of wrinkles I wake up with.

I put my head down and instantly I felt comfortable despite the fact that I need new pillows. They’re not slippery at all. I didn’t get sweaty. I didn’t stick to them, and they didn’t stick to me. I got along well with my silk pillowcases and got a great night’s sleep.

I will defiantly buy these as gifts for my friends, as they are so luxurious and come in fantastic packaging.

Regardless of whether you’re at home in bed or stuck in discomfort on a plane, the Tropical Leaf Collection will block out all surroundings and have you dreaming of exotic holidays in the sun, as if you’re actually there.
