Better Beauty Sleep with the Luxe Corala Weighted Blanket

October 28, 2019 · 6 Comments

Good sleep is vital for health, mental clarity, metabolism, and mood. The phrase “get your beauty sleep” is sound advice because our skin regenerates at night. But stress can make restful sleep elusive. Many of us are sleep deprived. So we’re excited about the Corala Weighted Blanket. It eases away stress and enables relaxed sleep.

The luxurious Corala set

Work. School. Deadlines. Family. Health. These can all cause stress. The Corala Weighted Blanket creates a soothing environment and a snugly feel. It uses natural gravity properties to help the brain and body relax and promote restful sleep and better sleep quality.

How Do Weighted Blankets Work?

Weighted blankets use gravity to comfortably swaddle you without feeling trapped or stuffy. This encourages relaxation and sleep. The weight of the blanket works through Deep-Touch Pressure (DTP) stimulation.

Deep-Touch Pressure (DTP) is light, non-painful pressure applied to relax the body. Like how a warm, comforting hug from a loved one feels or how a fussy baby feels calmer once swaddled. The weight of the blanket, when draped over the body, uses DTP for the same hug-like swaddled feeling.

Deep-Touch Pressure helps the body produce “feel-good” neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin. The release of serotonin within the brain helps to relieve insomnia.

WHY STRESS IMPACTS SLEEP

Research shows that stress makes the sympathetic nervous system work overtime. How can you tell if your sympathetic nervous system is working overtime? Instead of falling asleep, the mind races, worrying about problems or overthinking about the next day’s tasks. This alters circadian rhythms and causes more anxiety. No wonder restful sleep is elusive!

Corala Weighted Blanket

Functional Design Meets Luxury Aesthetics

The boxed set with duvets and blanket

This blanket set has unique features. It includes:

The Weighted Blanket

The Corala blanket measures 60″ wide by 80″ long and weighs twenty pounds. The color is Living Coral, the 2019 Pantone color of the year. Cheery, soothing and optimistic, it is versatile and suits many decor schemes.

My Corala Weighted Blanket Experience

I’ve been working on an important project deadline. There have been many late nights working at a computer right up until bedtime. I try to go to sleep, but I frequently linger awake, dwelling on my project, making mental notes for the next day’s work. It keeps me awake when I should be asleep. It is the perfect time to try the Corala Weighted Blanket.

First impressions, it is a sleek and slim blanket, not bulky. I find it comfortable against my skin and not at all scratchy. I like the feel of the blanket and both duvets.

Winding down for bed with a cup of tea and my Corala Blanket

It is hug-like! It is cradling and snugly without feeling stifling or claustrophobic. The beads are not at all noisy when the blanket is moved or while turning over. It fits atop a queen bed or for use to keep warm while reading or watching TV on the couch.

I love how quickly it helps me shift gears from working to relaxing. The weight is not too heavy, claustrophobic or at all stifling. I sleep comfortably and wake well-rested.

For Relaxing…

Sometimes we all need an evening off or a mental health break. The blanket is ideal for curling up on the couch, streaming Netflix and indulging in the snack of your choice. I found it restful, relaxing and enjoyable.

Streaming a movie while using the Corala Weighted Blanket is so relaxing

It is also a lovely addition to a guest bedroom to make guests feel warm, cozy and at home.

Better Beauty Sleep with the Sedona Weighted Blanket

October 26, 2019 · 11 Comments

Could you benefit from better beauty sleep? Sleep is important for mental clarity, emotional well-being, health, metabolism, and skin regeneration. But stress can make it difficult to sleep well. Many of us are sleep deprived. Fall asleep quickly and sleep soundly with the Sedona Weighted Blanket.

Relaxing while reading with my Sedona Weighted Blanket

WHY CHOOSE THE SEDONA WEIGHTED BLANKET

Weighted blankets are a very popular sleep accessory. If you are unsure if a weighted blanket is for you, the Sedona Weighted Blanket is a great one to try.

Sedona Weighted Blanket is luxurious and not bulky or heavy

The blanket does not feel too heavy or confining to the body. The 15-pound weighted blanket is optimal for someone under 150 pounds or anyone concerned that they would feel stifled under a heavy weighted blanket.

It also a good choice because it is exceptionally cozy. The soft blanket cover fabric does not require a duvet or additional cover. It is machine washable. And it is a very well made blanket.

Luxuriously soft on both sides it is warm and cozy

Sedona sews in their weighted glass pellets. This is an ingenious idea that keeps the weighted material in place. It does not make any noise when turning over or moving the blanket. The way the pellets are sewn in, you do not feel them directly. The blanket uses a seven layer system that is warm but not bulky.

Some weighted blankets in the past used weighting material that eroded in the wash. The Sedona blanket glass pellets are durable and withstand washing and daily use. The glass pellets are non-toxic.

The Sedona Weighted Blanket comes with a LIFETIME warranty.

The Sedona Weighted Blanket is rated Amazon’s Choice for “anxiety weighted blanket”

It is well made, cozy & feels luxurious.

The Sedona Weighted Blanket comes in a sturdy box with handle.

HOW THE SEDONA WEIGHTED BLANKET WORKS

The blanket uses gravity to lightly apply very gentle pressure to the body. This naturally prompts the body to produce the “feel-good” neurotransmitter serotonin and melatonin. Serotonin relieves insomnia and causes a calm state of relaxation. It also helps calm restless leg syndrome. Melatonin helps with natural sleep rhythms to make you sleepy without medications. It also decreases cortisol, the stress hormone that can make the mind “race” at night when trying to sleep.

WHO BENEFITS FROM A WEIGHTED BLANKET

Any adult who could reduce stress naturally and could enjoy better sleep. No matter the source of the stress, a weighted blanket can help.

A study tested a weighted blanket on persons reporting stress and sleep disturbances. “Data obtained on effectiveness reveal 33% demonstrated lowering in EDA when using the weighted blanket, 63% reported lower anxiety after use, and 78% preferred the weighted blanket as a calming modality.” [1]

Research shows weighted blankets have been helpful for those suffering with:

Insomnia
Stress
Restless Leg Syndrome
ADHD
Autism
PSTD

Weighted blankets are very useful for people who have disrupted circadian rhythms and unusual sleep patterns and such as college students, new moms, and night shift workers.

Weighted blankets are also very useful to relax when stressed during waking hours. The blanket is perfect for relaxing on the couch reading or watching a movie. The Sedona Weighted Blanket is an easy, effective way to promote self-care.

Sedona Weighted Blanket has a luxurious dual-sided micromink finish

DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION

The Sedona Weighted Blanket is luxurious, durable, well-made and cozy.

It features dual-sided, velvety soft micro mink fleece fabric. It comes in gray or red, twin or queen size. It features a squared cross stitch design. The stitching and trim have no loose threads, even after washing.

Large square stitched pattern on luxuriously soft surface lays smoothly on the bed

It is not bulky or cumbersome yet keeps one warm and toasty.

Both sides have a plush and luxurious feel with no stiffness

the luxurious blanket is not bulky but is so cozy, even on the seams and edges

MATERIALS

It uses non-toxic weighted glass pellets that are sewed into the blanket to keep the weights in place. There is no shifting or uneven weight. It doesn’t make noise while turning over or shifting.

MY EXPERIENCE WITH THE SEDONA WEIGHTED BLANKET

I don’t like the feel of heavy blankets on me, so I didn’t know if I would like the sensation of a weighted blanket. I was pleasantly surprised by how cozy the Sedona Weighted Blanket feels. I did not find the blanket too heavy to sleep under. It is not bulky at all. I expected to feel claustrophobic but I wasn’t aware of the weight at all. The soft micromink is cozy and warm, not scratchy at all.

It feels snuggly and hug-like. It sort of sinks in around me while I am drifting to sleep which keeps me warm on these New England chilly evenings. It is VERY relaxing. I LOVE using it while reading in my favorite chair or when I want a stress free stay at home Netflix movie night.

The Sedona Weighted Blanket is relaxing while streaming a movie or working on my laptop

I often work on my computer on papers or projects late into the evening until it is time to go to sleep. But it is often difficult to relax after working so late. I find using the blanket helps me switch gears and get into rest mode. It is even helpful to use the blanket for an hour or so before bed to start to wind down and relax.

Even folded, the Sedona Weighted blanket is not bulky or cumbersome

CONCLUSION

A luxurious, well-made, durable, machine-washable weighted blanket that is cozy and not too heavy. The sewn-in glass pellets do not shift and do not feel stiff or uncomfortable. The seven layer design is warm but not bulky. It has a lifetime warranty for peace of mind. It is a relaxing, luxurious blanket that helps the body produce serotonin. This promotes calmness and relaxing sleep patterns.

Better Beauty Sleep: NTBAY 100% BRUSHED Microfiber Pillowcases

September 29, 2019 · 18 Comments

The best skincare products in the world won’t work properly if your body is not getting the proper amount of restorative sleep. That is why on Style Chicks we have a Better Beauty Sleep series, with tips and products that we find help us to get a better night’s sleep.

You spend (hopefully) eight hours asleep. That is eight hours that your hair and skin are in contact with your pillowcase. It is also eight hours that your hair and skin can either be subjected to friction and irritation, or to gentle, soft comfort. We prefer the latter, which is why we love NTBAY 100% Brushed Microfiber Pillowcases.

WHY WE LIKE NTBAY 100% BRUSHED Microfiber Pillowcases:

NTBAY 100% BRUSHED Microfiber Pillowcases are soft and luxurious feeling against my skin and my hair easily glides over them, almost like a silk pillowcase. I don’t wake up with “pillow face” thanks to the soft microfiber. It is so gentle on skin!

I also don’t wake up with staticky or frizzy hair. I can style my hair at night and it is as smooth and glossy the next morning as it was when I went to bed!

These generously sized pillowcases are soft on skin and hair

Cozy enough for lounging in bed on a lazy Sunday

Other features of NTBAY 100% BRUSHED Microfiber Pillowcases:

They are made of 100% Microfiber
The package contains four Queen size pillowcases (20″x30″). The pillowcases are very well made, and the stitching looks like very expensive pillowcases.
They are breathable so you won’t get too hot at night!
They are wrinkle-resistant. In addition to looking nicer, wrinkle-resistant pillowcases are gentler on your skin and hair.
They are stain-resistant, which is great for nights that your skincare products accidentally get on your pillowcase.
They use an Environmentally-Friendly dyeing technique that is gentle on the skin. So you don’t have to worry about your skin getting irritated from harmful chemicals on your pillow!
Easy Care: Machine Wash Cold on the Gentle Cycle.
NTBAY 100% BRUSHED Microfiber Pillowcases are available in Standard, Queen, King, and Body Pillow Size!

Fold-over flap detailing completely covers the pillow

Well done seams and stitching

THE BEST PART: SO. MANY. COLOR. CHOICES!

There are 24 color choices to choose from! No matter what your color scheme, you will find a gorgeous, rich color to match. I like adding a pop of color to neutral bedscapes with gorgeous colored pillows, and there are endless variations to work with! Pink and Sage Green make for a fun and bright color combo, and Pale Orange and Coffee and perfect for Autumn! Try pairing them with Copper colored throw pillows or a duvet cover for a luxurious Fall look.

Crisp white pillowcases add a crisp, modern look and feel to vibrant autumn colors or metallics

Tie together bright colors, metallics, and patterns with these crisp white pillowcases

I picked Sage Green and Royal Blue for this time of year because the Sage Green is still a little Summery, but is also a little Autumnal. They go gorgeously with the richness of the Royal Blue pillowcases! And when it comes to pillowcases, you can never go wrong with crisp white!

Comes in twenty-four vibrant colors

The fabric feels really good too. This month has been a little crazy temperate-wise, so I’ve gotten to experience them on both weather extremes. On hot nights there are cool and don’t cling to your face (I hate that!), and on cold nights they provide warmth thanks to the microfiber!

And after a couple of washings, they are getting softer but are staying just as strong and fresh looking! They haven’t faded or gotten thinner, as some linens tend to do. The no-fade feature is a perk since the pillowcases set comes in so many lovely, vibrant colors.

Mix and match colors for a bright and cheery look

I particularly like that this set has four pillowcases since it allows the ability to switch out pillowcases each night and have spares to wash. Ideally, you should change out your pillowcase daily, as is the recommendation by dermatologists, for keeping your facial skin as clean and clear as possible.

Make a guest room feel comfy with multiple pillows. NTBAY comes four pillowcases in each set

The only thing I would like different about the pillowcase sets is that the packaging is a little tight for four pillowcases, so there were some creases that I had to gently iron out when I first used them. It’s a very small thing, but it would be nice to have them arrive crease-free, especially if I was giving them as a gift.

Four generously sized pillowcases per set

Speaking of giving them as a gift, NTBAY 100% BRUSHED Microfiber Pillowcases would make an excellent gift. Either for a child off at college, a friend who needs a pick me up, or to an elderly neighbor, being able to send soft, colorful pillowcases like these makes for a great gift!

Better Beauty Sleep: PineTales Organic Buckwheat Pillow

June 17, 2019 · 18 Comments

We love beauty sleep. Quality sleep is important for metabolism, brain function, stress reduction, restoring our bodies, minds, and… of course, our skin. The right pillow is key to better sleep. We tried the Pinetales Organic Buckwheat Pillow with Bamboo Cover. Read how Pinetales can improve your beauty sleep.

Pinetales Buckwheat Pillow

SKIN RESTORATION REQUIRES QUALITY SLEEP

For nightly treatment products to address skin issues, we must get restorative sleep. Collagen production and cell regeneration take place as we sleep. (1) Good pillows are conducive to sleeping well.

QUALITY PILLOWS PROMOTE QUALITY SLEEP

I’ve frequently replaced foam pillows because they get too lumpy. But a quality buckwheat pillow lasts for years. The Pinetales Organic Buckwheat Pillow features make it a superior choice.

Buckwheat crop stalks before harvesting

What is Buckwheat?

Buckwheat is a crop plant. The buckwheat seed has a thin, hard shell or “hull”.

In Japan, these hulls are traditionally used as pillow filling.

A field crop of buckwheat

Buckwheat in its’ shell after harvest.

Why Use Buckwheat Hulls as Pillow Filling?

Hulls are chemical-free, durable, hypoallergenic and gluten-free. They provide a comfortable, adjustable level of head and neck support.

The Buckwheat pillow concept soon became mass marketed. There are low-quality and high-quality buckwheat pillows. It is important to choose a buckwheat pillow with high-quality hulls.

WHAT MAKES THE PINETALES ORGANIC BUCKWHEAT PILLOW SPECIAL

Pinetales Organic Buckwheat pillows promise only the highest quality hulls. Pinetales hulls are odor and pesticide-free. Pesticide-free products run a higher risk of attracting bugs. Pinetales ensures that their hulls are bug-free. All hulls are triple screened and heat treated.

ORGANIC COMPONENTS

An important factor to the skin and health is our collective toxin exposure. We’re exposed to pollutants and chemicals daily. Our pillow exposure is for one-third of our lives. We reduce unnecessary chemical exposure by choosing organic pillows over fiberfill. Even chemicals that aren’t toxic can irritate the skin. This pillow contains only skin-friendly, organic components.

PILLOW CONSTRUCTION AND DESIGN

BAMBOO COVER

Bamboo provides soft, hypoallergenic, durable fabric for soft organic luxury sheets

Bamboo provides soft, hypoallergenic, durable and organic fabric

We love that this pillow comes with a bamboo cover. Bamboo is much better for skin and hair than polyester or cotton covers.

Bamboo can be quite soft and breathes more than cotton. It has natural odor-resistant and pest-resistant properties. Bamboo is hypoallergenic, antimicrobial and antibacterial.

The Pinetales cover is extra thick and so far has been quite durable. It is machine washable. It is ready to use, there are no chemicals to wash off.

Comfy quilted Pinetales bamboo pillowcase

The pillow has the outer quilted Jacquard bamboo cover with a hidden side zipper (shown open below) and the inner pillow with an inner zipper (shown closed) which contains the buckwheat hull filling.

The inner lining of the Pinetales bamboo pillow cover is soft, quilted and well made.

Puffy soft bamboo cover

BUCKWHEAT HULL FILLING

Buckwheat hulls are hard and thin. They look like they’d be too hard to sleep upon. But they’re tiny and surprisingly comfortable, not sharp or pointy. Once weight or pressure is pressed upon the hulls, they conform to the shape of the head or neck.

A dime for scale amongst the Pinetales hull filling. The hulls are hard but thin and tiny, so they adjust to weight.

WHY BUCKWHEAT HULLS MAKE GOOD PILLOW FILLING

The hulls grip together under weight to provide stable, cradling support.
Distributes weight evenly. This is important for those with shoulder or neck strain, lower back pain, muscle tension, headaches, and stress.
Hull shape allows for ventilation to keep the pillow cool.

DOCTORS AND PILLOWS: SUPERIOR SLEEP POSITION FOR SKIN, POSTURE & HEALTH

Dermatologists recommend that the head is elevated while sleeping. This allows for excess fluid to drain and you won’t wake up puffy.
Orthopedists recommend proper head and neck support to avoid neck and back issues.

MY EXPERIENCE

My Queen or standard pillowcases fit nicely on this pillow.

This pillow comes filled to the brim! Depending on the size selected, there are four or nine pounds of Organic Buckwheat Hulls, depending on the size pillow you choose.

The pillowcase zipper and inner pillow zipper reveal the generously stuffed Buckwheat hull filling inside

ADJUSTING THE FILLING: I removed a fair amount of filling to adjust to my needs. The more filling in the pillow, the less room the hulls have to move, and the harder it feels. Less filling gives a softer feel to conform to your head and neck.

I experimented until I found the perfect level of filling for me. The green cup seen below holds six ounces. I removed five heaping cups of hulls this size from the pillow to make it just right for me. The durable double YKK zipper design allows for easy access to remove or add the filling.

Remove and add the excess hulls until the pillow is just the right degree of firmness for your comfort.

Extra hulls. Remove or add the excess hulls until the pillow is just the right degree of firmness for your comfort.

Adjust the firmness of the pillow by unzipping the two zippers and removing some hull filling.

TIP: Place the pillow on a flat table surface or over newspaper to remove the excess hulls as the surplus may spill out.

TIP: To remove the hulls Place the pillow on a flat table surface when removing the excess hulls as the surplus may spill out.

A handful of hull pillow filling

SLEEPING: I am a side sleeper, but this pillow makes easier to sleep on my back. My head and neck are comfortably supported.

STAYS COOL: I didn’t have to flip the pillow over during the night for the “cool” side of the pillow. Buckwheat hulls keep cool and create enhanced air circulation. Keeping a cool head is an important component in sleeping well. Ever hear the phrase “cool head and warm feet”? Studies show our heads are most comfortable being cool while trying to get to sleep and to stay asleep.

CONCLUSION

This pillow works for stomach, side and back sleepers. It stays cool and keeps you comfortable with adjustable firmness. Organic and durable, this pillow will promote better beauty sleep for years to come.

The pillow came with a soft, silky eye mask. Sweet dreams!

ORGANIC & LUXE LIVING: LINENLY LUXE BAMBOO SHEET SET

May 16, 2019 · 17 Comments

We love beauty sleep. And nothing makes for a good night’s beauty sleep like soft sheets. It is wonderfully decadent to sleep on high thread count or Egyptian Cotton sheets. But they can be pricey. Linenly has an organic 100% Luxe Bamboo Sheet Set that is even softer than Egyptian Cotton. Its luxurious decadence meets organic, hypoallergenic function.

These sheet are so comfy on a lazy day to lounge in bed with a snack and watching movies or reading

This Linenly 100% Luxe Bamboo Sheet Set includes a Flat Sheet, a Fitted Sheet, and two Pillowcases.

WHY CHOOSE BAMBOO SHEETS

Bamboo makes for hypoallergenic, durable fabric for soft organic luxury sheets

Bamboo seems like it would be scratchy, but it can be soft and silk-like in texture. Bamboo is more breathable than cotton. This makes Bamboo sheets feel better than even many fine Egyptian cotton sheet sets. Bamboo also has natural odor-resistant properties.

NO PESTICIDES. Bamboo is naturally pest resistant.
Bamboo sheets are hypoallergenic, antimicrobial and antibacterial.
Bamboo is thermo-regulating. Use them all year to stay warm in winter and cool in the summer.
Bamboo sheets are an economical investment because they are so durable and long-lasting.

Linenly Bamboo Sheet Features

These organic bamboo fabric sheets are high-end cotton quality in feel but a mid-level cost.

Soft, durable material with quality stitching and detail

DURABLE
The sheets are prewashed and don’t shrink. They also do not fade or fray in the wash (see the included simple washing instructions or visit Linenly website). The stitching is even and tight. The elastic fitting remains intact after washing.

Fitted sheet elastic is sturdy and has deep pockets to accommodate tall mattresses

Sheets are well stitched and made of sturdy yet soft material. Look closely to see the sateen weave

Well crafted seams

OEKO-TEX CERTIFIED
Organic fabrics are sometimes processed with harmful chemicals. These sheets are processed safely.

Features of these sheets include safety certification

Features of these sheets include OEKO-TEX safety certification

The OEKO-TEX certification is a global testing standard. It assesses how the fabric is processed, including dyes and finishes. Oeko-Tex fabrics are certified free of harmful chemicals and are safe for human use. That means no harmful chemicals, toxins or harmful substances are used to make these sheets.

Luxury sheets are usually for adults. But the price point of these chemical and allergen free sheets makes them suitable for kids with allergies

Luxury sheets typically are reserved for adults. But the price point of these OEKO-TEX, organic, chemical-free sheets makes them appealing for the whole family including teens and kids with sensitivities

SIZING
There are two sizing options: King or Queen Size. The dimensions are generous. They can accommodate larger mattresses and mattress with toppers (up to 40 cm total depth).

COLOR OPTIONS
We chose Violet Pink. The color options are:

- White
- Ivory
- Gray Blue
- Steel Gray
- Light Gray
- Violet Pink
- Forest
- Olive Green
- Platinum
- Taupe

Violet Pink

HOW THEY FEEL

Soft, soft, soft. SO soft. The feel is exceptionally soft and luxurious. It has a rich 400 thread count sateen weave, equal to 1000 cotton thread count feel and durability.

They weave these sheets with a super-fine yarn that results in a silky smooth finish. The sateen weave structure is with spun yarns instead of filament. This makes for an extra soft feel. The weave has a “long float” that makes fabric feel less rough and bumpy to the touch.

Note the sateen weave that makes for a softer, smoother feel

MY EXPERIENCE

The Linenly 100% Luxe Bamboo Sheet Set fits easily on my taller queen mattress. They fit well on the guest room pull out couch. The couch has a thinner mattress with a thicker foam “egg crate” style topper. Linenly sheets make a guest bed feel comfy and luxurious. The color is vibrant and true to what I expected from the website color options.

They are a delight to sleep on, soft and smooth! There is a nice heft to the weight, but they don’t feel stiff or cumbersome. The feel is like heavy silk. Perfect for a lazy day of snacks and streaming movies, reading a good book, and of course, a good night’s sleep.

Make a guest feel pampered even on a pull out couch with these luxuriously soft sheets

The Linenly Luxe Bamboo Sheet Set is quality hypoallergenic and organic bedding. The sheets hold the Oeko-Tex certification and have an excellent point. Perfect for year-round use, especially for those with sensitivities or allergies.

Makes for a luxe yet practical gift!
