Hypoallergenic

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

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 donâ€™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

Better Beauty Sleep: Building Better Bedding with HOMFY

December 22, 2017 · 9 Comments

You spend (hopefully) eight hours asleep. That is eight hours that your hair and skin are in contact with sheets, pillowcases, comforters, and blankets. 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 HOMFY Bedding.

Keep your skin and hair in good condition with Homfy Sheet Set as you get a great night’s sleep

WHY WE LIKE THE HOMFY SHEET SET

It is soft and luxurious feeling against my skin and my hair easily glides over it, 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!

Other features of the HOMFY Sheet Set:

Made with 100% Polyester Microfiber, it is soft and breathable, giving you comfort against your skin. The fabric is fade, shrink and wrinkle resistant
4 PIECE BED SHEET SET INCLUDES – Flat sheet (90” x 102”), Fitted Sheet (60” x 80” x 18) and Set of 2 Pillow Cases (20” x 30”)
DEEP POCKET(18″) DESIGN – The fitted sheet is designed with deep pockets (18”) with elastic all around, making it snugly fit the mattress. I like this feature since my mattress has a high loft.
EASY CARE – Gentle cycle, tumble dry on low heat and do not bleach
HOMFY offers 24 months warranty from the date of the purchase with any issues
Comes in a variety of beautiful colors! I really like the white because it is so crisp looking, though. It’s like going to bed in one of those gorgeous Instagram bed pictures every night!

HOMFY pillowcase closeup

The sheets feel really good too. On hot nights there are cool and don’t cling to you, and on cold nights they provide warmth thanks to the microfiber!

What I love the most about these sheets? They are hypoallergenic, which makes them perfect for sensitive skin. The Microfiber also protects against dust mites and mildew.

Sheet fabric close up

I love how the crisp white sheets brighten up and tie together a dark background and vibrant colors!

Homfy

Right now the HOMFY bed sheets are on sale for $29.99, which is a great deal for such an amazing set.

HOMFY 100% COTTON QUEEN COMFORTER

But it is getting cold out, isn’t it? Time to add a luxurious comforter, like the HOMFY 100% Cotton Queen Comforter.

Nothing is as inviting as a Down Comforter on a chilly winter night. Ever stay at a boutique hotel and love the high-end bedding? The HOMFY 100% Cotton Queen Comforter reminds me of luxury hotel quality bedding in both design, stitching, quality, and comfort. The box stitched design keeps the fill weight evenly distributed with no leakage for a comfortable, soft, fluffy bed. Hypo-allergenic, light-weight and soft, it is an affordable luxury item that makes for much better night’s sleep.

We’ve had a real cold streak lately here in New England, and this blanket has kept me toasty warm while still being lightweight and comfortable. It’s a high quality, similar to when I stayed at a boutique Omni Hotel who has fantastic luxury bedding in all their guest rooms. The HOMFY 100% Cotton Queen Comforter is not scratchy or stiff; it is soft, very fluffy and full. It also isn’t too heavy.

WHAT I REALLY LOVE ABOUT IT

It is made with Down Alternative Microfiber fill, so it is hypoallergenic! So like the sheets, it is also dust mite and mildew resistant!

It is also SO FLUFFY without being cumbersome. It fluffs up more from laying it out and allowing it to fluff up a bit. But it could be used directly out of the package. And since it is hypoallergic, you don’t need to air it out before use!

The HOMFY Sheets and Down Alternative Comforter is so luxurious, you’ll want to stay in bed all day!

There are also corner tabs to secure it in place. I put a beautiful gold silk duvet cover over it, and it didn’t slide around in the cover, which is great!

Bed Made Up all Cozy with the HOMFY Sheet Set and Comforter (in a vintage silk Duvet Cover)

Find the HOMFY 100% Cotton Queen Comforter at Amazon.

So there you have it – the building blocks to a great night of beauty sleep! Sweet dreams!

Luxe Hair Conditioning: Allurials Fragrance-Free Conditioner

May 14, 2017 · Leave a Comment

There are many luxe hair conditioners that make hair soft, shiny and strong but are naturally or artificially fragrant. Unfortunately, there are few unscented conditioners that are also effective, especially for colored hair. If you need fragrance-free hair care, options are limited. We love Allurials Fragrance Free Conditioner, an unscented conditioner containing the quality of natural ingredients found in high-end conditioners including Jojoba, Coconut Oil, Avocado, Argan Oil, Aloe Vera and other natural hair nourishing goodness.

Allurials Fragrance-Free Hair Conditioner contains a rich cocktail of organic, natural superfood ingredients for hair and scalp

WHY THE NEED FOR UNSCENTED HAIR CARE

The scent of your conditioner lingers on hair, even subtly, after use. This is wonderful if you like the scent, but for those with allergies, or a preference for only using their own perfumed scent, or for whatever reason you or a partner needs your hair to remain fragrance-free, hair care options become limited. Many of the luxe hair conditioners that are highly effective have moderate to heavy scent due to added fragrance or they contain ingredients that have a strong natural aroma. And, some men just want quality hair conditioners without a perfumed scent.

UNSCENTED OPTIONS

It becomes difficult to find quality unscented hair care. While there are some no or low scent hair care products lines amongst drug store brands, many find the only real feature of these products is that they are unscented, they generally are not very hydrating. And a lower price point, they rarely have a meaningful quantity of quality moisturizing ingredients. Even at a higher price point, including amongst brands that are known to be allergy friendly, there are limited options within their fragrance-free haircare.

ALLURIALS FRAGRANCE-FREE HAIR CONDITIONER

Allurials is indeed unscented. Not just devoid of added fragrance, but my fussy nose finds no detectable scent. Suitable for men and women, it is hydrating to hair and scalp with some amazing ingredients

INGREDIENTS

Several Superfoods can be seen in the list of organic and natural ingredients in Allurials Fragrance-Free Hair Conditioner, providing benefit to both scalp and the hair.

Full of organic and natural ingredients like Coconut Oil and Aloe Vera to feed the hair and scalp

Silk Peptides and Pea Peptides aid the structure of the hair. Pea Peptides minimize UV damage to the scalp. Pea Peptides contain Lysine, important for hair growth promotion at the follicular level and sebum production regulation, which decreases with age. Pea Peptides absorb easily.
Argan oil when massaged into the scalp aids in stimulating the hair follicles for stimulated hair growth.
Jojoba oil is an emollient, made of 98% monounsaturated fats so it can penetrate the hair follicle. It fills in the cracks and damage to bare spots on the hair shaft, especially on chemically-treated or color-treated hair. Jojoba has a very similar structure to sebum, replacing the natural oils the scalp needs to stay healthy. Jojoba gives elasticity and softness to hair. Jojoba is also a carrier oil, increasing the efficacy of other active ingredients.
Avocado oil decreases dryness and improves texture
Coconut oil is extremely popular in hair care, and for good reason. It helps hair retain protein and moisture. Protein loss is what makes hair look damaged. Coconut Oil within a conditioner is easier to wash out than straight Coconut Oil application.
Flaxseed Oil is high in Omega-3s, Flaxseed is a superfood for hair. It helps reduce hair loss.
Kernel Oil is a deep hair conditioner that is also beneficial for the scalp and is packed with nourishing vitamins for hair.
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice feeds hair with essential nutrients, it also makes hair smooth, soft and shiny. Aloe Vera has a type of enzyme that repairs dead skin cells on the scalp. A healthy scalp means optimal hair growth.
Linseed Oil is helpful for hair damaged by environmental factors and styling tools. High in Omega 3s, Linseed helps hair when massaged into the roots of the hair.

Contains natural ingredients such as Aloe Vera, Coconut Oil and Avocado

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

This is a very thick, creamy conditioner, almost a concentrated consistency like a thick moisturizer but not as thick as a buttercream.

I was excited to see many of the ingredients contained within this conditioner, as they have been successful on my hair when used in DIY hair mask tutorials, such as Coconut Oil. But when used directly on the hair, many of these ingredients are often difficult to rinse out because they are so emollient and oily. However, within this conditioner, I found them to rinse cleanly.

Allurials Fragrance-Free Hair Conditioner contains rich organic ingredients like Coconut Oil, Aloe and Avocado but it still rinses away clean with no residue

APPLICATION AND USE

It required less Allurials conditioner to coat my hair than I tend to use with some other brands. And it soaked in quickly.

A dollop of Allurials is all that is needed

TIP: Rub it between wet palms to fully emulsify it, like you would for a good, thick facial moisturizer like Creme de la Mer.

Rub the creamy conditioner between your fingers before applying to hair

Then I coated my hair and even my scalp and massaged it into my hair so it could absorb. It made for a good scalp massage. It did not feel as slippery or gooey as conditioners typically feel while in the hair, it felt more like a hair styling cream. It also seemed to sink into my hair instead of staying on the surface.

There really is no scent. Even lots of hypoallergenic brands have a scent, albeit light and non-irritating. I smelled nothing.

Since it was not a slippery coating sitting on the surface of my hair, it was difficult to assess when I considered the conditioner washed out of my hair when rinsing. Because of this, I took a bit longer to rinse out than some conditioners, but it was still much less time to rinse out than when I use any of these natural items directly on my hair, such as washing out Coconut Oil or an Avocado hair mask. It did wash out completely and cleanly however without leaving a residue.

VERDICT:

My hair felt strong and hydrated, even my dry ends felt smoother. My scalp felt good and my hair looked shiny and was soft after use.

Because it is not scented, I can even use Allurials Fragrance-Free Conditioner in my hair overnight and wash it out in the morning without getting signs of fragrance irritation such as puffy eyes or a sniffly nose. It does not stain my pillowcase. This makes it also useful as a pre-poo hair treatment and it is creamy enough to stay put as a deep conditioning hair mask if it is combed into hair while exercising or watching a movie.

Suitable for both men and women who want a luxe moisturizing conditioner with no fragrance or scent, Allurials Fragrance-Free Conditioner provides superfood benefits to the hair and scalp for healthier hair.

Cosy House Collection 1800 Series Luxury Bed Sheets: Dependable Luxury for Better Sleep

April 17, 2017 · Leave a Comment

Nothing beats a good nights’ sleep, and soft, comfortable bed sheets are an easy way to up the luxury factor of your bed. A set of sheets that we like is the Cosy House Collection 1800 Series Bed Sheets because they are a soft, comfortable, silky high-grade hypoallergenic, dust-mite resistant microfiber. The set includes four pillowcases and comes in several vibrant colors.

Cosy House 1800 Series Bed Sheets in purple

Cosy House Collection 1800 Series Bed Sheets in purple

I have owned my share of luxury bed linens in my day, and once you sleep on high-thread-count sheets, you don’t want to go back to “regular” sheets because they feel scratchy in comparison. Luxury linens are often difficult to care for, high-priced and are not always so durable. So I like The Cosy House Collection 1800 Series Bed Sheets because not only are they so very soft and silky like my pricey luxury linens, but they have several features my other luxury linens do not have.

ABOUT THE SHEET SET:

Cosy House Collection 1800 Series Bed Sheets Set comes with:

1 Deep Pocket Fitted Sheet
1 Flat Sheet
4 Pillowcases (yes, FOUR)

HOW THE SHEETS LOOK

The sheets come in several colors: White, Ivory, Cream, Burgundy, Gold, Taupe, Baby Blue, Chocolate, Navy Blue, Purple, Sage Green. We selected the purple to coordinate with an autumnal-themed color palette of coppers, dark browns, and gold. It also looks good in the summer paired with a white duvet and decorative pillows. I love how the purple looks with other bright, pretty colors, and it makes for such an inviting guest bedroom.

Wonderful soft and inviting in a guest bedroom

Cosy House Collection sheets are wonderfully soft and inviting in a guest bedroom

Another feature is that these the sheets are resistant to stains and fading. The no-fade feature is a perk since the sheet set comes in so many lovely, vibrant colors.

The sheet sets come in Twin, Full, Queen, and King.

The pillowcases have color-coordinated stitched detailing.

A three line stitch is seen on the edge of the pillowcase

I particularly like that this set has FOUR pillowcases, allowing for all matching pillowcases if you like to use more than one pillow, or the ability to switch out pillowcases each night and have one spare to wash, as is the recommendation for keeping your facial skin as clean and clear as possible.

HOW THEY FEEL

Sumptuous and silky! They are very soft because of the premium double-brushed microfiber. They are also breathable, making them feel fresh and comfortable on warm, humid nights, yet cozy and warm on colder evenings.

HOW THEY FIT ON THE BED

I got the Queen size set, the dimensions are generous and easily fit onto my pillowtopper mattress. The Flat Sheet measures 105″ x 90″, the Fitted Sheet measuring 80″ x 60″, and the Pillowcases are 20″ x 30″, which is plenty of room even for my super fluffy pillows.

The fitted sheet fits mattresses up to 16″ deep

The bottom sheet stays in place: the bottom fitted sheet has elastic all the way around, not just on the corners, so it stays put on the mattress, even on deeper pillowtop mattresses like mine, about 16 inches. These sheets are also good for mattresses plus mattress toppers such as an egg crate or foam topper. The sheets fit taut and stay put, and I like not having to remake the corners of the bed in the morning.

The sheets also fit on not so deep mattresses including my pull out couch for guests. I like to add a mattress topper to make the guest bed more comfortable, and these sheets accommodate this nicely.

Full elastic on the deep pocket fitted sheet

DURABLE & EASY CARE FABRIC FEATURES

DURABLE: A great feature of these sheets is how durable they are which is surprisingly considering they feel so sumptuous and silky. Despite being so soft to the touch, due to their ultra-tight knit, the fabric is stronger than cotton. They did not rip or tear after washing and drying.
WRINKLE RESISTANT: The fabric resists wrinkles, any wrinkles seen after unpacking the sheets smooth out after being in the dryer.
HYPOALLERGENIC: The fabric is hypoallergenic and resistant to dust mites. If you have allergies, this set is for you. Soft enough for sensitive skin, yet resistant to irritants like dust mites.

MAKES FOR A LUXE GIFT

These Cosy House Collection sheets are soft, silky and luxe enough to give as a gift, and they come in a tassel-trimmed zippered sturdy case that makes them easy to give as a gift and to store them in tight spaces like a first apartment. A lovely wedding or housewarming gift, or as a gift for yourself!

Makes for a great housewarming or wedding gift

GUARANTEE

These sheets come with a Lifetime Warranty: if you are unhappy, send a photo of the problem, and they’ll send a replacement set, and you don’t even have to go through the hassle of returning the original sheets!

CONCLUSION

A luxe bedding sheet set like this Cosy House Collection 1800 Series Luxury Bed Sheets Set is a lovely indulgence for a good nights sleep, for lounging around in bed on a relaxing Sunday afternoon watching movies or reading, having a lazy, leisurely breakfast and enjoying your silky, soft bedding. The Cosy House Collection 1800 Series Luxury Bed Sheets set is durable with features like deep fitted corners for pillowtop mattresses, easy care, hypoallergenic, wrinkle, and fade resistant. It is also so luxuriously soft on the skin and comes in many beautiful colors to match your winter and spring bedding decors.
