Happy almost June! Summer is my favorite season, except for Christmas which I consider it’s very own mini-season. With that in mind, I put together a collection of summer essentials that I love (and think you will, too.)
a Rafflecopter giveawayHere’s what’s included:
Clearly Filtered Water Pitcher ($81) – Unlike most pitcher filters which barely do more than improve water taste by removing chlorine, this pitcher is certified to remove 365+ contaminants – more than any other model I researched – all while keeping beneficial minerals intact. It’s perfect for staying hydrated on hot days . . . and road trips too!
Toups & Co Tallow Frankincense Balm ($48)– Tallow is uniquely compatible with our skin’s biology, leaving it supple and nourished after use. Rich in fat soluble vitamins A, D, and K along with a saturated fat ratio that closely resembles what our cells use to maintain integrity, it absorbs easily without leaving a greasy residue behind. I spend a lot of time in saltwater during the summer, so I rely on this balm to restore moisture.
40 oz. Summer Beeswax Candle from Natural Sloth ($33)– Handmade in my hometown with eco-friendly wooden wicks, sustainably sourced beeswax, coconut oil and essential oils, these candles are absolutely beautiful. The Summer blend is minty, citrusy, and sweet – think tangerine and spearmint.
Purity Coffee “Flow” Medium Roast Coffee ($26) – This is the only coffee I’ve found that is both organic and screened for mycotoxins and pesticides. Also, they use a unique roasting process that maximizes antioxidants while minimizing stuff your body doesn’t want like acrylamide.
Mo’ Natural Magnesium Lotion ($19.95) – Magnesium is often called the “magic mineral” due to its ability to relax achy muscles, mitigate the effects of stress, and calm the mind by supporting the production of the neurotransmitter GABA. This study also suggests that magnesium may improve sleep quality by increasing melatonin levels and decreasing cortisol levels. Unfortunately for some people, magnesium oil can cause an itchy or uncomfortable sensation when applied in undiluted form. This lotion solves that by blending skin-calming ingredients like argan seed, prickly pear seed and hemp seed oil with high potency transdermal magnesium. According to my Oura ring, I sleep more deeply on the nights I remember to apply it before bed.
