New Year Goals with Beauty Pillow!

It’s really normal to want to take a look back over your year and start planning for what lies ahead. When taking stock of your achievements, we often have an all or nothing approach. This approach can swing to the toxically positive or the alarmingly negative. 

In terms of your year in review, how do you think you did?

Did you meet your goals?

How do you quantify your goals? Is it time spent or by results?

We think it’s best to quantify things in terms of progress towards overall goals versus the total completion of a goal.

If you spent about 8 hours a night sleeping, that’s almost 3000 hours of beauty sleep in one year! Getting enough beauty sleep will differ from person to person. We’ve loved being with you to maximize your glow, boost your health and wellness and improve your sleep quality! 

As human beings, our needs and wants are more transient than we think, especially when we’re writing our goals and to do lists. What we need mentally, emotionally and physically might change from season to season and even minute to minute. 

One thing will always remain the same! The human need to sleep and how our body and mind benefits from improved sleep quality! 

Looking Ahead! New Year, New Goals?

Looking ahead into the new year, your goals often seem eerily similar year after year. What if, this year, you work on shifting your mindset to one that celebrates your body and helps it to function at its best? 

Aiming to improve your sleep is one of the best ways to improve almost every other facet of your life. Sleep helps your brain to function at its best, improving recall, concentration, cognitive thinking and productivity. 

Boosting your sleep efficacy by supporting your body in sleep will help to reduce muscle tension and improve energy levels. Having more energy will help you work towards your health and wellness goals. Whether you’re looking to improve your fitness, create a skincare routine or improve your flexibility, sleeping well will help you stay consistent. 

So, what are the best tools to use to boost your energy and improve your sleep hygiene?

Supporting your body through any physical change starts in bed! 

The Beauty Pillow works to elevate the head and neck, promoting better circulation and lymphatic drainage. What about below the neck?

The Chest Pillow is designed to support your chest and décolletage by reducing the appearance of sleep wrinkles. The cushioned cleavage wrinkle fighting pillow is encased in a silk-satin blend and features adjustable straps, like an anti wrinkle bra pillow. 

The padding sits between the breasts, working to prevent sleep wrinkles and asymmetry.

Who would need a cleavage wrinkle pillow? Women!

It’s about more than sleep wrinkles. In sleep, we toss and turn. It’s natural to favor one side. This can lead to sleep wrinkles and micro tears in the breast tissue that reduce the skin's elasticity.

Consistently favoring one side in sleep can also lead to neck, shoulder and back pain. Using the Chest Pillow can help to reduce muscular pain by ensuring your breasts are supported overnight. 

Favoring one side can lead to strain and tension in our joints and muscles, especially in the lower back. Using the best knee pillow for lower back pain by placing the pillow between the knees for side sleepers helps to align the spine in sleep. 

The Knee Pillow can be used as a knee sleeping pillow between the legs or thighs to reduce joint compression. As a knee rest pillow to elevate the legs, reducing lumbar strain from sitting or standing for long periods. Placing the best knee pillow for side sleepers on your list of must-have gym recovery tools is our top tip for starting your fitness journey off on the right foot this year!
