Sleeping for Beauty

There's a reason it's called 'beauty sleep.'  Sleeping is proven to make you slimmer, sharper, and better looking!  If you don't get enough sleep, your body actually releases an appetite stimulating hormone called grehlen, making you more hungry during the day.  Lack of sleep can also reduce your brain function, memory and reasoning abilities... you know that feeling of being too tired to remember a word that's on the tip of your tongue.  And of course, we all want to avoid the ultimate sign of a sleepless night:  dark under eye circles.  Just by sleeping 6-8 hours a night you can improve your appearance, brain function, and stay slim  :)   



Need help catching some zzzzzz's?  The aroma of lavender can help you relax and get a restful sleep.  Spray some lavender pillow mist on your linens or rub some lavender oil on your temples before bedtime.
