Slip Silk Pillowcase

I've been using the Slip Silk Pillowcases for about a year now and i'm in love with them.


Slip Silk Pillowcases are made from 100% mulberry silk, it's hypoallergenic and dust mite resistant. Mulberry silk acts as a natural temperature regulator, meaning during summer the pillow case remains cool and doesn't sweat like synthetic satin and other man-made imitations.


Sleeping on a regular cotton pillow case can be causing not only your hair but your skin damage. Throughout the night we all toss and turn, cotton grabs the hair, twisting it at the root throughout the night, not only causing damage but leaving you with a chronic case of bed-head. Over time this will cause damage to the hair follicles, resulting in thinner, less healthy hair. Cotton also damages the skin, drawing moisture, therefore counteracting the benefits of moisturizer or serum. As Slip Silk Pillowcases are made from 100% mulberry silk, your skin is able to glide comfortably whereas cotton scratches and tugs on delicate skin, effectively 'ironing in' wrinkles.

Definitely a thumbs up in my book, be sure to give these pillowcases a try.

The Importance of 'Mindfulness'


Everyone has a time in their life when things are getting too much and I think realizing that is the first step to serenity.


It's important to take time out for yourself, whether you do yoga for ten minutes in the morning or you put on a face mask, just doing a small relaxing gesture each day really will help to revitalize your being.


During a bad point in my life I decided to attend a mindfulness workshop which is something I'd never heard about before. Basically the workshop was all about teaching you ways to really take in and enjoy the world around you. These tactics were as simple as taking the time to appreciate a beautiful sunset or a delicious smelling meal. It may seem like small things but incorporating these into my every day life made a whole world of good. It gave me a new appreciation for the small things and not taking those pleasures in life for granted.





It's time you make yourself a priority.
