Finding Homeopathic Summer Skincare Solutions

by

boiron calendula cream

So far this summer I’ve been dealing with a fair share of maladies, from colds to aches and pains, cuts, scrapes, skin & eye irritation, bruises and raw skin around my nose as a result of a cold.  I’ve replaced the products I usually use to treat and heal during these times with homeopathic solutions from Boiron, a family-run worldwide homeopathic medicine company that’s been around since 1932, and couldn’t be more pleased with the results. Arnicare Gel ($8.69) has not only eased aches and pains, but helped to dissolve the discoloration of bruises rather rapidly.  Calendula Cream ($12.99) on the other hand, has been my catch-all for everything from little cuts around my cuticles to that aforementioned uncomfortable and unsightly raw nose look, razor burn, and sunburn. Even though I’ve only been using it for a few weeks, I’m having trouble figuring out how I’ve survived up to this point without it!

Boiron’s Optique 1 Eye Drops ($9.19 for 10 doses) have really come to my aid in combating itchy, dry eyes as a result of allergies and overall, the sensation of dryness and feeling uncomfortable from being sick, while taking the Ruta Graveolens ($8.99) pellets has given me hope of lessening the exhausting eye effects of staring at a computer screen all day long. I’ll always take a homeopathic solution from Boiron over anything else in the medicine aisle of the mass food and drug store, which have fortunately begun to carve out space for some of these products there. You’ll easily find Boiron in natural product stores, such as Whole Foods, and online at BoironUSA.com.

MSX by Michael Strahan: Because Swishy Pants Simply Won’t Do!

An old, grubby tshirt? No.  Blown out sweatpants? Noo. Ripped and revealing muscle tees? Nooo. Late ’90s swishy pants or basketball shorts? Noooo! Guys: even though you may just be at the gym working out, have a little more self-respect than your old gear that you would otherwise never wear in public. Donate that stuff, and opt for items with advanced technology and style that dry, cool, and fit like a glove.  I know the odds may be against you, since there aren’t that many affordable brands making strides in this category, especially without splashing their logos and labels all over the place, but here’s one that fits the bill: MSX by Michael Strahan.

The former New York Giants pro football star can empathize, spending an ample amount of time during his career working out, but also needing to transition to life outside of the gym. The tightly-edited lineup of shirts, jackets, shorts and pants in the collection feature high styling in versatile (read: largely neutral) colors that feature Quick-Dri technology and no-chafe seams, auto-lock zippers, UV protection, reflective strips, and all washable and capable of being layered for season-less appeal. Even if working out isn’t the #1 priority but garments with good stretch and give are (or just generally looking “athleisurely”), the short sleeve Polo, tech knit bomber jacket and stretch knit chino pants are sleek enough to be your new office go-tos.

Sizes range for shirts from small to XXL, waist sizes from 30-42, with big and tall sizing also available. Original pricing is $26-$75, with items currently on sale form $14.99-$44.99.  MSX by Michael Strahan is available exclusively at JCPenney.

Just Realized Father’s Day is Sunday? Let White Tale Coffee Take Care of Dad

[A few packets from the White Tale Coffee Sampler Pack]

Truth be told, I’ve been cutting it VERY close lately with birthdays, holidays, etc, and as much as I love shopping and thoughtfully identifying the most ideal gift…I don’t have much time to spend on it these days. If you’re still in need of a Father’s Day gift, you can still select a delectable one of coffee, that is packaged and delivered for your dad to most definitely enjoy.

White Tale Coffee is a great go to for a coffee subscription,  with a sampler pack that encloses cards (pictured above) that provide insightful information into the grower’s methods of procuring the delicious beans about to be tasted. Choose from several subscription options, or if you aren’t so committal with it, you can see what dad thinks via a one-time delivery.

Prices range from $18-$22 per delivery, depending on the coffee, bag size, frequency, and customize it even further by grind preference and roast. Subscribers also get free shipping, and I guarantee that dad will feel well taken care-of; you can choose weekly, every other week, or monthly deliveries for him. Who doesn’t love a delivery of aromatic, caffeinated goodness?! (and just in case dad needs to cool it on the caffeine but still loves a java fix, there are some decaf options as well)
