8 SLEEP FOR A GREAT NIGHT'S SLEEP

The older I get, the more I learn that one of the most vital elements of a happy and healthy lifestyle is getting a good night's sleep. And, sometimes, that’s no easy feat!

 Since October is World Menopause Month, it is important to address some conditions associated with menopause that impact sleep. I’ve personally experienced endless tossing and turning, hot flashes and uncomfortable night sweats. The sleepless nights are exhausting, and if you’ve hit this stage in your life, you'll understand completely!

Thankfully, I've discovered Eight Sleep. Clinically proven to improve your quality of sleep, the Eight Sleep Pod 3 mattress and Pod 3 cover combine research and cutting-edge technology. I am a big fan of bio-hacking, so I was excited to put the Pod cover to the test. The unique features include a customized temperature system that’s super easy to use. Ranging from 55 to 110 degrees, the Pod adjusts the temperature throughout the night based on my specific heating and cooling needs. It can be adjusted through the app right from your phone – now, how convenient is that! If you’re not solo in your bed, and your temperature needs are different than your partner's, this is a great problem-solver since each side adjusts independently.

The App is so easy to use!

Personalize your settings.

Your sleep patterns are tracked through built-in sensors and then viewed through the app. It even has an alarm setting that gently wakes you up. Personally, I’m really enjoying this setting! It also detects when I fall asleep and monitors my heart rate and heart rate variability. In other words, it’s able to collect all of the necessary insights so you get the best quality sleep. The visual data is so helpful, and it’s all right there on your phone!

Use Code JANET and get $150 off the Pod

Since I began using this a couple of weeks ago, I have seen an improvement. I started with a sleep score of 63, and it has increased to 83. That is encouraging data for me! I’ll keep you posted as I continue to make tweaks based on the feedback I get from the app. I can definitely tell a difference when I wake up in the morning feeling more revitalized and functioning with clarity. So, if you value your sleep like I do, this is definitely worth the investment!

Finding Eight Sleep has definitely been a life hack for me because great sleep leads to better health and longevity! I’m now “in bed” with technology & Eight Sleep makes a great partner!  

 Use my code JANET and get $150 off the Pod or $100 off the Pod Cover, so you can start experiencing this line of innovative products. Sweet dreams!

OneSkin - Not Just Your Ordinary Skincare

Are you ready for a product that revives your skin and repairs years of sun damage? If you are interested in longevity, you'll want to read on to find out more about this women-founded, women-led brand.

Several months ago, I was listening to Tony Robbins' book, “Lifeforce,” on Audible. He was sharing about a skincare brand that was changing the way skin ages and how it was revolutionizing the skincare industry with a proprietary peptide, OS-01. He was speaking about OneSkin.

OneSkin OS-01 FACE and OS-01 BODY Topical Supplements are daily moisturizers that improve skin elasticity and crepiness, targeting the root cause of skin aging. As a reminder, I’m 60, and I take good care of myself, but sun damage, age, and hormones take a huge toll on the skin. I wasn’t too hopeful – that is, until I saw the results after using OneSkin for 4 weeks. Never before have I personally seen such a dramatic improvement in my skin.

 After 2 weeks of using both products, I noticed the texture on my legs and arms was changing big time! I was honestly ecstatic when I saw what was going on. After 4 weeks, I saw a difference in my face, neck, and chest; there was elasticity, hydration, and an overall healthy look.

Yes, this blog is sponsored, but I want you to know that I’ve spent over $400 re-purchasing these two products since I discovered them late last spring, and I will continue using OneSkin indefinitely. I even encourage my girlfriends to use my code, JANET15 and just try it. I tell them if they don’t like it I will buy it back. That’s how much I love and stand behind this brand. I haven't had to buy any back!

The Science

OneSkin Technologies is dedicated to exploring longevity science. Their proprietary peptide, OS-01, works by reducing the build-up of damaged cells that induce inflammation factors and accelerate the aging of surrounding cells. Their OS-01 FACE and OS-01 BODY Topical Supplements work on all skin types, addressing skin health at the molecular level. Founded in 2016 by a team of women with PhDs from various scientific backgrounds and years of experience in stem cell biology, skin regeneration, aging, and bioinformatics, this team of accomplished experts made research and technology a priority from the start, working tirelessly to transform the aging process.

OneSkin for the body

Code: JANET15 is for 15% off one-time purchase and first subscription purchases.

I use both products morning and night after cleansing. Other benefits include improved skin barrier and elasticity, fewer wrinkles, improved skin evenness, radiance, firmness, and overall appearance. Both products are clinically proven and backed by extensive data showing that they visibly diminish the signs of aging, promote longevity, and keep the skin feeling youthful and radiant.

  OneSkin has a 30-day money-back guarantee, so it certainly doesn't hurt to give it a shot. A single bottle lasts me about 2 months. I only wish OneSkin were around in my 40s…even my 50s! Note to my younger readers or anyone with young adults, men, and women - this is for both, by the way - it's never too early to start taking care of your skin! I can’t wait to see what continues to be developed by these four amazing PhDs! I get so inspired to explore new ways to strengthen the body’s natural function and transform the aging process because brands like this show me it’s possible!


Want to try OneSkin for yourself? Use my code JANET15 to get 15% off a one-time purchase and first subscription purchases.

  Thank you for reading and learning about OneSkin - It really works, and I look forward to sharing more about this brand in the coming months.

xx, Janet
