Reviewing the HigherDOSE PEMF GO Mat for people who want relaxation, pain relief, and improved sleep. I’m sharing how I use it for all three at the same time! If you’re interested in getting one of your own, check out the link here and use FITNESSISTA15. I’m also a huge fan of the HigherDOSE sauna blanket and the red light face mask.   Hi friends! How are you? I hope you’re having a wonderful morning! I’m packing up for a little upcoming trip and getting everything ready to go. Ready for some (more) California beach air! For today’s post, I figured it was time I did a full review for something I use every.single.day: the infrared PEMF Go Mat. I’ve posted about it quite a bit and many friends on IG agreed that it’s worth the hype and one of the best things ever. When I first ordered the mat over a year ago, I knew I wanted something to bring me pockets of relaxation but also energy throughout the day. That’s exactly what it does for me, and today, I’m sharing all the details!...

5-minute skincare and 5-minute makeup routine

Image
Sharing an updated skincare and makeup routine that’s perfect for beginners. Hey friends! How’s the day going? I hope you had a wonderful weekend. P had a soccer game, I taught a barre class, we watched a movie and roasted a chicken, and met up with the fam for dinner. Today, I’m spending the morning studying for IHP (I’m more than halfway through Level Two!) and taking a hot yoga class. For today’s post, I wanted to share my most recent skincare and makeup routine. I’ve had some recent requests and I feel like I’ve found a groove with products and so many of these have been faves for the past few years. It’s funny because I went to write this post thinking that I’m a major minimalist, but after writing everything down, it feels like a lot of products! So while I use a lot of *stuff*, everything has a purpose, and my routine is SPEEDY. It has to be with juggling kids’ pickup/dropoffs/activities/work/life. I also try to pick products that have safer ingredients with decent EWG ratin...

Explaining Unexplained Infertility

Image
By Benjamin Tee, Co-Founder — twoplus Fertility When it comes to fertility, the numbers are not as prolific as you might expect. Among heterosexual American women aged 15 to 49 years with no prior births, about one in five are unable to get pregnant after a year of trying . One in four women in this group have difficulty getting pregnant at all, or in carrying a pregnancy to term — a condition known as “impaired fecundity.” The World Health Organization now estimates that 15 percent of reproductive-aged couples globally are affected by infertility in some way. My wife and I are one such couple. We discovered our status after multiple visits to many different doctors and specialists. Clinically speaking, you would be considered to be infertile by clinicians 12 months after actively trying to get pregnant. What we found out next was disconcerting, if not dispiriting. When doctors do not have a clear idea of what is causing infertility, as in our case, it is simply termed “unexplaine...

A Comprehensive Guide to Taking a Healthy Vacation

Image
Practicing health and wellbeing in our daily lives is insufficient; we also look for wellbeing when we travel. The Global Wellness Institute (GWI), a nonprofit organization based in the United States, defines wellness tourism as travel to preserve or improve a person’s total wellbeing. Although “wellness” and “wellbeing” are sometimes interchangeable and related, it is crucial to remember that they have significantly different connotations. While both Gallup and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) define wellbeing in a broader life context — feelings of contentment and satisfaction and positive function in career, social, financial, physical, psychological, and other frameworks — which are essential for personal and public health, wellness is a component of wellbeing. It refers to a healthy lifestyle beyond acute illness. Numerous strategies exist for promoting general wellbeing through wellness tourism. For some, it may require traveling to a place specifically fo...

Vancouver Philanthropist Katrina Sriranpong Discusses Menstruation Stigma and its Impact on Human Rights

Image
Menstruation stigma still exists in many or most cultures around the world.  Unfortunately, women may be excluded from certain positions and settings due to menstruation.  Some traditions prevent women and girls from cooking food and require them to live outside of the home, usually in a hut or livestock shed, when they are menstruating.  As a result, women and girls have been exposed to isolation, extreme temperatures, animal attacks and sexual violence. In 2019, a 21 year old Nepali woman died of suffocation in a windowless “menstruation hut” after she started a fire to keep herself warm.  Her body was discovered by her mother-in-law who said “she was excited about the next day as her menstruation would end.  Poor child closed her eyes forever.”   This tragic incident came just weeks after a mother and her two sons died in a similar shed.  According to the ancient tradition of Chhaupadi, women who have periods or have just given birth are seen...
