Sustainable Fashion and Eco-Friendly Fashion Practices - Part 1

Hi There! Are you ready for something new?

Composition by Seadbeady

If I’d say, let’s talk about sustainable fashion and eco-friendly options in fashion. Would you keep reading? 😕

Perhaps you would first like to know how I became eco-friendly. Back in the day, when I was just a little troublemaker, my parents were on a mission to save Mother Nature and they made sure I knew it! 😨

Oh man, dropping a paper wrapper from, let’s say, a tasty lollipop was a big no-no in my house! 😬

My parents were like secret agents for the Earth, always sneaking around, waiting to catch me in an environmental slip-up. They’d give me a real talking-to if I dared to mess with Mother Nature. 😭

Ah, perhaps a little exaggerated, but let’s say I had to be sure to be eco-friendly. Still, looking back, I am grateful they taught me how important it was to keep our planet clean. I may have been a mischievous kid, but I sure learned my lesson about messing with Mother Nature! 😢

Ok, you got me. I admit I wasn’t mischievous at all, but I had two sisters who did their utmost best to be better at it than me. I was miss goody two shoes, always doing what was right. Hmm, I had better say almost always. 😏

Still, my upbringing and my love for fashion brought me to the idea of this new blog post about sustainable fashion. 😉

In this wacky world where most of us try to be more eco-friendly, brands have put on ‘their green thinking caps’ and they gave the fashion industry a good shake-up. It’s like they all woke up one day and said; “Hey, let’s make the world a cooler place to live in!” 😘

No, we aren’t all moving to the Northpole, not literally cool, you fool. 😜

Oops, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have said that. Too late, what has been said is said, or is it? 😂

The point is, they’re like fashion superheroes, but instead of capes, they’re rocking those green thinking caps, ready to save the planet one stylish outfit at a time. 😎

It’s like they’ve pressed the reset button on the fashion landscape and are creating a whole new trend: saving the Earth while looking fabulous. So get ready for their vision of sustainability. 😍

Andes Alpaca's Vision on Sustainable Fashion

At Andes Alpaca, we weave together sustainability, craftsmanship, and luxury fashion. Every piece we offer is created by the skilled hands of Andean artisans, preserving ancient weaving and knitting traditions. This people-first, machine-free approach supports local economies and preserves precious cultural heritage.

Our commitment to the environment is reflected in our choice of material: Alpaca wool, sourced from the free-roaming alpacas of the Andes. It's renewable, eco-friendly, and less demanding on water resources than other materials. Plus, our handcrafted pieces are designed to last, counteracting the disposable mindset of fast fashion.

Dressarte's Vision on Sustainable Fashion

Sustainable fashion, also known as eco-friendly or ethical fashion, refers to the practice of designing, producing, distributing, and consuming clothing, accessories, and footwear in a way that minimizes the negative impact on the environment. 

Dressarte is an online service that offers virtual tailoring and styling to create custom-made, sustainable clothing. Dressarte collaborates with fabric mills and utilizes certified luxurious surplus fabrics when producing clothes on demand.

The company is a leading example of how the business can use the latest technologies to reduce waste that goes to landfills. Thanks to 3D design and virtual measurements, the tailoring process is smooth and returns are low. 

By supporting local artisans, Dressarte promotes social responsibility and enhances the well-being of workers and communities involved in the fashion industry. By helping clients design timeless clothes and capsule wardrobes, Dressarte encourages clients to shift away from the fast-paced, disposable fashion culture and encourages mindful consumption and reduction of unnecessary purchases.

Ruby Sampson's Vision on Sustainable Fashion

When I started Ruby Sampson, I was excited just to launch and create a physical manifestation of what was once an idea. However as my brand evolved, I became increasingly uneasy about the full breadth of the fashion industry’s carbon footprint and my participation. 

I decided to embrace digital printing because I could both align production with my eco-conscious values and own every aspect of my manufacturing process. 

Picture provided by Ruby Sampson

Sustainable fashion is a collective call to action, not just for shoppers but also designers, suppliers, and manufacturers. It requires us to stretch beyond cheap labor and quick gratification. Sustainable fashion asks us to align our values with our spending habits and become intentional consumers. 

However, fast fashion isn't on the decline anytime soon. In the face of inflation, consumers are always looking for stylish ways to save. However, for every fast fashion purchase, shoppers should balance the scale with a sustainable fashion purchase. 

I want to express my gratitude to the three brands for their contributions to this blog post. 😍

If you are thinking; "Darn, I wish I would have been in this blog post", no worries. 😉

You can still contact me to share your view in a minimum of 150 words to a maximum of 200 words on how your brand does an effort to contribute to eco-friendly or sustainable fashion. 😃

Hope you like my blog.....Until next time.....Have a nice day

Interview with Fashion Designer Marialexandra Garcia

Hi There! Do you wear activewear, occasionally? What would you say if today I would introduce you to a new fashion designer?

Picture provided by Marialexandra Garcia

https://shopoutplay.com/

She makes special activewear that anyone can wear. It’s all about feeling comfortable and stylish in what you are wearing. Isn’t that cool? 😄

Have you ever worn clothes that didn’t fit quite right and you had to do unexpected exercises in frustration? It’s like a fun workout that comes with trying to make your clothes behave! 😎

You know that moment when you talk to your clothes, saying; “Come on, cooperate!”? It’s like having a hilarious conversation with your outfit! Do you think people do this? I don’t understand it, and I’ve never done it myself. 😦

Oh, don’t be like that! You know I always tell the truth... well, most of the time. Okay, fine, I admit it—On some occasions, I have conversations with my clothes. There, I said it! Happy now? 😒

This quote by someone unknown says it all; “Life is too short to wear clothes that don’t have a sense of humor. Sometimes, having a conversation with your ill-fitting clothes is just the quirky therapy you need to survive the fashion rollercoaster.” 😂

Ok, forget about the rules of fashion! I’m about to introduce you to an amazing fashion designer who is turning the world of activewear upside down. Get ready to meet the creative mastermind behind gender-neutral clothing that is breaking barriers and embracing everyone. 😍

Picture provided by Marialexandra Garcia

What is your name, function, and the company you work for?  

I am the founder and CEO of Outplay. I’m also the designer behind our brand. 

How old are you?

I am 47 years old. 

What kind of work do you do, or what are you studying to be? 

I’m a fashion designer at heart and an entrepreneur at the core. I am the founder and designer behind Outplay, a gender-neutral activewear brand where I make clothing that helps people feel comfortable and confident in their own skin. My work is my passion, which is to make peoples’ lives better through fashion. 

What made you decide to become a Fashion Designer?

I’m not sure when I discovered I wanted to be a fashion designer but I started designing clothing at around the age of 10. When I was 14 I designed and made my first wedding dress and watched it walk down the aisle on a beautiful bride. 

That completely solidified my dream of being a fashion designer. In high school, I designed and made prom dresses and party dresses for my friends so it was no surprise when I chose to go to college to pursue a degree in fashion. 

Is fashion important to you? Why? 

Fashion is seen as unimportant or materialistic by so many. For me, fashion is our way of not only expressing ourselves but it's how we present ourselves to the world. It tells the world the story of who we are, how we feel, and how we choose to present ourselves. Fashion is an art and it's a form of deep personal expression. That is important. 

Fashion is also the way we present ourselves to the world and how we make a first impression. The clothes we wear say a lot about who we are. It doesn’t tell the entire story, but you can say a lot through your clothes. 

Picture provided by Marialexandra Garcia

What are your successes, and how did you achieve them?

Success for me has meant being able to build my business and being able to reach and help so many people with what we do. Building Outplay has been a labor of love and my first success with Outplay was paying for the first production of our revolutionary compression swim tops all through pre-orders on our website when no one even knew who we were. We achieved that by being intentional, knowing who our core customer was, and perfecting our messaging to reach them. 

If awards or accolades are successes, I achieved those through hard work, dedication, being fearless, and knowing the right people to guide me through processes. Every success I’ve had has been a combination of the people I’ve surrounded myself with, believing in myself, lessons learned, and course correction. 

What’s something you might want to do in the future?

I’m always looking for ways to solve people's problems through clothing and I hope to continue to do that for a very long time. 

I would love to work on making our clothing much more sustainable and toxic-free, which in the activewear industry is still not perfect and has a long way to go.  

I’m not sure if I will ever do anything outside of the garment industry, but if I do, I’d love to work within the natural and health world. I believe being healthy, combining soul, mind, and body is the best way to live a balanced and healthy life and I would love to explore ways to contribute to the world through that in some way. 

Is the name of the Brand important to you when you buy clothing or jewelry?

Maybe not necessarily the name of the brand but more the people and mission behind a brand or company that is truly important to me. I believe we vote with our wallets so I try to be as conscious as possible when spending my hard-earned money with brands that align with my beliefs. 

I look for brands that are made properly, last a long time, make their garments out of quality materials, and that are made under reputable and honest processes that are safe for all involved. It's hard because it's not easy to find information on all brands, but if I can and I am able to find more information on a brand, I take the time and later show my support (or not) with my purchases. 

Describe your personal style of fashion?

Personally, I am very classic and simple, and I tend to overdress a lot of times. I’m not going to wear an evening gown to a pool party but when my friends are in flip-flops and shorts, I tend to be in a sundress and heels. 

On the other hand, I love just being in an Outplay sports bra and leggings all day, ready for a yoga set in the middle of the day to get me up from work, or a long walk at the end of the day to blow off some stress. 

 

How did you find your personal style? Do you have a signature look? 

My personal style must have come from a combination of my mom and the designers I looked up to, like Carolina Herrera, Oscar De La Renta, and Angel Sanchez. I grew up in a very Venezuelan household, but lived in different countries and cultures (we moved around a lot due to my dad’s job) so I think I combined a lot of what I saw, with who I was becoming as a teenager and then a young adult and slowly made it my own. 

My signature look is definitely a bow or a ruffle. I love bows and I love ruffles. Big sleeves and a little bow to tie the cuffs, or a simple ponytail with a small ribbon tied into a bow. Chanel always said you should look in the mirror before going out and take one thing off. I take 2-3 things off and leave the bow (or ruffle).

Picture provided by Marialexandra Garcia

Do you have an influence on other people’s fashion style?

I want to think I do. I have had some influence on my daughter’s fashion style as she’s grown into having her own. She isn’t a fan of bows or ruffles but you can see where she gets her slightly off-beat color combination or her military boots/sleek party dress combo comes from.  

As someone who has always been around fashion and in the garment industry in one way or another, from a very early age, my friends automatically think of me when they need fashion advice, or have any questions about clothing, so I guess I have had some influence on those closest to me and their fashion style. 

When it comes to my company, I’d like to think I have some influence on our customer’s style. Maybe not in the way I can influence my daughter or a close friend, but with how comfortable they can feel in their clothing, and how, what they wear, can give them the freedom to be themselves. That’s the best influence I can have on anyone when it comes to fashion. Giving people the freedom to be themselves. 

What are in your eyes the best trends at the moment?

There are fewer and fewer big trends nowadays. Fashion is no longer dictated by magazines or designers but more by what subcultures and groups of people prefer to wear. 

There are groups of people where the trend is to wear a lot of big label brand logos all over, while there are groups of people that dress in oversized hoodies and baggy pants. 

Then there are those who love the natural tone, skin-tight clothing trend. The best trend I see that I hope is here to stay and not a trend, after all, is that of people wearing what they love, what makes them feel comfortable and themselves, and not something dictated by someone else. Although.. is TikTok the new Vogue?

 

What are in your eyes the worst trends at the moment?

The hot hoodie that is worn in hot weather, I mean, why? Yes, it’s a thing teenagers wear, and graphic hoodies are mostly worn by a lot of teenagers, but when it's 90 degrees, do you really need to be in a hoodie and have your entire head and half your face covered? It just makes me uncomfortable looking at these teens in Miami weather in thick sweaters. 

What kind of fashion advice would you give us?

I think the best advice I can give anyone when it comes to fashion is to be yourself. Don’t try to wear something just because your friends or so-and-so are wearing it. 

Don’t wear something that’s big on TikTok if it makes you feel uncomfortable. Like I always tell my customers, if you’re uncomfortable or not feeling yourself on the inside, it's going to show on the outside. 

There’s nothing more fashionable and attractive in a person than self-confidence. And if fashion can help you gain that self-confidence, go for it. If it doesn’t serve you, get rid of it. 

Who is your style icon, and why?

Oh my gosh, this is a hard question to answer. I absolutely LOVE Gwen Stephanie’s style and fashion sense. Although I would never wear what she wears the same way. Her eclectic pattern and color combinations with her mix of sportswear and formal pieces. And her shoes… LAMB was a brand that made shoes I would have bought entire collections from. 

At the same time, I think Jackie O was a style icon that will persist for decades. I would wear almost everything she ever wore myself. Her simplicity and elegance are just iconic in every way.  Jackie O wore everything with such ease regardless of it being a Valentino gown or a pair of khaki slacks and ballet slippers. 

Is there something else you would like to share with us?

I think fashion should be fun, it should be a representation of who you are. I believe you should feel free to wear what you want and how you want to wear it regardless of what society deems is correct or in style or not. I think being yourself and expressing that through your clothing is a beautiful form of expression and it should be celebrated. Fashion should be enjoyed.

Thank you, Marialexandra, for taking part in my makeup artist interview. I love the style of your activewear, and I have to admit it looks good both on men and women. 😍

Popcorn Maker Delights - Elevating Homemade Popcorn to Perfection

Hi There! Are you ready for a kernel-poppin good time and making homemade popcorn in the Gadgy Popcorn Maker?

Picture by Seadbeady

https://slaapwijsheid.nl/

Microwave popcorn. We've all been there, eagerly waiting for those kernels to explode, only to end up with a bag of sadness. It's like watching a movie with a disappointing plot twist. 😕

I've had my share of both non-popping corns and movies with plot twists that make you go, "Wait, what?!" 😲

Before I tell you more about this homemade popcorn maker, let me share a little secret with you. I've been around the block a few times, and let's just say I'm no longer in my prime. 😁

I've reached that stage in life where I can't quite decide if I'm more of a fall chicken, still vibrant and colorful, or if I'm leaning towards winter, with a touch of frost on my feathers. 😨

Life's full of uncertainties, but one thing's for sure—I've got plenty of stories to tell! 😁

Picture this: me, in the kitchen, wielding a pot and balancing an asbestos plate on a gas stove. It was like a funny circus act, with popcorn flying and a few eyebrows getting singed. Who needs a movie when you can create your own slapstick masterpiece in the kitchen? 😂

Ok, that's somewhat exaggerated. The only accidents that happened were inside the pot with burned popcorn. 😄

That's all in the past, so grab your popcorn-enthusiast squad, dim the lights, and get ready to munch on some seriously delicious homemade popcorn. Time to test the Gadgy Popcorn maker, I received in exchange for my honest opinion, from Slaapwijsheid - Slaap Beter, Slimmer & Dieper. 😍

About the Gadgy Popcorn Maker

Are you looking for a way to make crispy and tasty popcorn, just like in the cinema? The Gadgy Popcornmaker produces delicious popcorn easily and quickly! Your friends and family will love it when they are visiting for a birthday or a movie evening!

Ready in 3 minutes

You don't have to preheat the machine and only need 3 minutes to prepare 130 grams (5 liters of popcorn), enough for the whole family and for every party! During the popcorn-making process, keep the top's black cap off to allow proper ventilation for the warm air! When the popcorn is ready, you can put the black cap on and remove the bowl by turning it 180 degrees. As a result, you'll have the popcorn conveniently placed in a bowl, featuring heat-resistant handles on the side.

Picture by Seadbeady

Silent and evenly heated

The popcorn machine operates with minimal noise. The stirring rod evenly distributes the corn (and butter) across the machine's surface, guaranteeing that all the popcorn is heated thoroughly and ready simultaneously. For proper heat distribution, it is important not to preheat the machine, and the black cap should only be placed on the bowl after the popcorn is popped.

Easy to clean and store

The popcorn maker is very easy to clean because of the non-stick coating and the design makes it very easy to store.

For the whole family

Ideal for the whole family. Perfect for a movie night, a snack to offer your visitors, or just for yourself because it is delicious!

Picture by Seadbeady

Add tastes

You can add butter, syrup, sugar, salt, or herbs after you have put the corn inside the machine. You can even put the butter in the container on the machine, where it will melt and fall on top of the popcorn. The popcorn machine disperses it over the popcorn.

Features

- Stil in use

- Easy to clean thanks to the non-stick coating

- Easy to store thanks to the smart design

- Handles are heat resistant

- Popcorn is ready in 3 minutes

- The upper part of the machine can be used as a bowl

- All flavors and herbs can be added to the machine

- 800 Watt

- 220-240 Volt

My opinion on the Gadgy Popcorn Maker

Using the machine is a piece of cake. It's also easy to assemble. There's very little that can go wrong with that. With a flick of a switch, the machine works its magic. 😁

With a maximum capacity of 130 grams of corn, this popcorn maker can produce a generous amount of homemade popcorn, making it perfect for larger servings. The best part is, you can make any version of popcorn you want, low-sugar, low-fat,... 😋

Also, while it is crucial to follow the instructions in the user manual, which recommend leaving the popcorn in the machine for an extra 10 to 20 seconds after all the corn has popped before rotating the baking tray with the bowl to prevent potential injuries, it is worth noting that, in my personal experience, even just a 10-second wait can sometimes lead to the popcorn layer sticking and burning on the non-stick plate. 😕

Cleaning the popcorn maker is a breeze, even if you've used oil or butter, as it can be easily and quickly cleaned. Just take care when handling the non-stick plate, treating it similarly to how you would treat a non-stick pan. 😄

Gone are the days of uncertainty and risk when using my non-transparent pot for popcorn. Now, I can confidently wait for my homemade popcorn to be ready without the need to shake the pot or worry about burning the kernels. 😍

Oh yes, before I forget, it tastes like the real thing. 😋

Interview With Makeup Artist Bobbie Riley

Hi There! Are you a fan of great makeup looks? Would a new makeup artist interview appeal to you?

Picture provided by Bobbie Riley

https://www.bobbierileybeauty.com/

Watch as brushes create magic with color on faces! Yes, that’s an order. I am not joking. Sit down and read! 😈

Did it work? Did you listen? Tell me in the comments, because otherwise, I’ll never know. 😩

Would you be so cruel as to keep me wondering for the rest of my days whether you scrolled on to read about the makeup looks in this next makeup artist interview? Questions need to be answered, don’t you agree? 😦

That brings back a memory of a significant question my husband and I had when our children were teenagers. I’m sure many of you have experienced a situation where someone rings your doorbell and then runs away. 😁

It’s not too strange, unless it happens almost every day, both during the day and at night. Indeed, even during the late hours of the night. That’s why we were confident it wasn’t our children playing tricks on us since they were vast asleep. 😍

The truth finally came out just a few days ago, almost 15 years later. At a family dinner, our kids confessed they had made an agreement with the neighborhood kids to ring our doorbell whenever they saw the chance. 😲

In hindsight, I can tell you there were some truly ridiculous moments when we would rush to the window in the middle of the night to see who it could be. 😂

Enough about me. Grab your favorite lipstick and prepare for a wild ride! We're about to dive into a world where faces become masterpieces, where makeup is the ultimate magic trick, and laughter is the best highlighter. 😊

What is your name, function, and the company you work for?  

A: My name is Bobbie Riley. I’m a Makeup Artist and I work for myself, Bobbie Riley Beauty! 

 

How old are you?

A: I’m 28 years old and I began my career at 17 

 

What kind of work do you do, or what are you studying to be? 

 A: Mostly Commercial, editorial, and film 

 

What made you decide to become a Makeup Artist?

A: Well, I was kind of pushed into it. I never saw it as a career but more as a hobby… I actually didn’t really know I could make a career out of it at first. 

 

Is beauty important to you? Why?

A: Beauty is very important to me, but more in the way of the inner beauty that radiates from us because it holds power in a feminine sense. 

 

Picture provided by Bobbie Riley

What are your successes, and how did you achieve them?

A: Honestly, to be working with the clients/brands I do now is just so next level…little me is bursting (haha). I achieved them through perseverance, practice & creating my wave when nobody believed in my work or how far I could take this, I had to!… working in the industry definitely required a ton of blind faith. 

 

What’s something you might want to do in the future?

A: Create products, do more in the education field, and give back to other artists somehow as artists before me have given to me! 

 

Is the name of the Brand important to you when you buy make-up?

A: it’s not the name of the brand but the quality that matters to me most.

 

Describe your personal make-up style?

A: I love a natural beauty honestly… I like to keep my glam pretty soft so I’m pretty intense with my skincare routine daily and nightly. One of my besties, Elle, upkeeps my lash extensions, which makes it easier to just throw on a little concealer, foundation, blush, a lip and just keep it moving! 

How did you find your personal style? Do you have a signature makeup look? 

A: Sheesh, well, it’s definitely grown over time, as my makeup experience did. At first, I laid it on thick but as I’ve become more comfortable with my features, I have embraced the natural me and I love to let her shine through my makeup look. So you’d typically find me with a little pop in the eye and a very clean editorial look. 

 

Picture provided by Bobbie Riley

Do you have an influence on other people’s makeup or clothing style?

A: That’s a significant question. I don’t really look at whom I influence or who's following, so I don’t know. I just go with what feels good and what makes me feel stylish & beautiful. 

 

What are in your eyes the best trends at the moment?

A: My favorite trends lately are bushy brows, blonde brows, sun-kissed blush on the cheeks/nose, dewy editorial skin, over glossed lip/eye, the cool festival eye decals & cut crease eyes. 

 

What in your eyes are the worst trends at the moment?

A: Cringing, (while I say it because I know everyone else is really into it) I am just not very into the 20s thin brow…. There are very few occasions I’d want to throw it into the look. Too many layers of foundation or a hyper highlighted under eye. 

 

What kind of beauty advice would you give us?

A: Take care of your skin and wear sunscreen. The better health your skin is in, the better the makeup will look and sit. 

 

Who is your style icon and why?

A: Agh, my style icon for like ever has been Rihanna. I love how she mixes girly with a tomboy flare! There’s always something odd but satisfying added to her looks, whether it’s crazy, sexy, cool, or all three! 

 

Is there something else you would like to share with us?

A: Thank you for having me. It’s always fun to share my beauty thoughts!

Thank you so much, Bobbie, for taking part in my makeup artist interview. I also love those cut crease eyes, but it's evident that your skills in creating makeup looks far surpass mine. 😉

Revitalize Your Self-Care Routine with the BeReal Jade Eye Mask

Hi There! Are you someone who values self-care and wellness? 

Let me tell you some more about the Jade eye mask from BeRealwear (they ship to UK and USA only) a friend of mine sent me.

Picture by Seadbeady

https://berealwear.com/products/jade-eye-mask

As we all know, life can be a wild rollercoaster ride. It’s filled with endless to-do lists and responsibilities that make self-care feel like an elusive dream. 😢

That’s sad, isn’t it, but here’s a little joke to add a sprinkle of laughter: Why did the self-care guru bring an eye mask to the rollercoaster? Because he knew how to “ride the waves” of life in style, even in the wildest loops and twists! 😂

Well, I suppose our bodies are like smartphones—we can’t live in low-battery mode forever! It’s time to plug in, recharge, and unleash our inner superpowers. I wonder though which body part this plug-in might be. 😏

Imagine a special place where you can get away from all the chaos and enjoy complete peace. I truly wonder if such a place even exists. 😦

Still, BeReal Skin and Beyond understands this perfectly. That’s why they created a range of fantastic products to help you relax, reconnect, and regain energy. These amazing products will give you a boost and help you find a sense of calm and tranquility. 😊

With their eye mask and self-care tips by your side, you’ll be ready to conquer any obstacle that comes your way with a cool and collected mind. Time to put on your imaginary cape, strike a superhero pose, and get ready to conquer the world with the power of self-care! 😉

JADE EYE-MASK

The Cool Touch of Jade:

Jade stone, long revered in various cultures for its healing properties, offers a naturally cool sensation when applied to the skin. Unlike synthetic materials, jade provides a refreshing touch that helps to soothe and relax facial muscles instantly. Imagine the sensation of a cool breeze gently caressing your skin as you indulge in a moment of tranquility.

A Treat for Your Eyes:

To enhance the refreshing experience, you can place the jade eye mask in the fridge for a few minutes before use. Cooling the mask intensifies its soothing effects, making it an extra special treat for your eyes. When you wear the chilled jade eye mask, the delicate skin around your eyes will feel invigorated and rejuvenated, providing relief from fatigue, stress, and tension.

Soothes and Relaxes Facial Muscles:

The jade eye mask's gentle pressure and coolness work in harmony to alleviate tension and relax facial muscles. Whether you're dealing with a long day at work or simply want to unwind, this mask can offer a spa-like experience in the comfort of your own home. By wearing it for just a few minutes, you'll notice a significant reduction in facial muscle tightness and an overall feeling of calmness.

Reduces Puffiness and Wrinkles:

One of the most coveted benefits of using a jade eye mask is its ability to minimize puffiness and diminish the appearance of wrinkles. The cool temperature of the jade helps to constrict blood vessels, reducing inflammation and puffiness around the eyes. Additionally, the gentle massaging effect of the mask stimulates blood circulation, promoting a healthy and youthful complexion.

A Holistic Approach to Beauty:

Beyond its cosmetic benefits, the use of a jade eye mask aligns with a holistic approach to beauty and well-being. Incorporating self-care rituals into our daily lives not only improves our physical appearance, but also nurtures our mental and emotional health. The act of taking time for oneself, coupled with the soothing properties of jade, can create a serene space where you can find balance and rejuvenation.

My opinion on the eye-mask

I found that using this jade eye mask is a great way to relax and refresh your face. When I touched it at first, I thought it didn't feel so cold, but it does when you put it on your eyes. 😎

It's even better when you put it in your fridge for a few minutes, especially when it's 30°C, like here in Belgium at the moment. 😅

Perhaps I am biased, but it gave me an instant sense of calmness, and I felt my muscles relax. Almost makes me fall asleep again when I put it on as I wake up. 😴

You can also use it mid-way through your skincare routine. As you know, always wash your face first (blah-blah-blah), and then apply your go-to eye cream. 😃

Then you throw on the stone eye mask and let it sit for about 15 minutes. It's the perfect time to scare your family members with your "rocking" new look! 😁
