Lafe’s Award Winning Natural BodyCare Massive #Giveaway


I was thrilled when Lafe's Natural BodyCare reached out to me to test out some of their products and also share a great big giveaway with you guys!

Lafe's is a family-owned, personal care company that believes in conscious living for a balanced & fulfilling life. They believe that what you put into your body is just as important as what you put on your body and I couldn't agree more. Their award-winning products are all-natural, non-toxic, and cruelty-free! They are also an eco-friendly brand that gives back to the community through their 1% Project. They donate 1% of the profit from every sale to support breast cancer prevention and environmental awareness!

Lafe's products are not only effective and natural, but they are affordable, too! Lafe's natural and organic personal care products do not contain, and will never contain toxic ingredients. They are also a cruelty-free brand and are Leaping Bunny Certified! 🐰

We have spent the last few weeks testing out many of their products and they get two thumbs up from this household! We haven't found a dud in the bunch.


LAFE’S NATURAL HANDCRAFTED SOOTHE BAR SOAP- $5.49

This all-natural and vegan soap is made with plant-based oils and is free of harmful chemicals. I'm partial to the lavender as I find the scent so soothing and relaxing and it's not overpowering at all. It just gives me and my shower a soft beautiful lavender scent and gives me that spa feeling. My partner loves the Tea Tree for its fresh scent and antibacterial properties. These bars do a great job at cleansing while hydrating at the same time. 


LAFE’S ORGANIC & NATURAL NON-NANO TINTED LIP BALMS-  $3.49-$4.99

Lafe has both USDA-certified organic lip balms as well as 100% natural non-nano mineral-tinted lip balms (my favourite!). These products are made with organic botanicals and oils and they are super hydrating. I'm more of a tinted lip balm kind of gal over lipstick for everyday use. These are hydrating and add just a hint of colour and shimmer to the lips. The tinted balms are available in 3 shades and add just a hint of colour. They are perfect for everyday wear, are super-hydrating, and add a nice sheen to lips making them look hydrated and plump.


LAFE'S NATURAL DEODORANTS- $4.49-$7.99

Lafe's award-winning deodorants come in a large variety of scents and styles. Whether you like a stick formula, spray, or roll-on, Lafe's has you covered. My favourite is the Soothe with Lavender and Aloe in the stick formula, the scent is so fabulous I could just breathe it in all day! I found that the roll-on and spray worked just as well, and the spray formula doesn't sting my skin after shaving like some other deodorant sprays that I've tried. This has become my favourite natural deodorant as they truly keep odour at bay! My hubby's favourite is the Extra Strength Stick formula but he also keeps the spray version at work for a quick refresh. I had the pleasure of being the one to do the sniff test on him after he finished a full day of work after using these products and I was surprised that I could barely detect any stink whatsoever! πŸ˜ƒ

All of the deodorants come in a number of fabulous scents as well as unscented versions, so there is something for everyone. They are also sold in multi-packs for extra savings.

Stick formula Features:
  • 24-hour protection
  • 2.5 oz, perfect deodorant for traveling

They leave my skin soft, hydrated, and they rinse clean, so there's no residue. Unlike foaming products that use SLS and harsh, toxic cleansing agents, these foaming cleansers are not drying because they don't contain any of those harsh chemicals. Instead, they are loaded with natural and hydrating ingredients that leave you anything but dry!

Is Beauty Sleep a Real Thing? Plastic Surgeon explains how to anti-age while you snooze

RESEARCH SHOWS THAT BEAUTY SLEEP IS A REAL THING!
PLASTIC SURGEON EXPLAINS HOW TO MAXIMIZE YOUR ZZZ’s


When it comes to your beauty routine, very few things are free, but sleep costs nothing and may be the closest thing to a fountain of youth. Dr. Manish Shah is a Board-Certified Denver, Colorado plastic surgeon.  A 2017 study found that two days of sleep restriction negatively affected participant’s perceived attractiveness, health, sleepiness, and trustworthiness. Dr. Shah explains that, “Your body repairs itself and recovers while you sleep, and that results in a long list of benefits for anti-aging and appearance.”  Most experts agree that 7-9 hours a night is ideal.  It’s time to maximize your shut eye for anti-aging.

Here are Dr. Manish Shah’s Tips for Beauty Sleep
Sleep on Your Back
“Sleeping on your stomach or on of your sides means there is constant pressure on your face. Over time, this action will produce unwanted sleep lines. You can remedy this by sleeping on your back,” says Dr. Shah. This way you will not apply any pressure to your face. For many people though, this might be uncomfortable, and you can't control your involuntary sleep movement leading you to a side or stomach position. You can practice and can get used to it over time.
Use an overnight product and put a glass of water on your bedside table
Washing your face can dry it out and sleeping can also dehydrate skin, especially if you snooze in a low-humidity environment. While staying hydrated by drinking water can help to some extent, what your skin really needs at night is a topical moisturizer. For a more supercharged product, try an overnight sleeping mask such as https://brazilianskin.com/collections/all-product/products/acai-triple-stem-cell-complex-mask This is an Acai Triple Stem Cell Complex for $59.99.  Potent AΓ§ai Triple Stem Cell Complex Mask is an overnight mask application crafted with an innovative, breathable, and nourishing film ingredient that functions as a transdermal penetration medium to facilitate the complete absorption of the “Grams Triple Stem Cell Complex.”
Pillowcases Make A Difference
Dr. Shah explains that, “While facial creasing has a lot to do with sleep positioning, a change in pillowcase might be the answer. There are numerous benefits of silk for good sleep. Silk pillowcases are a great way to wake up creaseless in the morning. The smooth texture of silk is gentler than cotton and may help prevent sleep wrinkles, as well as reduce skin irritation. Its tightly woven fibers also don’t draw out moisture and natural oils as cotton does, leaving your skin better hydrated.”
Stay away from salty foods and alcohol around bedtime.
If you're craving a midnight snack or drink, be mindful. While some foods, a light, carb snack like crackers or an apple, can actually help your sleep, many others can disrupt your sleep and wreak havoc on your appearance. Alcohol and salty food can have a dehydrating effect on the body. To compensate, your body starts collecting natural fluids around the eyes, among other places, leading to that dreaded puffy-eye look. Dehydration is claimed to lead to formation of dark circles under the eyes.
Wear your hair up — but not in a tight bun.
It's a good idea to keep your hair out of your face while you're sleeping to keep its natural oils from wreaking havoc on your complexion. But avoid pulling it into a really tight bun or ponytail because that can cause hair breakage, especially around the hairline. Dr. Shah suggests wrapping it up in a scarf (silk would be ideal).
Keep makeup remover by the bed
“No matter how tired/drunk you are, going to bed with your makeup on will only be worse the morning after (clogged pores, irritated eyes, oily residue etc.). Make it less of a chore by keeping some good-quality face wipes by the bed for a fast, effective cleanse. It's not ideal to rely on convenience cloths every night in place of a deeper clean, but on late nights they're skin saviors, says Dr. Shah.
Wear A Silk Sleep Mask
Avoiding light when you sleep is crucial to getting quality rest. Dr. Shah explains that “An eye mask completely eliminates vulnerability to light, preventing it from interfering with your sleep. For the best results, use a silk eye mask. Since skin is susceptible to wrinkling, make sure that the material pressing against your face is as soft as possible.”
Keep the Temperature Low
At night, your body’s natural temperature declines. Keeping the temperature in your bedroom low is good for both your metabolism and your blood flow. Dr. Shah explains that “This is important because improving your blood flow helps oxygenate your skin, keeping it plump and even-toned for the day ahead. Maintaining a cool temperature in your bedroom will also help reduce redness in your skin.” The National Sleep Foundation recommends keeping your bedroom between 60 and 67 degrees Fahrenheit for an optimal night’s sleep.
