WASHINGTON, D.C., USA — Happy Spring!
The flowers are blooming, the days are getting longer, and eventually it will get warmer! Now is the perfect time for Spring refresh!
I’ve gathered some great and innovative products for you to check out that can help you feel better overall! Everything from brightening up the mood in our home, to better-for-you bread for make those lunches or hamburgers, to getting moving more and making sure we are getting the best night’s sleep!
Let’s start with keeping warm!
Yes, it may be Springtime, but it can still be quite chilly outside! However, you don’t need those heavy vests or coats anymore. Sometimes you just need a little something. How about a warm hug?
The Puffer Hug 418 scarf is a twofer – scarf and vest! You can wear it under a coat for an extra layer of warmth or by itself when you just need a little! This lightweight and versatile 2-in-1 design can transform from a cozy scarf to a vest in a snap.
It features a built-in hidden zipper pocket to keep belongings secure, two oversized fleece-lined pockets to keep hands warm and includes a heart keychain tucked into the left pocket to show extra love!
It comes in 5 colors – black, blue, green, grey and red!
Plus, if you “get a hug” you will “give a hug” – 15% all sales are donated to children’s mental health programs nationwide

Lumineux ®
When we look good, we feel good right? It is amazing how a beautiful, white smile can boost our confidence and how a confident smile can boost our well being.
I want to share with you a brand that I was recently introduced to and have become obsessed with. Having a bright smile is something I take seriously but… I do love my morning (and afternoon) coffee! (and maybe some red wine on the weekends!)
Lumineux® is a body of clinically proven and rigorously tested products that neutralize the mouth’s harmful toxins while maintaining its natural ecosystem. It is the first Microbiome Safe® and certified non-toxic oral care company in the world. Their natural oral care products are backed by more than 60 scientific studies.
Their most popular product is the Lumineux® Whitening Strips. These Strips are the best-selling whitening product on Amazon with over 16,000 reviews. They whiten teeth incredibly well without the sensitivity! And if that’s not enough, they taste great and are easy to use.
I have personally been using Lumineux® Whitening Toothpaste and the Whitening Mouthwash and definitely notice a difference with the appearance of my teeth!
The mouthwash and toothpaste don’t contain harsh abrasives to remove stains. Instead, they use ingredients like coconut oil and Dead Sea salt to whiten without sensitivity.
Lumineux® has a variety of whitening products including electric toothbrushes! It’s a brand that is definitely worth a try.

Plants for Pet Parents
I love seeing the flowers blooming this time of year, and all the greenery coming back to life! One of my goals this year was brighten up my home with more plants and greenery! However, I never know what the best plants are to buy considering we have a new puppy in the house who of course has to sniff and chew everything!
I was introduced to this company called Plants for Pet Parents and go so excited once I started to learn more about them!
Plants for Pet Parents is an AAPI woman-owned small business. The owner, Katherine, loves house plants but was worried for the safety of her senior dog, Watson! (You can learn more about Katherine’s story here!)
So Katherine set out to build Plants for Pet Parents and all of their gorgeous greenery is non-toxic to dogs and cats so you can leave the house confident in your pets’ safety.
They have air plants, trailing plants, tabletop plants and sustainable home and garden accessories. I recently got the Calathea Peacock Plant in one of their 3D printed pots! It sits right on my windowsill and love how well it is thriving!
Houseplants contribute to cleaner indoor air which creates a healthier environment for you and your pets!

Hero Bread
How does this sound? White bread with ZERO net carbs, Zero grams of sugar, 5 grams of protein, 11 grams of fiber in one slice AND it tastes great?
You don’t have to give up your sandwiches or hamburger buns or tortillas if you're trying to eat better!
Hero Bread can help! It gives you a combination of proteins and fibers like wheat and fava beans to replace traditional flour. Hero products look, taste, smell, and feel just like the “real” flour-based foods you’re used to because they are also completely real - made the same traditional way using four key ingredient components and none of the “bad stuff.”
Hero Bread is backed by a roster of powerhouse investors, including Tom Brady, The Weekend, and Kevin Durant. Hero offers several deliciously low-carb bread products, including tortillas, croissants, biscuits, sliced white bread, seeded bread, burger buns, hot dog buns, and brioche rolls.

Alpha Skin Care
Let's keep going with the good-for-us stuff! We're getting nutrients inside our bodies but we can't forget about taking care of our skin on the outside.
Alpha Skin Care has been creating simple, effective skincare for over 30 years. They have something for many different skin care needs.
I like Alpha Skin Care's Essential Renewal lotion. A must for healthy, younger-looking skin, this lotion is formulated with 10% Glycolic Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) to gently release dead skin cells revealing.
Glycolic AHA is an ingredient derived from natural sugar cane which helps reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles for a younger-looking you. Glycolic AHAs work naturally to gently lift away dead skin cells so new healthy skin can emerge and reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles. Vitamins and nutrients moisturize and soothe your skin while anti-aging ingredients work to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles.
You can find Alpha Skin Care's products on Amazon.

Manta Sleep Mask
Now let's talk about one of the most important parts of our wellness routines... SLEEP!
The Manta Sleep Mask can help you deepen your slumber so you feel revived in the morning.
This mask provides 100% blackout for maximized sleep quality! Just a pinprick of light can disrupt REM and deep sleep, leading to post-sleep tiredness. That’s why Manta perfectly covers and conforms to the eyes to block 100% of light, even in broad daylight.
The eye covers' position, angle and strap tightness are adjustable so you can get a personalized-for-your-face fit. What I like even more about the Manta Sleep Mask is it conforms around my eye but it's not putting pressure on my eyelids or my eyelashes, so it's super comfy.
Retails for $35 on Amazon and at mantasleep.com
I hope you find something in this list that helps you reach your wellness goals. If you have a product you would like me to feature, please email me at kberset@wusa9.com
