A brand I personally trust and frequently recommend, BIOptimers offers an array of excellent products. However, the standout for me is the life-changing "Magnesium Breakthrough," showcased here.

Renowned as the best magnesium supplement, "Magnesium Breakthrough" excels in promoting relaxation and facilitating faster, deeper sleep. Beyond its sleep benefits, magnesium is crucial for a robust immune system and maintaining strong bones. Notably, this particular supplement incorporates all seven types of magnesium, ensuring bioavailability—meaning the body effectively absorbs it for maximum impact.

Clearstem
CLEARSTEM is a revolutionary Skincare Brand committed to zero hormone disruptors or toxins. This game-changing brand excels in both Anti-Aging and Anti-Acne solutions, utilizing real, non-toxic ingredients that don’t clog pores.
Personally, my journey with CLEARSTEM began about six months ago, and the results have been nothing short of remarkable. Battling cystic acne during menopause, I extensively researched solutions and found this brand. The transformation in my skin was almost immediate. What's even better—my teenagers love it too, emphasizing the brand's effectiveness for diverse skin needs.
I love every single product but the two that I cannot be without are:
HYDROGLOW Stem Cell Moisturizer and CLEARITY Serum
And…..you are welcome on this one. xoxo

Little Saints
Little Saints was born during the pandemic by founder Megan Klein as an antidote to drinking too much alcohol and feeling terrible about it.
Megan set out on a quest to create her own solution – a transformative, non-alcoholic drink that would taste like a cocktail, have uplifting functional benefits, and - most importantly of all - make everyone smile.
Formulated by a food scientist holding a Master's degree in adaptogens and enriched by the blessings of a female shaman skilled in medicinal plants, Little Saints' Plant Magic Mocktails boast unique formulations. These one-of-a-kind blends feature CBD, botanical terpenes, and Reishi mushroom extract, all without the inclusion of alcohol or sugar. The result is a collection of beverages crafted to inspire a mood-lifting experience.
While the Paloma blend remains a personal favorite of mine, don't miss the opportunity to explore other fantastic options like the Spicy Margarita, Ginger Mule, and Negroni Spritz—each one is delicious!
