¡Feliz Cinco de Mayo Para Todos!


🌸🌼 Spring is in full bloom, and we hope you are enjoying the season to the fullest! 🌸🌼

We have some alarming news to share with you about children's bedding, and we want to help make a positive change. That's why we are excited to offer you a chance to win up to $5,000 worth of new, children's organic products from White Lotus Home for free! 😱

Why is the Pando family, (owners of WLH) doing this?

Growing up with limited means in Callao, Peru, our beautiful and loving mom had 5 of us children, whom she raised in the most tender, green, and healthy way possible. I, Marlon (President), Elizabeth (VP), and Lily (Wife) would love to help parents raise their children in the most loving and chemical-free home possible by helping children sleep without the worries of CHEMICALS in their mattresses. After talking to so many of you in the last 20 years, we see how non-organic bedding has affected so many children. 

Too often, are the times that our customers need to change their entire children’s bedding products, to reduce allergic or chemical reactions they may be exposed to otherwise.

The 100% proof I can personally share, is that 19 years ago, when I started working at White Lotus Home, I moved to New Jersey and had immediate allergic reactions to many of the local trees. After 18 years of sleeping ONLY on WLH sleeping products, most of my allergic reactions are gone. I promise! I was allergic to pollen and local treas as well as shrimp, crab, and lobster, and no longer are. I used to take strong medication during this time of the year so that I could not drive a vehicle for the next few hours after each pill. Now, I may take one over-the-counter pill for a week or so and I am good to go. I would love to share more about what else I did/do to help me get here later on, or please reply and ask.  😎 

One of the saddest recent research concluded: Dr. Brandon E. Boor said, “A baby’s exposure to chemical contaminants in their crib mattresses can be amplified since they sleep for 12 to 14 hours every day and inhale air just inches above the mattress surface, where the concentrations of the VOCs can be about twice as high as standing just a few feet away.”

Got a Pain in the Neck? 😣 There’s a KaPillow for that! 💤

 

Spilling the Tea ☕ on Contour Pillows

We took a hard look at conventional contour pillows and found some surprising discoveries that we’ll tell you all about. 

     

In today’s issue:

  • 3 big problems with conventional contour pillows
  • Some toxins commonly found in memory foam that everyone should be aware of
  • Take 20% off any pillow of your choice!

 

Contour Pillows

The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly

Contour pillows have gained popularity in recent years, and it’s for good reason. They offer a number of incredible benefits, like:

  • Spinal alignment 
  • Relief from pain, soreness, and stiffness
  • Support for your neck, head, and shoulder

But there are a handful of BIG problems with many of the conventional contour pillows out there. 

  • They’re not adjustable. Once you bought one, you were stuck with its shape and firmness.
  • They’re synthetic. Most conventional contour pillows are made of materials like memory foam which could contain any number of potentially toxic chemicals. For example, diisocyanates are chemicals commonly used in memory foam that can irritate the mouth, nose, and eyes, and TDI, in particular, may be carcinogenic.
  • They’re expensive! Despite being one shape and firmness and potentially packed with toxic chemicals, you could break the bank buying one! 

When we started exploring the design of contour pillows at White Lotus Home a few years ago, we knew we had to create a solution to this problem… 

And that’s precisely what we did. 

A pillow designed with you in mind that’s all-natural, completely adjustable, and even costs LESS than its competitors…

Please meet... The KaPillow

The KaPillow’s design is simple. It’s a soft, organic cotton sateen casing, filled with our natural Kapok fiber with a half-seam in the center, creating a dip for your head, and leaving a lip on either side to support your neck. 

Unlike typical contour pillows, we made our KaPillow easy to adjust because we know just how important it is for the firmness and shape to be just right. 

To adjust your KaPillow, you can simply unzip the case and add or remove filling as you see fit until it’s perfect for you! 

 

Ready to Kick Neck Pain and Toxic Chemicals to the Curb? ✌

Treat yourself to an all-natural contour pillow that’s affordable, effective, and completely adjustable. You deserve it!

ANY pillow of your choice!

10 Ways to Improve Sleep!

10 Ways to Improve Sleep!

10 Ways You Can Get Better Sleep  

It's 7:00 AM and your alarm goes off. It went off ten minutes ago, but you couldn't pull yourself out of bed. You still feel like you can't, so you hit the snooze button one more time, roll over, and pray your coffee maker was set correctly the night before so you can get some caffeine in your system ASAP. 

Sound familiar? When it comes to modern day living, sleep can feel like a scarce commodity. We often go through our days already exhausted right off the starting line.

Sometimes improving the quality of your sleep means making a few lifestyle adjustments and taking a good look at what you're sleeping on every night. Here are 10 ways you can get back to giving your body and mind the rest they need to wake up feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and ready to go in the morning.   

  1. Exercise 
    While exercise is a great way to help relieve any tension, stress, and anxiety that may be keeping you up at night, getting a good work out in can physiologically improve your sleep too. Exercise can trigger longer periods of slow-wave sleep which is the deepest and most restorative phase of sleep you can get each night. Still not enough to get you to the gym? Polls have found that people who exercise regularly, even if they don’t get any more sleep than those who don’t, actually report better quality of sleep which means they wake up feeling better than their non-exercising counterparts. Go break a sweat!

  2. Find the Perfect Pillow 
    Do you wake up feeling like your neck is stiff in the middle of the night? Maybe your shoulder hurts from laying on it, and you toss and turn frequently. These problems can be solved by finding the perfect pillow. It may take a little experimentation before you find the right fit, but once you do, your body will thank you.  

  3. Clean Up Your Diet 
    It's probably not much of a surprise that the pizza you ate yesterday wasn't sitting well by the time you brushed your teeth before bed. Ditch inflammatory foods, sugar, and anything else that could be causing sleep disturbances like acid reflux and indigestion for a better rest. 

  4. Reduce Stress
    Feeling a little worried about that project that's due early next week? From work to relationships to difficulties with finances, reducing stress is often easier said than done. You might have to think outside the box a little, but coming up with ways you can change your lifestyle to reduce stress can help rest your mind and relax your body when it's time for sleep. 

  5. Cut The Caffeine 
    No one wants to hear that they should give up their morning java, especially if they're already feeling like they need a jump start. But if you're having sleep trouble, it's important to consider reducing your caffeine consumption, particularly within 6 hours of bedtime. You might not notice a difference right away, but if you dodge caffeine for a few days, you'll probably find you're sleeping better. 

  6. Use a High-Quality, All-Natural Mattress 
    Cheaping out on your mattress purchase means you could be cheating yourself out of some invaluable, high-quality sleep time. When shopping for a mattress, it's important to find one that's made from all-natural materials so that you can avoid any off-gassing from petroleum-based foams that can smell harsh and reduce your sleep quality. To top it off, synthetic fibers like memory foam and polyester make it harder for our bodies to regulate their temperatures. Shoot for mattresses and toppers made out of natural fibers like ecofoam, natural latex, cotton and wool so you can sleep easier and more comfortably.

  7. Consider a Weighted Blanket for Anxiety
    If anxious thoughts are keeping you up at night, a weighted blanket might be the perfect fit for you. Weighted blankets work by providing deep pressure touch stimulation without uncomfortable restriction. The deep pressure from the weight of the blanket causes the body to produce serotonin and endorphins all night long while you sleep. Serotonin and endorphins are necessary to help us feel relaxed and calm.

  8. Say Goodbye to Screen Time Before Bed
    Studies have found that people who use phones, iPads, light-emitting eReaders and other similar devices at bedtime take longer to fall asleep and have disrupted circadian rhythms. If you're going to read before bed to relax, stick to books and ditch the screen. 

  9. Keep Your Bedroom Cool 
    Don't make it so cold that you're uncomfortable, but research suggests sleeping in cooler environments as low as 66 degrees can help you sleep better. 

  10. Reduce Clutter in Your Bedroom  
    Marie Kondo, author of The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, says "A messy room equals a messy mind". If your sleeping space is cluttered and full of distractions, you might have trouble relaxing and getting to sleep. Clear the clutter and see what happens! 

Sleep is something that directly impacts your life every day. Keep up to date on all the latest and greatest tips for getting the best sleep by subscribing to our newsletter here!
