Better Rest = Better Grades. Here’s how you can help your student 💤🛌✨🎉





Support Your Student with the Gift of Better Sleep!

If there’s one thing that’s an absolute necessity when it comes to getting good grades, it’s GOOD SLEEP! 💤 As you may know from personal experience, tired testing (and even learning) is no bueno. 

Whether your student is in kindergarten, college, or somewhere in between, these 8 healthy sleep hacks can help them get a good night of sleep all year long so they can always feel their best this school year:   

Create a Relaxing Bedtime Routine

A calming pre-sleep routine signals your body that it's time to wind down. This could include reading a book, taking a warm bath, or practicing relaxation exercises. Help your student find their favorites and encourage them to wind down in the evening.


Establish a Consistent Sleep Schedule

Going to bed and waking up at the same time every day, even on weekends, helps regulate your body's internal clock and improves sleep quality. While staying up late with friends can be fun, it’s best to try to keep a consistent sleep schedule as much as possible.


Limit Caffeine and Stimulant Intake

For older high school and college students who are tempted to reach for a caffeine boost, avoiding coffee and energy drinks in the late afternoon and evening is best. These can make it harder to fall asleep, and even disrupt sleep in the middle of the night!


Minimize Screen Time before Bed

Since the blue light emitted by screens can interfere with your body's natural sleep-wake cycle, it’s best to limit exposure to electronic devices like smartphones, computers, and TVs at least an hour before bedtime.


Make Their Sleep Environment Comfortable

Ensure your student’s bedroom is conducive to sleep by keeping it dark, cool, and quiet. Investing in a comfortable, all-natural mattress and pillows that support sleeping posture can help them get the best sleep each night! (P.S. - If you're not sure which mattress or pillow is best for your student, ask us! We’re more than happy to guide you! 😀)


Stay Active During the Day

Engaging in regular physical activity or exercise during the day can help improve sleep quality. However, it’s best to avoid vigorous workouts too close to bedtime so that you don’t have trouble falling asleep.


Manage Stress

From test scores to peer pressure, school can be stressful to students of all ages! If your student is feeling stressed or anxious, yoga, deep breathing, and other stress-reducing exercises can be used to help calm their mind before bedtime for better rest. 


Avoid Alcohol and Smoking

These two popular past-times among the college crowd, while fun, may be detrimental to a student’s sleep. Although alcohol can initially make you feel drowsy, it disrupts the overall sleep cycle and reduces sleep quality. Similarly, smoking and nicotine can interfere with falling asleep and staying asleep throughout the night.

White Lotus Love Story from Cathy J.: 

I have used White Lotus Dreamton futons for over 20 years and they are heavenly to sleep on! After 10-15 years when they have compressed a bit, add a wool topper and they are as good as new again. Their kapok pillows are also awesome, they stay fluffy for years :) Now that my kids are young adults, they are purchasing their own White Lotus bedding!

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!

✨ Shop GREEN, Not PRIME ✨

Think Twice Before Shopping Prime…

What happens with your dollars   💵   when you do?   🤔

Dear WLH Community Member, 

You might already be aware that Prime Day is coming up next week.

Before you shop all those Prime Day deals, as a member of our conscious community, we’d love for you to please think for a moment about where your dollars will go when you do. Here’s a quick look at Amazon’s stats: 

  • More than 50% of Amazon’s products come from other countries, and  45% of them are from China (Yikes!)
  • Jeff Bezos’ current net worth is  $193.4 billion USD , and it’s only growing.
  • Amazon generated almost  500 million pounds of plastic packaging  last year, more than 22 million pounds of which  ended up in rivers and oceans . Very sad  😧!


TAKE THE LOTUS LOCAL CHALLENGE!

✨  SHOP GREEN, NOT PRIME  ✨

Amazon bought Whole Foods four years ago, but we've been organic for FORTY!   👍

White Lotus Home has been ahead of the   Green   game for decades, and we'd like to keep it that way! 

With Prime Day on its way, we challenge you to  take the Lotus Local Challenge and shop GREEN this week  before Prime Day even starts! 

Here’s what happens when you buy from a small sustainable ♻️ business instead of a billion-dollar megacorporation: 

⭐ Small businesses like ours utilize other local small businesses like banks, service providers, and farms.

⭐ For every $100 you spend at local businesses, $68 will stay in the community! ( 1 ) Woo-Hoo!  🙌

⭐ Independent retailers return  more than   three times  as much money per dollar of sales  to the community  in which they operate than chain competitors.

⭐ Supporting local businesses is good for the environment because they often have  a smaller carbon footprint  than larger companies.  🌎

 

Say “Bye-Bye   🖐️ Bezos, Hello   😉  Lotus” with these

GREEN WEEK SALES!

Take 24% Off all   Mattresses ,   Sheets ,   Duvets ,   Toppers   &   Pillows   all week long!

You Might Be a Crunchy Parent If…

You Might Be a Crunchy Parent If…

The internet has coined parents who practice natural parenting crunchy, and we say embrace it. Being kind to people and planet while raising children is a challenging path to walk, and well, none of us would survive it if we didn’t learn to laugh at ourselves along the way.

You Fly Past the Character Fruit Snacks in the Store

You’re determined your kid isn’t going to know anything but fruit dyed gummy snacks, and curse whoever decided to put those artificially colored atrocities right next to your favorite granola bars.

You Smell Your Kid to See If They Need a Bath

Crunchy parents know too much of a good thing can be bad, so they bathe on an as-needed basis. If they don’t stink, let them be free!

You Keep Coconut Oil In the Kitchen. And the Bathroom. And the Baby’s Room.

Deep conditioner? Coconut oil. Diaper rash? Coconut oil. Best brownies you’ve ever had? COCONUT OIL.

You Hate Running out of Cleaner (Because It Means You Have to Make More)

Crunchy parents know Clorox has nothing on vinegar and baking soda. They also know he who leaves the bottle with one spray left should have the decency to make the next batch.

*AHEM*

You Have More Essential Oils Than You Have Room For

Crunchy parents take their family to the doctor when necessary. Otherwise, they’re consulting their local naturopath, because honey — there’s an essential oil for that.

Losing the Amber Teething Necklace Is the Equivalent of Armageddon

Skeptics can say what they want — at this point, you’d do a rain dance if you thought it would help get your baby through teething. Must. Have. Backups.

You Measure Time You Have to Do Something in Time Between Nursing Sessions

New moms especially know, if it takes more than two hours, they’ll have to ask their tiny baby boss.

You Do Shots...of Apple Cider Vinegar

Who said your partying days were over when you had kids? Shooting apple cider vinegar is way more hardcore than tequila. And it’s great for your gut health.

You Collect Cloth Diapers Like Pokemon Cards

Crunchy moms know, it doesn’t matter how many cloth diapers you have — if there’s a Harry Potter fitted for sale anywhere at any time, it has your name on it.

You Boil Beets at Easter

You don’t feed your kids artificial colors the rest of the year, why should you do it for the holidays? Sure it’s messy, sure your fingers are pink for days, but just look at those eggs!

You’ve (Uncomfortably) Made Wishlists for Kids’ Birthdays

It’s never fun to tell people who are already buying things for your kids that you have a preference as to what they buy. Unless you want another heap of plastic and noise at the holidays though, you’ve learned to power through.

You’re More Scared to Admit to Feeding Your Kids McDonald’s Than You Are to Eating Your Placenta

Sure, we’ve all been there — desperate days that call for quick and easy sustenance and a little sanity for mom. But you’d still rather talk about your placenta capsules than the fossilized remains of a Happy Meal on the floor of your car.

What crunchy parent thing do you do that cracks your family up? Tell us in the comments below!
