My personal Cool-Jams Sleepwear item :)

I currently own a KRISTI NIGHTSHIRT in the Lilac color, and I love it! (see below) It's soft, cool, and keeps me from having night-sweats! I was so happy to find out about this type of clothing and bedlinens because of suffering from perimenopause!

It was SO comfy! It feels like really soft t-shirt material, but not hot. Comfy, like a boyfriend ;)

And I love the length! (to the knees)

DESCRIPTION

Style #T3477 

Cool-jams moisture wicking V-neck KRISTI nightshirt, features white lace at neckline and side slits is perfect for travel or temperature regulation. 

Our quick drying, silky soft moisture wicking smart fabric wicks away moisture to provide stylish relief for warm nights and is perfect for travel and body temperature regulation. 

Cool-jams fabric has a super soft cotton like feel with wicking ability that never washes out. 

In fact, the wicking action is scientifically woven into the fabric itself. 

Add our versatile Zip Hoodie Lounge Jacket or our PJ Topper With Pockets to create a sensational 2 piece set. 

Or add our Wicking Lace Accent Robe for extra wicking warmth when needed. 

Note on size chart: The most important measurements to use are hip and bust since the waist on this garment is not fitted.

(...it was early morning when I took these photos so the lighting and color are slightly off.

When I get new ones, I'll replace these!!)

(I'll post a photo of me wearing it tomorrow.)

Cool-Jams, sleepwear and bedding - LOVE this bedding & clothing line, it helps keep me cooler when I sleep!!

I found some great wicking pajamas called Cool-jams that help me stay cool, dry and comfortable all night! Some of you know I am going through perimenopause and I am privileged to get some of the awesome (NOT) symptoms!

This sleepwear helps to regulate the body temperature as you sleep, so you don't wake up when you get too hot or too cold. You should try Cool-jams Wicking Sleepwear if you're interested in a better night's sleep. Cool-jams also offers temperature regulating bedding like sheets, comforters, mattress pads, pillows and blankets!!

60% Of All Americans Do Not Get Enough Sleep. Do You?

According to the Harvard Women’s Health Watch newsletter, sleep is too important to shortchange. Chronic sleep deprivation may cause weight gain by affecting the way our bodies process and store carbohydrates, and by altering levels of hormones that affect appetite. A lack of quality sleep hampers learning and memory; recent studies show that people who slept well after learning a task did better on tests later. Sleep loss may result in irritability and an inability to concentrate. Sleep deficit causes daytime drowsiness with momentary lapses that may result in mistakes such as road accidents. Sleep disorders have been linked to hypertension, increased stress hormone levels, and irregular heartbeat, and sleep deprivation alters immune function, including the activity of the body’s killer cells.

However, there are some simple changes that you can make that will result in a restful night, and by adopting these seven healthy habits you will enjoy a rejuvenating night’s sleep that may help keep heart disease and cancer at bay, improve your mood and increase alertness and energy levels. 
1. Make sleep a priority and keep a consistent bedtime allowing 7-8 hours of quality sleep each night. Although studies show that the average American adult spends 7.5 hours in bed they actually only sleep 6.1 hours, so allow time to ease into sleep. 

2. Relax before bedtime: sip herbal tea, enjoy a book, soft music or gentle yoga. 

3. Make your bedroom a sanctuary free of work materials, computers and electronics. 

4. Keep the room clean, organized, quiet, comfortable and a cool 65 F/18 C. 

5. If night sweats are a problem wear temperature regulating, quick dry moisture-wicking sleepwear from Cool-jams. They also offer temperature regulating bedding to help keep you cooler and drier while maximizing sleeping comfort. 

6. Exercise regularly, but complete workouts at least two hours before bedtime. 

7. Avoid eating, alcohol, nicotine and caffeine before bedtime.

So don’t scrimp on sleep. By taking these seven simple steps you will improve your sleep patterns, and your body, mind and spirit will thank you.

What Are Wicking Pajamas?

There’s been much talk about pajamas for night sweats lately. So what exactly are these night sweat pajamas and how do they work? These pajamas are made of a micro fiber wicking fabric. This fabric pulls the moisture away from the skin to the outside of the fabric, so that the body stays dry. The second feature of this fabric is it’s quick drying ability. Once the moisture is drawn through the fabric it dries rapidly. In fact it dries twice as fast as cotton. One brand called Cool-jams uses a fabric called moisture wicking smart fabric which seems to sense what the body needs to be comfortable. It keeps the body cool and dry when it’s warm outside and dry and cozy when the weather gets cooler. 

There are many reasons for night sweats …chemotherapy, certain medications, thyroid condition, diabetes, obesity and anxiety to name a few, but the primary reason for night sweats in women are the hormonal fluctuations which occur just before menopause and during menopause. Night sweats are not dangerous, but they can certainly be annoying.

If you suffer from night sweats for whatever reason, moisture wicking pajamas might be your answer to a comfortable night’s sleep.

PRODUCT REVIEW: Women’s Confidence Panties by Hush Hush

March 2015 ADDENDUM:
Hush Hush is in the process of adding new styles and colors to their website, which will be available for order soon on www.hushhushpanties.com! In the meantime, you can follow them on social media at www.Facebook.com/HushHushUndergarments and www.Twitter.com/HushHushPanties. 

There are only two small things I don't like about this product:

The inside protective padding needs an inch or two added to the top/front; it's too low.

The 'Hush Hush' sticker should not be on the outer front of the panty. That makes it not so hush-hush, ya know?

Otherwise, this panty works great for absorbtion of my perimeno sweat and slight incontinence, and odor protection. They hold up well from the washing they've already been through, the material is soft, and they are "pretty". The 'binding' does not bother my sensitive skin, they are not too tight around the legs, they don't ride up in the back, and they don't lose their shape. 

These are all HUGE pluses in the needs of a good fitting panty!

PRODUCT REVIEW: Diet Standards AminoHD 1000 BCAA Capsules

I took these capsules for two weeks, one per morning, in between meals (one of the suggestions on the label), and though I wasn't specifically looking to "lose weight" via these tablets, though I do need to lose weight, they had no negative effect on my body and I did notice a little 'leaning' in my arms recently. I can honestly only relate that to these specific capsules because I'm not doing anything different for that. 

I had a positive experience with this product.

My Rating: A

(addendum: I will probably increase my intake of this product because I have been having a hard time losing weight recently because of my perimenopause)

I've used this on my neck, chest and stomach for almost two weeks now and I am just starting to see a difference in the 'reduction' of the stretch marks, it's almost like it's blending them in to my skin, it's pretty neat!

I've gotten stretch marks over time from childbirth, weight gain, and age. 

This item does not have an overpowering odor, and it goes on soft & smooth.

PRODUCT REVIEW: NootropX-Cognitive and Neural Enhancement Formula

I started using this two weeks ago. I have short-term memory loss due to heading into that awesome time in a woman's life when she changes gears - AND LOSES HER MIND! Literally. Grr. Argh!!

I do notice a difference with these tablets, and I will continue to use them, as well as continue to buy them!

This is a huge deal to me, because for 2 years, this memory loss has been driving me nuts. I was always GREAT at recalling things. 

I didn't understand what was happening until this year... I had to start adjusting the way I did things, like writing everything important like appointments, birthdays, anything... I already had a regular day timer, just like anyone else, but then to have to start using notepads, sticky pads, even just to remember WHY I was going to the store.., and I hate it. I've been able to remember more things now and I hope to see even more improvement as I take them.

PRODUCT REVIEW 09-02-2014 Wearever Brief

PRODUCT REVIEW 09-02-2014 Wearever Brief

Received: 1 Women's XL Comfort Cotton Brief, Beige

Control Leakage without the inconvenience of pads or other disposable products. www.weareverincontinence.com

These looks and feel like regular briefs but with a built-in pad. They're washable, reusable, and economical. Odor-control, absorbent, one-piece briefs. Available in a variety of sizes for men and women, and in regular, super and maximum absorbency.

I wanted to try this product because I am now experiencing symptoms of menopause.

My first impressions: nice color, no odd smells from dyes, soft material, good width & length for the crotch & padding, material fit well across the skin, and I had no bad reactions to it at the end of the day.

It did absorb nicely, it cut back on odor, and by the end of the day, I was satisfied in the performance of this product.

MY RATING: A

I will continue to buy this product in the future.
