SUNDAY CITIZEN + WEIGHTED BLANKET+ BAMBOO SHEETS = A GREAT NIGHT'S SLEEP

With everything going on in the world this past year, it hasn’t always been easy to get a good night’s sleep. But, I recently discovered a secret remedy… drum roll….no, not a new brand of melatonin or CBD relaxation gummy…my secret is Sunday Citizen! 

Sunday Citizen is an amazing bedding brand started by a luxury hotel owner who was on a mission to find the softest blankets, so…he created his own! Since getting two of their signature products over the holidays, a weighted blanket for me and my husband and bamboo sheets for my son, we’ve all found ourselves looking for reasons to get in bed a little earlier and I mean early.

Weighted blankets put gentle pressure on your body to make you feel safe, comforted and relaxed. They can lower anxiety, provide better sleep and even alleviate some chronic pain. While they typically get their density from glass pearls, this weighted blanket is also filled with thousands of pieces of Clear Quartz, Rose Quartz and Amethyst that harness natural healing energy and make you feel amazing, literally my husband and I talk about how this has completely changed our sleep. Have you ever tried a weighted blanket? The idea of a weighted blanket has always intrigued me, but I thought, what if it feels too heavy and my husband thought, what if feels too warm? Guess what? It did neither! It actually drops you into relaxation and night night, Irene!

This isn’t an ordinary weighted blanket, though. This one is filled with tiny crystals and is the world’s first weighted blanket charged with ancient positive energy from natural quartz and amethyst. It is meant to harness healing energy while you sleep. It is so cuddly and soft! I’m now proud to say I am 59 years old, and I officially have a “blankie”! 

Use Code 1JANET15 for a great nights sleep!

Over the holiday I surprised our son with their luxurious bamboo sheets and it’s a good thing he doesn’t read my blog or he’d see Buster and I napping on the job in his room!

While we're all spending more time at home these days, it’s nice to have Sunday Citizen making it so easy and cozy!

15-pound blanket is right for those 100 to 170 pounds

• 20-pound blanket is best if you’re 170 to 240 pounds

• Blanket measures 77" L x 52" W in both weight options. Each blanket is sized for personal, single-use.

• To clean removable cover, machine washed and tumble dry on low

• To clean the inner blanket, hand wash only

• Outer fabric 100% microfiber

• Filling glass beads and quartz crystal

Use Code 1JANET15 for a great night’s sleep!

Thank you for reading and I hope you sleep well and thank you Sunday Citizen!

HALLSTEIN WATER

Imagine water so clean and so pure, that you would not only want to drink it, but you’d also be tempted to bathe in it too! I've discovered that water, and guess what? It can be delivered straight from the Austrian Alps, to your front door and right to your glass! Meet Hallstein Artesian Water. 

As you may have heard me mention on Instagram, I discovered Hallstein water several months ago, and I instantly knew that I had found something special. It all started with one family on a mission to find the best drinking water in the world. The Muhr family scoured the world for a natural source that met their high standards when they realized all the water brands they liked were mechanically treated or filtered in some way. Their obsession has definitely become my obsession, and just wait, once you try it, it might just become yours too.

All drinking water is definitely not created equal, and Hallstein water just tastes different than any other I’ve ever tried. But why does it taste so different and so pure? Basically, this water marches to the beat of a different drum! 

It’s bottled at a state of the art facility in Austria with one continuous stainless steel tube piping it straight from the ground into the bottle. The water is truly so pure, all they need to do is bottle it. It’s Untouched, Unfiltered, Untreated, Uncompromised, and UNBELIEVABLE.  

We’ve all heard about the benefits of drinking eight glasses of water a day, and Hallstein makes it easy to achieve that goal. You’ll find yourself wanting to drink water. 

Allow me to indulge my inner science nerd for a second. This water is high in natural alkalinity, low in sodium, low in carbon and nitrates, and high in dissolved oxygen—which is what gives water its fresh taste! Who knew?!

*Also included is the stand, along with the crown cap.

There are a few different gadgets they have to make dispensing easy. My favorite device is the automatic dispenser. Just place the dispenser on top of the bottle, press, and, Voila! Fresh pure water direct from the bottle to your glass. Hallstein take me away! Super simple to order, just download their app and get hydrated.

This water will definitely make a splash at your house, and right now you can use my code, GRATEFULGARDENIA, to get one bottle free when you sign up for their subscription service. I’ll drink to that!
