Cocoon Your Face with This Sleep Aid

I was a bit surprised how deeply I slept after literally cocooning my face with this new Weighted Silk Sleep Stone Mask from Baloo Living. As someone who believes first and foremost that the basic building blocks of health are deep breath, clean water, daily meditation and sleeping like a baby, I have to say, wearing this mask to bed last night was like diving into a sensory deprivation tank filled with healing stones. My mask, made from smooth mulberry silk and chock full of Amethyst, felt like slipping on a nervous system reset. Not bad in these winter months which tend to – as hard as we try to keep it simple and be the light – more often than not amount to overstimulation, over-indulgence and just plain exhaustion.


In addition to its miraculous sound muffling and de-puffing effects, the sleep mask’s benefits are amplified by the crystals sewn inside. Choose from rose quartz, blue lace agate, purple fluorite, amethyst (or all four) – channeling positive energy right to your third eye. Here in the city that never sleeps, it felt like the perfect gift for all. I know my loved ones need a healthy dose of shut-eye more than the latest sleep-disrupting gadget. For my near and dears, I may even throw in the brand’s new pillow spray! They have a whole line of sleep-supporting goodies.

And if helping your kin amplify their sleep sanctuary isn’t public service enough, the female-owned Baloo Living donates a portion of all their sales to the Pajama Program; a nonprofit that partners with thousands of schools, shelters, group homes, and community organizations to provide new books, sleep health education, and caring connections so children facing adversity can have a comforting bedtime routine & healthy sleep.
