Dreaming Of A Better Nights Sleep? #BreatheRight


Good Morning!

I have something I need to share with you today. I got the product in exchange for free for my honest review. All views, opinions and ideas about this product are my own. I use these in my everyday life, so this is actually my experience. 

I have something that I use in my everyday life that might make you sleep better as well.

Actually, I don't always use them but I buy them for my partner so I can get some sleep. He snores so severe that we have started sleeping in separate rooms. Sad but its true. He wakes me up choking, gasping for air and in general just making noise.



HERE is some information from Breathe Right Web Page

Dreaming of a better night's sleep?

DREAMING OF A BETTER NIGHT'S SLEEP?

How well we sleep at night can have a significant effect on
 our ability to concentrate and perform during the day. Adults
 need to focus on what needs to be done at home and at work,
while kids need to pay attention at school.
 And for anyone whose sleep is affected by nighttime nasal congestion,
 the impact can be monumental.

THE GOOD SLEEP CHECKLIST

Getting good sleep is a process that starts long before you lie down. What you do—morning, day, and night—can greatly affect your quality of sleep. Here are 12 tips to help you get better sleep every night .FOLLOW A ROUTINE Try to wake up at the same time each day—even on the weekends. This will regulate your body’s clock and help you fall asleep more effectively come nighttime LET THE SUN It's the body's cue to stop and start melatonin production, the hormone that controls your sleep cycle. The more natural sunlight you can get in the morning, the better. EAT BREAKFAST Think slow-to-digest foods like oatmeal, eggs, plain yogurt, or nuts. This will help reduce any reliance on caffeine and sugar throughout the day. CLOSE YOUR BEDROOM DOOR WHEN YOU LEAVE Pets can drag dander, fur and pollen into your bed, potentially triggering nighttime allergies. For better sleep, make your bedroom a pet-free zone.


Now, we have tried all of these things without using the Breathe Right Strips.

Nothing has worked, and I am exhausted at night. So we have moved him into the spare room. I snore, but not as loudly as he does and I don't have sleep apnea to go along with it.  I use them myself when I am congested. My favorite is the lavender in small in the clear. I love the smell of the lavender as I drift off to sleep.


How Do Breathe Right Nasal Strips Work?

HOW DO BREATHE RIGHT®NASAL STRIPS WORK?

They seem simple, but Breathe Right Nasal Strips have unique engineering that make them an effective tool for managing nighttime congestion and improving sleep.
Nasal strips are made of flexible, spring-like bands that fit right above the flare of the nostrils. The underside is adhesive so that once positioned on the nose, they stay there. As the bands attempt to straighten back to their original shape, they lift the sides of the nose and open the nasal passages.
This lifting action helps open inflamed sinus passages and makes it easier to breath. Nose strips provide relief for congestion due to colds, allergies, or a deviated septum and reduce snoring caused by nighttime nasal congestion.

Breathe Right has several types of strips just for your comfort and you level of snoring/breathing.

Here are just a few....


Breathe Right, Clear, 30 count


Breathe Right Original, tan, 30 count


Breathe Right Extra, tan, 44 count, 30 % Stronger



Breathe Right Advanced, 4 point technology, 10 clear strips

Breathe Right, sm/md, 38 clear strips



Breathe Right Extra, 50% stronger, 26 clear strips


Breathe Right for Kids. 30 kid sized strips. The are decorated with stars. 30 count, ages 5-12



Breathe Right Menthol, 8 strips in soothing menthol

This is what I like best. No pills to take to get me to fall asleep and stay that way. I can not stay asleep, I wake up several times a night but with the Breathe Right  I stay asleep all night. 

When my partner is wearing his the snoring has went from a 100% to 10 % and if you live with a snorer you KNOW those are good odds, my odds.

Breathe Right To Sleep Better

  • WHAT IS A BREATHE RIGHT® NASAL STRIP?

    The Breathe Right® nasal strip is a drug-free, non-prescription device that works mechanically – from the outside – to gently open nasal passages. This reduces the resistance to air flowing through the nasal passages and improves the ability to breathe through the nose.
  • HOW DOES IT WORK?

    Within each Breathe Right strip are flexible, "spring-like" bands. On the underside is a special adhesive that, when placed properly on the nose, gently sticks to the area right above the flare of each nostril. As the bands attempt to straighten back to their original shape, they gently lift the sides of the nose and open the nasal passages, providing immediate and continual relief.
    Your nose is divided into 2 chambers, or nostrils. At the back of each nostril is a narrow space called the nasal valve, which is only 1/10" wide. All of the air you breathe in through the nose has to pass through these spaces, which can become blocked for a variety of reasons. The Breathe Right strip widens the space by mechanically pulling open the flexible cartilage walls of the nasal valves, making it easier to breathe without the use of drugs.
  • WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM THIS PRODUCT AND WHEN CAN IT BE USED?

    Congested people who want to improve their nasal breathing with a drug-free device will benefit from using Breathe Right nasal strips. The strips can be used whenever easier breathing is desired - while congested from allergies or colds – and to help you sleep better at night.

  • HOW DO THE STRIPS WORK FOR NASAL CONGESTION?

    Congestion - whether from a cold or allergies - narrows the already-small breathing space at the back of each nostril, making breathing through the nose more difficult. A Breathe Right strip widens the air passage to reduce nasal airflow resistance and provides temporary relief from nasal stuffiness.
  • CAN BREATHE RIGHT® NASAL STRIPS HELP WITH SNORING?

    Nighttime nasal congestion can lead to snoring, since you're more likely to breathe through your mouth when there is restricted airflow through your nose. Breathe Right® nasal strips work to improve airflow in your nose, which can help reduce snoring.
    In clinical study, 90% of snorers reported better sleep* with Breathe Right®. Which means Breathe Right nasal strips can have a positive impact for many snorers and their bed partners.
    If you suspect your snoring is a symptom of a serious condition, like sleep apnea, please see your doctor.
    *Scharf et al. Ear Nose Throat Journal 1994
  • CAN THEY REALLY HELP ME SLEEP?

    If you're having difficulty sleeping at night, it may be because you're not breathing well through your nose. Even subtle breathing difficulties can lead to tossing and turning, fitful or disruptive sleep, waking up frequently, or waking up tired. Breathe Right nasal strips open your nasal passages so you can breathe through your nose and close your mouth. And that can help you sleep better.
  • HOW DO THEY WORK FOR DEVIATED SEPTUM SUFFERERS?

    Millions of Americans have a deviated septum - a bend in the cartilage or bone that separates the nostrils. Symptoms include an airflow blockage through one or both nostrils, difficulty sleeping, chronic nasal stuffiness, and loud breathing or snoring. While Breathe Right nasal strips should not be considered an alternative to surgical correction, they can provide temporary relief by allowing air to pass more easily through the blocked nasal passage.
  • WHO CAN USE BREATHE RIGHT® NASAL STRIPS?

    Anyone can use Breathe Right® nasal strips, except children under 5 years of age. The strips are made with a medical-grade adhesive. The package is sealed with natural rubber latex, which may cause allergic reactions, so people with latex allergies should not use Breathe Right® nasal strips. Do not use over sores, sunburned or irritated skin.
  • HOW ARE CLEAR STRIPS DIFFERENT FROM TAN STRIPS?

    Breathe Right® clear nasal strips work the same way tan strips do. However, the materials used are slightly different, making clear strips easier to remove, which can be beneficial for people with dry or sensitive skin.

6 DRUG-FREE TIPS FOR NIGHTTIME CONGESTION RELIEF

Your nose is congested, and you just can’t sleep. Sound familiar? It’s a problem facing millions of people on any given night. Here are some drug-free ways to immediately relieve nighttime nasal congestion.                      

HAVE SOUP FOR DINNER

What mothers have known for centuries, research is finally confirming: chicken soup really can make you feel better. It can act as an anti-inflammatory, helping clear the nose of excess mucus. 

STEAM CLEAN YOUR NOSE

The simple act of inhaling steam can significantly loosen congestion. Before tucking in for the night, try taking a steaming shower or fixing yourself a hot cup of tea—and don’t forget to breathe deeply. 

ADD GINGER

Try incorporating more ginger into your diet. Ginger is loaded with anti-inflammatory properties and has been used to combat colds and various ailments for centuries. 

SET THE RIGHT HUMIDITY

The optimal level of humidity for sleep is between 30-50 percent. A hygrometer can measure humidity, to help you determine whether to run a humidifier or dehumidifier. 

LIFT YOUR BED

Try elevating the head of your bed 6-8 inches. Sleeping at an incline can help your sinuses drain out and minimize swelling inside your nose.

ADD NASAL STRIPS

Nasal strips open your nasal passages from the outside, creating a wider opening for air to pass. This helps relieve nasal congestion caused by colds, allergies, or a deviated septum. They also help reduce snoring caused by nasal congestion.

Yarn of the Month ~June








It's that time again. Last month I said I was not thrilled with my yarn club. It's called Yarn Of The Month Club.

You can find it HERE.

The basis of the club is they send 3-4 samples of yarn. 

Here is what they have to say....

Here’s how it works ... Every month we deliver two to four generous samples of the newest and most interesting yarns available for the season.  With enough to knit a traditional 5" x 5" blanket square or swatch you can experiment, design, and play with a variety of weights and fibers without investing in a whole skein, all the while working toward a gorgeous knitted blanket (or two or three).

We have done lots of research and groundwork to make sure you get a great selection – from tried-and-true mills like Rowan and Debbie Bliss to small and fabulous boutique yarn makers.  We are certain you will have a hard time choosing your favorite! 

 If you look at their site they have the yarn for May shown. Those are the 3 samples of yarn I got. 

The club cost almost $10.

Most of the yarn I have received has at least 150-225 yards.

I sent in my cancel form but I got the yarn again this month. Grrr....I had trouble starting the club because I waited so long for it to come. I waited almost a month for the May colors. These came about a week ago. So they mail at the beginning of the month.

It is nice to get yarn in the mail as a surprise, I just wish it was more yarn than thread.

The samples for May had the color blue in common.

This month the colors are rust, yellow, and a peach variegated.

Here is the first sample....


The label on the bag says Creative Linen.
5.25 sts/inch on US 7
50% Linen 50% Cotton
219 yds color:643

This yarn is the most like yarn in the group. It's a rust color. Really pretty. It works up nice and I love that it's Linen and Cotton. It has a nice drape. 
I really liked this one.

On to the next sample....


 The second bag says Audra.
5.25 sts/inch on US 4
76% Linen 12% Silk 12% Viscose
205 yds color:04

This yarn is more like crochet thread. It's a really pretty variegated peach and cream. Its so thin that it was hard for me to work with, but its really pretty. Just very thin.

I liked this sample too.

The last sample...


This sample is Linus.
5 sts/inch on US 8
50% Acrylic 20%Linen 18% Nylon 12% Rayon
159 yds color: 6812

This is the sample I am not crazy about. I do not like the color, nor the type of yarn it is. This yarn is wide. It looks like something you would hem with in sewing. 

I tried to make a swatch with it but it does not show the stitches and it looks ratty even when the stitches are perfect. 

I don't know what I would use this yarn for...if any of you have a suggestion I would listen, gladly.



So that's my Yarn Of The Month Club for June.

I am going to keep the subscription since they didn't stop the shipments.

This little yarn stash would be perfect for crochet earrings and jewelry.

I guess I could make the 5X5 square and start me a blanket with all the different kinds of yarn that I get. 

I just don't know.  I keep thinking something great is going to come. 

It hasn't yet.

Thanks for the visit!

Leave me a comment if you would like. I would like to know if you signed up or belong to this club, if so, how do you feel about the yarn samples.
I love to hear from you.
