    Body Positivity LOVE on Suncoast View

    February is National Body Positivity Month, which promotes being healthy and happy in the body that you’re in. STG is back to showcase brands that are helping you achieve all that self-love with just a bit of self-care. 

    I love this first product because I really do love all my scars from burns and sports. However, I will say it is very preventative, too, as I  applied it to my belly non-stop when I was pregnant, and I do not have a single mark on my tummy. 

    Bio-Oil Original Skincare Oil
    PRICE: $27.54
    SHOP:@Amazon
    February is Body Positivity Month, which is about promoting acceptance and celebrating all bodies, regardless of size, shape, skin tone, gender, and physical abilities. Bio-Oil encourages everyone to love and care for the skin that they are in. Whether a stretch mark or a scar, your “marks” are representative of where your body has been and a reminder of your strength and personal skincare journey. Made for all skin types, Bio-Oil’s multipurpose Skincare Oils can easily play a role in everyone’s life by helping to reduce the appearance of stretch marks, scars, dry skin, and so much more.


    Hair loss can really impact self-esteem. There are so many products that claim to work, but KilgourMD’s system is proven and super easy to use. 

    The KilgourMD Bundle
    PRICE: $150
    SHOP: @kilgourmd.com
    Developed by a Stanford dermatologist, the KilgourMD system is clinically proven to prevent and treat the appearance of hair thinning. It’s made up of two transformative scalp serums: The Prevention Scalp Serum (which is like sunscreen for the scalp), preventing environmentally-driven aging and the appearance of hair thinning and loss of vitality that sets in over time; The Treatment Scalp Serum (which is like a facelift for the scalp) maximizes the appearance of remaining hair once the damage has already been done. The combination of the active ingredients found in the KilgourMD system was superior to minoxidil in a peer-reviewed clinical trial, with no known side effects.

    The neck has become the NEW tell-all when it comes to age. We’re seeing so many products that claim to smooth and tighten, but few pass the test, and most are outrageous in price. This one is also clinically proven and doesn’t break the bank.

    MAËLYS B-POISED Neck & Décolleté Firming Cream
    PRICE: $49
    SHOP: @ulta
    Get a tighter-looking neck with MAËLYS B-POISED Neck and Décolleté Firming Cream. Clinically proven to help tighten and contour the look of the jowl and neck while smoothing the look of lines and wrinkles in the décolleté area. See results from the 2nd jar.

    And when it comes to gravity, our face isn’t the only thing that begins to sag. The number one request when looking for a bra is LIFT. ThirdLove built these Uplift Plunge Bras to do the job with ultimate comfort and support.

    ThirdLove Uplift Plunge Bra
    PRICE: $72

  • Clean Beauty Favorites on New Day Northwest

    Clean Beauty Favorites on New Day Northwest

    A shift towards cleaner and greener products is taking center stage in the evolving beauty world. From the meticulous crafting of formulations to the sustainable innovation in packaging, every aspect is now under scrutiny and conscious consideration. Today, we’re back in Seattle on New Day Northwest to share the latest finds and show what makes them stand out as exceptional gems in the clean beauty mega sphere.

    Garnier has stood out for over a decade as a maverick in cleaning up all aspects of their products. These shampoo bars are brilliant. They create shine and are easy to use and rinse. Plus, they are clean and green from formulation to packaging and are even 97% Biodegradable.

    PRICE: $8.99

    Garnier is Approved by Cruelty-Free International – Garnier is committed to creating a world where no animals suffer in a laboratory.

    Another brand you’ll want to take to the shower is EC30. 

    EC30 Clean Body Wash
    PRICE: $19.00
    SHOP: @EC30Clean.com
    Want to know what it’s like to wash your body with a lighter carbon footprint? Our body wash strikes a perfect balance we all want: efficiently cleans your skin of sweat and dirt yet leaves your skin moisturized and soft.

    If you haven’t heard of this next product, I’ll catch you up. Editors tout this cream by Comfort Zone as being better than LeMer and as clean as a product can be.

    Comfort Zone HYDRAMEMORY RICH SORBET CREAM
    PRICE: $71
    SHOP: @amazon
    Vegan formula that is enriched with SKIN-ADAPTIVE HYDRATION technology: Prickly Pear Extract from regenerative organic agriculture and Macro Hyaluronic Acid,, combined with biomimetic sorbet texture, gives comfort and intense hydration to the skin, which is immediately softer, smoother and more radiant. Its refillable packaging is a sustainable solution to reduce the use of materials and CO2 emissions. Contains 98,4% natural-origin ingredients

    Recently, in my editor community, there’s been a lot of pushback on which lash serums actually work and which are meh. As someone who religiously applies one at night, I was surprised to find out that many of the products on the market are merely an oil derivative, and some of the ingredients are not even suitable for the eyes. I can attest, and many a TikToker that Nulastin works and the formula is clean. I haven’t tried the brow serum out yet, but it’s also a fan favorite. 

    NULASTIN® LASH and BROW Dual System with Elastaple
    PRICE: $139
    SHOP: @nulastin.com 
    Notice up to 60% longer-looking lashes & 120% fuller-looking brows. If you have short, thin lashes or sparse brows, our proven LASH & BROW Dual System with Elastaplex® Technology visibly boosts the length and density of eyelashes and eyebrows — regardless of your age, gender, or health. Made with skin-safe, ethically sourced, naturally derived ingredients and backed by five issued U.S. patents, our groundbreaking formulas have been proven to support the body’s natural ability to stimulate the replenishment of elastin. In a 12-week clinical evaluation, participants experienced up to 60% longer-looking eyelashes and up to 120% fuller-looking eyebrows.

    I was sent Naked Sundays to review while I was in Florida. So, let’s say I really got to test out the SPF aspects of the brand, but I also loved the makeup. Because the product is so clean, I didn’t hesitate to use the blush sticks on my young nieces. I think we will be seeing a lot more from this brand.  

    Naked Sundays SPF50 Sheer Glow Balm Sticks Trio
    PRICE: $55
    SHOP: @NakedSundays.com
    Makeup meets SPF with these multi-tasking mineral SPF sheer makeup sticks Trio includes three shades: Rosé, Champagne, and Espresso Martini – a rosy pink, a shimmering highlighter, and a subtle bronze that can be used as blush, highlighter, eye shadow base, lip color, and contour  To use, apply your usual SPF onto your clean face.
