    ALL-IN-ONE IS PERFECT FOR TRAVEL:

    Earth Day Easy Changes for 2024

    Next Monday is Earth Day, a great time to start making small yet impactful changes to your environmental footprint. Beauty expert Mickey Williams returns to Daytime Chicago with a selection of top-performing products that prioritize sustainability and kindness. Whether for personal beauty needs or family care, we’ve got cleaner options that promise effectiveness without compromising quality.

    Starting off in the Shower:
    Brands have made a huge shift to make body wash and soap better for Mother Earth, but when it comes to hair, we may be less likely to change because we really need products that work to our specific needs. Let me introduce you to Renpure…

    Renpure’s Tea Tree & Rosemary Shampoo + Conditioner Set
    PRICE: $15.11
    SHOP: @amazon
    Renpure’s Tea Tree & Rosemary Shampoo + Conditioner is crafted to invigorate the senses as it gently cleanses oily hair and soothes dry-scalp, balancing moisture and shine.

    POST SHOWER:
    This next brand is a Tanya favorite, so I brought the newest formula. The brand Hempz uses hemp, a sustainable product that helps the environment. Hempz products are vegan and cruelty-free and made without parabens, harsh sulfates, and phthalates. Hemp is a sustainable ingredient that replenishes itself in 90 days, doesn’t require herbicides or pesticides, and regenerates the soil.

    Favorite Eco-friendly Beauty:
    LanoLips came onto my radar when I became a mother and started using their 101 balm while breastfeeding. Their newest product is fabulous and, of course, so clean and good to use as a mother, but it is also kind to Mother Earth. 

    Lanolips Lip Scrub
    PRICE: $13.50
    SHOP: @ulta

Formulated for all skin types, the line includes everything needed for a complete skincare regimen: a toner, serum, cream, lotion, eye cream, and cleanser.

  • Body Positivity LOVE on Suncoast View

    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.

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

  • Winter Healing Products on WGN Daytime

    Winter Healing Products on WGN Daytime

    This time of year, we take a long, hard look at what the winter has done to our skin and mood. Today on Daytime Chicago, I’m back to showcase some of my favorite products for healing and hydrating we’ve been reviewing here at ShareTheGlam. 

    This first product has an eczema cream that is big with my mommy community. However, the wound gel is my go-to for any nicks or scrapes you get in colder months to prevent scarring. It’s fantastic any time of year, but winter boo-boos can really scar once the skin gets dried out.

    Lavior Hydrogel Wound Dressing
    PRICE: $21.95
    SHOP: @walmart
    -Faster Healing- This clinically proven innovation tackles a wide range of concerns, from minor cuts to wounds & burns, with quick, visible results.
    -Instant Relief: Lavior Wound Gel soothes the sting of minor burns and scrapes instantly with its natural formula. Lavior’s blend of botanical ingredients forms a protective barrier, preventing infection and promoting healthy healing.
    -Powerful Protection: Lavior’s unique properties help prevent infection and promote healthy tissue formation, creating a safe environment for healing. Lavior offers powerful protection for all types of wounds, cuts, burns, scrapes. 

    Infrared Light is not only a mood healer; it detoxifies and balances skin to the core. We are obsessed with this sauna blanket! OBSESSED! 

    HigherDOSE Infrared Sauna Blanket
    PRICE: $699
    SHOP: @higherdose.com
    PROMO CODE: WGN15 for 15% OFF
    Lauren Berlingeri and Katie Kaps, entrepreneurs and biohackers, founded HigherDOSE in 2016.

Wrap yourself in this snug blanket designed to enhance the benefits of infrared technology, promoting glowing skin, muscle recovery, improved circulation, detoxification, and calorie burning. It also provides healing and calming energy, with layers including amethyst and tourmaline for added benefits, charcoal to eliminate pollutants, and clay to emit negative ions and restore balance. Beloved by Gwyneth Paltrow, Amy Schumer, and Nikki Reed.

    We thought we’d use an oil-based soap in the winter to see if it really paid off for long-term hydration. This hybrid soap by Epicutis is like oil, which lathers and removes all your makeup without stripping your skin of natural oils. 

    Epicutis Cleansing Oil
    PRICE: $89
    SHOP: @Epicutis.com
    This oil cleanser forms micelles around the materials you wish to wash away, such as dirt, makeup, oils, etc. These micelles encapsulate them, allowing these unwanted materials to wash off with just water. The Epicutis difference: Typical cleansers create these micelles but use detergents that can break down our skin barrier and cause irritation. 4 OZ + 9 Ingredients

    Is LUXE really worth it? We tested the Defenage hand and body cream, and yes, it does work fast, and it’s not greasy. Is it worth the price tag? If you want to use a cream that hydrates and also will get rid of crepey skin…and have the funds, this is your jam. 

    Defenage 10 LUXE HAND AND BODY CREAM
    PRICE: $184
    SHOP: @Defenage.com
    If you ever mused aloud, “I wish I could slather my entire body with DefenAge,” then the new 10 Luxe Hand & Body Cream is an anti-aging hand cream that answers your call. According to key opinion leaders in aesthetic medicine, our new regenerative anti-aging body lotion for crepey skin delivers much more than a product that feels soft to the touch.
