  • 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. 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
    SHOP: @thirdlove.com

    Molds to your shape – ultra-thin memory foam cups
    No-slip adjustable straps

  • 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. HigherDOSE launched its first at-home product in 2017: The coveted Infrared Sauna Blanket, which garnered explosive success and ignited the creation of more at-home devices. 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.

    There are a ton of serums out there that claim to work, BUT this one is clinically proven to. It even reigned superior to minoxidil in a peer-reviewed clinical trial.

    Babe Original is another brand that can give you the hair of your dreams. These gummies work while you sleep and do so much more than give you healthy hair; they simmer down stress and boost relaxation. And this Glossy Rinse makes hair so insanely shiny.

    Garnier still dominates our Shampoo and Conditioner picks with the Hair Filler line. This entire collection’s genius is that it fills in the gaps in the follicle where hair is damaged. My personal favorite is the strength repair. It whipped my over-processed hair back into shape.

    Garnier Fructis Strength Repair with Vitamin Cg
    PRICE: $9.99
    SHOP: @Amazon
    Repair hair with Garnier’s NEW 4-Step inner fiber repair collection, made to reverse the damage and fill the hair with strength. This sulfate-free Hair Filler + Vitamin Cg system is formulated with Vitamin Cg + Citric Acid + Repair Care Complex and fills weak, damaged hair with strength. Many factors can damage and weaken the hair fiber. These factors include brushing, styling tools, excessive washing, and environmental exposures like UV light and seawater. Made with Vitamin Cg — a well-known antioxidant that traps free radicals generated by external aggressors such as pollution and UV — as well as citric acid and Repair Care Complex, the system enables repair of the hair fiber and shields it against further mechanical and external damage. Fill hair with strength 7 layers deep with our system for inner fiber repair and outer visible transformation.

    And for all those big hair lovers out there (YEAH, YOU MILEY) who feel like Winter is your enemy with dry, static-filled strands…This nurturing and volumizing hair mask from NatureLab will be your new bestie!

    Best of Beauty on Daytime Chicago

    This morning, we’ve got the crème de la crème of beauty, from satiny lips that speak volumes to locks that turn heads. Today, we head back to Daytime Chicago to ShareTheGlam with some best-sellers from 2023 and the hottest, trendsetting products for 2024. 

    These lip colors won Allure’s Best of Beauty in 2023, and for a good reason: the shades are built to last, and so are the plumping and conditioning benefits.

    Sunrider Kandesn Lip Colors
    PRICE: $29.8
    SHOP: @sunrider.com
    Rich, creamy, and conditioning, the hydrating Kandesn® Lip Colors from Sunrider glide on seamlessly and feature high-impact hues that keep your lips soft, supple, and nourished.

    When it comes to hair, Mindy Mcknight knows a thing or two. The influencer created Hairitage, and it’s amazing. The Length Check! line is a sell-out, and you can’t go wrong at this price. 

    Hairitage Length Check! Shampoo & Conditioner Set
    PRICE: $15.94
    SHOP: @walmart
    Length Check! Shampoo and Conditioner cleanse and condition hair while helping hair feel stronger and reducing the appearance of breakage for longer, thicker hair.

Formulated for all hair types (1A – 4C) and made without sulfates, parabens, phthalates, or silicones.

    We’ve spoken about it before, and 2023 was the year when many of us ditched the lash extensions and embraced the enhancing serums. A lot of brands have tried to emulate it, but still, the GRANDE Dam of Serums is GrandeLASH. Sales and testimonials keep them on the top. 

    GrandeLASH-MD Lash Enhancing Serum
    PRICE: $68.00
    SHOP: @Sephora
    GrandeLASH-MD Lash Enhancing Serum is a clinically studied, safe, and innovative cosmetic solution to enhance the look of lashes.

Grande Cosmetics, the #1 Lash & Brow Serum Brand in America*, recently conducted another clinical study with over 115 participants that uncovered overwhelmingly positive results. GrandeLASH-MD was found NOT to cause periorbital fat loss or iris color change.

    2024 is here, and with the start of every year, the big focus is Self-Care. This body butter falls right in line, and hey, it’s winter, so we all need some hydration help. Plus, the scent is designed (and scientifically proven) to boost your mood!

The new Cheirosa 59 scent is scientifically shown to instantly boost your mood. In clinical studies, 98% said Delicia Drench Body Butter provided instant moisturization.

    And have you met Wellbel? This supplement line was created when a Harvard doctor’s sister approached him with hair loss woes. As soon as it became available, it’s been trending, especially the women+ formulation that is designed for ladies experiencing hormonal changes. Um, hello, sign me up!
