Sweeten Up Your Life: Discover the Best-Tasting Natural Sweetener

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

The problem with sugar is nothing new. We’ve heard about how dangerous sugar is for your body for years now. That’s why we’ve seen a huge increase in the number of natural sweeteners flooding the market.

Everywhere you look, you can find a substitute for sugar that claims to be the best. But many of those products are flavorless or leave you wanting more. 

And if it doesn’t taste good, what’s the point? You might as well stick with sugar – you know you won’t make it trying to replace your favorite treat with something that leaves you feeling unsatisfied. 

That’s why SweetLeaf does it better. At SweetLeaf, natural sugar substitutes aren’t new to us. They’ve been in the game for over 40 years, bringing you better-tasting, healthier substitutes for sugar.

Not only that, but now they’ve made it easier than ever to get the sweet taste you crave without feeling bad about it later. 

What’s Wrong With Sugar?

You can hear it shouted from the rooftops – stay away from sugar. But why? What’s so bad about eating sugar?

The truth is, sugar by itself isn’t a bad thing. It’s the OVER consumption of sugar that’ll get you in trouble. Eating too much sugar can lead to weight gain, heart disease, and diabetes in the long term. 

There’s also the short-term negative effects of too much sugar. This can show up as cavities, migraines, and those awful blood sugar spikes that can leave you feeling jittery or totally depleted. 

You may be thinking you can avoid eating too much sugar by cutting sugar out of your diet. That’s a common pitfall people get into when they want to avoid overconsumption. 

Unfortunately, nearly everything you can buy at a grocery store is loaded with hidden sugars. Fast food? Forget about it. You might as well down an entire bag of sugar by itself. Our culture is ruled by sugar. 

If you’re one of the disciplined ones who manages to reduce your sugar intake, it’s likely that you’ll fall right back into the sugar temptation within a few days or weeks. Our bodies are so conditioned to eat sugar that without its sweet taste, our mind goes into crazy cravings mode. You won’t be satisfied until you allow yourself to indulge. 

And then the negative sugar cycle starts all over. 

The bottom line: too much sugar is a problem for our bodies but cutting it out isn’t sustainable for most people. We need a natural sweetener to act as a substitute for sugar so we can get all the taste without any of the consequences. 

The Natural Sweetener Your Body Craves

When it comes to natural sweeteners, it’s all about the taste without the crash later. 

SweetLeaf natural sweeteners do it differently. 

Here’s why their sweeteners are better tasting and better for you:

  • Stevia. Stevia’s a common plant in Central and South America. It has an intensely sweet taste – up to 300 times that of sugar, which means you don’t need much to pack a punch. The best part is, it has zero calories so you can indulge without the guilt. Stevia also doesn’t affect your blood sugar like normal sugar so those jitters and crashes are a thing of the past. They were the first to bring stevia to the United States over 40 years ago. So they’ve had plenty of time to test, try, and create the perfect recipe to bring you the sweetest, most delicious taste using the stevia plant.
  • Monk Fruit. They added monk fruit to our family of products in 2020, but it’s been a staple in Chinese medicine for years. Monk fruit is up to 200 times sweeter than sugar and has zero calories. Just like stevia, you get the sweetness you crave without the negative consequences to your body.

These two natural ingredients plus their dedication to bringing you the best tasting sweeteners on the market are a recipe for success. Their passion means a sweeter, healthier life for you.

Taste and Versatility: A Winning Combination

The first question everyone has when trying something new to replace an old favorite is, “Is it going to taste good?”

When it comes to SweetLeaf natural sweeteners, the answer is an easy *YES!*

SweetLeaf prides itself in crafting the best-tasting sugar substitutes. Their unique formulas enhance the natural ingredients and give you a pure, sweet taste. 

Maybe you’ve tried other stevia products before that left you with an awkward aftertaste or tingly feeling in your mouth. You won’t find that here. These sweeteners blend in naturally so you won’t notice a difference in the taste, just in how amazing you feel afterwards. 

But don’t just take our word for it. Check out one of the 30+ awards their delicious sweeteners have won for their taste and innovation. They’re the best and have the recognition to prove it.

And something that tastes this good deserves to be more than a one-trick pony. 

You can use SweetLeaf sweeteners in just about anything. From coffee to baking to adding a splash of sweetness to your favorite dishes, we’ll help you get the sweetness you crave without the junk.

Not only is SweetLeaf bringing the sweetness to your favorite recipes, but they also want to encourage your kitchen creativity. Check out their Sweet Drops, which come in a variety of flavors, to bring some change into your recipes. 

Add their natural sweeteners to any recipe in your wheelhouse and feel the difference – a seamless mesh of natural sweetness with your recipe – no aftertaste, no guilt, no side effects. 

All the sweetness. None of the guilt. Talk about a recipe for success. 

Making the Switch to Natural Sweeteners

Switching from sugar to a natural sweetener doesn’t have to be tough or scary. Use these tips to make the transition a little easier.

  • Start slow. Take it one recipe at a time. Replace the sugar with their natural sweeteners little by little. This gives your body time to adjust.
  • Experiment. Try out different flavors and recipes. Some need a little more, some need a little less. Look at cooking as an experiment to create perfection.
  • Learn more. If you start to waver, brush up on your research about the health benefits of stevia and monk fruit. Chances are, you’ll be motivated again in no time. 

Changing your lifestyle can feel daunting. Rely on SweetLeaf’s made-from-nature sweeteners to make substituting sugar an easy, tasty decision you’ll feel good about.

Moms are Loving Revela for Postpartum Hair Loss

by Maria West Leave a Comment

By Maria West

There’s hair, hair everywhere—except your mom-bun. Postpartum hair loss and shedding for women who have just started getting the hang of this parenting thing. Thankfully, we’re seeing innovative scientists and doctors address these issues with products that are more than just remixes of the same ingredients. 

Revela, a biotech company specializing in ingredient discovery built by a team of Harvard scientists, is getting to the root of the hair-loss problem (no pun intended). Here’s how they’re helping moms address hair growth postpartum and beyond.

What’s the deal with postpartum hair loss? 

Let’s start with the good news: hair grows back! Moms who experience postpartum hair loss typically see a return to fullness by baby’s first birthday. But as any toddler parent can tell you, that can feel like an eternity.

Falling estrogen levels after pregnancy can cause excessive shedding, leaving moms with less to hold in their scrunchie and confidence. Hair loss happens when hair follicles go dormant and need stimulation. 

There are natural remedies for combatting hair loss after a baby, but sometimes it takes a little boost. This is true for postpartum conditions or hair-thinning due to aging in women and men. As long as those hair follicles are still living, all hope is not lost. 

Moms are loving Revela’s Hair Revival Serum

Revela’s star product, the Hair Revival Serum, is designed for anyone experiencing hair loss, shedding, and thinning. But what makes it so great? 

Revela’s team of scientists and researchers used artificial intelligence to discover ProCelinyl, a first-of-its-kind molecule targeting hair follicle health. Its unique formula makes it a dermatologist-recommended product that won’t ruin your hair day like other goopy options.  

The proof is in the pudding: participants in Revela’s clinical trial saw hair-growth results in just six weeks.

How to use Revela’s Growth Pack

Revela’s Growth Pack contains two Hair Revival Serums and a scalp massager. If used daily, the serum can last up to eight weeks. 

To apply: Fill one dropper and put it directly on your scalp. Revela recommends targeting your part, hairline, and any other problem areas. The formula is lightweight enough to be applied every day, on towel dried hair or before styling. 

Results: Consistency is key. According to Revela’s customer reviews and clinical trials, most people see results after six to eight weeks of daily application. After you see the results you’re are confident with, you can decrease usage to just a few times per week for maintenance and prevention.

Who can use Revela?

Anyone needing a hair-growth boost can benefit from Revela’s revolutionary system. Examples include:

  • Mothers experiencing postpartum hair loss 
  • Hair thinning due to aging in men and women
  • Hormonal changes (e.g., menopause) 
  • People experiencing traction alopecia (hair loss along the hairline from wearing tight hairstyles)

Note: If you are experiencing severe hair loss, talk to your doctor. Revela and other hair shedding and loss solutions will not work on dead hair follicles. Similarly, see your dermatologist if hair growth does not return after one year postpartum.  

The moms have spoken: Revela is the hair care solution for combatting postpartum hair loss and shedding. Check out the Hair Revival Serum to see how you can get fuller hair in six to eight weeks. Plus, use the code GUGUGURU10 for 10% off!

Thank you to Revela for making this sponsored post possible!

Real Mom Reviews: Belabumbum

by Abby Ludwig Leave a Comment

Belabumbum is all about comfort. Throughout pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond, their items have been created with mamas in mind. As moms, we are always on the hunt for high-quality, multifunctional clothing items. Those comfy basics that you need each day, but also want to wear. The problem is, there are so many items out there and many of them are uncomfortable! We sent some of our real moms a set of Belabumbum’s eco-friendly (and ethically sourced) leakproof intimates to review. Here’s what they had to say:

Kelsey, 2nd Time Mom

The Belabumbum products were better than I could have imagined! I loved the material and femininity of the Enora nursing bra. The bra was super easy to clip and I liked how the leakproof nursing pads could slip in and give it some extra padding. The nursing pad material was thick, moisture-wicking, and truly way better than the itchy disposal nursing pads I have used in the past. 

The smoothing brief was my favorite! It felt very secure and the absorbent lining was an extra bonus. The low rise brief was a good option to wear with jeans or a lower waisted pant. Both briefs are a buttery soft material and all products tried were true to size!

Alex, 1st time Mom

The leakproof bra and pads have been great during my breastfeeding and pumping journey! My little one is almost 5 months old and I’ve worn it a couple of times each week when I want something a little sexier than my usual pumping sports bra. The bra is very comfortable and the lace doesn’t show under my top. I typically leak in the morning and didn’t have any issues with the pad inserts when I wore them – kept me leak-free!

The panties weren’t for me as the sizing seemed to be inconsistent with regular sizing. I received my true size, but they were almost two sizes too big and I was unable to wear them. In my opinion, the panties are better suited for maternity vs postpartum.

Christine, 2nd Time Mom

These are my favorite reusable nursing pads that I’ve tried. The non-slip design on the outside keeps them in place, even in nursing tanks where they’d normally slide around. They’re thick and absorbent to prevent any leaking. The nursing bra is comfortable and the touch of lace is tasteful and flattering. Something fun for a nursing bra.

While I can’t speak to the leakproof functionality, I thought the undies were very comfortable. They were definitely something I can see myself wearing. I do think the high rise would probably be more comfortable immediately postpartum or even while pregnant.

Thank you to Belabumbum for allowing our moms to test your wonderful products.
