Blog post for shelved Karma feature (previously unpublished) So, you just put your baby down for the night and you’re ready for a little “me” time. Of course, out of sight does not mean out of mind. Unless you were born with an extra set of detachable eyes that can see in the dark, you’ll need to invest in a good baby monitor. Their safety, your peace of mindLike babies, baby monitors come in all shapes and sizes; the trick is finding one that suits your lifestyle and budget. Here are a few options to set your sights on: Baby monitors: Audio If you go the budget-friendly route, you can expect some pretty basic features. While all monitors allow you to hear your baby crying, those with a two-way intercom let you whisper reassuring words back to them. Audio monitors are super portable, making them a great choice for traveling. They’re also affordable enough that you can buy a spare and leave it at the sitter's/grandparents’ house. Baby monitors: Video Don’t trust your ears? Video monitors give you a direct line of sight with your little one, and come in a couple of flavors:
Baby monitors: Breathing & movementFor something more advanced, consider a monitor that can track your baby’s respiration, either through a video system or wearable device (like a sock or smart clip that attaches to their clothing/diapers). You really can’t put a price on knowing your child is breathing normally. All the bells and whistlesGo the extra mile and choose a monitor with a temperature sensor, lights, vibration, lullabies, white noise—or any combination of these. Whichever baby monitor you've been eyeing, let Karma tell you when it's ripe for buying.

You’re constantly worried about dropping them and/or screwing up your posture in the process. Look ma, no hands! 🙌Baby carriers are a godsend for multi-tasking parents, as they keep your little one close to your body while freeing up your hands and arms. Plus, they’re proven to help soothe your baby as you go about your business. Before you get carried away with all the options, here are a few things to wrap your head around. Newborn vs toddlerIf you plan to use your baby carrier well into the toddler years, choose one that supports a heavier load and different carrying positions. However, if you just need a baby carrier for newborns, sling wraps are a good—and often cheaper—alternative. Baby carriers for twinsWhen carrying two bundles of joy, you should prioritize your and your babies’ safety and comfort above all else. Invest in an ergonomically designed front/back carrier that offers good weight distribution, as this will help to prevent back injury. If the carrier fitsDoes your baby have another caregiver besides you? If so, you might want to choose a carrier that can be adjusted to different body types. Keep it cleanBabies are little dirt magnets. Ensure you buy a carrier that’s machine washable so you can throw it in the laundry if necessary. Got your backIf you value comfort and safety, go for a carrier that has wide straps and offers good lumbar support. Pro tip: Keep your baby’s legs in an “M” position while carrying, as this is healthiest for their spine. And breathe!If you live in a hot climate, or are buying for the summer months, opt for a lightweight carrier made of breathable fabrics like mesh.

Writing assignment for SABON (previously unpublished)  Okay, we need to spill the tea. 🍵 It turns out that matcha, an ingredient commonly used in teas and smoothies, can do a whole lot more than reduce stress. The distinctive green powder comes from the Camellia Sinensis plant, which is naturally rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. In high enough concentrations, these nutrients help to purify and detox the skin, while boosting energy and cell metabolism. In other words, your skin is in for a real treat!  But the health benefits don’t end there. Beneath the surface, antioxidants in matcha tea work to strengthen your immune system so it can ward off those pesky free radicals you’ve been warned about. You know, the ones that eat away at your skin’s collagen, causing fine lines, wrinkles, and other unflattering skin blemishes. As far as superfoods go, matcha green tea is practically unmatched in its detoxifying and purifying capabilities—a fact that has not gone unnoticed by health professionals. Steeped in tradition Here in the West, we’re only just waking up to the incredible health benefits of matcha green tea. But matcha has been around for well over 800 years and has been a central part of the traditional tea ceremony in Japan for centuries. Today, the Japanese still practice this ancient ritual as a way to promote mindfulness, respect, and tranquility. They even use authentic tools such as the ceremonial tea bowl, bamboo whisk, and measuring ladle, just as their ancestors did. A matcha made in heavenThere are a couple of major differences that set matcha apart from other teas. For one thing, matcha, which literally means “powdered tea”, is made by grinding the whole tea leaf into a refined, talc-like powder, allowing it to retain its nutrient-dense composition. Regular unflavored tea, by comparison, is created from dried bits of the leaf, losing much of its goodness in the process. Another distinction is in the preparation. Unlike regular green tea bags, which are steeped, matcha powder is mixed directly into the water (it doesn’t technically dissolve). That means 100% of the health-giving nutrients get infused rather than the usual 5-10%. You’re essentially drinking the whole plant, as nature intended. Turn over a new leafIf the slightly bitter, vegetal taste of matcha isn’t your, er, cup of tea, there are other ways to enjoy its purifying properties.  SABON's limited-edition Blissful Green collection, for example, combines matcha tea with notes of mandarin, jasmine, and vanilla, creating a soothing, refreshing scent. Like the fine mist of a botanical garden in spring, our products will help flush all those nasty toxins out of your body, and leave your skin feeling rejuvenated and radiant.
