To dare to disturb the universe with an original, strong, beautiful, smart, funny, and fun beauty and health site.

Daring because it’s created and written by An Actual Journalist with world-class medical, beauty, and journalist advisors.

Universal because we’re connecting real beauty and health information with real women and girls who care about those things as much as we do.

As for our name, More Lovely. It was inspired by Shakespeare’s Sonnet 18: 

 

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?

Thou art more lovely…

In our context, this means you were born lovely. So you’re already lovely. And you can be more with the right guidance, experts, and products.

Let us go then, you and I.

Schedule a Self-Care Day-to-Night with Pursoma’s Wellness Kit

By Bebe Hodges

Let’s face it: For many of us recently, health has constantly been on our minds. During the winter, we tend to pay more attention to our physical wellness as we fight cold and flu season; and, this year, our focus on this topic is only heightened. To protect ourselves from sickness, specifically COVID-19, we need to follow proper CDC guidelines like mask-wearing and social distancing. But for our mental wellness, we might turn to activities like meditation, journaling, or at-home spa treatments.

Pursoma’s Wellness Immunity Kit (on sale for $69, normally $88) might be just the trick for helping you mentally get through a long day. The kit includes two bath treatments, a body brush, three herbal wellness teas, and a bonus-gift water bottle. Used together, the contents are perfect for a day of self-care.

Here’s the Pursoma schedule:

Wake up with a Just Breathe Ritual.

The Just Breathe Ritual bath treatment is perfect if you expect a stressful day ahead. The eucalyptus scent is relaxing, and your calm continues long past your soak. Why? Because, unlike other bath treatments I’ve used in the past, no dyes are left behind after you drain your tub. This no-mess treat is great for a busy morning.

Get Dressed with the Detox Beauty® Body Brush.

Once you leave the bath and dry off, grab the Detox Beauty ® Body brush and, starting with your feet, make upward bushing motions. As you move the dry brush across your body, the tool should stimulate blood flow. The glow of your skin will thank you.

Take a sip of the Pursoma Water Bottle and Wellness Teas throughout your day.

Keeping the Pursoma water bottle — a free gift included with purchase — on my desk reminded me to stay hydrated throughout the day. When I wasn’t drinking from my bottle, I sipped on the three-pack of teas — Lavender Mint, Turmeric Ginger, and Banana Chamomile. I would recommend enjoying the first two teas early on and saving the banana chamomile bag for bedtime.

Chill out after a long day with the Hot Tub™ bath treatment.

Although the Hot Tub™ bath treatment is marketed as “cold + flu relief,” I, sans-illness, tested it for relaxation. You empty the contents of the entire package in your tub and voilà: you are now relaxing in a mud spa. As someone who loves baths and bath treatments, the product was unlike any that I’ve used before; completely transforming my white bathtub into a mud oasis. When you’re finished, you can step out of the tub and grab your towel — no rinsing off needed.

Ahhh, now who’s ready for bed with a warm cup of Banana Chamomile?
