Electrolytes 101: Key to Optimal Hydration

I wanted to give a brief overview of what electrolytes are exactly, why they are vital for our overall health and when you can benefit from supplementing with them. Being hydrated is so important, not only for our skin health, but also for our overall wellbeing. Electrolytes actually bring water INTO your cells. Which is why they are key for optimal hydration. You can drink plain water, but without a good amount of minerals in it, you are not actually hydrating your cells. There are many ways to get more electrolytes into your body. We will talk about that below!

What are electrolytes?

Electrolytes are minerals, such as, calcium, sodium, magnesium and potassium. Once these are emerged in water and into our body, they are then electrically charged. And these charged mineral ions, are what sends signals through our bodies, that aid in many major and important functions. Such as, nerve impulses, regulating blood pressure, maintaining proper PH in our body, and they help to send signals to our brains, our nerves and our muscles, in order to function properly.

When we need to supplement

Anyone who is sweating a lot. This would include, athletes most definitely, but also those who work out 30 minutes or more, those participating in a sports game, those who are using saunas regularly and those who are in the. sun and hot temperatures a lot. These people can all benefit from using electrolytes. When we sweat, we are losing a lot of the important minerals, that our bodies need to function and perform. This can leave us feeling short of breath, weakened and even get a little bit spacey. Low electrolytes can also cause muscle cramping. (leg cramps, Charlie horses and muscle twitches)

When you are sick, having diarrhea or vomiting, this is when it is also very important to replenish your electrolyte content, as we loose a lot of our mineral content through vomiting and diarrhea, as well as sweating.

People that have adrenal issues, adrenal insufficiency or that have a condition called POTS, usually all benefit from using electrolytes, as they support healthy adrenal gland function.

You can ask your medical professional more about these issues and if electrolytes are are beneficial for you.

Ways to get electrolytes

Pupular sports drinks such as Powerade or gatorade have electrolytes, but they also have lots of sugar and food dye in them, so I would recommend staying away from those. They do make a natural organic version of those sports drinks called “Recharge.” You can also drink coconut water for a good source of electrolytes, it is especially higher in Potassium. They make enhanced waters, with electrolytes added into them. There is a local company where I live, that offers a liquid concentrate of electrolytes, called Lyte Balance. You just pour a capful or two into a glass of water or beverage. It makes 64 drinks per bottle! You can order this on Amazon. There are also many brands that make powdered versions of electrolytes. This makes it very easy and convenient to take on the go and add it to your daily water cups/bottles. You can pack them with you when you travel, bring them to the gym during your workouts. going to work, running errands, etc. Some cleaner brands that I have tried are, LMNT, Instant Hydration and Ultima. I like the mineral content balance that Instant Hydration provides, myself. Other ways to get electrolytes are from pickle juice and foods we eat, such as avocados, bananas and sweet potatoes, to name a few. You may also put a little bit of pink salt or celtic salt into water, as these two types of salt have a higher concentration of trace minerals that we all need. If you have not tried electrolyte powders before, they are very salty tasting and can take a little time getting used to, but it will get better once you adjust to the taste. I find myself craving them now!

If you have any further questions about electrolytes, I would advise you to check out the websites of any of the above companies, as they go into much more depth about the importance of electrolytes and how and when to use them appropriately!

Of course, this is not medical advice. I am not a medical practitioner, so always be sure to check and ask questions with your Dr if you have questions regarding your health. Thanks for taking the time to read this overview on electrolytes and how they can help us stay hydrated at the cell level. Cozy Up…and Be Well!

Happy New Year from Cozy Up Wellness

As we step into 2025, we’re filled with gratitude for your support and excited for all the possibilities this year holds. This is the perfect time to reset, refocus, and prioritize your wellness and self-care. At Cozy Up Wellness, we believe that small, intentional practices can lead to big transformations in your health, happiness, and confidence.

Here are some tips and wellness practices to help you thrive in 2025:

1. Start Your Year with Intention

Take a moment to reflect on what you want to achieve this year—whether it’s improving your skincare routine, finding more balance in your life, reducing stress, moving your body more, or embracing a holistic lifestyle. Writing down your goals can help turn them into actionable habits.

2. Embrace Simple, Natural Skincare

Your skin is your body’s largest organ, that absorbs everything! So what you put on it, really matters! Using natural, toxic free, organic skincare products- like the ones we offer, helps to nourish your skin without exposing it to harmful chemicals.

• Why Natural Skincare? Many conventional skincare products contain synthetic ingredients that can disrupt your body’s natural processes, and even harm your cells and organs. Organic ingredients work with your skin to support its natural balance, reduce irritation, and improve long-term health.

• Holistic Benefits: When you use clean, simple products, you’re not just taking care of your skin—you’re making a conscious choice to live a more mindful, healthy lifestyle.

3. Simple But Effective Skincare Routines

You don’t need a 10-step routine to achieve glowing, healthy skin. In fact, simplicity is key! Here’s an easy routine to follow:

1. Cleanse: Use a gentle cleanser to remove dirt and impurities without stripping your skin’s natural oils.

2. Hydrate: Our rose water mist can provide refreshing hydration throughout the day.

3. Moisturize: Lock in moisture with a nutrient-rich facial oil or our tallow balm.

4. Protect: Don’t forget to apply SPF during the day to shield your skin from harmful UV rays.

By sticking to a simple regimen, you’re less likely to overwhelm your skin and more likely to see consistent, long-term results.

4. Incorporate Wellness Practices into Your Daily Routine

• Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin and body hydrated.

• Eat Whole Foods: Your skin reflects your diet, so focus on nutrient-dense meals that fuel your body.

• Practice Mindfulness: Stress can take a toll on your skin, so take time each day to relax and recharge—whether it’s through meditation, movement, or simply taking a walk outdoors.

5. Choose Quality Over Quantity

With so many products on the market, it can be tempting to try them all. However, sticking to a few high-quality, natural products can make a world of difference. At Cozy Up Wellness, we’re committed to formulating small-batch, handcrafted products that you can trust, to support your skins health and beauty, as well as, improve your bodies overall health, by avoiding the harsh and toxic chemicals.  

Here’s to a Year of Wellness Ahead! 

We hope 2025 is your best year yet—one filled with health, happiness, coziness and radiant skin. Thank you for choosing Cozy Up Wellness, to be part of your journey. We’re here to support you every step of the way with products that make self-care simple, effective, and truly natural.

Cheers to a blessed, cozy and healthy year ahead!

Yours truly,

Pure and Nourishing: Tallow Balm Skincare Secrets Unveiled

When it comes to skincare, finding a product that delivers real nourishment can sometimes feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. Many lotions and creams are packed with synthetic ingredients, artificial fragrances, and preservatives that can do more harm than good. But… with tallow balm- it’s a long time-tested, natural skincare remedy, that’s been gaining more popularity in the modern beauty world. If you’re looking for a product that hydrates, nourishes, and revitalizes your skin without the nasties, tallow balm may be your next favorite skincare prod to try!

So what exactly is tallow balm, and why is it so good for your skin? Let’s dive in.

What is Tallow Balm?

Tallow is a form of rendered fat, typically from cows, and has been used for centuries in skincare. It’s rich in nutrients, vitamins, and fatty acids, that are highly compatible with human skin. Tallow closely mimics the natural composition of our skin’s sebum, making it an ideal moisturizer for all skin types, even sensitive skin.

 Skin Benefits of Tallow Balm

1. **Deep Hydration and Moisture Retention**

   Tallow is incredibly nourishing because it contains a unique blend of saturated and unsaturated fats. These fats help to lock in moisture, creating a protective barrier on the skin that prevents water loss. Unlike many commercial lotions that leave a greasy residue, tallow balm absorbs quickly into the skin, providing long-lasting hydration, without the lingering stickiness. 

2. **Nutrient-Rich Formula**

   Tallow is packed with fat-soluble vitamins like **A, D, E, and K**, which are crucial for skin health. These vitamins promote skin regeneration, improve elasticity, and help protect against environmental damage. Vitamin A, in particular, is known for its anti-aging benefits, helping to reduce fine lines and wrinkles by promoting cell turnover.

3. **Supports Skin Barrier Function**

   Tallow contains stearic acid, oleic acid, and palmitic acid—essential fatty acids that strengthen the skin’s natural barrier. A healthy skin barrier is key, to preventing irritants from entering- and moisture from escaping. By supporting your skin’s barrier function, tallow balm can help soothe dry, irritated, or inflamed skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, or dermatitis.

4. **Promotes Healing and Repair**

   Thanks to its natural compatibility with our skin, tallow balm promotes faster healing of cuts, scrapes, burns, and other minor skin injuries. The fatty acids and vitamins in tallow support the regeneration of new skin cells, making it an excellent choice for people dealing with acne scars, stretch marks, or sun damage.

5. **Non-Comedogenic**

   Contrary to what you might think, tallow balm is non-comedogenic, meaning it won’t clog your pores. This makes it suitable for individuals with acne-prone skin, as it helps balance the skin’s natural oil production without causing breakouts.

6. **Natural and Pure**

   One of the standout benefits of tallow balm is its simplicity. It’s often made with just a few ingredients—tallow and perhaps some essential oils for fragrance or added benefits. This makes it a great choice for those with sensitive skin or anyone trying to avoid harmful chemicals and preservatives, that are found in many over-the-counter products.

 How to Use Tallow Balm in Your Skincare Routine:

Tallow balm is incredibly versatile and can be used in a variety of ways:

 *Moisturizer: After cleansing, apply a small amount of tallow balm to your face or body. Its rich texture means a little goes a long way.

*Night Cream: For an extra boost of hydration, use tallow balm as a nighttime moisturizer, allowing it to work its magic, while you sleep.

*Spot Treatment: Dab a bit of tallow balm on dry skin patches, eczema, cuts, scrapes or any other problem areas to help soothe anywhere on the body!

*Makeup Remover: Believe it or not, tallow balm can also work as a gentle makeup remover, effortlessly lifting away dirt, makeup, and impurities without stripping the skin.

 Why Choose Our Tallow Balm?

At Cozy Up Wellness, we believe in the power of simple, natural ingredients. Our whipped tallow balm is crafted from dry rendered, local sustainably sourced beef. We also use organic olive oil and organic jojoba oil for added skin nourishment benefits. As well as, lavender and frankincense essential oils, to provide a beautiful scent to the balm and to deliver more added benefits to your skin! Our tallow balm is packed with the highest quality nutrients for your skin. Free from synthetic additives, parabens, and fragrances, our balm is designed to give your skin the nourishment it deserves—naturally! 

Tallow balm is a powerful, nutrient-dense skincare option that can benefit a wide range of skin types and concerns. Whether you’re looking for deep hydration, healing, or anti-aging properties, tallow balm offers a pure and effective solution. Try incorporating it into your routine today and experience the difference of truly pure and natural skincare.

Storage of tallow balm:

Tallow balm can melt down in temperatures of 90-104 degrees Fahrenheit. So keep your tallow balm in a regulated temperature in your home. If it melts down in shipping/delivery, or while traveling in hot temperatures, it’s no problem- Simply, just put the tallow balm container in the fridge for 20-30 minutes and it will set back up to its normal consistency!

Ready to try tallow balm for yourself? Explore our collection and give your skin the natural boost it needs.

Cozy Up Wellness Bath Soaks

Pink Himalayan salt also helps sooth bug bites and sores on the skin, alleviating those pesky painful discomforts on the skin. 

Dead Sea Salt, comes from the Dead Sea, which is located in the Jordan rift Valley. Right near Southern Israel. It is known to be located on the lowest land based point of elevation there is on Earth. The Dead Sea holds an extremely high level of salt content. It is 10 times more salty then any of our Oceans. Dead Sea Salts contain many minerals including magnesium, bromide, chloride, calcium, potassium and sodium. They can help improve the function of the skin barrier and are known to help improve eczema and other dry skin conditions.

Epsom salts contain a huge amount of magnesium. There are many types of magnesium, but Epsom salts are known as magnesium sulfate. Magnesium is a mineral that is crucial for operating lots of vital roles in the body. In the last century, it has been shown that most Americans have had a 50% decline in magnesium, leading to deficiency. Not cool! Soaking in magnesium, (Epsom salts) will actually improve your magnesium levels, by absorbing into the body through the skin! Super Cool! Epsom salts help ease muscle aches and tension by helping to relax the muscles, relieves stress, helps to flush toxins from the body, improves circulation! Perfect for a relaxing bath! To get the best benefits of Epsom salts, is to soak 3 times a week in a bath, for at least 12-15 minutes.    

Baking Soda, has an alkaline PH level, which can help neutralize your bodies PH. When used in bath water, it is known to help ease urinary tract infection discomforts. It also helps to alleviate itchy, inflamed and/or other skin discomfits such as sunburns, insect bites, eczema, psoriasis, diaper rash, chicken pox, etc. as well as aids in detox, when added to baths along with salts.

Organic and Gluten-Free Colloidal Oats, are finely ground oats, that will suspend in the water. They are an emollient, which helps to soften and sooth the skin. You can add them to your bath or make a paste or salve to place on your skin, to get nourishing skin benefits. Colloidal Oats add great moisture to the skin. They are beneficial for helping dry, itchy skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis, other extreme dry skin conditions and for those who are sensitive to harsh chemicals and fragrances.

Amazing Almonds

Why you can’t help but LOVE Almond Oil!

Almond oil has been used for centuries in Chinese Medicine and Ayurvedic practices, to aid in treating numerous skin conditions. Such as, psoriasis and eczema flare ups on the skin. It has anti-inflammatory properties that can help calm the skin and help to treat itchiness, redness or pesky dry patches! 

It helps improve acne for some people! The almond oil actually can help to break down debris and other excess oils built up in your pores, while soothing and softening the skin, without clogging your pores! It’s an all around Win! “Oil cleansing” your skin, has actually had lovely results they have found in the more recent years! 

Almond oil helps to rid dark circles and puffiness under the eyes! 

Almond oil is sensitive enough to use daily and safe for most all skin types, unless you have nut sensitivities or allergies, then Do NOT use! 

Almond oil has been said to help improve and even out skin tone. It can help reduce appearance of scars, dark circles, stretch marks. It works best when it is massaged into the skin Vs, just doing a light application on the surface of the skin! So rub it into the skin for a few seconds or minutes, for best application! Plus it’s more enjoyable this way too!!

It’s wonderful for treating split ends. Using almond oil in your hair can help contribute to healthy strong hair and sooth irritated scalps! 

Some have said it has helped their eye lashes grow thicker, longer and stronger when they applied the oil very carefully to their eyelashes, using a clean mascara wand. **Avoid getting it into the eye** 

Softens skin! Almond oil works as a wonderful body and face moisturizer. It softens the skin, leaving glowing, dewy and hydrated skin! This is also why it can help prevent stretch marks. The oil adds so much moisture and softness to the skin, which in turn helps the skin stretch easier! Apposed to, if skin was dry and not well moisturized, then the skin may not be able to have as much of a stretch capacity as easily, causing potential stretch marks and skin itchiness/discomfort. 

Almond oil has been shown to help reverse sun damage. It also has natural Sun Protection Factor Properties- around 4-5 SPF! This should not act solely as your Sunscreen. However, lathering up in this oil before using your SPF of choice, is a double-added win! 

Almond oil contains, HIGH vitamin E, Vitamin A, fatty acids, potassium, zinc and many other minerals!

Almond oil is great to use on the nails and cuticle! It helps keep nails strong as well as moisturized! As said above, almond oil contains a good amount of zinc and wonderful  levels of vitamin E! Both of which can help keep your nails from breaking or becoming weak and thin! 

Our cuticle Salve contains 60% pure and organic almond oil- formulated that way, because almond oil is just that amazing, for your nail health! (You can check out our cuticle salve here!) https://www.etsy.com/listing/808466797/organic-cuticle-salve?ref=shop_home_active_5

Almond oil is definitely an oil I keep around for the MANY benefits it offers, in just one bottle! 

*Caution* do not use almond oil if you have known nut allergies! And always spot test new products, on a small patch of your skin, before applying it in larger amounts to your body!
