West Status built the road map discovering reputable ways to emit authenticity in the chaos. We share ways to purely be your elite self, your higher status.
On Friday mornings, we just expose; spilling the tea all over the place.
ONE. Red Light Therapy
Red light therapy offers a pleasant and rejuvenating way to promote overall wellness and skincare. With the ability to penetrate deep into the skin, red light therapy stimulates collagen production, reduces inflammation, and improves circulation and dark circles all while requiring minimal effort.
This calming hobby is the perfect way to enhance skin health, reduce inflammation, and boost mood and energy levels without the need for strenuous activity.
We're all about multitasking once the red light mask is on, not just feeling revitalized but also productive. Jackpot.

*Quick tip - When choosing a red light LED face mask, prioritizing FDA approval ensures that the product has undergone rigorous testing and is actually proven to work.
It’s important to look for masks that feature both red light and near-infrared light, as they penetrate different layers of the skin, boost circulation, improve blood flow, promote oxygen to the skin cells, and can even aid in wound healing and muscle relaxation.
Optimal wavelengths for red light range between 630 and 670 nanometers, while near-infrared light should be at least 800 nanometers. Additionally, it’s super important to consider the Irradiance, popularly known as the power of the lights, (typically measured in milliwatts per square centimeter (mw/cm²), aiming for a range between 30 and 150 mw/cm² for best results.
Our top recommendation: The Dennis Gross Red Light Face Mask is the best choice, as it hits all of the sweet spots and meets the criteria for effective and safe usage.
TWO. 24K Gold Collagen Eye Masks
We swear by these collagen eye masks for prepping before any event, ahead of a night out, or while on the go traveling - always on hand for an immediate glow-up.

THREE. Debunking the viral chin strap
We became a sucker for the viral advertising known as the depuffing chin strap for double chins. The products seem simple, lined with impressive ingredients to contribute to a “contoured appearance”.
So, does it truly deliver on its promises to sculpt, depuff, and define the jawline? Oh shit, and eliminate saggy skin - don’t forget that product promise as well.
We had some friends test it out … (emphasis on the dot dot dot)
FOUR. Cotton Throw Blanket

Now that we're on the same page, let's chat.
This sassy yet incredibly cozy cotton blanket is a praise to women. Many of our friends are breast cancer survivors/previvors, and they deserve a gift that combines comfort with a dash of humor.

SEVEN. Anti-Aging Sleeping Tip
Sleeping on your back. But if you are like us, and it's really hard to fall asleep on your back, this is the next best option.
Dermatologists will always say that they can tell which side of your face you are sleeping on more. Side sleeping can compress your face, leading to wrinkles and potentially affecting the surrounding nerves.
This product cradles your face, preventing the formation of wrinkles when sleeping on your side.
It comes highly recommended, earning a perfect 10 out of 10 rating.
ps. It's also insanely comfortable.
Drink your tea, and enjoy the weekend.
