Hugs are the best medicine for the giver and receiver!
A proper hug where you heart touches the other person’s heart can aid you with the following health benefits:Hugging leads to release of love hormones called Oxytocin, which fights feeling of depressions, loneliness and also fits of anger.It promotes a sense of safety, trust and honesty in a person.A long hug results in an increase in serotonin levels, which elevates your mood and makes your happy.A hug can strengthen the immune system. The gentle pressure on the sternum and the emotional charge this creates activates the Solar Plexus Chakra. This stimulates the thymus gland, which regulates and balances the body’s production of white blood cells, which keep you healthy.Hugging is a way improves one’s self esteem and helps in nurturing the ability to love oneself.As they boost blood circulation to the softer tissues hugs can ease your pains, relax your muscles and can also relax your body.Hugs are similar to meditation or even laughter. You’re mind stops thinking and you live in the moment. So you get out of your circular thinking patterns and unite with your heart, emotions and breathing simultaneously.Hugs get you out of your circular thinking patterns and connect you with your heart and your feelings and your breath.According to Virginia Satir, an American author and psychotherapist, “We need four hugs a day for survival. We need eight hugs a day for maintenance. We need twelve hugs a day for growth.”

Prevention is key- how to keep your skin looking its best.
Just like with health care, prevention really is best. Knowing when to kick up your tools (and actually doing it) will keep your skin looking good rather than having to do the dirty repair work later. You may also kick up these tools just to look your very best for a special occasion.What are good times to kick up your tools?Anytime that your skin or body immunity is compromised. Here are some examples: When you are traveling, sick, taking allergy or cold medicine or other Rx’s, for woman if you are prone to breakouts around your cycle then it’s a few days before, just after waxing/threading, when you are not taking care of yourself- traveling/eating crappy, and stressed the heck out!What are your tools you ask? Those are the things that you would use in addition to the daily cleanser, serum & moisturizing products that actually keep the skin clear, or firm, or moist, like masks and exfoliants as well as anti-aging devices for home use, such as the Nuface TrinityLED light therapy anti-aging or acne devices. You can often use these products several days in a row to prevent and give the skin a surge of healing and nutrition.For a more personalized approach, and to confirm that you have the right tools and how to use them, contact yours truly. I am happy to support you via phone or text if an appointment is not an option.
Heater, Heater, Moisture Eater!
Dry skin getting to you? This time of year when temperatures drop and heaters come on, can really take a toll on your skin! When the skin gets really dry, the barrier function becomes compromised and can lead to hypersensitive skin, including rashes, breakouts, and other skin irritations. Here are some things you can do to keep your skin feeling moist and supple during cold months.1. Add more moisture. You may need to kick up the intensity of the moisture cream you have been using by adding in a booster (yes, I have some amazing booster oils!) and or getting one with more kick, including adding in a night cream. Use a moisturizing treatment mask 2 x per week. There are also some treatments you can use overnight on top of your moisturizer.2. Avoid prolonged heater use and sleeping with the heater on. It just sucks the moisture right out of your skin, kinda like an airplane. Bundle up around the house a bit more instead. It can be a great excuse to cuddle!3. Use warm, not hot water in the bath or shower which, again, just dries the heck out of the poor skin. In addition, it’s really bad for the skin on your face to be exposed to any extreme temperatures and can cause broken capillaries.I carry all the tools you need and more to keep your skin happy. If you are not sure what you need, and are not quite in the market for a facial, I offer complimentary skin consultations with a $50 product purchase, and I would be happy to customize a program for you.
Restore your skin with the Oxygen Infusion Facial
Breathe, Re-boot & Restore with Oxygen Infusion Treatment!Have you heard about the Hyperbaric Oxygen Machine being using in skin care treatments these days? It is amazing & creating quite the buzz! It is an “A lister” secret weapon treatment for instant beautification. Rumor has it that a rather large pop icon has of these very same machines at home! Everyone benefits from this amazing treatment.This Oxygen Infusion Treatment is a unique experience providing instant results you can see and feel. Hyperbaric Oxygen Technology delivers therapeutic grade oxygen to the skin. The application of O2 under hyperbaric pressure stimulates regeneration of new cells and the production of elastin and collagen; the skins surface plumps to visibly reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles; all while providing a calming and anti-bacterial effect on the skin. This pressure also assists in the penetration of active serums used in treatment, meaning, everything we use works better to restore your skin. The appearance of fine lines and blemishes are visibly reduced. Skin looks rejuvenated, radiant, and fresh. The process is non-invasive, painless, and safe both during and after treatment. The physical results of an O2 infusion are visible and lasting. While visible results are immediate after one treatment, a course of six treatments is recommended to achieve optimum results, followed up with a maintenance treatment every four to six weeks.**Great for special occasions-brides, re-unions & special events**

The final product retains all the healthy benefits of the pure, botanical ingredients, with no unhealthy by-products or toxins left behind!Why did I start becoming involved in making skin care products?The answer is because this way I care about what goes into product immensely. I care equally about our planets and using “clean” “non-toxic” ingredients. In addition, I have had the experience, time and time again of companies altering their formulas over time to use some cheaper, less effective or even clogging ingredient! This way, you can assure that any product that I would put my name on is going to not only do what is says it will do but be all of these things I expect it to be.Ingredients: Organic Shea Butter, Organic Hempseed Oil, Organic Jojoba Oil, Organic Rose Hip Oil, ure Camellia Oil, Pure Kukui Oil, MeadowFoam Oil, Virgin Pumpkin See Oil, Orange Essential Oil, Natural Vitamins A, C, D, E, & F.ORGANIC SHEA BUTTER (butyrospermum parkii) is truly magic.

Balancing Act, Mom’s Specialty
How do we do get it all done? Balance our personal and professional lives, parenthood and our needs, working out and having fun, friendships and relationships? The answer my friends is that it is an Art and a constant, conscious practice of Balance. Life is kinda like riding a bike. Sometimes we loose our balance and fall off, but it is all about getting back up stronger next time. I hope some of my tips will help you get back up and find your balance again!Here are some things I find helpful:By taking really good care of, and replenishing ourselves is how we can be better parents, wives/girlfriends, husbands, lovers, friends, employees. etc. Be sure to create time to take care of yourself and do something you LOVE or enjoy every day, and as often as possible. For me, one of my favorite things to do is to dance. I have created my schedule around the dance classes I love. While I realize that while not everyone can create their own schedule, we can still find a way to do things that feed our soul, even if that means, having a cup of coffee in bed, or a slow morning walk.Getting ahead of the momentum:What I am realizing is how important it is to set the tone for your day right when you wake up by meditating, or at the v. least planning out how your day will go. I have made a commitment to myself to start my day with a 15 minute meditation. On the days that my daughter wakes me up first, I put on an episode of Sesame Street and get back in bed to meditate and set the tone for my day. If we just get up and go it is very easy to put our energy/focus, or momentum, if you will, in places that we don’t necessarily want to go. I was finding that I was getting right up and checking my texts and emails and I was letting my thoughts get on board with what was happening around me, rather than focusing on what I want to create for myself. I am really enjoying the process now and that is what is it all about!Visualize things going your way:Doing a mental walk through of how your day is going to unfold before you get started. Every time I do this, I find I gain a tremendous amount of peace and ease in my day. You can imagine the outcome of a meeting in your favor or getting parking right in front when you are running errands. A good time to do this is when you are doing your skin care regimen in the morning. You can set the tone for your day by imagining things going in your favor!“Take the time to line up the Energy first, and action becomes inconsequential. If you don’t take the time to line up the Energy, if you don’t find the feeling place of what you’re looking for, not enough action in the world will make any difference.”—Abraham HicksBeing realistic about what you can get done in a day:It is my understanding that most people underestimate what we can get done over a longer period of time, and over estimate what we can get done in a short period of time. Maybe even jotting down the amount of time that a project will take you to help plan out your time well. This will give you a baseline to start with to be realistic about what needs to get done now, and what you can actually get done later. As you adjust for the week, you can add things push things back when needed. I can certainly be a little busy body but I am finding that by slowing down, meditating, doing a mental walk through of my day, I enjoy my time more, I feel better, and I find a sense of ease.Enlist Help:Either paid or voluntary. People love to help! By asking someone to do something for you, you give them a chance to express their love for you. Our nature is to love and support one another. Give someone that opportunity when you can. By outsourcing the projects or tasks that you don’t enjoy doing, you free yourself up to do the things you LOVE!! I know this oh so well as a business owner. By paying for laundry service, or an assistant, I am able to focus on my craft and better serve my clients, family, and my needs which make me happy. In addition, I have created a job and an opportunity to support someone else in creating their livelihood.Finding things and thoughts that make you feel good:Finding a way to make peace with something you “have to do” in order to enjoy the process.When we are not in alignment with the things we need to “get done” they don’t feel good and we don’t enjoy the process, and they often don’t go the way we would like them to go. Although, I may not always enjoy some of the day to day tasks I do, I can find a way to enjoy them more by remembering the big picture. For example, some of the tasks I do as a business owner, like saving m receipts and marking my bank statements for my accountant are not my favorite things to do. I remind myself that this allows me to do what I love to do, service my clients and that I get to create my own schedule and I can do the tasks after hours from my couch if I like. Feeling that sense of freedom and autonomy, makes me feel good about what I am doing, and there is NOTHING more important than I FEEL good. When I don’t feel good, I don’t serve myself or anyone!
Balance Skin Food Cream by Yours Truly
Raw, Gluten Free, Cold Fusion ProcessingBalance, moisturize and soften your skin all day with this pure, divine cream. In addition, with excellent emollient properties, it penetrates below the skins surface to relieve dryness and diminish the look of fine lines. Balance is specifically for designed for normal or more oily skin to help purify and balance sebum (oil) levels in the skin. I know many of your oily folks are moisture phobic, and particularly oil phobic but TRUST me, not all oils are created equal and this cream will only help not hurt your skin. It is imperative for healing acne /balancing oil that we hydrate. Our cells need to be soft and permeable so that nutrients may enter and toxins and debris can move out the skin. If we don’t have enough moisture in the skin this can cause breakouts as well as an over production of oil as our bodies our brilliant little machines and will start to make what we don’t have if it needs to.“Raw food for the skin” with all energies alive and active (because they have not been cooked out!).

How do you Nourish Skin, Soul & Mother Earth
Nourish Your Skin by using healthy, non-toxic products that are balanced and Nourishing for your skin such as my new cream Nourish Skin Food. It is important that we are not compromising our skin or the earth by supporting companies that use risky ingredients with unknown or hidden risk factors for humans and mother nature just because it is cheaper and or easier to produce. Convenience is the enemy when it comes to mask production and profit for both the skin and food industry. Truth be told, we should think of what we put on our skin in the same way we do about what we put in our bodies. The skin IS permeable and ingredients affect our more than our skin so lets make that impact a healthy one. Yes, it is terribly confusing as a consumer which is why it is nice to have someone you know is seasoned, savvy, and doing the leg work for you. I always say, find someone you like and trust to guide you with your skin and skin care who you trust and stick with them. I can assure you are in good hands with me.Nourish Your Soul by Nourishing Your Temple With Food:By eating well and purchasing organic produce and meat, we are promoting healthy farming & food sourcing. I am not a fan of pesticides in my food or body!Blessing your food whether with reiki or words before eating . Thanking the animals, farmers, vegetables, earth, universe.Slow your mind & body down for a short period while you eat and choose to be present. Step away from the computer or TV.Taking time to chew your food! Imagine it nourishing you the way you intend it to. Don’t feel bad if you are having a second cup of coffee or a sweet-it won’t feel good in your body if you don’t feel good about it while you are eating it!!! So, whatever you are indulging in, it is important you feel good about it. Bless it and ENJOY it just like you do your veggies!Baths are such an awesome way to Nourish and Replenish yourself. I highly recommend a commitment to taking Epsom salt baths daily. This will help pull toxins out through the skin, soothe the soul & are incredibly grounding.Meditation and Breathing. Even a few conscious breathes can do wonders to bring yourself into the moment and de-stress.Simple pleasures and comforts such as a cup of tea, creating a soothing ambiance with candles and soothing music.Getting monthly facials and massages are another way to not only feel good but prevent aging and body ailments.How to Nourish Mother EarthAre you still using plastic bottles? Do yourself and the Earth a favor & make a change!!! Do you know how long that water has been sitting in the Evian or Fuji bottle before your purchased it? It was quite possibly exposed to heat causing the bottle to leak toxic plastics into your water. Have you seen how much plastic we have and are wasting right now? One simple commitment by one individual to switch to re-using a safe glass or other not leaching agent can make all the difference in the world.It just takes a few conscious choices to make a HUGE impact in all these departments.Cheers to Nourishing our Skin, Soul & Mother Earth! When one of us does and feels better, we all do.

It’s especially beneficial for aging skin, whatever the skin type. The oil is a great moisturizer, as it is rich and nutritious. Babassu oil also forms a protective, soothing invisible barrier when applied to the skin, keeping away dirt and grime from your pores, but without clogging them. It gently moisturizes the skin without leaving an oily sheen, and has proven healing benefits for eczema, itchy, extra dry and inflamed skin.

How to Look Good When You Feel Bad
You know the old age adage, “If you don’t have something nice to say”? Well, the same goes for your looks-keep it to yourself! Seriously, we all have those sleepless nights, be it babies, booze, or brain on spin cycle, keeping us up when we need to look dynamite for a party, date, photo-shoot, or just a day in the life of you. Here are some pointers to help you turn that frown upside down, or whatever the equivalent is to flipping that bad look!Wake up & de-puff:Start by splashing your face with cold water. Marcia Kilgore, creator of Bliss Spa’s once shared that after a night of excessive drinking and no sleep, she dipped her face in a bowl of ice water. The cold helps to move the fluid away from the surface of the skin so it is helpful with all over water retention and puffiness.Puffy Eyes:This is a genetic weakness of mine so I am always on the hunt for cures in this department!! Tried and true, Simply Divine Botanicals makes a product called “Pack your bags they’re leaving” (yes I sell this)! This is a miracle for your baggage! I put this on right when I get up so I can leave it on for as long as possible and then go for water & coffee! Should be left on at least 5-10 minutes but I find best results with 20 minutes. I keep the product in the refrigerator for extra cooling action and to keep it fresh.Mask It:If you know you are going to bed and need to look good the next day, you can sleep with many of the moisturizing masks on the market, just be certain it is just for hydrating and soothing sans stimulating ingredients. A current favorite of mine is the Soothing Repair Mask by ISUN. If you did not intend to have a sleepless night or wake up looking fraggly, you can wash & apply mask to work while you are sipping coffee/tea, and getting ready for your day.H2O- drink & soak:Many of you know my recommendation of starting your day with warm lemon water, which helps with lymphatic drainage. If you have had too much to drink, you can switch this to lime water, as lime aids in liver detox.Soak in an Epsom salt bath if you can for 10-20 min. This helps draw out impurities and soothe body pain so it is good for everything from moving out the starts of a cold, to alcohol over doses and more.Ladies:This is a time to pull out the makeup even if you don’t wear it on a regular basis. Cover those circles! You can brush the La Bella Donna mineral makeup all over first then use the Mineral Eraser by La Bella Donna.Get some natural, healthy looking color on those cheeks & lips. Curl your eyelashes. Shu Emura has the best eye lash curler that has ever graced this planet!! It is only available on their site.Yes, I sell all of the products mentioned (except the lash curler) as they are star products, and a part of my personal secret weapon arsenal. Hope this helps you get through a rough day in the name of beauty!
