Get Your Detox On!

green tea antioxidant extractToxins are all around!It’s unfortunate but even the ‘health nuts’ of the world have toxins invading their bodies.Consider this, there are toxics ingredients in hairspray, nail products, gasoline, and the air in general and these are just a few on the list. It’s impossible to avoid all sources of toxins so we must do something about the buildup of these toxins in our bodies. This is why we should be detoxing every so often.

How often should you detox?

Detoxing is great to do on an ongoing consistent basis so the toxins do not build up in your system. It will help to stimulate your metabolism and allow your organs to work efficiently. You should, at least, do a detox seasonally and more frequently with extra stress, travel and over-indulgences!

What harm can the toxins cause?

The problem with toxic buildup is that we don’t know it’s happening. It’s only when we try to lose weight, or when the build up of toxins becomes critical, that we start to feel and notice the symptoms.Your body has a natural way of dealing with toxins in your liver and kidneys. However, when you’re bombarded all the time with an overabundance of toxins, entering your body, these two organs cannot deal with them properly. Some of the toxins will remain stored in your body. They will be locked up in fat cells.If you try to go on a quick weight-loss diet and you unlock these fat cells too rapidly you will suffer from high levels of toxins entering your system all at once.The lymphatic system is a network of tissues and organs that help rid the body of toxins, waste and other unwanted materials. When our body is overloaded, our natural flushing systems (lyphatic drainage system) also gets backed up making it harder to rid the toxins in our body. This leaves our system feeling sluggish and energy depleted. Our metabolism can be compromised and there is potential to lose mental focus.

What can I do to detoxify?

If you are interested in achieving greater levels of detoxification you can start by eating the right kinds of foods but often that isn’t enough to rid your body of the toxins it has been holding onto over the years. There needs to be a balance also between acidity and alkalinity. You need more alkalinity in the blood and less acidity. You also need to be eating far more fiber. A high fiber diet is going to prevent a whole range of disorders from bowel cancer to heart attacks and heart disease. The right kinds of food will not only be putting less toxins into your system but will help to deal with the buildup of toxins that are already there.You should be looking to detox cleanse your body as often as you can. This basically involves using either diet, supplements, herbal remedies, or individual therapies to cleanse your body of unwanted toxins and chemicals. Detoxing comes in many different forms.I personally recommend the Infra Slim Detox /Fat loss system

Multi-Masking

It’s no secret that beauty regiments have changed over the years. You may be like many, who have stuck with the same skincare routine for your entire life, even though your skin has changed!  Well, now it’s time to mix things up a bit!It seems to be, that the word on the street is to use masks sparingly, randomly or just in the moment you need them.  In fact, that is not how they work best!While this logic does have merit when it comes to abrasive scrubs and harsh treatments, when it comes to masks, more is better.  Masks are actually meant to accelerate your skin care program and like working out, they don’t work unless you use them like 2-3 x per week!We asked a client to ‘mask’ two or three times a week for two weeks straight. Admittedly, she was concerned that her face may become irritated and overloaded, but instead, her skin looked immaculate and felt incredible, smooth as a babies bottom.It may seem an extreme experiment, but the idea of combining mask treatments into “multi masking cocktails” which answered to different dermal needs made sense. Think about it, you may have dry red patches around your nose during colder weather but aged skin around your eyes. Each area requires a different masking combination. You don’t need to wait to mask until your skin is acting up; practice multi masking to keep your skin looking clear, youthful and fresh all the time!  Prevention is best when it comes to health AND beauty!Multi-masking, for those who haven’t heard of it yet, is when multiple masks are used simultaneously on different zones of the face to address concerns for those specific areas.We have paired together the perfect multi masking cocktail for you to use at home with skincare line.Rhassoul NeemRhassoul Neem – A powerful skin-purifier.Neem, Tulsi, and a concentrated organic infusion of antimicrobial, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory herbs are blended into mineral-rich Rhassoul Clay for powerful skin purifying benefits.  Pores are detoxified and extracted, circulation is stimulated increasing nutrients & oxygen to the tissues.Using 2-3 days in row to absorb excess oil and breakouts during mental cycle does wonders as well.Chlorella Algae MaskChlorella Algae Mask – Serious food for the skin!Is your skin feeling excessively dry with travel, seasonal changes or sun exposure?  Try this nourishing, calming, cooling & hydrating mask treatment for dry, tired, sensitive or inflamed skin.Skin is deeply nourished, hydrated and soothed with chlorophyll & nutrient-rich chlorella high in peptides, polysaccharides, vitamins and minerals. In a base of other algae and aloe gel, skin irritations and redness are calmed. Use this several days in a row to help balance skin.TGF Eye Firming MaskTGF Eye Firming Mask (4 pc)Cooling eye-mask dramatically minimizes the appearance of lines, dark circles, and puffiness around the eyes. Features 3 potent peptides, red and green algae extracts, and moisture-binding hyaluronic acid in a sophisticated micro-delivery system for maximum results.


– Got both clogged and oily & dry patches going on?You can use the mask necessary for each part of the face OR you can mix equal parts of each of these in your palms.
Nocturnal Line Up MaskNocturnal Line Up MaskNocturnal line up mask is great for multi tasking!  It works while you sleep!!  Dreamy right? Don’t have time for anything else but sleeping and still want to wake up with that extra glow and feeling hydrated, then this is the mask for you!  Great for travel, big events, and lazy girls!  Put this on after serums and layer your moisturizer right on top!  Voila’!Nocturnal Line-Up Mask offers the 1st overnight mask to reclaim youth, boost collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid.

8 Anti-Aging Secrets for Looking Younger

Aging comes down to a breakdown in your bodies energy systems. Over time, bad habits or health issues can create a domino effect that adds years onto your skin. When they say you can’t reverse aging, it has some truth. You certainly can’t stop the clock from ticking but you can reverse some of those side effects and start looking youthful again.

Here’s 8 great tips to help you with the anti-aging process.

8. Calcium is your friendBones keep us standing straight. Women lose bone density after menopause which can lead to weakened bones, fractures, breaks, hip replacements and osteoporosis. Don’t believe the hype and don’t expect to get your calcium from dairy, it just isn’t possible to truly get what we need.  Take charge as soon as you can with pure calcium supplements to keep your bones strong and healthy.  Moderation is the key with alcohol, avoid smoking all together,  and increase your exercise to help keep your bones strong and healthy.  Good posture is a sign of aging well.7. Avoid direct sunUV rays can damage and age your skin, leaving it dry, patchy, discolored or freckled. These can leave you looking older with loose and wrinkled skin. Sun ages your skin while you need the Vitamin D it provides, direct sunlight for long periods of time, should be avoided to protect your skin from harmful UV rays.  Remember to pack that wide brim hat for vacations and hiking trips!Even in your car, you’re exposed through the window’s and commonly whichever area of skin is exposed to the sun more frequently, you will see greater signs of damage. A good sunscreen lotion is a great idea, even when driving. A good sunscreen is easier than ever today with drinkable, loose powder brush on’s as well as the classic topical lotion formulas.6. Minimize StressStress kills!  It can wreak havoc on your body and your internal organs and systems. Over 85% of disease is caused by stress and this takes a toll on your body. Find ways to reduce or alleviate it.   Meditation, exercise, getting enough sleep, taking epsom salt baths, lighting candles, playing soothing music and use essential oils in the house  are all great ways to help reduce the aging stress toxins.  And don’t forget to breathe!! We typically hold our breath when we stress.  Take 3 connected conscious breaths, it changes everything!5. Be HappyHappiness is a choice. When you’re feeling down, your body reacts.  Your brain sends signals to your body that inhibit the flow of natural hormones in your body like endorphins and serotonin.  Lift your spirits and find powerful, motivating, and uplifting ways to get your groove back. Listen to music, read a great book, exercise, take a walk, have a spa day, get a facial, or go out with friends.  Do what makes you happy and gets your system’s positive energy flow moving again.  A happier you, is a healthier you.4. FoodsWhat you eat has plenty to do with the way you age, how you feel, look and behave. Having a diet rich in healthy foods and water can keep you looking healthy and feeling young.  That said, eating foods as close to their natural start as possible (whole foods!) creates healthy skin.   Adding more fresh greens and colorful veggies like spinach, kale, or peppers, fresh fruit like watermelon or mangoes, and foods like quinoa or sweet potatoes keep you healthy on the inside and out.Eat organic whenever possible to reduce the toxins of pesticide and added hormones from your food intake and keep your digestive system strong.  Don’t overcook – rather, steam your veggies whenever possible to keep nutrients intact.Avoid processed foods as much as you can including crackers, boxed cereals, most bars white flour and sugar which is the absolute worst thing for us!!  Food is meant to provide nourishment and energy, so be sure to eat healthy, real food that is alive to defy the aging process.3. SupplementsOmega 3 DHA helps improve your brain power.  When we don’t get enough through diet, supplementing is always a good idea. Omega 3 DHA is known to help reduce or slow the process of dementia and alzheimer’s.  Getting it in your daily diet and supplements early in your life, can help prevent memory loss that comes with age.If you don’t use it, you loose it!  Keep it working, do puzzles, take a dance class,  learn something new, stay socially active or whatever you can to stay mentally sharp. A sharp mind is a young mind.2. Avoid or minimize foods and habits that dull your hair and skinSoda, along with so many other issues, can deplete calcium and increase breakouts and redness in skin. Drink freshly brewed coffee in moderation (1-2 cups).  Drink more water! It will flush toxins, increase energy and make you look more beautiful.  Hydration truly is the fountain of youth so keep hydrated and notice the difference in your hair and skin.1. Follow a skin care regimenAge defying is a process on the minds of many women. There are so many beauty products out there which are not all created equal.  You should have a pro review your protocol quarterly as your skins needs change seasonally, hormonally, and with whatever else is going on in your life in regards to work and stress.A good anti-aging regimen today includes products with Vitamin C and Peptides that keep your skin firm and reduce wrinkles. Keep your skin clean with the 2 minute wash best kept beauty secret which allowing everything else you put on your skin to to actually work.A good skin care regimen can help you remove build up of drying skin, smooth your fine lines, improve skin tone and color, stimulate collagen production, and improve skin texture.  Use creams that keep your skin hydrated and moist and use products with sunscreen to protect you all day long.  Discover new and wonderful ways to keep your skin healthy, hydrated, and defying the aging process.Anti-aging starts with you and how you treat yourself.  It’s a blend of many lifestyle habits that help you look and feel younger.  It combines environmental factors that we all face daily along with what we’re putting inside our body and how we take care of our body externally.Get started easily with age defying products and treat yourself good.  Check out our online shop for anti-aging creams, cleansers, exfoliants and more.  Give yourself some TLC, you deserve it and your body will thank you for it.

Winterize Your Skin Routine!

Dry, chapped, irritated skin? It’s time for change…Seasons change is the perfect time to winterize your skin & your skincare regimen.Winter weather can cause havoc in our skin, not to mention heaters, travel, and poor diets, which are all factors in the game this time of year. Dry, cold air makes skin work harder to keep a healthy lipid barrier and we all suffer from more transepidermal water loss.When your skin gets really dry several things happen. First and foremost, dry skin can look older and who wants that?!  In addition, your skin (like all your other organs), functions better when it is hydrated topically and internally. When we loose moisture on the surface we also compromise our built in barrier protection which can make our skin more prone to rashes, redness, and other skin irritations. Those of you who are prone to eczema /rosacea/psoriasis/ other skin conditions find they can “flare up” much easier when dry.What to do now?  Prevention is always best!To help keep skin looking its best this winter here are tips/product recommendations on how to correct/heal/prevent and hydrate your skin now! Do one or all of these things now. If your skin is uber dry, AND/OR, if you are working to heal or correct skin issues such as acne/discoloration… you need to do more to get your skin to function better. When you are dry you don’t heal as well!1. Up the anti on your moisturizer! One way to do this is to use a booster like my OMG (Oh Mega Goodness). This oil is LOADED with Omegas which are incredibly and deeply moisturizing!You can use the same moisturizer you are currently using and just add in a few drops of this at night to boost or kick up the value of your current moisturizer.2. Go from a lotion or fluid to a cream… Here are some of my favorite creams that can be used am & pmLavish Dream Cream – with firming and correcting properties for wrinkles /dry skin.These are my own raw/natural/organic, healthy creams which can be used both am & pm by just adjusting the amount you use- less in the day and more at night!Restore Cream – for super duper dry skin and/or only at night.Nourish Cream – a favorite for sensitive /irritated/ dry skinBalance Cream – perfect for the one who gets clogged/oily/and yet dry as well- get back in balance!3. Add in a hydrating mask 2-3 x per week. Here are some of my favorite solutions!1. Chlorella Mask– this is instant beautification2. Moisture Infusion Sheet Masks– loaded with hyaluronic acid, which is all about hydrating!3. Vegan Moisturizing Mask– -this is the chocolate lovers mask! Yes, chocolate is super hydrating and simply divine to use! Very holiday and a great gift. ?4. Soothing relief mask– this is for skin that get both DRY and IRRITATED/RED!Does your body get dry and scaly? Stop or prevent that now!  Wash DON’T “Strip” away your natural oils with harsh soaps /body washes.1. This Body Exfoliant is superior! It doesnt get moldy or fall apart like a typical loofah will.2. The Dew it Again Shower Gel is my absolute favorite body wash I have ever met!! Not only will it wake you up with its delightful invigorating essential oils, it will leave your natural oils in tact. ?3. Natural Body Soap that cleane without stripping  AND bring you Peace and Joy (which also happen tomake amazing gift certificate toppers).4. If you are prone to irritation/redness/rashes and want a solution that is completely natural and safe and SO nourishing… You must get the Anti-oxidant Sunbutter!!!The uses are unlimited.. I use it everywhere on my daughter for skin irritations from her face to her bum, sunburn repair, layer on top of all other products at night to enhance the benefits and push other products in more, and also use alone as a treatment mask to calm irritation/inflamed skin!

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!
