Sunscreen: Do you use it?
There is no secret that I absolutely love all things skin care! I’m talking body buttas, exfoliants, body washes, serums, scrubs, etc. Just know if it’s for the skin, I am for IT. Always. This summer has been all about experimenting with different products for my face/full body + seeing how my skin responded to each product. That’s how we learn, through the good, bad and ugly of trying things out😅. The biggest game changer from my 2 months of trial + error was sunscreen. I’ll admit sunscreen has not always been part of my daily skin care process. Truthfully, like many people, I never even considered sunscreen unless I…

The Art of Nurturing Self
You my friend are so deserving of love. It’s funny that sometimes we need reminding or permission to know that we are worthy + deserving of love. Not just any ole kind of love too, a love that is so deep and pure that only YOU know how to do for yourself. Just like in any other relationship, self-love is a daily commitment and choice that is continuous over time. A never ending cycle of embracing ALL the parts of you. Messy, ugly and beautiful, but most importantly it is yours. Self love is your birth right and YOUR choice to make each and every day. Im gonna be honest…

Honor + Showup for Yourself this Week
Last week we witnessed history being made yet again. I dont know about you, but whew😅 living through all this history the last few months has been exhausting to say the least. No matter where you stand on the divide the history we experienced last week is something we will tell our children + their childrens’ children for years to come of this period of life that we have been able to experience first hand. And while there is much to celebrate, there is still so much work to be done not only in our country but within ourselves. As we embark on what feels like a new era (truth…

10 Affirmations to Say Every Day for a happier well-being
Affirmations are much more than chants or short statements you repeat to yourself.

Inhale, Exhale: Meditation for Beginners
Meditation for a long time has gotten a bad wrap. Truth be told there was a time not too long ago that if you asked me if I meditated I would boldly say nope thats not the life that I live. Like most of you reading I had preconceived notions in my head about what meditation was and how I didn’t need that sort of thing in my life (LOL). Spoiler alert, I was wrong on so many levels. Myths that I had built in my mind: Meditation is sitting in a room in silence, there is 0 chance I can ever quiet my thoughts, meditation has no real purpose…

Yoga + Self Care
(This page contains Affiliate Link. For more information see my disclosures, here) The reasons why I came to yoga are so simple now that I think back to my very 1st day on the mat. I knew deep down there was something missing, didnt have a clue of what exactly but one thing was for sure each and every time I came off that mat I felt closer to whatever “it” was. Social media would have you believe that yoga is about being apart of Cirque Du Soleil or that you have to be this freaky thin contortionist. None of that is true. In its simplest form yoga means to…
