All in Self-Love
In a world with constant uncertainty, it is a struggle to be present. In this pandemic, for instance, we are understandably focused on looking towards to the future and a world without Covid-19. But really, we are doing it wrong. By looking onto the next day, we’re forgetting to revel in the beauty of TODAY, and it for sure is pretty beautiful.
If I’m ever feeling or looking dull and tired, my go-to solution is to put a face mask on.
While there are many options that you can purchase from the supermarket, from hydrating, sheet, clay... the list is endless. That said, I usually go for the all-natural, all-easy-peasy DIY.
When making DIY masks, I try to just use ingredients I have in the house, such as oats, honey, and essential oils. Using natural ingredients helps me know exactly what’s going on my face and in my skin, a lot of the store-bought ones contain chemicals that sometimes do more harm than good. This way, it’s a little project of finding what I have in the cupboard. What’s more, essential oils give any mask that boost it needs.

Reading is one of the most important things in life. For my own work, I love to recommend to my clients my favorite books for growth. Reading helps us understand things differently and allows us to find some perspective outside of our own ways of thinking.
Fran Lebowitz famously said, “Think before you speak. Read before you think.”. I have always felt this. Sometimes there is more to the story, and reading helps us find that out.
Ahhh, the age-old meditation. Spanning way back to 1500 BCE, mindfulness and meditation have been around forever. Nowadays, it is more and more necessary to practice our breathing and calm everything down a little.
Today I’m going to be giving you a little beginner’s guide to it - with my favorite videos to get you started.
