For the Love of Water- The Cucumber Lemon Water Challenge

Lemons, cucumbers, and mint would be my favorite additives for boring water. It tastes pretty awesome, and it's considered to be a natural way to detox the body, every morning before you get into your daily routine/habits - dairy, caffeine, meat, stress.

Consuming this morning detox promotes beauty on the outside by protecting and healing our skin. But in addition to glowing skin, this detox works on tackling those internal issues as well- getting rid of the unnecessary junk in our system.

Moroccan Red Clay - hair and beauty treatments

Red clay is one of my recent discoveries. I came across the name numerous times while surfing the Internet, and only read great reviews. I decided to make a purchase a few months back, and finally put this clay to use. Most of you know that I have tried several clays, and have been satisfied with each one. I try to keep them on hand and tend to use them more for my hair than for my face or body. My favorite clays are Indian clay and Kaolin clay. Simply add water, aloe vera juice, and/or apple cider vinegar, and you've created an instant paste. The amount of liquid used will of course be based on what you're creating; facial, hair conditioner, foot application, etc. Red clay can also be used on the body, head to toe.

I know we hear this often, but self care really promotes mental and physical health. If you're having a rough day, challenging week, or simply feeling overwhelmed or unenthusiastic about circumstances, I strongly urge you to make time for yourself. I find that I am able to think clearer, and my stress levels are reduced significantly after I practice self care. Sharing a few self care pics below; at home facial, read book alone in the car, or outside in the sun, make a fun (favorite drink) to enjoy alone, or try an at home mani/pedicure. I also find drawing and painting extremely relaxing. Perhaps you can take a walk or get your heart pumping by exercising. Try slower movements with yoga or pilates....
