Natural Beauty & Self-Care Guide

Looking your best doesn’t have to be expensive or unnatural. Here are 10 easy ways to get beautiful, naturally, right now!

1. Dry skin brush

Use a bristled brush and stroke your skin while still dry a few mornings a week before you shower. This simple morning routine increases circulation of lymph and blood and removes dead skin cells! You’ll get glowing, smooth and touch-worthy skin, guaranteed.

2. Sauna

Sweating is good for us and a dry sauna helps the body excrete toxins. The skin is one of the body’s elimination organs and when we allow it to breath by removing dead cells (dry skin brush) and sweat it can do its job a lot better.

3. Exercise

Get the blood flowing with some kind of exercise of your choice. It will bring colour to your skin and the increased amount of endorphins and confidence looks good on you! Include some exercises like Pilates or yoga for good posture. Hold your head high, be present and smile – you are beautiful!

4. Have sex

After an orgasm your body gets flooded with the feel-good hormone endorphin and growth hormones that make you look and feel young. That’s right – these hormones help wipe out damage from sun and stress. The deep breathing you experience during sex also increases your oxygen intake and decreases stress. So go forth!

5. Green Juice

A green juice is like a loaded liquid multi vitamin! Cucumber is hydrating, especially for your skin, and the greens are alkalizing and aid the body’s detoxification process. Try this as your one-a-day multi and see what happens.

6. Eat fat and make an oil change

We need god fats to maintain a skin that’s well hydrated – that stays plump, dewy and wrinkle free. Eat avocados, salmon, chia seeds, sardines and coconut oil and ditch the processed oils (canola, sunflower, corn, soy etc.) – they are much more likely to oxidize and cause inflammation in the body – and is therefor not a beatifying food at all.

7. Get a shower filter

Our body absorbs what we put on it –  and that goes for the water we bath and shower in too! There is added chlorine in all our tap water today. Chlorine dries out the skin and can even cause rashes and itchiness. Get a shower filter that filters out chlorine and other chemicals from you water. Your skin will thank you!

8. Lather your skin with oils

Avoid the toxic perfumes, parabens and additives and lather your skin up with 100% pure oils like coconut, jojoba, argan oil and Shea butter. Jojoba oil is especially great for oily skin as it help balance out the skins natural occurring oils.

9. Eat the rainbow

Fruit and vegetables with bright colours are also high in antioxidants that help fight free radicals in out body. Free radicals are a main source of aging for our skin and body, so beat it at the cause with natural foods, not with fillers and expensive topical magic potions.

10. Cut the sugar

By now you’ve probably heard that sugar is toxic and can lead to a range of chronic diseases. But it also causes inflammation, which make you age faster, cause wrinkles and even acne. Stick to fruits and sweet vegetables as your main sources of sweetness. (Bonus: you’ll get all those good antioxidants in too!

Go & embrace your beautiful self naturally!

Daily Rituals For A Beautiful Life

Daily Rituals for A Beautiful Life. Incorporate these 8 daily practices into your routine & positively transform your overall life & well-being.

Life gets hectic & we start to lose sight of basic, but crucial self-care practices. How can we possibly expect to give the best of ourselves to the world when we are burnt out, stressed & running on empty? Let the following serve as a guideline to get back to basics, by putting yourself first so you can give the best version of you to the world & start living a more beautiful fulfilling life.

1. Rise an hour Earlier

Waking up earlier alleviates a lot of unnecessary stress & allows time for crucial self-care practices with no disturbances. This will end up being easier than you think. By waking up earlier you will start going to bed earlier thus developing a new time frame for your body clock. Start off small at first but the benefits will enable you to start the day off in a much more positive & stress free way.

2. Exercise

This can be as simple as a daily 30 minute walk every morning or run if you prefer. It is great for your overall health, will help keep stress levels down throughout the day & help you to start the day feeling more energised.

3. Practice Yoga

By establishing a daily yoga practice into your morning, it will lower overall stress levels, help you start the day in a calm state of mind & make you nice & limber for the day ahead. 10 minutes will do just nicely, if you have more time, go for it!

4. Meditate

Start the day with clarity. Just a 10-minute session will make all the difference and enable you to handle whatever the day may bring.

5. Gratitude Journal

Keep the morning vibes positive. Write down at least 3 things you are grateful for, if you can think of more, great! Watch your happiness, health, relationships & overall life improve with this transformational daily practice!

6. Take an Epsom salt bath

Ideally you would schedule time for this ritual everyday but it is not always possible with busy schedules! Try to take the time out for this highly beneficial practice at least a few times a week of an evening, the benefits are worth it! Not only is an Epsom salt bath great for sore, tired muscles but it also helps detoxify the body & dissipates any negative energy stored throughout the day. Try adding some soothing aromatherapy oil such as lavender for an even more blissful experience.

7. Read

Continue to ease into the evening with a good book to soothe the soul before bed.

Reading before bed is a great way to clear the mind from all the unnecessary inner chatter of the day. If you can, try to read something uplifting & motivational to help end the day on a positive note. Otherwise something you enjoy will help you switch off & unwind. A great habit to get into is to switch from watching television in the evenings to reading a book!

8. Listen to guided meditation

To conclude the daily rituals for a beautiful life, end the day by entering into a sweet slumber with a guided meditation.

 If you make the time to incorporate these 8 practices into your daily routine the difference you will notice within yourself & your life will be astounding. What are you waiting for?!

 A beautiful life awaits you!
