I recently read “Maybe You Should Talk to Someone,” a compelling book that explores the experiences of a therapist who embarks on her own therapeutic journey, offering profound insights into the transformative effects of therapy. It illustrates how therapy can enhance self-understanding and emotional processing. Additionally, the author’s personal experiences deepens her empathy for her patients, providing a nuanced perspective on the complexities of human emotion.

I can’t live without it! I use it daily, and it gives the perfect tint of color. This has completely replaced my use of foundation.

I bought this multi-active treatment facial mist for its primary benefits, which include hydration, antioxidant protection, a radiance boost, and soothing effects.
Obsessing
the importance of gut health
Lately, I’ve been obsessing over gut health and understanding its importance for overall well-being. I’ve been incorporating more probiotics and fermented foods into my diet, making kombucha, kefir, and sauerkraut staples. Consuming probiotics through yogurt, kefir, or supplements can significantly support gut health, which is essential for overall well-being.
HIIT WORKOUTS
Latest wellness trend I’m into is a high intensity interval workout called F45 as well as Bodyrok for reformer Pilates. Great for strength training and toning.

let your skin rest!
I always tell my clients to have at least one or two days where they’re not using active ingredients in their routine to allow their skin to rest and hydrate for the best recovery.

hydrate consistently!
Carry a water bottle with you throughout the day to ensure you’re drinking enough water, which is vital for maintaining energy, skin health, and overall bodily function.
