Clean Kiss Lifestyle

For the majority of us, mornings are hectic and it seems almost impossible to get out the door on time. The thought of adding another thing to do in the morning probably makes you cringe, but before you jump to that conclusion, hear me out.

I first stumbled across the idea of dry brushing in a magazine article years ago. With further research I was intrigued to try it out and see if my body would stop feeling constantly cold. To my surprise not only did it help my circulation, but my skin was left glowing and soft. 

Here we go again. Another new year's resolution list. A list of goals that seems overwhelming is hard to tackle for everyone. You are not alone. There is nothing wrong with you and you are not lazy. Often people don't stick with their goals past January because the list is too long and too hard to achieve. You are setting yourself up for failure if you suddenly decide to go from being completely sedentary to saying you're going to exercise every. single. day.

There could probably be a list of over a thousand ways to be more healthy in 2021.  We all need to feel that we have some control over how this next year is going to go for us. The reality is that 2020 has shown us that we cannot control the outcomes in life. There is no dress rehearsal. There is no plan that goes as planned 100% of the time. The sooner you are able to come to terms with the fact that we must live in the present and not try to control the future, the sooner you will feel more content and happier. 

Recently I attended an incredible health event for women, hosted by Jenn Pike, Hormone Expert, Registered Holistic Nutritionist, Medical Exercise Specialist and so much more. I have been following along with hundreds of other women who learn from Jenn about health and wellness on the daily and quite frankly, I learn pretty cool things from Jenn about my own body. To me Jenn is the expert on the female body. And as I heard her say today on her podcast about Cycles and Fertility, most women do not really understand how their own cycle works. I know that I certainly did not back in the days twenty years ago when I was so desperately trying to conceive and was fighting against Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) which led to infertility, acne, and a general feeling of being unwell and tired. 

  Detox, detox, detox. Everyone is doing it! Sometimes even several times a day. It is January after all and...

If you’ve tried yoga before, I think it’s fair to say you either love it or you hate it.  It takes a very special person to spend an hour in silence, away from one’s thoughts, while bending limbs into precariously unusual positions.

For most of us, the idea of an hour of ‘zen’ just isn’t persuasive enough to take up the yogi lifestyle.  Life is fast and loud; there are kids who need chauffeuring, meals to be making, jobs to be doing.  ‘Zen’ doesn’t seem very realistic, does it?
