The Real You

The real you is sexy, the real you is beautiful and the real you is worthy of being seen and loved! Do you know that? Do you believe that? I know it can be hard to accept in today's society when you never know if the media you are looking at is real or photo shopped. In a society that sets unattainable standards for us to reach but none the less it is true, you are beautiful. Your beauty goes far beyond what people see, It Starts On The Inside!

When I started this blog it was to encourage people to see their true beauty, to realize that we are far more than our outward appearance and that by taking care of our mind, body and soul we will see real change and growth. With that in mind you can understand why I was so excited when I saw Aerie's new campaign. Aerie a lingerie company, where I love to shop, recently released a new ad campaign featuring all completely real, totally unairbrushed models in an effort to challenge unrealistic supermodel standards for young women. You've got to hand it to the brand for bucking the trend and honoring real beauty instead of taking a giant eraser to any itty bitty imperfection. They are proving what we have known all along, imperfections are part of life and what help make us the beautiful women we are.  

Juicing for health and meeting Joe Cross

It's pretty hard to meet someone these days that hasn't heard of  juicing. It seems to be the "in" thing right now and for good reason. Juicing, if done right, is a great way to pump your body full of vitamins and help build your immune system. Let's face it if your body is starving for vitamins it can't effectively fight off illness.

I bought a juicer about 4-5 years ago but like many it sat on a shelf and was only used a few times. Then as I began digging deeper into clean eating and trying to support my health naturally, I ran across a documentary called Fat Sick & Nearly Dead. It changed the way my husband and I felt about juicing! We continued to use the small juicer I had first bought but soon found we wanted something that was easier to use, easier to clean and would produce more juice. We went with the Breville 800JEXL Juice Fountain Elite. We now juice almost everyday and have definitely seen the rewards. My face is clear, we both have more energy and even lost some weight!

I am so glad I ran across that video! I have seen my health, the health of my family and even a few friends and coworkers transformed. That's why I was so excited when I received an e-mail from Joe stating that Texas was the next stop on his US book tour! He is hitting three cities – Dallas, Houston & Austin. I am planning to go to the Dallas event with my husband and a few friends.

Be Health Driven Not Media Driven

Fitness Friday: A quick total body workout

I enjoy supplementing my work-out schedule with these quick videos on days that things pop up. I have made working out a priority which means having a back-up plan.

This workout works your entire body in under 30 minutes. Be sure to pay attention to how many reps you need to do of each exercise! It is 5 times through, not just once.

Psst! Here's how to treat yourself when shopping online...

I used to love stalking the department store cosmetic counters in search of the best freebies. You know the ones I'm talking about -- come in a cute zipper pouch or fun tote and are just the most fun to try out when your shopping trip is over? These days, I love shopping for my beauty must-haves on line but I've missed those freebies. Until now. Because I have discovered the beauty of the GWP or Gift With Purchase!

Time to stock up on my favorite base and blush? Well, hello, FREE gloMinerals Mini Eyeshadow Quad. I'm only just slightly over halfway through my perfect blow-out prep product but when there's a GWP from Phytologie | PHYTO, I click Add To Cart like a champion! And there's got to be something -- maybe even lots of somethings -- that I need from Dermalogica Skincare when there's a free gift that gets better the more you purchase.

I found all this GWP goodness at beautystoredepot.com where you can see all the Free Gifts in one place. Just a few clicks and you're on your way to a delivery of beauty goodies that'll put a smile on your pampered face. Even the shipping is free.
