5 Ways To Stay Beautiful From The Inside Out

Rest & Relaxation

One of my favorite ways to relax is by creating little pampering sessions during my week. Even if it’s just a short nap, a relaxing bath, or some quiet time with a good drink and a sheet mask. Our bodies and brains need to rest.

I like to put together little spa baskets for myself so that I can have all of my favorite pampering products in one place. It makes me feel special and it’s a nice way to display some of the items I use the most, during the week. 

For my latest basket, iHerb invited me to shop their beauty section to try out a bunch of their beauty brands. So, I filled my shopping cart with goodies and they arrived super fast! Next,  I filled my basket

Shopping at iHerb.com was really simple and I was impressed with the number of great brands they have available. The prices were excellent too!

I made sure to pick up a variety of things that could give me an overall good day of pampering and care. Things like premium skincare items as well as some new supplements. 

Take Supplements

Taking supplements is a great way to help maintain good nutritional balance.  Ideally, we all should be eating a well balanced diet everyday. But let’s face it. We lead some pretty busy & sometimes hectic lives. Which means most of us fall short of the recommended daily goals for healthy eating. (2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines, Health.gov)

That’s why I picked up some B-Complex Gummies by Gummilogy.  Ever since I started taking them regularly, I feel great!  I knew I was deficient in my diet and was feeling really low on energy. These have really turned my life around.  Now, I feel so energized for longer periods, during the day, when I need it the most. 

I even convinced my hubby to take them with me. Which was a minor miracle lol. 

I highly recommend these gummies. Quick Tip – it’s best to take them first thing in the morning. 

Stay Active

Get your body moving everyday. The key is to get your heart rate up and work your entire body from head to toe. Some of easiest ways to stay active include taking walks, dancing, yoga, climbing up and down stairs, jumping jacks and household chores. 

Stay Hydrated

Remember the old 8 x 8 rule, to drink 8, 8 oz. glasses of water per day? Well, experts from Mayo Clinic and the U.S. National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine now suggest that women take in 11.5 cups and men around 15.5 cups of fluid per day.  

These recommendations include water, food and other beverages (ie. tea, juice, infused drinks etc.), to make up our daily fluid intake.

So, however you can get your fluids in, do that!  

I go around with my 64 oz. water bottle filled with flavored water, everyday.

But, peep this! I discovered this Sôlumeve Radiant Beauty powdered drink mix is another tasty way to hydrate, all while taking great care of your hair, skin and nails. 

This drink mix has superfruits, grass-fed collagen and probiotics.  Tip: Since collagen doesn’t dissolve easily in cold water, it’s better to dissolve it first in a little bit of hot water, then add cold water and ice to make it a cold drink. It’s so refreshing and tastes great. I was pleasantly surprised! 

Daily Skincare Routine

If you don’t already have a good daily skin care regimen, you should start one now. Keeping it simple is the way to go. 

Start with a quality cleanser suitable for your skin type and beauty concerns. If you wear makeup often, you want a cleanser that is effective at removing makeup and deep cleaning your pores.

Then follow up with a good daily moisturizer.  At night, you can follow the same simple routine and maybe add in a night serum for added overnight moisture.
