When you think of self care, what's the first thing that comes to mind? A bubble bath, doing a face mask, reading a good book maybe? For some, (aka me) treating yourself to something shiny and new is definitely a form of self care! We are often told how important it is to feed our Mind, Body and Soul good things but most don't take the "feed" part literally. It is very important that we take care of our mental health and our outward body but its also equally important we are careful about what we put in it. 

I am a skin care fanatic, absolutely obsessed with having smooth, perfect and glowing skin from head to toe! I'm true to my routine and am always trying new things. I am also huge on meditation, with my life being so busy and go go go, I have to take the time to destress. Despite that, I still always found myself dealing with problem skin. I spent all this money on new products, that didn't change anything. Started going to yoga regularly, I thought maybe I wasn't relaxing enough? Still no change!! 

All the while, I was eating things like hot wings, Chinese takeout and every dessert you can imagine on a regular basis. What I was doing outwardly wasn't the issue, it was what I was putting inside that was the problem and my body was trying to tell me that. Once I figured that out, I realized I needed to make some huge changes. In my findings, I saw that not only was food causing my bad skin, but certain foods can cause stress on the body as well. Things such as caffeine and foods high in sodium can put a strain on your heart when consumed regularly. 

I've been a Vegan for quite a few years now and my body couldn't be more grateful. I've finally gotten that glowing skin and I feel fresh all the time, inside and out. Now I know veganism isn't everyone's choice and that's totally fine, just make sure you are doing what you know is best for you and your body's well being. We only get one body to FLAUNT so it's crucial that we treat it well. 

Hey everyone! We've curated a playlist of songs to keep you in the mood to FLAUNT!! Music is so powerful and can really set the tone for your whole day or even just a special moment in time. Listening to music is its own form of therapy (#SelfCare) because music isn't just entertaining, it can also make you healthier. Music therapy is often used to promote emotional health, lower stress levels, and just to simply boost someone's mood. In a 2013 study that The Journal of Positive Psychology conducted, they saw that those who listened to upbeat music improved their mood in just 2 weeks! These songs are sexy and most of all empowering. Stop what you're doing right now and have your own little musical therapy session! Listen to this playlist to lift your spirits or jump start your day!!
