#nourishment

ur skin, energy, and mood are all reflections of ur health. dullness shows on ur skin when you don't get adequate sleep, ur skin becomes dry when you're not properly hydrated, u get moody when u don't sleep enough or when ur cortisol levels and levels of stress are all over the place.

yes the products that you use are important but they're not more important then what you put into ur body. just to start off with the basics, according to cleveland clinic, if ur a girl u should be sleeping 7-9 hours a night, sometimes more if ur dealing with ur menstrual phase or pregnancy or anything like that. as for hydration u should drink 2-3 liters of water a day. and to keep ur cortisol levels under control try the following ;

❤︎ get enough quality sleep every night

❤︎ limit caffeine and alcohol intake

❤︎ try activities like yoga

❤︎ keep your to-do list cute and manageable

❤︎ and ofc GET SOME FRESH AIR

NOURISH TO FLOURISH ;

the most impactful nutrients for a RADIANT body and mind are gut friendly fibers like oats and raspberries and avocados. get some antioxidants too like berries and leafy greens. also keep yourself hydrated! u can put a little pinch of salt in ur water in the morning for electrolytes instead of using the packs of electrolytes that have tons of sugar in them. drink teas and keep ur water bottle full and on you.

wellness isn't about extremity but its about the little habits everyday like taking ur vitamins in the morning, sipping on ur water throughout the day, having one fruit a day and a serving of veggies with ur dinner. START SMALL = sustainable change.

TONICS IM LOVINGGG ;

rose and hibiscus tea - let it steep for about 2-4 minutes and add a little spoonful of honey. helps with blood circulation. good to drink during luteal phase. 

green tea and fennel tea - green tea is such an AMAZING source of antioxidants and the way it makes ur skin GLOW is insane. fennel tea is super good for bloating. super good during follicular phase.

lavender and chamomile tea - good for lymphatic support and help with ur quality of sleep and relaxation etc. super good for ur menstrual phase and luteal phase.

small shifts give big results so instead of listening to trends, listen to ur personal tastes. especially cuz everyones bodies are different, learn yours and what works for you.

THE CUTIE'S GUIDE TO INNER GLOW RITUALS ;

💕 telling myself sweet things - i've just been showing myself so much love lately, more than i typically do. im always complimenting myself, hugging myself, telling myself im the best, that im beautiful etc.

💕 fermented foods - these are super good for ur gut microbiome, my favorite is kimchi. im blessed enough to have learnt how to make homemade authentic kimchi so i love doing that for myself.

💕 i've been taking biotin supplements and logging if im noticing any enhancements to my skin, hair, and nails. i'll keep u guys updated...

💕 staying moisturized and unbothered - keeping my skin moisturized with quality oils and butters and just laying out in the sun is one of my favorite things to do. keeping my phone on DND, not falling for ragebait ALL OF THAT is so important. cuz why would i let something stupid stress me out?

💕 starting the day with a workout - starting the day with movement is something that i've been doing for a long time and will probably do forever. it just sets me off on the right foot and i love it SO much.
