Did you know: Acupuncture

Lately I've been working a lot and feeling tired and burnt out. I decided to make a trip to a place called "The Well" to see Dr Frer. We did acupuncture, which is a process that utilizes fine, sterile needles placed into specific points on the body.

Acupuncture is a science based treatment performed by a skilled clinician to provide a rapid and ongoing healing response. When you are fatigue, it is possible that your body is inflamed and  acidic. Which means you store more fat.

Acupuncture is all about healing!

Sunday: did you know...Vitamin C

Did you know that topical vitamin C was actually good for your skin? Yes, matter of fact, it is . This topical miracle can help with wrinkles, sun damage and the overall brightness of the skin. 

As we age, unfortunately we begin to lose collagen...well when using vitamin C topically, we can actually encourage collagen production. Some people say it can actually help turn back the clock when it comes to aging. I say add vitamin C to daily daily regimen and reap the benefits when it comes to your skin's overall health.

Some of my personal favorites: Dermaquest, Environ C quence and Obagi C skincare line. 

You say, turn the clock back...i say, "i'm in".

1st edition of....Did you know?...

Did you know that as we age we lose the collagen in our lips? That beautiful defined lip that you know and love, begins to lessen. Your lips eventually look smaller because they are less defined as they were in your youthful 20's. 

Don't worry, you can get the definition back in your lips without making your lips bigger by adding filler to your lip border only. This border is called, the vermillion border. What filler you ask? Resylane silk or Juverdem XC are just a few. These two fillers are currently FDA approved for the lips and can help you maintain that youthful look. If you choose this option, please make sure you go to a licensed medical professional, who has been trained to do these injections.

Happy Sunday!

Did you know...

I've decided to do a new weekly post on Sunday's....called, "did you know?" During this segment I will tackle questions that all of really want to know, but aren't sure how to get the answer...

So tune in later... For the 1st, "did you know?"...

You are beautiful

Hey ladies- we all have days where we are feeling ourselves and some days when we are not. I'm here to tell you all..."You are beautiful". 

Beauty is not only about the asethetics, beauty is also about how you feel and what you portray. I know we have all heard this before... However it's true. 

We are all beautiful! Let your true self shine! 

Portion control anyone

On Labor Day I stumbled across a new place called Snap Kitchen. Low and below... It was like heaven for me. All kinds of meals/diets were represented. From paelo to vegan... I couldn't contain my excitement. Then the kicker... They are freshly prepared by a chef with local ingredients and portioned out for your diet needs.

This place is so cool, I've been back twice this week.

See what I purchased today.... This is a must when you have goals...

End of Summer

Labor Day here in America means it's a bitter sweet end to what we call summer...

Street festivals, movies in the park, bar-b-que's with friends, brunching outside, bike riding, night walks etc... You get the hint.

But the nice thing about being in Chicago  is that soon it will be time for cute fall clothes. Here's to saying see you later summer... Please don't wait so long to come back...
