Raw Fruits & Veggies

As I grow up and start to realize that my body is my most important tool, I have been looking for ways to better take care of myself. Both internally and externally.

I feel that beauty comes from the inside---literally. I believe that your beauty reflects what you feed yourself. If you're eating unhealthy, processed, fatty foods, you're going to look and feel groggy, tired, and malnourished. If you want to feel alive and radiant, eat live and radiant fruits and veggies!

One of the things I have been doing recently to incorporate more raw fruits and veggies into my diet is to make a smoothie in the morning. By making a smoothie in the morning, I am guaranteeing that my body digests all the nutrients from the fruit and gets sustainable energy from it.

My favorite recipe is as follows:

Morning Sunrise Smoothie

5-7 fresh strawberries (greens still on top)
5-7 frozen strawberries (depending on size)
1 banana
2 tbsp Hemp seeds
1tbsp Chia seeds
1/4cup coconut water
1/4cup orange juice

Blend & Enjoy! :)

If you don't like smoothies, try drinking a juice in the morning, or eating a salad with only fresh fruits and veggies for lunch. There are so many ways to incorporate more fresh produce into your diet, and if you want to feel alive and beautiful, start from the inside out!

My New Diffuser! | NOW Ultrasonic Bamboo Diffuser Review

Recently, my $15 essential oil diffuser broke, so I figured it was time I make an investment (kind of). I started searching online and was looking for something sophisticated, yet not too abstract. My last diffuser started to look a little dingy, so I wanted something that was higher quality. Many of the diffusers I found online had some type of bottle neck, or vase shape ---- both of which I did not want. I liked the cylinder style, so I found a few that I liked and read some reviews to help me make my decision. The one I ended up getting was the Now Foods Ultrasonic Bamboo Diffuser ! *This is a cold diffuser that maintains the essential oil properties through a cool mist, as opposed to a heat diffuser which will break down the goodness in the oils* The body has a bamboo finish, and has a small band on the top that displays a rainbow of colors if you put it on the light setting! I like this diffuser because it is pretty customizable. You can change your settings depen...

Favorite Summer Products | Cruelty Free

This summer, I have been loving all the fruity products that I can get my hands on! From all natural face masks, to cruelty free hair products, I have been so in love with all the new items I have been trying! I have heard so much about Korean skincare, and how revolutionary that it can be for your skin, so I did some research and found Frudia ! Frudia is a Korean skincare company whose products are filled with natural fruit juices and extracts, giving you the essential nutrients you need without all the chemicals! I picked up the Green Grape Pore Control Mask , at my local Ulta, and it is super hydrating while also tightening pores! I also met with the founder of MopTop Hair while at the Natural Food and Product Expo West this past year. She was so sweet and sent me home with a few samples and I was automatically obsessed with not only the delicious smell of the products, but the way it made my hair feel! The Mongongo Oil smells amazing and hydr...

Essential Oil Blend for Allergies!

I don't know about you guys but I am dying here with the allergies!! I think it is probably from this intense weather change---- it's been over 100 degrees for the past 2 days! With that being said, I have been waking up the past few mornings with a runny/stuffy nose and a sore throat. Oh and to top it off, I can't stop sneezing! I don't remember the last time I took over-the-counter medicine, so I try and go with natural remedies to help myself feel better. One thing that I always turn to are my essential oils! You can use them topically, internally, or in a diffuser like I am going to show you today :) If you are suffering from seasonal allergies, fill up your diffuser with warm water and add: - 5 drops Peppermint oil - 5 drops Rosemary oil -5 drops Tea Tree oil *You can also use Eucalyptus or Lemon oil if you don't have Peppermint or Rosemary* This blend really helps me to clear my head as I lay in bed and sip my Peppermint green tea! ...
