We have choices and we must be accountable for our decisions because they will ultimately impact our lives, inside and out. I choose self-love.
Today, at the end of this mini-series on Loving the Skin You're In, I'm sharing the final and all-important steps in assuring proper skin care: moisturizing and--you guessed it--wearing sunscreen.

Hello and thank you for returning to part two in my mini-series about providing skin care practices that are simple yet crucial to include into your daily regime. In Part 1, I introduced why it's so important to love the skin you're in, especially in these summer months when the sun is shining bright and we're all about enjoying it.

Tis the Season... For Loving the Skin You're In: Part 1
While I truly feel that it is a person's heart and spirit that make them who they are, we need to protect what keeps it all together...our skin!

Wellness Wednesday: Recharge with Electrolyte Lemonade
Electrolyte Lemonade is quite popular among New York’s raw foodies—and for good reason. It’s a breeze to whip up and provides essential nutrients (electrolytes like sodium and magnesium) that are easily lost in the summer heat. Maintaining electrolyte levels allows all the cells in our bodies to function properly, but we lose electrolytes through sweat. Instead of reaching for a sugary sports drink, try this natural alternative.
