We are all beautiful in our own unique way. That beauty comes from the experiences that have shaped us, the way we take care of ourselves, and how we share our lives with those around us and with our living planet. Of course, we need to do our part to improve ourselves and encourage the women in our lives to live to their fullest potential. Let’s start with the basics (YOU), because in reality “we can’t lift others until we are on higher ground.”
Here are some healthy, natural, sustainable tips to fully embrace ourselves (YOU).
- BELIEVE
If we don’t first see and believe in our own natural beauty, how can we possibly expect those around us to? We are not talking about perfect makeup or outfits, at HeartFelt that has nothing to do with True Beauty, we are talking about loving YOU for YOU. Count your blessings, not your blemishes, accentuate the positives in your life, believe in yourself.
- EMBRACE YOUR FACE AND SMILE MORE
Be gentle with yourself, especially your face! Remember to naturally cleanse, moisturize and protect it every day. Consider adding more vitamin D and C rich fruits and veggies to your diet to help “feed” your face. And of course, don’t forget to naturally exfoliate that complexion at least once a week. Most importantly, remember to smile more. Smile at yourself and those around you. It is scientifically proven that those to consciously smile at other have more positive interactions.
- BRUSH THOSE PEARLY WHITES
Ok, we know we kindof sound like your mother right now but trust us when we say that clean beautiful teeth can make all the difference in the world. Did you know that many foods and beverages in our modern diets contain acids that wear away tooth enamel over time, which can lead to excessive staining? A quick swish of water in between meals and brushing regularly will whisk away any unwanted residue our teeth may have accumulated during the day. Of course, we’d also recommend you consider HeartFelt’s natural toothpaste made from the amazing properties of Charcoal.
- LESS IS MORE
Call us crazy, but we believe that we, as women, are beautiful just the way we are! The Women of HeartFelt all agree, when it comes to makeup, it should complement and highlight our natural beauty, not cover it up. Less is More!
- LOVE YOUR BODY, BUT DON’T OBSESS OVER IT
Find a natural, healthy, and sustainable balance with your body. In general, we should practice three main key points to stay physically healthy. 1 - Exercise regularly (whatever you are capable of), 2 – Eat well, keep a well rounded diet, but be sure it’s something your capable of sustaining. 3 – Get plenty of sleep. More on this later. Practicing these three tips regularly will keep you healthy, happy, and regular.
- SLEEP WELL
Sleep is one of the most important factors to keeping yourself refreshed and naturally beautiful and balanced. Before bedtime avoid watching intense TV shows, or general stressful and stimulating activities. Instead, consider dimming the lights to stimulate the release of melatonin, or spend 10 minutes of deep breathing and meditation. Plan your evenings and mornings so you can go to bed and wake up around the same times to keep your natural body clock ticking perfectly.
- SPEND TIME ON YOU
Find yourself, refine yourself, become the beautiful person you truly are. Make sure to carve out a bit of “me time” every single day. Find a hobby, focus on your interests, think about how you’re doing, and center yourself. 10 minutes devoted specifically to YOU will help in keep you in line with your long term plans.
