My Top 5 Beauty Secrets To Looking Younger
Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay 
Look how smooth my face looks!
In amazement, I have been told a number of times over the years from friends and family that I look younger then my age and they wondered what was I doing? I was straightforward with them and told them the exact things that I was doing! These are the 5 steps that have kept me young all these years! (I will not disclose my age..lol) *These are my opinions only*
Top 5 Beauty Secrets
- I use Aztec Secret healing Clay 3-4 times a week. Firstly, It has reduced my pores significantly and keeps my skin looking smooth even without foundation, which I seldom wear. It’s a deep pore cleanser with natural calcium bentonite clay. It clears away all the leftover dead skin and impurities. Secondly, it’s not just for facials but also used for body wraps, clay baths, foot soaks, hair masks, chilled clay knee packs, insect bites & more! It’s best used with a little bit of apple cider vinegar. You can mix a little water in it as well.
- I get a good amount of sleep….If my mind and body are telling me to take a break…I listen and will even take a cat nap to recharge my energy levels. Get your rest, sleep in a couple of days a week. Sleep!
- I drink water all day long, no sodas for me. No Alchohol either…*sorry guys! lol
- I put a fair amount of veggies into my body, especially carrots because it contains beta carotenes which reduces skin inflammation and slows the aging process. Carrots also make your teeth look white! I am vegan so no dairy or meat for me! Check out all the benefits of eating carrots: https://www.stylecraze.com/articles/benefits-of-carrots-for-skin-hair-and-health/
- Last but least, I pray and meditate daily for 20-30 minutes. I use breathing techniques which has helped me ease my anxiousness, stress and improve my mental & physical health. It helps me to stay focused on my vision and goals. One huge secret for me has been via praying. I don’t just pray…but I actually cry out to God and thank him constantly throughout the day. I believe with all my heart that he loves that, and in return that brings me joy. Try doing these 5 steps for at least 2 weeks and come back and tell me how you feel physically and mentally. I would love to hear how it helped you? Can you guess my age?
How Are You Coping With Covid-19?
How are you coping with Covid-19? What seemed liked an easy process in the beginning, Covid-19 slowly started to become cumbersome. I have to honestly say that in the beginning when the virus just started getting notoriety, I was actually happy that we had to stay indoors. Juggles and multitasking became my first and middle name. Fast forward 2 months later…OMG! Is it over yet? With the kids being home schooled and their constant bickering…I was getting tired, and not to mention my time was limited to do what I needed to do.
Survival Mode
Now, I am doing better and having more patience and taking the necessary steps to make sure my family and I are safe and healthy. One thing to do is make sure you stock up on plenty of groceries and household items such as candles, hand sanitizer, shampoo and conditioner, tissue and the like. Healthy options for food if possible. You never know if the government decides to keep us home and temporarily close grocery stores One important factor to be considered during all of this is to be mindful and have a supply of masks, gloves and vitamins. If your like me, my masks always seem to disappear into thin air. lol. Girls, Have u seen my masks? No, mom! hmmm..I’m not so sure. Gloves are also useful, so we do not touch all those icky surfaces! Did I mention vitamins? I give my family Vitamin C, D and E to build their immune systems up!
Family Bonding Time
One thing I did learn from all this was to never take one another for granted. Even though I had my hands full and continue to stay busy, I would not trade it in for the world. I was able to connect with my family spirits on a new level. We were there for every wants and needs. That’s something you cant take away, the special bond of a family. We were also in one anothers hair and that wasn’t pretty either! lol When it was time to relieve some stress, we played the Wii and Just Dance 2 together. We did many things together such as baking, exercising, and board games. An everyday ritual of ours was walking Sophia our pit bull in the neighborhood or riding our bikes to the grocery store. How are you coping with Covid-19? So far so good, whats next?
