    Top 10 Stress Busters For Peace Of Mind

    These are the top 10 stress busters I do whenever I start to feel stressed out.

    1. I cant figure everything out, sometimes I get lost searching on the web for answers! This tends to stress me out…So, I put my laptop down and get myself moving whether it be making a snack and getting hot green tea, OR even taking a walk outside to get the mail. I may feed the dog, play with the dog, or put my feet in the pool water. Get your blood flow moving and it will get your mind off whatever it was that stressed you out. You need to move your body baby!
    2. Get outdoors and look at nature. Invigorate your senses with the trees, birds chirping or squirrels playing. Look up at the sky! It will captivate and help to relieve any negative vibes. Breathe in a few breaths and look at all the abundance around you. You are blessed, and it could be worse. Take a moment to reflect and be thankful.
    3. Put your favorite music playlists on and start dancing! Your favorite tunes will get you in the mood to dance and sing! Get happy.
    4. Do some breathing exercises in through the nose and out the mouth. Breathe in positivity and release negativity. I hold each breathe for about 5 seconds. You can do longer if you like. These breathing techniques will send more oxygen to your brain and boost your endorphins.
    5. Write a list of 5 things you are grateful for and meditate for a minute or two on each one and feel good about it. Hold your hand to your heart while doing this.
    6. Take your supplements!
    7. Vision the rest of the day how you want it to end. You can vision a wonderful evening with your husband or family and or vision a success and a beautiful tomorrow.
    8. Exercise! Do a you tube workout video to make yourself feel good.
    9. Put a mask and do a facial! Your skin is beautiful and it matters!
    10. Put candles and lighting to create a soothing ambiance. This does the trick for me all the time. If you have any other stress busters for peace of mind let me know! These are my Top 10 and I hope you found value in them.

    My Top 5 Beauty Secrets To Looking Younger

    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

    1. 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.
    2. 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!
    3. I drink water all day long, no sodas for me. No Alchohol either…*sorry guys! lol
    4. 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/
    5. 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?
