June 1: A fresh month! 🌞

You may know how much I love the start of a new month 🤓 the opportunity to begin again, like a mini Jan 1, a perfect time to reset. I got this email today from Light Watkins and love this! See the comments for my 30 day challenge for myself😬

"Is there something you’ve been thinking about changing or creating? If so, let go of this “someday” mentality and give yourself a 30-day notice. Decide where you need to be with it by the end of this month, reverse engineer the baby steps back to today, and let’s get to work."

Light sends a daily email (he started it as a challenge to himself!), you can get them here:

Check out my latest blog post (this is a vulnerable one 😅):
Mindless to Mindful Eating, a Process
https://wix.to/JtDAANv

This is a pretty vulnerable post, just feeling very inspired to share in case it helps someone else, so here goes...Mindless eating is something I've always struggled with. But I didn't realize how ingrained it is in my life and routines until today.The past: I used to binge eat. A lot. I would hide...

Anyone ever considered doing "75 hard?" Have you tried it and given up before it's over (or let the fear of failing keep you from even starting)? It's about challenging yourself - but also...Life! Goals have to be attainable, too!

Beautycounter launched it's Clean Fragrance line today, and it's already getting some great press! 🎉
More info here: https://view.flodesk.com/emails/65fd463163cf54016c6f88a0

"Check out the ingredient list on your favorite perfume and there’s a good chance it simply says “fragrance” or “parfum” and “alcohol.” Practically anything could be in “fragrance” or “parfum,” making the ingredients a mystery, which is totally permitted by the beauty industry. That also applies to fragrance that’s used in skincare, hair care and other personal care products. But Beautycounter is trying to change that and launching a clean fragrance collection with complete ingredient transparency to encourage other brands to do the same."

The five clean fragrances are paving the way for ingredient transparency in perfumery.

⭐Have you heard of the Fragrance Loophole? Watch this 3 minute video for more, and join my Safer Skincare & Beauty Products group for more (plus lots of prizes this month!) 🎉🥳

Did you know? The fragrance industry is notorious for packing formulas with hidden questionable ingredients, citing “trade secrets” as an out. This is…

Why does Safer Skincare matter?
Check out my new post on what first brought this to my attention.
https://wix.to/0kORvZK

In 2019, we were in Key West and I heard on the news that they banned chemical sunscreen (containing oxybenzone & oxycycolate) because it was killing the coral reef. 😳 Huh??If it's killing the coral reef and is bad for the environment, what's it doing to our bodies?!? This really got my attention...

Huge Press for Beautycounter today!🙌

If you think we're just selling lipstick, you're not paying attention...

"As 2023 comes to a close, many start to consider their accomplishments for the year and how many resolutions they crossed off their list. In Beautycounter’s case, they have a lot to be proud of. As part of their mission to advocate for safety and transparency in the beauty industry, the brand helped pass four laws this year."

Beautycounter has been instrumental in passing 15 pieces of legislation over the last 10 years. They’ve spearheaded a community effort to send 236,000 emails, make over 16,000 calls and hold over 2,200 meetings with members of Congress for change.

⭐Join the Movement: Text BETTERBEAUTY to 52886

No official #100handstandsofsummer this year, but in honor of June 1, thought I'd put this out there. 🤩🤸‍♀️ (#sizzle 🔊 cooking my breakfast 😂). Probably won't post one every day, but I'm still working on it! 💪 @502poweryoga #getupsidedown #thisisme

Why is mindful breathing important? 🤷 Taking regular breath breaks, or intentional deep breaths, is one way to tone the Vagus Nerve (which is what activates the parasympathetic nervous system or the rest and digest response). The more toned your vagus nerve is, the easier it is to get back to that calm state! 👉Do you notice a difference in your stress levels when you take deep breaths? Let me know what you think! 💗 #justbreathe #intentional #mindful #breathe #flow #connect #live #shine #authenticliving #thisisme #yogateacher #wellnesscoach #magicmaker #connection #community

Take a Breath Break: Spring Break edition! 🌞 Maybe you're at the beach this week and maybe you're not, but you can still get the benefits of visualizing being at the beach! 🌊Close your eyes and picture yourself by the ocean, the waves rolling in, and then the waves rolling out. 🌊 Then sync your breath with those waves... inhaling as they come in, exhaling as they go out. Repeat as long as needed. Try it out and let me know what you think ❤️ #makingourownspringbreakfun #justbreathe #intentional #mindful #breathe #flow #connect #live #shine #authenticliving #thisisme #yogateacher #wellnesscoach #magicmaker #connection #community

Breath Exercise: Four Square or Box Breathing. 🌬️ This is one of my favorite breath sequences because it's so straightforward (easy to remember!). It's great for anytime during your day when you're stressed out or just need a break. Check out the video for more! 😍 Try it out and let me know what you think ❤️ #justbreathe #intentional #mindful #breathe #flow #connect #live #shine #authenticliving #thisisme #yogateacher #wellnesscoach #magicmaker #connection #community

Don't forget that the work you're doing has value and worth! Thanks for the reminder, Annie @thisnakedmind 🙏❤️ #authenticliving #thisisme #youhaveenough #youdoenough #youareenough #beyou #connection #community

Why is mindful breathing important? By taking regular breath breaks, or intentional deep breaths. Breaths you can activate the parasympathetic nervous system or the rest and digest response. Try it out and let me know what you think! #justbreathe #intentional #mindful #connect #flow #breathe #shine #authenticliving #thisisme #yogateacher #wellnesscoach #magicmaker #connection #community

Take a breath break! 🌬️ Try syncing your breath with movement today, something as simple as a walk around the block and inhaling for five steps, exhaling for six. Try it out and let me know what you notice! ❤️ #justbreathe #breathbreak #intentional #mindful #moveyourbody #connect #flow #be #breathe #authenticliving #thisisme #yogateacher #wellnesscoach #magicmaker #connection #community

Why is intentional or mindful breathing important? 🤷 One of my favorite things is it can help you stay present vs worrying about what's happened in the past or what may or may not happen in the future. In a moment where you're feeling stressed or anxious, pause and take a few deep breaths, then check in and see how you feel. It's free, easy, and always accessible. ❤️ Try it and let me know what you think! #justbreathe #intentional #mindful #connect #flow #breathe #authenticliving #thisisme #yogateacher #wellnesscoach #magicmaker #connection #community

Take a Breath Break! 🌬️ How does your breath feel in your body? 🤷❤️ Take a few minutes today to tune into the way your body moves, shifts, feels with each inhale and exhale you take. What do you notice? Let me know! #breathe #justbreathe #breathbreak #intentional #connect #flow #be #authenticliving #thisisme #yogateacher #wellnesscoach #magicmaker #connection #community

Hey hey! Introducing my NEW breathwork series! 🤩 Focusing on the breath is my FAVORITE thing about yoga, and I've been wanting to share something like this FOREVER, so here it is! 😅 #passionproject #ifnotnowwhen (thanks @camiglauser for the nudge ❤️) 🌬️Stay tuned for more on why I love focusing on breath, all the ways it can benefit our health (and it's always there!!), I'll share short Breath Breaks to help you get in tune with your breath, some longer Pranayama (breathwork) exercises, and more!

"No"vember: a time to practice saying no to people, places, and things that drain your energy - and a time to say yes! to the things that fill you up. ⭐Here are some things filling me up lately, including a fun trip to CO to visit friends and family and a "girls trip" with my dad to celebrate his 80th birthday! ❤️🙏❤️ #connection #authenticliving #bettertogether #dontthinkjustgo #letsgo
