The Motivation To Eat Well
According to Epicurus, food should be a pleasure of every moment. The founder of the school of philosophy dedicated to the research of happiness and the absence of pain, Epicureanism, is the first to admit that eating satisfies not only a biological need but also a desire. However, Epicurus was a man who believed in exercising sobriety and moral to his wishes. Indeed, if you want food to remain a pleasure, you need to eat smartly and moderately. Unfortunately, nowadays, our relationship to food has become difficult with the abundance of junk foods high in fat and sugar, and the constant worry to meet beauty standards. We tend to eat…

Air Quality in Your Home
This is a sponsored post. Have you ever thought about air quality in your home? I’m kind of crazy about wanting my home clean and just the way I like it, but most of us (at least I don’t) don’t think about the air. Sure, I vacuum, wash the floors, dust, etc., but I don’t really ever think about the air or my ducts. I also never think about mold, because that just sounds terrifying in your home! But besides the cleanliness of getting your ducts cleaned and checked for mold there are also a lot of health benefits. Allergens, dust mites, pet dander, mold spores, and more can be…

So when I was sent these new body and room sprays from Guru Nanda, the leading maker of essential oils and aromatherapy products, I was excited to give them a try. Right now Guru Nanda has 2 body & room sprays – peppermint and…

Laser Session 1
A few days ago I underwent my first laser treatment. If you follow my Instagram Stories then you may have heard me talk about it both before and after the session. Due to a few annoying breakouts over the years, I have slowly accumulated a few acne scars on my cheeks. They are decently covered up by makeup, but unless I really want to pile it on they’re still faintly visible. If I’m not wearing makeup they’re noticeable. So after a year of thinking about it I decided to go for a consultation at a medical spa – Reflections Center for Skin & Body – recommended to me by my dermatologist.…
