With the start of the holiday season right around the corner, many of us might be feeling an increase in stress and anxiety. Although there is a lot to celebrate, there is also a lot of negative energy surrounding this time for multiple reasons. Some of us are able to see family, and that may mean resurfacing family traumas and an onslaught of emotions may come sweeping in. While others are stuck with family in different states…
Read MoreThe old saying, “When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail,” illustrates the importance of expanding our set of skills, approaches, tools, and perspectives to effectively overcome a wide range of limitations or challenges. The listed tools have been included in this Guidebook because they are incredibly effective, but there is no “one size fits all” approach to healing or spiritual growth.

The Elixir of Life Retreats intends to offer you tools for self-mastery and to curate an experience where we can build relationships and community that will support us far into the future.

Read MoreDon’t you find it almost hypocritical for skin guru’s tell you to slather SPF every day before leaving the house for sun protection? Listen, we’re not saying we’re against sunscreen, but we are about to let you in on the fact that the sun is quite suitable for you. Though our skin can be sensitive to too much sun exposure, and repeated sunburns can cause visual damage, the sun can help preserve the health and beauty of your unprotected skin.
Today we’re sharing three ways to get beautiful skin from unprotected time under the sun.
Read MoreWe’ll cut straight to the chase here, facials are not only one of our favorite pampering activities, but they’re also super beneficial for the overall health and wellness of your skin.
We often hear how clients wish they had “more time for facials” but fail to remember all of the other regular appointments they have in their calendars, like the kid’s soccer practice, the dentist, or even a dog grooming visit. Why do we often put ourselves at the bottom of our to-do lists? Shouldn’t we put more time and energy into caring for ourselves and our skin?
Read MoreWe get you - your stress and anxiety levels have reached their peak. It’s time to take a mental health day, but what will you do with it? Our head tells us to just lay in bed all day, and we’ll feel better when there are key things we should do instead to help our body and mind reset. While one day of nurturing your body won’t cure everything, including underlying health conditions, it will undoubtedly provide a much-needed break to pause, me back with greater regroup, energy, and a fresh, less-stressed perspective. Who doesn’t want that?
Today we’re sharing three tips to help you make the most of your mental health day. Because let’s be honest, your mental health is just as important as your physical health - and that’s on self-care.
Read MoreYou know when you’re at the nail salon, and at the end of your manicure, they give you a hand massage you didn’t know you needed?

Read MoreCall it your gut feeling, some say it’s your instinct, but intuition is the ability to understand something immediately without needing conscious reasoning. You know when you sense something isn’t right, but you can’t explain why? It’s your inner voice talking to you, and often, people don’t listen to it or second-guess themselves because ‘it doesn’t make sense.’ So, why is this important?
Because your intuition tells you what needs to be heard, it’s up to you to listen. Today I’m sharing how-to start tuning into a woman's intuition and how it can positively change your life.
There is one goal most every woman has as we grow through life: to have immaculate skin. Not only is your skin our largest organ, it’s also a direct reflection of our inner health as well. Thanks to perfectly-curated social feeds and over-edited magazine ads, our idea of “perfect skin” can sometimes feel out of reach. (A little reminder that skin is meant to have texture and no one actually has zero pores.) I, myself, even struggle with breakouts, redness and some morning puffiness.
Luckily, by using these simple and effective gua sha techniques, having healthy, flawless skin is at the tip of your fingers. We are talking contour and minimizing fine lines.
