The most important things that will have you feeling amazing and healthier in your daily life!
* Keep your hydration up! Drink lots of water and if you don't like plan water, try Coconut Water! Great replacement and full of healthy nutrients and benefits!
* Eat natural sugars, so load up on fruits and vegetables in replace of artificial sugars! When cravings hit, grab a piece of fruit or a few vegetables.
* Cleanse your skin daily 2x a day minimum
* Moisturize accordingly to your skin type.
* Make it a routine to exfoliate 2x a week to get rid of dead skin cells and introduce a fresh, healthy layer of skin to the surface and have a beautiful glow to your skin.
The biggest mistake the average person makes when it comes to their Skincare routine is consistency! For a balanced and fresh look you should make sure to cleanse 2x a day, moisturize 2x a day and exfoliate 2-3x a week depending on your skin's condition.

Education 101 on Compromising Ingredients in Some Products
Can I mix products without compromising effectiveness of the ingredients?
Answer is:
Yes you can! But you should never mix any products with SPF in them! It dilutes the sunscreen and your chances of being protected just diminished by 70%!
Never mix a product that has:
* Salicylic Acid
* Glycolic Acid
* Alpha- Hydroxy Acid
With:
* Hydroquinone
* Retinol
* Vitamin C products
The acids will breakdown these products and some of these products are meant for exfoliation. If you mix them with other products that are not meant to be mixed you could experience a deeper issue that could potentially burn your skin and/or cause a severe rash!
Just please be cautious and always read labels as they are important in everything we use in our day to day lives.

Skin Consulting 101
I would like to take a moment to discuss something that is very important to myself as well as the clients I work with everyday.
It is called a Skin Consultation. One of the MOST IMPORTANT steps in finding a solution for clients who need direction on their skin care routine.
I cannot stress this enough in my everyday life especially when I have clients approaching me, asking me things like;
* "This cream is making me breakout"
* "I am finding that this product is burning my skin"
* "I don't know how to use this"
* "What is this suppose to do for my skin again?"
The question I ask them is, " Did someone sit down with you and do a skin care consultation?" And 8/10 times they say no and have no idea what a skin care consultation is.
As a professional, you have to recommend products for clients everyday. Also, you have to make sure it is going to work for them before they walk away from you. It is so important to learn about their skin as well as educating them on procedures, techniques and solutions to help them get back to a state of mind that they feel comfortable with themselves.
I see too may Consultants that just spend 2-5 minutes with a client and then a week later that client comes back with one of the questions quoted above. You are only taking credit off of yourself as well as losing the confidence that the client saw in you.
If I was to walk into a place that sold products and someone took the time out of their day to understand my needs and wants then I would forever remember that experience, oppose to walking in, being recommended to use a certain item, take it home and have a reaction right away. And don't forget I would then have to take time again out of my day to deal with the issue, that could've been avoided.
Treat others how you would like to be treated in situations because it gives you a true appreciation of the industry and of the person.
Find out what the needs, wants and outcomes your clients have laid out and educate them on how they can reach those goals. They are putting their trust in you so you need to show them.
Create a relationship with your clients, it is #1.

Spring Cleaning By The Detox Method
Spring is around the corner and I thought I would share this lemon detox recipe for you all to try. It is originally a 10 day cleanse but if you are starting out, just try 3 days at first. Enjoy!
The Lemonade Diet works just how it sounds, and so the recipes for the diet itself are fairly simple. Here is an example of a few good recipes that can be used. (Courtesy of Master Cleanse Secrets)

| Lemon Detox Cleanse |
Master Cleanse Diet Recipe
#1 (single serving):
- 2 Tbsp Lemon (approx ½ of a Lemon)
- 2 Tbsp Genuine Organic Maple Syrup (not Maple flavored sugar syrup you'd put on pancakes)
- 1/10 Tsp Cayenne pepper (red pepper)
- Ten oz. glass of hot water (cold can be used if preferred)
#2 (60 oz. daily serving):
- 60 oz. water
- 12 Tbsp organic Maple syrup (Grade B)
- 12 Tbsp lemon juice
- ½ Tsp Cayenne Pepper
There are a couple important things to remember when using these recipes. For one, the lemon juice used must be fresh squeezed. This cannot be emphasized enough. It is necessary to use fresh produce. Canned juice won't work and will erase most of the benefits of using this diet. Also, the maple syrup must be organic, Grade B maple syrup, not the sugar filled syrup that is used at the breakfast table.
DIY Home Remedy- Ingrown Hairs
Whether you have ingrown hairs on your arms, legs, stomach, face (yes
face because guys this is for you too!) you can do this simple at home
remedy and you will see noticeable results.
Dab some body scrub (doesnt matter a brand-depends on how abrasive you would like it- but try St.Ives Apricot Scrub~Blackhead Clearing its available at any drugstore or WalMart for $4.00) and apply on a clean brand new toothbrush and gently apply pressure in circles.
The scrub encourages your skin to release the impurites and and trapped hair so you can easily tweeze it out.
