Benefits of Using Fantastic (Adaptogens) Fungi in Skincare
Have you seen the documentary called Fantastic Fungi on Netflix? It is an incredible look into the magical world of mushrooms. While this documentary was for most people the first time they started to see mushrooms as something other than gross squish fungus, for me I began to see mushrooms as something truly powerful when Eminence began using adaptogenic mushrooms in their products. So lets discuss the powerful benefits of using adaptogens in your skincare ritual.

How to Make Avocado Toast with Microgreens: Detoxifying Recipe
I have been intermittent fasting for years and only recently have switched up my eating patterns based on a new study. This means I get to eat breakfast again and man oh man it feels like Christmas came early! I had forgotten how much I love breakfast food, because I associate breakfast with sugar like cereal, pancakes and muffins. However there is so much more to breakfast such as Avocado Toast! Since I don't do anything basic, I enhanced this toast quite a bit with Microgreens and a few other skin healthy ingredients. Hope you like this delicious breakfast recipe!

How to Care for Your Skin: For Men Edition
On average, men can be quite difficult to convince to use skincare. Typically the male self care routine is easier and more simple than what I recommend for women. I am not trying to box in every man, there are definitely men who take excellent care of their skin and are proud of their in depth self care routines. Personally I would love for skin care rituals to become more normalized for men and I think we are on a path to achieving this. Even the most rugged man can find skincare to suit his needs these days.

What Makes a Holistic Esthetician?
Holistic means believing all the parts are connected as a whole. Believing you can't merely treat one symptom of a problem, but that you have to take in all the symptoms and see how they are connected to treat the whole problem. It's kinda like it sounds, holistic - whole-istic. Mind, body, soul.

How to Use Seed Cycling to Balance Hormones
I absolutely love the concept of hormones and the effect they have in our lives. As a holistic esthetician, and from personal experience, I realized a long time ago the incredible need to have balance if you were to heal. My acne when I was growing up was the most frustrating concept. I pride myself on my intelligence and my drive, so when I tried EVERYTHING I educated myself to fix my acne and NOTHING worked, I kinda gave up for awhile. It has taken me years to understand the complexities of balance in the body and how they worked to heal and treat my acne, bringing me to a…
