THANKSGIVING DINNER OUTFITS

If you can already smell the turkey, apple pie, and cranberry sauce, it is Party Season! The question of the month is what do I wear for Thanksgiving Dinner Party or should I just enjoy my dinner plate in bed?

Here are a few fashion choices I consider this year.

The classic sweater, jeans, and booties

This perfectly summarises: stylish yet comfortable, to be prepared for all of the running around and Turkey Dinner craziness.

A fall dress with boots

That is a great option if you all planning to enjoy all of the dinner goodies. The dress will allow you to breathe and move after the last bite you take.

Oversized Collard Shirt

Vintage is so in trend right now and I love it! You can pair this feminine shirt with a pair of darker color jeans.

Sweater Vest

Another great Thanksgiving outfit idea! Vests have been popular for a while now and it is super easy to style with a button-up or a turtleneck.

Plaid Blazer

Keeping it classy! The gorgeous statement as a Plaid Balzer is something elegant yet chic and approachable.

So what is it going to be? A family dinner, a party with friends or a stay at home kind of day?

Fall Trends.

Bye Spooky mood, we are ready for new makeup trends!

While we will always enjoy the timeless neutral palette and the natural beauty look, consider breaking from your usual routine and dive into bright tones! Everyone can find something that illustrates their personality. Ranging from delicate and feminine tones to eye-catching bright and bold hues!

Smokey Eyes! Smokey eyes are always in style, as they really should be! Smoked-out eyes are sexy, sensual and goes perfectly with with simple nude gloss.

Blush Party! Forget about barely visible contouring and try creamy, rich blush. This year, pink cheeks and temples are really popular. Some people even use lipsticks to achieve the desired smooth and silky appearance.

Metallic Eyeshadow! It is a remarkably simple way to add a touch of sparkle and shine to your look. By the way, celebrities love this look this season!

Fall is one of our favorite seasons, and we hope you enjoy trying out these cute fall cosmetics ideas that we intend to use for ourselves.

Destress Employees with these Affordable & Great Event Benefits

Numerous studies show that job stress is far and away the major source of stress for American adults.

Employee Wellness Events can help alleviate stress in the workspace.

• We all need a break! During a demanding workweek, a 10-minute break to unwind and recharge can seem impossible, especially when you need it most. It is simple to access physical, mental, and emotional wellness right at your office with corporate chair massages.

• Create an amazing atmosphere. Employees spend a lot of time with their co-workers. The more they enjoy it, the happier the workplace will be. A Wellness Event could be a great opportunity and atmosphere for employees to come together and a great productivity booster for the entire office.

• Event packages can reduce your overall expenses.

Benefits of Pressure Points

Stress and anxiety can be experienced daily in our lives and it can be caused by numerous things. One of the possible reasons is based on his/her environment and living in the city can be as stressful as it can be every single day. Dealing with endless traffic and crowds, an individual’s stress and anxiety level can easily increase swiftly due to the hustle and bustle within the city.

As much as possible, it is extremely important to have natural relieving remedies that can help with calming one’s self on-the-go. Our bodies have pressure points that can quickly provide relief from stress and anxiety. When the pressure builds throughout the day, some solutions are available tp be used anytime and anywhere. Try some of the effective methods using the pressure points and your fingerprints that are listed below:

To treat stress, headaches, toothaches, and facial pain, apply pressure on your muscle that is situated between the thumb and index finger on either hand.

For migraine and low energy, the muscles behind the ear and back of the neck can be self-massaged for instant relief.

Being in larger crowds can be nauseating. Applying pressure around the muscles located on the side of your legs can help. 

Decreasing hypertension while on the move is possible. It is as easy as applying pressure in between eyebrows. This is also known as the third-eye point.

Been writing and typing in school or work all day? Apply mild pressure on the inside of both wrists to receive this pressure point’s soothing benefits.

Insoles That Will Make Your Feet Dance

Are you having slight discomfort with walking? Is it making you stay away from your favorite pair of shoes? 

Well, have no fear! We present to you an easy trick that can help you enjoy moving around in your favorite shoes once again.

Did you know that there are various types of insoles that can directly cater to the podiatric issues that you may be having? If you are experiencing foot pain or just want to overall avoid foot-related issues, there are insoles that are designed for specific feet categories and activities. There are three different feet categories: over-pronators or flat feet, neutral foot-types, hyper-supinators or high-arched. 

Already know the category where your feet belongs? Great! Let us get started on finding the best insole for you.

For High-Arches:

Hyper-supinator feet requires a highly cushioned, flexible running sole. The flexibility of the insole is very important so it can customize its shape and support the hilly shape of the feet. It is also important for the insoles to be lightweight so it won’t feel like a burden when you are running around. We recommend insoles that are made with memory foam such as HappyStep.

For Flat Feet:

What is important for flat-footed individuals is firmness. The insoles need to provide support from heel to toe and it should have multiple layers of cushion with the flexibility to help with proper posture. We recommend insoles with cushioning layers and shock-absorption such as Spence RX.

For Neutral Foot Types:

With choosing the right insoles for the neutral-footed individuals, it is best to base it on the type of activity that you want your feet to be supported in. For example, insoles for walking all day are usually labeled as the all-purpose insoles. Walking insoles are created with specific fabric that would keep away moisture to keep the feet cool and dry throughout the day. Try Sof Sole if you would like to support your walking.

For runners, active insoles that can provide control, stability, and support for your feet during fast-paced activities. Brands such as Vionic are highly recommended for running. 

Last but not least, insoles for individuals who have jobs or activities that require them to stand all day. Maximum support is indeed needed for all-day standers. A super deep heel cup can provide the support needed and it can also help position the soft tissue to naturally absorb shock. Superfeet Green is highly recommended for this all-day activity.

Back-to-School Fitness

School is just around the corner and kids are getting ready to start their busy schedules once again. For our moms out there, this means we can finally take a break from all of the running around with our little ones throughout the summer break.

Either you’re jumping back to your old healthy routines or looking to start a new one, here are a couple of tips that are quick, effective, and beneficial.

1. Meal Planning

Eating healthy can be a hassle when you are a busy bee. To maximize time, creating a meal calendar in advance and preparing meals for the week is the way to go.

1. Building A Small Fitness Area At Home

It is idealistic to go to the gym 3-4 times a week but with our busy weekday schedules, it can sure be a hard plan to follow. Try creating a small section for some in-home workout equipment like a yoga mat, dumbbells, and medicine ball where you can store it away easily.

1. Grab A Workout Buddy

If you have the time to squeeze in gym time in your weekly schedule, then grab yourself a gym partner.

It is good to have someone that can motivate you throughout the process!

1. Play With Your Kids

Children are just naturally active and they seem to have the energy for days! Whenever you spend some quality time with children, be prepared to be in active mode. In return, this is also another way for us to stay in shape physically and mentally.

Catching Vitamin D

Catch Some Vitamin D!

When the sun is shining, are you actually catching the rays?
We sure hope so!

The healthy glow from a tan is not the only benefit that we can receive from the sun. Did you know that Vitamin D is absorbed through the sun as well?

Vitamin D, also known as the "sunshine vitamin," is produced by the body as we absorb the sun rays as well as from certain food and supplements. Vitamin D supports maintaining healthy bones and teeth, strengthens the immune system and cardiovascular health, regulate insulin levels, protection from certain conditions such as diabetes, cancer, and multiple sclerosis, boosts energy, and much more. In addition, sun exposure is beneficial to infants and expecting mothers.

When the sunlight is absorbed by our skin, our body system synthesizes this particular vitamin. It can be as simple as stepping outside during midday and exposing ourselves to the sun for about 5-10 minutes throughout the week and we can help our bodies produce sufficient Vitamin D. So what is the catch? Well, let us catch as much sunlight that we can this summer so we can store some Vitamin D in our system during the winter days!

Summer Detox

Summer Detox

We already made it to the first half of the year and summer has officially begun. With us entering a new season, it is also the perfect time to switch up a couple of things in our diet and introduce new healthy recipes that can assist with detoxing our bodies.

How about a 3-day detox? Here are 3 recipes that you can try for 3 days to detoxify your body and start your summer right.

Let’s start with oatmeal with bananas and flax seeds.
Eating a mighty bowl full of nutrients first thing in the morning is a great way to start the day. Oats will provide aid in digestion which is a major key in a detoxified diet. Plus, it can also help reduce blood pressure. With bananas, it is antiviral and antifungal properties can help promote healthy gut flora. And flax seeds? Well, it is an excellent source of fiber and that completes the mighty detox bowl!

During the summer days, it is important to keep our bodies hydrated. Cantaloupe and watermelon are the perfect detoxifying snacks to munch on. Watermelon can help cleanse the body by removing body toxins that are slowing down metabolism. When getting rid of body toxins, it helps boost our metabolism. Cantaloupe also has beneficial nutrients that can help flush toxins from the body just like watermelon. The perfect combination to snack on during our 3-day detox.

Last but not least, a salad is always a great dish to have during the summertime especially when detoxing. An arugula salad makes a perfect detox salad. Arugula is classified as a superfood. It is a great source of folate, vitamins A, C, & K, calcium, magnesium, and more. It is also known for cleansing blood, skin, and liver. With arugula as a base, you can simply add detoxifying toppings to your salad to make it a super salad!

With the season changing and the millions of fun things to involve ourselves into, are we also remembering to prepare for the humidity? How will you keep yourself from being dehydrated?

Check out the easy tips that we were able to gather that can definitely help you keep your body hydrated internally and externally.

• WATER!

  Plus. you can also use it as a hydrating and calming mask, too. Yum!

• You can never be too old for milk.
  Milk is packed with protein, carbohydrates, calcium, and electrolytes and it is more hydrating than some of the sports drinks.

Celebrating Mother's Day

May is here and flowers are starting to bloom along with the chirping cheerful birds.
It all makes sense as to why Mother's Day has been assigned to be celebrated during this colorful month.
With the beautiful weather upon us, it inspires us to create more wonderful ways to express our appreciation to all the great mothers out there during this special time. From lavish bouquets of flowers and fine dine-ins to a fun shopping day we try our best to pick out extra-ordinary gifts that we know a mother would love.

Mothers are known to juggle everything between work, home, and anything else that we can possibly imagine. As they say, it is an endless job of being a mom. It has even been said at times that some mothers would not have a clue on how to "relax" or "take a break" due to the fact that they are just workaholics! On the contrary, this actually gives us the opportunity to set up and give one of the best gifts that we can ever present to our hard-working moms.

The gift of relaxation will always be priceless. It is something that is overlooked at times and it is absolutely appreciated whenever it is either given to self or by someone else. Pampering your mom on her special day is one of the ultimate gifts you can present her and it just goes a long way. Whether it is for your mom, your wife, your grandmother, daughter, or auntie, setting up a special day for a manicure, pedicure, massage, or reflexology will fit in the occasion effortlessly.

The Magic of Water

Ever seen real magic on this planet? Why yes, you have!

Water is such a magical component that we humans tend to overlook at times but we are here to remind you all about its great and never-ending benefits.

From skin to bones, adequate consumption of water greatly contributes to our healthy journey. It is extremely amusing how one element can improve almost everything.

Approximately 50 to 70%  of our body mass is made up of water and this includes our skin, tissue, cells, and organs.

In beauty, applying water in our regular diet helps with the growth of hair and clearing up the skin and maintaining a natural glow.

Drinking water balances the oil of the skin and it aids with flushing the toxins of the body which usually causes acne and other skin problems due to the accumulation of bacteria.

It is powerful enough to combat skin disorders such as psoriasis, wrinkles, and eczema. The skin can also be rejuvenated immediately when the body is soaked in cold water for just a couple of minutes!

Looking for a natural way to tighten the skin? Water can serve that purpose, too.

This natural vitamin is just jam-packed with benefits and we can go on forever with great reasons as to why we should all incorporate consuming water at all times. Most of all, it is free and available for us to use at any time.

Pedi-Care: Winter Tips

Cold weather got your feet feeling blue?

During the winter time, we have no choice but to cover up and keep certain parts of our body from the cold. One, in particular, is our feet and because it is always covered up during this season, we tend to also provide it with less attention and maintenance since it would be rarely seen in any scene.

But must we wait until the sun is shining on our feet again to continue to give it some love? Lucky us, we do not need to! Let us give you some DIY winter tips that will make you have happy feet again no matter what season we are in.

The Sweetest Soak:
Ahhh...this one comes in handy especially on those rough days at work. Here is our favorite —
Anti-oxidant Honey Foot Soak.

Just drop a cup of honey into a shallow tub of warm water and with a 15-minute soak, your feet will feel softer than ever.

The Invigorating Scrub:
We might not be able to erase our coldest days but we can for sure scrub the dead skin away with our DIY Peppermint Foot Scrub.

What we need:

1/2 granulated sugar
4 drops of peppermint oil
coconut oil

Once swirled in together, we can then start applying it directly to our feet. Scrub the homemade potion and soak your feet in warm weather afterward. A slice of heaven for sure!

Moisturizing Socks:

Whether you start with our DIY soak or scrub, it is very important that we keep our feet moisturize especially in this harsh weather. Dry feet during winter can easily cause cracked heels and can lead into multiple disorders such as athlete’s foot. Our simple solution?
Our DIY Jelly socks!

To restore moisture back in our feet, we will only need a few things:

a pair of socks
petroleum jelly 

Before bed, coat your feet with the jelly and massage it evenly. Apply the socks once done and voila! The jelly will be working its magic overnight while you are getting your beauty sleep.

We hope you all enjoyed our mini DIYs and remember, our feet need TLC all throughout the 4 seasons and it only takes 1,2,3 to make it all happen.

Holiday Trails

The season is here when we are moving around non-stop trying to get things done in preparation for the chain of holidays. During the frenzy, we tend to make it impossible to sit down and recharge the proper way all because we have much to do! With all the hustle and bustle in making sure that we have our loved ones covered, we still should not forget that self-care is still a must.

Because of the time restriction that we put on ourselves during the holiday season, the quick self-treats are becoming more appealing in our eyes. A good example is a relaxing pedicure.

Pedicure is more than just nail shaping and buffing. It is also a form of massage and more importantly, targeting our pressure points. In times when we are hit with the extra amount of stress, simple self-care such as treating ourselves with a pedicure session will definitely go a long way.

No time to sit in a nail salon and wait? No worries! We have fantastic professional pedicurists that we can send right at your location. Let us get you set-up and we will deliver the treat right in your favorite space.
