Welcome!!!

Well, I can't sleep so I decided... why not blog. So its the first entry for Natural Beauty and I must say that I am super excited!!! First I would like to welcome you to our vision... a one stop shop for the person who is attempting to enhance their natural beauty in a holistic and eco-friendly way. We are all about products and will be recommending the ones that we absolutely LOVE!!! But we will also show you how to make goodies at home on the cheap!

TIP 1: Be Prepared!!!

1. Get up and get your day started hours before you have to leave for work, start housecleaning, run errands, or even deal with family. Give yourself enough time to say a prayer and thank God for waking you up yet another day. Each day and every breath is a gift from God. We need to get into the habit of acknowledging and thanking God for the gift of life each and everyday.

2. Start your day with a positive affirmation, devotional or scripture to read. This will also start your day on a positive note and also give you something to meditate on throughout the day.

3. Have a balanced breakfast. Eat something light and filling, that won't weigh you down, but will give you the energy that you need to persevere through the day.

4. Take a shower! There's no better way to start the day then completely refreshed! If you are the type to shower either at night or in the morning at least take a birdbath in the morning and layer your scents. (deodorant, lotion, body spray and hair products) Smelling fresh helps you feel fresh and ready to go.

5. Don't forget to groom! Ladies always brush your eyebrows and some make-up before leaving the house. Even if it's just light powder, mascara and lip gloss. (My favorite routine!)

6. Pack snacks and lunch for the day. The best way to ensure not eating out too much, and avoiding unhealthy last minutes food decisions is to plan ahead. Pack fruit, granola bars and a healthy lunch and take it with you to the office, out running errands or even to a friends house.

7. Incorporate moderate exercise in your daily routine a least 3-4 days a week! This means going for a walk, doing yoga, cycling, swimming or hitting up the gym.

8. Be fruitful throughout your day. Breath and process what your going to say before you even say it. Listen and evaluate whether what you say will bring positive feedback to the circumstances, if not, keep your mouth closed!

9. Take a shower when you get home. Wash the troubles of the day off and thank God for getting you through safely. Not everyone made it home that left today...

10. End your day with some quiet time and reflection. This would be the perfect opportunity to journal, pray as a family or for meditation.

My hope is that we will take these 10 steps and implement them into our daily routines to promote a healthier lifestyle and sense of well-being! Have an incredibly positive and blessed day!
