Month: May 2013

I am ecstatic right now. I just took my first kundalini yoga class in San Diego. I’ve taken classes in Los Angeles before, but not in my beachy little town of Encinitas! Let me tell you, I am blown away. I completely left my body for an hour and 15 minutes, I connected with my soul and it chanted to me….. BE BRAVE. Yep – pretty profound and I’m going back for more! 

Soul of Yoga is the place to be on Thursday nights with the brilliant and moving teacher, Bri Dwight (I really loved her story on her website and I connected with her. Go there (or even make a pit stop there).  Check it out. 

So….take this away with you and maybe use it in a sentence this weekend….SAT NAM. It means “I see your true nature” or “I recognize the divinity within you”

Sat Nam and Good Night! 

I came across this tweet from Mastin Kipp of The Daily Love on handling negative feedback. I really felt I needed to share it.  There are a lot of haters on the internet – I haven’t got any (yet!) but I’m sure there’ll be a day where I do.  On the other hand, I have definitely thought some nasty things about others’ social media – which is just as bad.  But, I forgive myself for thinking that way and move on. Today, I’m curbing that part of me and stopping the negative judgement on others.  We’re just trying to share what we’re doing, right?!

Gabrielle Bernstein is one person who influenced my life in a HUGE way (post to come on that later) and I hate hearing that she’s getting negative feedback because she is doing a wonderful thing – making spirituality cool for young people.  She’s fashionable, hip, sober, health-conscious, and knows her A Course in Miracles. 

Show her some social media love: @GabbyBernstein

Also, pay it forward and put some nice Instagrams, Tweets, and Facebook posts out there today and everyday! 

Hey everyone….I’m so excited to do this post because I’m going to share with you my #1 beauty tip [and secret]. I’ve been using it for a few weeks and my skins looks amazing. I’ve battled acne for years, tried every skincare product, and spent lots of money on facials and dermatologists. I wish I knew about this sooner. 

Here it is…. Bragg’s Apple Cider Vinegar mixed with water as your toner.  Go to the 99 Cents store – grab a travel bottle and make the concoction. I use my toner only at night because you will totally smell like a potato chip (my BF deals with it). 

It’s so great because it’s an antibacterial product and it also stimulates your skin cells, making new ones come to the surface faster. 

You’ve got to try this one….Blackheads, be gone [for good]! 

You can buy the Braggs at Whole Foods Markets. 

I’m so proud to be a healthy graduate of Starbucks, The Coffee Bean, and even Peets. I’m so over those places not having milk alternatives for me (dairy just freaks me out). I just think its not modern and courteous to current diets.

Anyways – onwards. I love Whole Foods Market’s Allegro brand and they always seem to have almond milk ready on the coffee bar which I LOVE. Lately, I’ve been turned onto Tieman’s Coffee (also available at Whole Foods Markets). Better than the average cup of Joe….Tieman’s has super antioxidants – matcha, roobios, and goji berry – and to top it’s awesomeness off – it’s low acid.

Thank you to my health coach extraordinaire, Chassie Bell for the recommendation!

Making your own vision board states what you want the immediate future to bring. I’ve had great success with all of the ones I’ve made and I’m just finishing up my latest one. It’s less “stuff” I want , but more experiences like travel, courage, work experiences, and of course more love!

It’s so easy – all you need is pictures, scissors, and glue. After you’ve collected those things things, you’re ready to tell the universe what you’re looking for. I love it!

Happy Vision Boarding!
