What Motivates Me

by graceisthenewglam, posted in Uncategorized

ImageIt’s so easy to get dragged down by life – your job, your friends, family drama. It’s like going down a rabbit hole and not being able to breathe. 

I try so hard not to get sucked into a booby-trap of negativity by focusing on what motivates me. Here’s just a few… 

Doing things that make me feel good…. For instance, I took a mega-hard hot yoga class tonight. I had no idea what to expect and it’s been a while since my last intense yoga class.  I suited up and faced my fears (sweat my brains out) and completed the practice. Guess what? I loved it – and now I’m inspired to write tonight! Other feel-good things to me are – walking, cuddling up and watching TV with my BF, late night calls with my sister, mid-afternoon naps, much needed mani/pedis, etc. 

Motivated people (also filed under ‘People who walk the walk’….)… I love people that inspire me.  It’s the people who work really hard around me on a daily basis that keep work fun and creative.  Also – top notch people making a difference like Marianne Williamson, Josie Maran, Summer Rayne Oakes, Krishna Das, Kris Carr… I can go on and on. All of these individuals have passion and do good for the world. 

Do-Good Companies…. There’s so many out there right now, but off the top of my head I can think of Toms, The Giving Keys, Acure Organics, Nika Water, Whole Foods Market, Charity Water, etc. All of these big and small companies are motivating me.  That’s what I want to be a part of.

There’s lots more – but maybe this post will motivate you too. What inspires and motivates your spirit? Tell me in the comment! 

Acure Skincare

My FIRST product review….how exciting! 

ImageI’ve always battled skin issues (and I’m still battling).  Sensitive skin, acne, eczema, you name it, I’ve had it. It seems like it never ends.  While coasting through the aisles at Whole Foods Market – I found Acure! First of all, the price is affordable for everyone ranging from $10-$20. secondly, Acure is free of all of the “bad” stuff – animal testing, parabens, sulfates, phthalates, synthetic fragrances, harmful preservatives and artificial colors. To top it off, their packaging is completely recyclable AND they give back to causes for each product purchase.

I’ve been using their Sensitive Skin line for over a week – and I’ve seen and felt the difference. My skin is softer and more moisturized and my eczema cleared up after using the products. What I really loved about the stuff, is that is smells great and it’s loaded with argan oil and probiotics.

I’m going to review more of their products soon – but this is just a start.  I HIGHLY recommend their Sensitive line – (Facial Cream + Shower Gel)
