Did you know your sense of smell is your most primal sense and exerts surprising influence on your thoughts, emotions, moods, memories and behaviors? The sense of smell is different from your other senses, they are processed through different pathways in your brain.

Most everyone knows the idea “If you don’t take care of yourself then you won’t be able to take care of others”, But most people aren’t taking care of themselves. People are overworked, focused on goals for the future, juggling different projects, spread too thin and just worrying about life in general. Everyone is so connected to the world, getting caught up in the drama and our lives and our bodies suffer from the stress.

Most often when people come to my massage practice complaining of joint/back pain (and advil isn’t helping) I find out about their water intake and ask them to try an experiment with drinking more water; “Keep a glass of water at your bedside and drink it if you wake up at night, when you wake up in the morning notice your stiffness.”

If you are in pursuit of a healthy lifestyle, choosing organic skincare is a priority. Why? Professional organic skincare products work better, and are better for you. When you choose organic skincare, you are choosing products whose ingredients work with the natural systems of your skin and body.

In the world of Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, fast fashion, and fast everything, have long, lingering facials lost their magic touch? This fast paced, rushed lifestyle doesn't help our health and mental state. Choose a facial that includes a relaxing neck and shoulder massage. Your mind and body will appreciate the extra 10 minutes of pampering.
