1. Food: reduce your meat intake with this tip from Dr. Murad – This past week we met with renowned celebrity dermatologist, Dr. Murad, and were able to ask him all types of questions. One piece of advice he gave that stuck with us was this: When making a burger and you want to transition to a plant based diet or you want to cut down on meat, try blending half  meat and half quinoa for your patty. This will give you an extra boost of protein all while cutting your meat intake in half. You can also try this recipe for a %100 veggie bean burger.

2. Beauty: try an aligning mist – A pleasant fragrance is always calming and revitalizing, so next time you need a pick me up try using an aromatherapy and gemstone infused mist. There are so many on the market, but we just tried SageGoddes.com aligning and moving mist. These perfume and room sprays are a blend of essential oils and gemstone essences and are said to improve the energy around us.

3. Home: add a piece of furniture that is circular and light colored – We found this faux fur circular ottoman and use it as an accent table next to our couch. In Feng Shui, having circular furniture keeps the energy in the room constantly moving, which is a good thing! Lighter colors also increase the yang in the room which represents light, day, energy, and the sun.
