Working inside out!

I have had a lot of people comment on my skin. I am a true believer that you have to take great care of your skin. After all you only get one in your lifetime! We all long to have that "celeb" glow! But we don't want to pay those outrageous prices for their "secrets". Well if you want their natural glow you must take your vitamins!! I know, I know you hear this all the time from your doctor and parents but its true. What we put into our bodies directly effects our skin, hair, nails and and even our daily energy. I like to take the chewable style. Its a lot to take the "horse" pills, as I call them, every day. I make sure to take my Omega3 and or Fish oil that has it, vitamin D (if in rainy states this is highly lacking in our diet), pre-natals (I know what your thinking this is for just pregnant woman but your wrong. Pre-natals are just a "super" vitamin. It makes sure we get all the vitamins we need while pregnant but is great for your skin, hair and nails). I also sometimes take a fiber and calcium vitamins because as adults and busy schedules we sometimes forget to get all our essential food groups in. I am not saying though that by taking these vitamins you can eat what you want. It is still important to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Below is a picture of the brand of vitamins I like to take.

Along with my daily vitamins like I said above it is import to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Now I am not perfect at this. I cheat all the time but try to make sure to like everything in life find a balance. I try to do some sort of cardio. Me personally I like to run at least 3 times a week. I have heard though that yoga for those that want something a little less impact is amazing and really good for your skin as well. The great thing about working out whatever style you choose to do not only will you feel great but it helps release toxins and purifies your skin. Working out helps keep your skin clear and glowing. It also release natural endorphins that make you happy! And happy people always look better!
Now eating healthy isn't always easy. I don't pretend it is but here are some easy super foods that I like to put in my morning Juice or when I make a smoothies I like to put it in my smoothies.

Aloe Vera Juice helps keep us regular if you know what I mean and is amazing for your skin.  Not many people realize this super juice isn't just good for burnt skin but when drinking it on a daily basis helps keep our skin looking young and fresh. This Juice is also great for boosting our immune system by keeping our system alkaline level optimal.  This is also an amazing detoxifier. As I said above it helps keep us regular and not bloated but it does so by releasing toxins in our body. All very important to maintain a healthy life style.

Perfect Food is an amazing super food. This has all the essential vitamins and nutrients that we get from our vegetables. Like most people I don't eat nearly the amount of veggies that I am supposed. This is a great supplement that when you put it in a juice has hardly any taste! Its a great way to make sure you are getting all your essential nutrients and minerals in a powder form.

I put coconut water in my smoothies instead of milk or water. Coconut water is not only amazing for helping your hair have a beautiful natural shine but also has a lot of electrolytes and helps keep you hydrated through out the day. I am not a huge fan of the taste of this water due to the mineral taste but it is great for your skin and hair so when you put it in your smoothies it is tasteless. 

These are just a few of my daily secrets working from the inside out! When I make my smoothies I like to use blueberries for antioxidants, strawberries for fiber, banana for potassium and I will add a raspberries, blackberries and all natural peanut butter for protein. If you are allergic or not a fan of peanut butter or want a lower calorie fat burner I will sometimes add all natural greek yogurt! 

The saying beauty is from the inside out wasn't only meaning personality! All though that helps too. I must say as well before taking any of these supplements consult with your doctor first. What works for me may react and not work for you so safety first!
