  • Can you detox through your feet?

    YES!
    Feet have over 3000 sweat glands, you can open them up and release toxins through the sole of your feet by using hot water and sea salt.
    Long days of Winter are coming soon, this foot soak is perfect when you get home and just want to lounge on your couch but you still want to do something beneficial for your detoxing. After you will feel revitalized! Drink tea or water to help flush out toxins.
    Here's how to do it:
    Fill a tub with warm water, use any container that allows you to sit in a chair and comfortably place both feet inside, immersed in the water up to at least your ankles will work.
    Add a few tablespoons of sea salt, Epsom salts or both to the water and mix. Sea salt contains healthy minerals and helps draw toxins away from the skin and its soothing to sore feet and muscles.
    Epsom salts, also known as magnesium sulfate, are known for easing pain, reducing swelling and promoting relaxation and well being.
    Add six to ten drops of essential oils and swirl again, here's some suggestions on which oils to use:
    Eucalyptus: cooling, refreshing, purifying
    Lavender: calming, relaxing, healing
    Lemon: cooling, refreshing, purifying
    Peppermint: cooling, refreshing, energizing
    Sweet Orange: Uplifting, purifying, calming
    Tea Tree: healing, stimulating, purifying (also great for fungal infections)
    Soak your feet for 10 minutes or more adding more warm water as needed, end your foot soak with an invigorating peppermint lotion. For an extra level of detox you can put a mud mask on your feet and wash off when its dried. We have a great one here Newport Skinny Tea detox face mask

  • 1st-- YOU REALLY ARE FANTASTIC

    First of all, I believe in you.
    I know you can do ANYTHING. Whatever. The. Hell. You. Want.
    What about you?
    Are you sure? Have you committed to YOU?
    Unless you are ALL IN, part of you is still expecting to fail. So here, let's make a pact together to really commit to ourselves and what we want.
    What do you want? Why do you want it?
    Mostly we want things that we feel will make us "happy" which never really seem to pay off. Have you noticed that external things and even people, never really seem to pay off the way you want them to?
    Happiness is an inside job, happiness is knowing YOU ARE WORTH IT.
    Worth it? Okaaaaayyyy says my inner 12 year old, raised on Loreal commercials and sarcasm...
    But its true, you are worth the time it takes, the money it takes, the attention it takes, the absolute effing and real loyalty, honesty, blood, sweat and tears it takes, the soul baring moment when you say THIS IS NO LONGER ENOUGH, I WANT MY LIFE TO BE THE SHIT!
    Your happiness is worth all of it, BUT ONLY YOU CAN CLAIM IT.
    And I'm not just talking, its my truth, its what was at the end of my rainbow and it is the POT OF GOLD you've been looking for.
    See, I know what its like to struggle, to settle, to wonder.... am I good enough? And to LOOK AND LOOK AND LOOK for the answer... OUT THERE.
    The answer isn't out there.
    As you can tell, I'm PASSIONATE about this topic.
    I'm passionate about YOU finding YOUR BODY, LIFE, SOUL SUCCESS- Whatever that means to you!
    No more waiting, No more wondering, NO NO NO there isn't time for that now, YOU need you and WE need you!!
    Commit TODAY, NOW, THIS SECOND To yourself!!! To really letting your light, your happiness, your BRILLIANCE shine through to this world that is dying for more of it.
    Much love and health to you
    Jennifer XOXO
    PS Take this seriously, I know one moment in time can be LIFE CHANGING!

  • How to Get Relief with Magical Lavender

    Lavender flowers are quite magical, though we associate them with southern France in the Summer, I think they're a great flower to use during Spring, when we get affected by the seasonal changes. They are great to use in almost any form, but respect their potency, don't use them everyday and don't ever take the essential oil internally.
    Lavender is wonderful for easing anxiety and insomnia. You can use it to help dispel headaches and energetically it helps shield your entire energy field... like when you don't want people prying into your business or messing with your emotions. Think of it as your automatic chill button.
    The tea is full of antioxidants and incredibly uplifting, though it isn't a tea you should drink too frequently. The essential oil when dabbed at the third eye and throat chakras will keep out unwanted influences. To create harmony in your home, burn lavender flowers as incense or in your fire and burn lavender scented purple candles.
    Lavender is also well-known to attract love, so be careful who you wear it around. I like spraying it on my bedsheets, actually I love the smell anytime, on anything!
    Lavender is a gentle pain reliever, you can use the tea when you've been working or studying to hard and need to wind down for the night. Add the flowers to peppermint tea to warm your body or spearmint to cool your body. If you suffer from migraines like me, lavender essential oil in a bath can help soothe your aching brain.
    Our Corona del Mar paleo lean tea has lavender along with spearmint and calendula, perfect forĀ  after a workout when you're really hot or after a family visit when they've pushed your buttons! This tea in particular can help stop emotional eating, it is also not caffeinated so you can use it when evening munchies hit.
    Trying to increase your meditation or yoga practice? Lavender in any form will help you connect with your spiritual side and focus, perfect as we welcome the Sun to Pisces, the mystical sign ruled by Neptune!
    Much Love & Magic this Spring
