Finding the right Foundation

Who else struggles with finding the right foundation? Because I sure do! I think it looks close enough to my shade and then apply it and it makes me look like a ghost 🙈 or after I apply it, it feels like my makeup is caked on and I feel like my face can't breathe. BUT I finally found a brand that I LOVE! And you can be confident it is the perfect color for your skin tone before you buy it. They have 17 different shades of foundation, so you're sure to find the one that is perfect for your skin tone! 

-Step one: Coverage

    Chose from one of the 3 different levels of coverage

• SHEER - lightweight, leaving natural skin visible, helps to slightly even skin tone
• MEDIUM- more coverage to camouflage imperfections and even skin tone
• FULL- the most coverage, with a perfected, completely natural look

-Step two: Finish

    choose your look

• MATTE- smooth, perfected look with no shimmer or shine
• NATURAL- not dewy, yet not matte, with no sheen
• RADIANT- a glowing, luminous look
• DEWY- a shining, hydrated look    

-Step three: Benefits

    These foundations address specific skin concerns, from anti-aging to hydration to firming, and more. 

Next, you need to figure out what shade is most flattering and true based on your shade level and undertone. The combination of level and undertone is what determines your perfect shade. On the chart, scan the left column and find the level which most closely matches your natural depth of skin color. Then read across the chart to match your Level with your Undertone. For example, if your skin tone Level is Level 1, and your Undertone is Warm, you would be L1W1 or L1W2.

Your "level" is the depth of your natural skin tone. 

-level one (L1): light

-level two (L2): light-medium

-level three (L3): medium

-level four (L4): medium-deep

-level five (L5): deep

-level six (L6): very deep 

Your "undertone" is the amount of warmth vs coolness in your complexion. 

-Warm (W): for skin that has a golden or olive hue 

-Neutral (N): for skin that has an even-toned, neutral hue, that is neither pink or golden

-Cool (C): for skin that has a pink or rosy hue

This foundation is so lightweight so it doesn't feel like your makeup is caked on; it contains Norwegian fjord water and Hawaiian acai to help deliver a fresh and healthy glow without leaving your face feeling oily. And last, but not least, this company has a 180 day satisfaction guarantee!! That means you can use the product for 180 days (even use the whole bottle) and if you decide you don't like it, they will give you your money back, no questions asked. You just gotta try it!!

Support Immunity and Healthy Digestion

-Why is gut health important?

    Our gut is made up of a system of organs (stomach, pancreas, liver) and it is responsible for keeping our bodies running smoothly. The community of bacteria in our gut, or otherwise called microbiome, aids in digestion by breaking down food, extracting the energy from food, and absorbing the nutrients from food. There are trillions of bacteria in your gut that make up your gut microbiome. This bacteria plays a HUGE part in your digestion and immunity. 

    The microbiome helps our gut to distinguish between good bacteria and bad bacteria. Good bacteria helps break down food, they add an extra layer of protection to the lining of the intestines, and 1000s of other functions. Bad bacteria comes from a bad diet, stress, lack of sleep, pollution, etc. Bad bacteria keeps your microbiome from functioning like it should. When there is more bad bacteria than good, that is when you experience gas, bloating, and untimely bathroom runs. 

    Maintaining the right balance of good bacteria to bad is vital to your mental health, physical health, and immunity. Here are some ways to promote healthy bacteria: maintain a healthy body weight; add dietary fiber, complex carbs, and plant protein into your diet; add probiotics; reduce sugar; and increase fruits and vegetables. 

-How do probiotics contribute to gut health? 

    Probiotics are the good bacteria that our bodies need to support immunity and healthy digestion. They can come from food or from supplements added into our diets. Probiotics support immunity. Probiotics support healthy digestion. Probiotics help keep our digestive system in balance

-Why "Balance Within Probiotic"?

    This probiotic is a once a day foundational supplement that fills nutritional gaps in your diet with the probiotics you need to help support gut health. Different probiotics deliver different results and having the right amount of the right strain of bacteria is important for your digestive system's balance. The "Balance Within Probiotic" contains 6.3 billion CFU ( number of live and active micro-organisims that can be found in each serving of the probiotic you are taking) of clinically tested beneficial bacteria. Other probiotics may have more but the focus here is on quality, not quantity. This probiotic also delivers the right strains to right place to help with our digestive flora ( which helps us digest and absorb the food we eat). The naturally strong strains resist the harsh conditions in our stomach and make it to our gut so they're ready to work. The strains selected to be put in this probiotic have the ability stick to the intestine walls to promote a balance of good bacteria. 

    Another important thing to know is that 70% of your immunity is found in your gut. By using a probiotic, you are boosting the strength of your immune system by a lot! 

    It is an easy on-the-go stick of powder that can simple be put on your tongue, in a drink, or sprinkling on your food. 

ON AVERAGE, ADULTS AREN’T GETTING ENOUGH FIBER

Recommended daily fiber intake for adult men 30–38 grams. Recommended daily fiber intake for adult women 21–25 grams per day,

Current total fiber intake among U.S. adults averages about 15 grams per day, that is far below the recommended intake!

I use this probiotic once a day and mix it into a smoothie or into my water or whatever other drink I might have 🙂🧉

Home Cleaning Products

Your home is where every day begins and ends for your family. Keeping it clean, safe, and healthy means being uncompromising with the products you choose to use to clean. 👌💪

The products I use in my home clean and wash more effectively than anything I have used in the past, and on top of that, they're natural. They contain dermatologist-tested formulas that won't harm your home or the people you love. 

They're made with concentrated, naturally derived ingredients such as coconut oil, orange oil, and aloe vera. But what truly sets them apart is how well they work.

-1st home care product: Amway's Multi-purpose Cleaner

If you could only pick one cleaning product to have in your home, it would be this one! It can be used on all washable items and surfaces, even your hands. It is the perfect clean for any surface. Works on any surface that water alone won't harm, including, sealed tile, wood, vinyl siding, stone, linoleum, and ceramic surfaces. It comes in a 1 L bottle of just the concentrate. So you can buy little Amway spray bottles, or do what I did and just buy some cheap ones off Amazon, and then put 1 part concentrate to 9 parts water. The 1 L bottle will fill a 16.9 oz spray bottle 20 times and when you're only paying $10 for the 1 L bottle, that is value!! There are no harmful ingredients and it is dermatologist and allergy tested. The bottle is also biodegradable 😉

-2nd home care product: Amway's Glass Cleaner

Usually if you want your glass surfaces left streak free, you have to used a glass cleaner that has an ammonia base. Not with this glass cleaner! It is ammonia free and when mixed with water it gets rid of dirt, grime, fingerprints, etc. with one wipe. And same as with the multi-purpose cleaner, it comes in a 1 L bottle that fills a 16.9oz spray bottle 8 times! You mix 1 part concentrate with 3 parts water. There are no harmful ingredients and no chemical odor. 

-3rd home care product: Amway's Kitchen Cleaner

Naturally cuts grease! Leave the prep surfaces in your kitchen clean, safe, and sanitary without leaving harmful residue behind. The 1 L bottle of concentrate will fill the 16.9oz bottle 8 times when you do 1 part concentrate to 3 parts water. Dermatologist and allergy tested. No harmful ingredients. Bottle is biodegradable. 

-4th home care product: Amway's Bathroom Cleaner

When it is time to clean the bathroom many of us reach for the protective mask and gloves to make sure the job gets done right. With this bathroom cleaner though, it is all natural so no need to worry about the harmful odors. When mixed with water, it eliminates the scum and gross spots commonly found in bathrooms, leaving nothing behind but a clean, fresh scent. It also does an awesome job at removing hard water spots and film. The 1 L bottle will fill the 16.9oz spray bottle 8 times when you do 1 part concentrate to 3 parts water. Dermatologist and allergy tested. No harmful ingredients. Bottle is biodegradable.
