I truly believe the old saying, “you are what you eat” and that “the outside glow you desire really comes from within.” As the season changes from Summer to Fall, our bodies react to the different temperatures. Many of us will catch colds or viruses, our skin will get dry or even itchy and our faces might begin to look dull. We can fight these seasonal epidemics with the naturally occurring vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and anti-inflammatories found in everyday vibrant fruits and vegetables. Basically what I’m trying to politely tell you is that the reason why that hot-off-the-shelves Fenty gold highlighter is failing you is because of your diet and not the product. #Truth #DontBeMadAtTheMessenger You want to glow, change what you eat first and then let’s talk!

[…] Eat a lil’ something before working out. I prefer a mix of carbs, protein & healthy fats like a piece of fruit and nuts or one of my easy to throw together smoothie recipes which can be found HERE. […]
