I want to achieve total wellness in 2016 – come what may.

disclosure

 

I have something very personal to share with you today.

Health and wellness are incredibly important to me, but I let them fall by the wayside at the end of 2015. Wine and holiday cheer were a bit more important, but I thought, “eh, I’ll turn it around in the New Year.”

Then in January, a close family friend passed away very unexpectedly. I’ve been trying not to let it overtake my efforts, especially because health + wellness could have made all the difference for him — all the more reason to take care of oneself. Still – it’s been hard. Continue reading I want to achieve total wellness in 2016 – come what may. →

There are lots of Vitamin C-packed skincare goodies out there, but Valentia Skin Care’s Even Glow Serum Antioxidant Skin Treatment is one of the best I’ve tried.

That’s why you’ve heard so much about antioxidants – they help fight the oxidizing effect of free radicals, which – not to get too scientific – is when they steal from your existing healthy cells to try to make themselves “complete”, causing a breakdown of your skin cells.
