Eat more cherries! It's summer!
They're good for your skin (and more :)
Topical skincare products aren't the only things that give your complexion a boost. Dietitians will tell you that fruits and vegetables with the deepest colors offer the most health benefits.The darker the cherries the sweeter they taste and the sweeter the benefits. Cherries offer both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory advantages to your complexion. Antioxidants protect your skin from environmental stressors ( like pollution) and free-radicals.. Cherries contain vitamins A,C,E and potassium. Vitamin C is especially important for collagen production.
I've talked about how important sleep is for skin renewal and repair ( and so many more health benefits- stress, weight, staying sharp...). Another benefit of cherries is that they contain trytophan and melatonin, both known to promote sleep. That makes them a perfect after dinner snack!
Stress triggers reactions in your body that can send signals to the skin which can cause flare ups. Cortisol, a major stressor, can cause acne, rosaccea and ecezema. Sweet cherries are high in serotonin, a chemical that promotes a happy mood and overall well-being to combat stress. Grab those cherries now!
Good looking. Crazy comfortable. Consciously made.
Cariuma is the cool sneaker from Brazil that you need in white for cute mini and maxi dresses or in a fun color for shorts and jeans for running around or touring a foreign country when you are ready to go again. They are "an old school sneaker with new school ethics".
Caruimas come in several styles and great colors.They are 100% vegan, plant-based, made with sustainably harvested bamboo in ethical factories and shipped in carbon neutral packaging to you. Good for you- good for the environment. Will be my new sightseeing
shoe hopefully next spring . caruima.com
Norstrom's Anniversary sale is here.
Once a not to be missed event for savvy shoppers, the sale doesn't have the cachet or selection it used to have, yet there are definitely some things worth shopping at really good prices.I recommend checking out the lingerie on sale, especially Natori and Chantelle bras, HankyPanky thongs and underwear and Barefoot Dreams cozy lounging cardigans and pj's. If you love designer jeans but not the prices, check out AG, Frame and Good American on sale. There are good buys on Zella activewear- especially one of my favorite leggings. Ugg boots and slippers are worth checking out at sale prices. The Spanx faux leather legging sold out last year but is back again and a favorite for fashionistas. (They run a little small- size up) Good prices on Nike, Addidas and On Cloud running shoes. I usually buy our granddaughter's winter Northface jacket at this sale every year and there are some cute things for kids from Tucker and Tate. Check it out now- things are already selling out!
