Graceful Living

I was literally so busy today that it wasn't until 7:00 p.m. when I finally realized that I had had one glass of water all day.... ONE all day long. As a skin care professional, I know and preach how important it is to take care of yourself...and especially now, in this changing season.
I say it every day; when stress creeps in and you start to take yourself too seriously…Snap out of it and remind yourself what to do! To stop the spiral make time for yourself! Life can gain on you, and I know that if I don't schedule my time; my time will never happen.
I share this because I know I'm not alone. And I'm not asking for a radical change...today it starts with tea.
Yes, Tea! Just try this next time you get ahead of yourself and need to recharge...sit down and savor a cup of warm tea. The key word is savor it! Force yourself to feel better and do nothing!
For at least one moment...
Tea has its deep-rooted traditions for good reason. Tea contains minerals, antioxidants, vitamins and amino acids, which not only help to prevent cancer; they reduce oxidative stress in the body and delay aging!
….This is a smart beverage!
“Have fun and delay aging” are definitely two ideas competing to be my headline…
But maybe they don't have to compete at all because one absolutely leads to the other. More fun = Less stress = Graceful aging.

One of my facial clients recently turned 50 and made a pact with herself to do one thing for herself everyday.
I love it!
ONE THING.
How can that be too much to ask?....We're talking about YOU. One tiny thing. What a great idea, and all of my studies of health and wellness concur, she will have the best year of her life!


The most effective way to prolong the tally mark tolls of your years is to protect yourself from stresses; the internal ones in ways of worry and anxiety (a.k.a. oxidative stress) and the external ones like sunrays and pollution (free radicals)….let me repeat, “Have fun and delay aging!”

I also know that when you refresh yourself, you not only feel refreshed, you look your best! So when you come into Blush to get refreshed, know that when we offer you a glass of warm tea, our thoughts are all about you! When we get the opportunity to make you feel and look more refreshed and beautiful, we gain the same feeling, and that is one fun way to start chipping away at your anti-aging goals... Come relax with us and we'll share some other tricks up our sleeves ;)

You’re happy, healthy, wise & beautiful, Blushies!
