Ep. 47: Beauty Secrets Vol 6:Ayurvedic Beauty,Your Dosha & Ojas
I’ve been spending time learning about Ayurvedic Beauty — an ancient Indian approach to wellness and beauty that I’ve really connected with. Everything in Ayurveda comes back to your specific dosha type. The three doshas: vata, pitta and kapha and they’re each associated with different energies which I go through in this episode.
I also share some knowledge on maintaining Ojas. In Ayurveda, Ojas is believed to be responsible for vitality, strength, health, long life, immunity and mental/emotional wellness.

Ep. 32: Beauty Secrets Vol. 4: Clear Your Beauty Clutter
We all want Into the Gloss & Pinterest-worthy beauty shelves. It’s CRITICAL that you organize your beauty space for the ultimate self-care practice. In this episode, I share my 5 essential steps to clearing beauty clutter — a process that I’m currently undergoing & not quite sure why I waited so long to do bc the results….*life-changing*
STEP 1: EVALUATE & TOSS OR FIND ANOTHER USE FOR IT - With a little help from Japanese organization expert and best-selling author Marie Kondo, I encourage you to go through all of your products and ask “Does this spark joy?” if not toss it or find another use for it (some good tips for repurposing products)
STEP 2: ORGANIZE YOUR MAKE-UP BY FREQUENCY OF USE - Now that you only have the things you love, organize your products by how often you use them
STEP 3: TRY TO FINISH WHAT YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU BUY - Make it your mission to finish products before you get new ones and join me in my pledge to STOP buying lipgloss
STEP 4: BUY SMARTER - Always sample before you buy, Sephora will forever have my heart bc you can return everything - NEVER buy foundation without testing for a full day and the same goes for fragrance
STEP 5: MAKE STORAGE CHIC - I use empty candle holders or mason jars to store my brushes and pencils

Ep. 28: Beauty Secrets Vol. 3: Touch This Skin Darlingg
Supple, hydrated and flawless skin is the goal. I’m LOVING natural oils for all of my skincare needs these days and I wanted to share everything I’ve learned in this episode. I cover how to buy the right oils for your skin (beware of branded versions of natural skincare you can easily find online for 1/3 of the price). Then I go into the three ways I’m using oils for the best my skin has ever been:
Oil Cleansing my face at night - a game changer (can’t believe I ever used those drying commercial cleansers) Making homemade brown sugar scrub with olive oil or coconut oil My religious application of castor oil for my cuticles and lips to keep everything super hydrated

Ep. 21: Beauty Secrets Vol. 2: 'Nothing Tastes as Good as Skinny Feels'
When did dieting become so controversial? We're encouraged to eat whole foods, ignore the scale, and focus on health – but some people (i.e. me) still want to lose weight sometimes. The weight-loss landscape is cluttered with paleo hacks and detox teas, but I'm going to talk about what actually works. I have 5 simple tips for short-term weight-loss that anyone can do.
From intermittent fasting to swapping time at the gym for meal-prep, these tactics have never let me down. Products/Apps Mentioned: Zero, fasting app: http://apple.co/2iALpso David's Tea, Forever Nuts: http://bit.ly/2tmtGKK
