The Best Natural Skincare Ritual for Yogis - with new tips!

Another hot sweaty yoga class. Perhaps another day of having to quickly run straight from class to a meeting or to run errands. You know you should be taking better care of your skin, as you do your mind through your yoga practice, but are not sure quite what steps to be taking.  If you don't take the proper steps you can develop acne, rashes, ingrown hairs, and more.

Three Simple Things to Detox and Healthy Cleanse for 2019 (Spoiler: This is not about a diet!)

Single. Thing. You. Do. Everyday.
