Mirror, Mirror on the wall… Is That Really Me?

Hey Everyone what a wild week, right?  I do realize that for most of us, this was a 4 day week and it went by at lightning speed!

Well I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned in the past, but I’ve been training for a 10k mud run.  Not just a ma’amsy pamsy mud run, but the mother of all mud runs; The World Famous Mud Run on Camp Pendleton.  Yes, friends I will be sharing blood, sweat and probably some tears with some of our bravest.  I have to say that I’m a little nervous and slightly anxious because this will be my first.

So as I’ve been training, I’ve tried very hard to change my diet and daily routine.  One of my vices is a big fat cheeseburger, fries and cold beer- I highly recommend 50/50 Burger in Yorba Linda, CA.  Well you can guess what that does to your hips and well for your skin too.  I know that all the beauty experts say that adding more fruits and vegetables and reducing the amount of alcohol in your diet improves your mental state but also your skin.  Friends, it is true.  My skin has transformed itself to a more youthful appearance.  I used to have to wear foundation to cover up my dark spots and blemishes, but now my skin tone is even and I just get to wear a daily moisturizer- my fav… Josie Maran daily withSPF 30.   I should also mention that all the running I’ve been doing has definitely reduced the amount of stress too, which we all know that stress takes a toll on our skin.

I know as spring comes and with summertime right behind, the fresh veggies and fruit are more readily available.  But sometimes my skin begs for a little extra lovin’.  So I treat my skin to a supplement from Borba.  My favorite is their Firming Skin Balance drink mix.   Its infused green tea extract, grape seed extract and 4 essential B vitamins, it’s so easy to add to a bottle of water and sip on throughout the day. 

As I’ve said before, I truly believe that beauty comes from within and there is nothing sexier than when a person’s inner matches their outer being.

Tell someone you appreciate them this weekend and see what happens!

Have a great weekend lovelies
