Morning Must-Have: Celery Juice

As you guys know from Instagram stories, I am totally into my morning celery juice routine! In all seriousness though, celery juice is a morning must-have for me. With so many health benefits, drinking celery juice first thing on an empty stomach has proven itself to be great for gut health by improving digestion and immensely limiting bloating and indigestion. I've been on a gut-healing journey with the wisdom and guidance of Dr. Cole, and the addition of celery juice in my daily diet has been a game-changer!After six months of diligently enacting my gut healing protocol, I was still experiencing daily bloating and started experiencing constipation. Feeling hopeless, he prescribed me to do this every morning an hour before I ate food, and my bloating stopped within two days and I haven’t been bloated since + my energy has improved significantly!I use a whole stalk of celery and juice it using my juicer. So simple, and I swear by it! Also, this article is a must-read if you are intrigued by this celery juice situation. It is extremely informational and confirms a lot of what I describe in this post. Have you guys tried celery juice yet? Let me know in the comments below and keep sharing your celery juice adventures on Instagram!

Osmosis Skincare: Clean Beauty for Scars

After my accident in 2011, it has been an ongoing process to heal the scar on my face. Fraxel lasers and filler specifically on my scar both made a significant difference, but as time goes on, and as I get more protected sun exposure (hello LA sunshine and beach obsession!), it still needs some lovin’.If you follow my social media and my blog, you know how I am a user of only toxin-free products, especially clean beauty products! Enter Osmosis. I was getting the most lovely facial by Camille Fields, and she suggested these specific products for further scar healing.I couldn’t wait to start this regimen! First, I put on the Catalyst AC-11 Level 3 DNA Repair Serum. Then I spray on the Clear Plus+ Activating Mist, and I finalize it with Rescue Epidermal Repair Serum After a week, I have noticed a significant difference in not only my scar but also my skin. It has been glowing and looks extra plump, smooth, and healthy.Osmosis products create permanent change by using clinical ingredients with a holistic, non inflammatory approach + they are completely free of toxic chemicals, SLS, phthalates, parabens, gluten, artificial colors and fragrances.Their philosophy is based on analyzing the skin and body as a whole to treat skin conditions at their source, restoring beauty and wellness.All of this to say, I couldn’t recommend this brand more to improve aging, diminish scars, and and feed the health of your skin!

I always throw on this robe, too, post-shower and pre-makeup. Keep scrolling for the products that I use on makeup days! I am definitely a fan of going makeup-free some days, too. Gotta let that skin breathe :)For the eyes: ere perez brow gel, antonym cosmetics brow pencil, w3ll people mascara, and ilia shadow stickFor the face: w3ll people tinted moisturizer, rms uncover-up, vapour foundation, rms bronzer, and kosas blush/highlight duoI am so passionate about clean makeup as you know...putting pure ingredients on my face gives me such peace of mind throughout the day.

I also like the natural look, so keeping the products minimal and the ingredients pure helps with that.What about you guys?

Wellness Notes | Part 2

Hey guys! As you know, I am so passionate about all things health and wellness and a BIG part of that is our diets. Feeling our best has a lot to do with what we feed and fuel our bodies with, so I am very particular about what I eat and drink!

---

See below for a few notes about my personal eating habits. Also, we are excited to say that more recipes will be coming to LSK + to your inbox soon as we start exclusive content for email subscribers...coming soon! For now, check out this wellness notes post- part 1!

---

I make a smoothie every morning filled with avocado, herbs, collagen, MCT oil, clean almond milk, and blueberries. It is so delicious! Before that though, I make fresh celery juice, per Dr. Cole's recommendation for gut health.

Details on both to come soon!

---

My diet is filled with Kombucha for gut health and extra energy during the day. I love to snack on seasnax, Dang coconut chips (the sea salt ones), tiger nuts, and the lime Siete chips.

---

When I am eating out, I lean towards wild fish cooked in healthy fats, grass fed and finished meat, and I avoid dairy, grains, sugar and gluten. Sometimes, I enjoy my cheat meal though with a glass of wine!

My Favorite Curling Iron

You guys! I am so excited about this post because finding hair tools that you love, work well, and last is a big deal. When HAI offered to send us their new curling iron to try, I was so excited, but was even more excited when I tried it and realized that it was SO. GOOD. Hands down, this is now my favorite curling iron. It heats up so fast, you can change the heat settings, and it works in no time. You barely have to keep the hair on before you have a perfect curl.HAI's curling iron makes it extra easy to do my hair on the daily since it’s so easy and quick to use. I never have to fret about how long it will take or how my hair will turn out- the results are consistently great every single time! Such a big win for daily hair styling. PLUS, do you see that price? Under $60, so a very good deal! If you know anyone else that is need of a new curling iron, send this link! They won't be disappointed :)
