We can’t expect the same routines to serve us all year long. How I adjust my routine for the shorter days of late fall 👇

It comes down to 3 things ➡️

As the days get shorter and the weather gets colder, here are some things I do to keep my energy up!

☀️ LIGHT

Direct morning sunlight signals the body that it’s time to wake up! On the other end of the spectrum, I power down electronics at night to minimize blue light exposure before bed.

🏋️‍♀️ MOVEMENT

If the weather isn’t ideal, it can take more commitment to exercise every day. Time to try out some indoor options, like yoga or weights.

🥣 FOOD

It only makes sense to shift our eating patterns toward warmer, cooked, and nourishing foods for late fall. Time to pull out that stew pot!

If you’ve never thought about adjusting your routine to the seasons, I encourage you to think about what feels good for your body as the weather changes and tune in to what it’s asking for.

Give me 30 seconds and I’ll show you a super sim

Give me 30 seconds and I’ll show you a super simple way to stop stress in its tracks as soon as you start to feel it!

It’s called 🖐️5-Finger Breathing, and it goes like this:

1️⃣ Hold one hand in front of you, palm facing up.

2️⃣ Use the index finger of your opposite hand to trace along the outline of your fingers.

3️⃣ As you trace up the outside of your thumb, take a deep breath in.

4️⃣ As you trace down the inside of your thumb, slowly breathe out.

5️⃣ Repeat this in-and-out breathing for each finger—inhale as you trace up, exhale as you trace down.

6️⃣ Continue until you’ve traced all five fingers and feel more calm and centered.

This works because deep and slow breathing activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which makes you feel calm and relaxed.

Plus you can do it anytime and anywhere.

Prevention is the best medicine, especially when it comes to stress. If you start to make a habit of noticing when you feel stressed and taking a moment to reset, you’ll train your body to be more resilient and navigate the holiday stress like a boss.

Let’s call it the ❄️ Dry Skin Survival Kit!

Let’s call it the ❄️ Dry Skin Survival Kit!

If your skin is drier because of colder temps and indoor heating, think about adding some of these to your routine:

🪮Dry Skin Brush

This is a natural bristle brush you can use before showering to gently exfoliate, slough off dead skin cells, and stimulate lymphatic flow.

🧽 Loofah

Using a loofah with soap and water in the shower is another way to gently exfoliate the skin. Careful not to overdo it because too much exfoliation can irritate the skin.

💧Humidifier

This can help with dry bedroom air.

🧴 Body Moisturizer

Look for a moisturizer that is free from parabens and fragrances.

🫧 Face Oil

Oils are what naturally moisturize our skin.

💋Lip Balm

Try a natural lip balm made with beeswax, shea butter, or coconut butter.

🥤Water Bottle

Staying hydrated is just as important for the skin in the winter as it is in the summer!

One last thing:

Eating nourishing foods with healthy fats and antioxidants can also help to keep your skin more naturally moisturized and protected from the elements.

This is not an overnight quick fix, but nutrition

This is not an overnight quick fix, but nutrition can have a huge impact on how your skin ages!

First the must-have foundations:

✔️ Water (to hydrate the skin)

✔️ Protein (as a building block for collagen & elastin)

✔️ Fruits & Veg (for antioxidants to block free radical damage)

✔️ Healthy Fats (to keep inflammation in check)

Then the targeted nutrient supplements:

✔️ Collagen (supports skin firmness and elasticity)

✔️ Antioxidants like curcumin, pomegranate, and green tea (support antioxidant defenses)

✔️ Omega-3s (support healthy inflammation & defenses against sun damage)

Here’s the thing:

If you jump to the supplements without first having the foundations of a skin-healthy diet in place, you won’t get the results you deserve.
