It's Friday

Today is the first post for the series, "It's Friday". Below are some great links (workout included) if you need fill in some of your free time today. Enjoy!

1. Dr. Brite, my favorite natural/organic oral care company (also founded by women 👏🏼), gives us a deeper look into carrageenan, a "natural" ingredient to be on the lookout for.

"Derived from red algae or seaweeds, carrageenan is processed through an alkaline procedure and used as a “natural” food-grade ingredient. When processed with acid instead of alkali, carrageenan is reduced to a low molecular weight, and is called degraded carrageenan or poligeenan."

I heard about carrageenan prior to coming across their blog post but still wasn't sure exactly what it was and definitely wasn't comfortable explaining it, until now of course! See here.

2. I don't know why I'm just now hearing about Simone De La Rue, owner of Body by Simone, but I instantly fell in love with who she is and the movement she's made. What really attracted me is that she's built an empire and has a blast doing it!

I did this workout at the beginning of the week and, although TOUGH, it made me strangely addicted 😫. Or maybe it's just because I'm tired of my monotonous routines ... anyway, here's the dance cardio workout I was referring to. Break that sweat, girl!

Please let me know if you try it, what you thought and, most importantly, how you felt!

3. You may or may not have heard of microblading, (here is a great break down) but it's definitely becoming more mainstream. Refinery29 gives you a close-up of the whole process. I must admit, I had to fast-forward a few parts ... it's not for the weak! See here.

4. I swear you're going to smile through this whole list 🤗. "Here's what 14 of your favorite foods look like before they're harvested".

5. Since we're still trying to spring clean our homes, (well, I am) here's Crane & Canopy's break down on how to feng shui your bedroom. Let's get that good energy flowing!

Guys! I hope you enjoyed some down time. Again, comment or email me and let me know what you thought of these links and whether or not you tried the workout by Simone!

I hope you all have a great weekend. Talk to you, soon! ✨
