Perfect Summer Glow

This summer I'm committing myself to getting healthy (again). After a health scare last summer and learning more about my family history, being introduced to Aloha and their healthy recipes, it's critical for me to get my health in check. For me, that mostly includes clean eating and exercise... aka getting that summer glow :) Clear, healthy skin!! One of the most noticeable things I found was the inflammation that sugar and process foods cause. Cutting those foods from my "diet" has made a huge difference in my skin, ! I'm not a doctor by any means, but these are just a few ideas that I love and have worked for me! 


Beauty:

Food: 
  • Infused water- by far my favorite in the summer! Lemon + cucumber is my daily go-to! Drinking half your body weight in water makes a HUGE difference! I know it sounds like a crazy amount, but let me tell you, you'll notice how clear and fresh your skin is!
  •  A few favorite super foods: salmon, sweet potatoes, asparagus, avocado
  • Green drinks: I need to brace myself for this one, but I'm committed to trying one this summer...any ideas?!
  • Recipes I'm eager to try: Chocolate Quinoa Pancakes, Pink Berry Acai Bowl, Spinach SaladCheck out my pinterest boards for more clean eating recipes! 
  • Sidenote: From personal experience and articles I've read up on, I learned the cleaner the gut (stomach), the clearer the skin. Food plays a HUGE role in our skin- so let's take initiative and put superfoods in to our body! Don't we all want that summer glow!? We need these nutrients and our bodies will thank us later!

Exercise:
  • T25
  • Pure Barre

What do you do to achieve your perfect summer glow? 

Linking up with Annie and Natalie today!

  1. Good for you girl! Make my morning smoothies with a handful of spinach, 3-4 oz of Evolution green juice & almond milk. That mixed with fruit and some vanilla protein powder is delicious! You should try it to start :)

  2. Definitely just followed you on Pinterest for clean eating advice/ recipes... And pretty much every single other board you have! I became obsessed with Pure Barre this past month, with a very strong love-hate relationship! Sadly, since I'll be gone for over a week this month (yay honeymoon!), I just couldn't justify buying another month.
