TAN + TONED WHEEL

Gone are the days of basking in the sun and not having a care in the world if you got a little burnt. Thanks to clean and healthy self-tanners we can literally look as if we spent a week in the south of France or Tahiti and even gives your legs an overall toned look but staying toned is always best accomplished with diet and regular exercise. Above are self-tanners that I have found to be active, and won’t leave your skin orange or with that unpleasant smell. Pictured above in Santorini Greece last summer and after three weeks of sun-kissed travel, I applied both the Coola Spray and the Best Bronzed Tanning Mousse. What I like about self-tanners- when you return from your dream vacation you can continue that golden glow that reminds you of your personal fun in the sun…and you saved your skin, especially if you love that sunshine as much as I do.

LIFE WITH A DAILY RITUAL - MULTIVITAMIN FOR WOMEN 50+

I’m a morning ritual gal from head to toe. Always have been. I thrive on the feeling of ceremony and structure that a consistent routine brings to the start of my day. That’s why I’m excited to share a new kind of ritual that I added to my rise-and-shine habits four months ago. I started taking Ritual’s Essential for Women multivitamin specifically made for women 50+.  Oh Yeah!! Love that this female-founded brand targets us cool 50-year-olds! If you are looking to simplify your supplement intake and help fill nutrient gaps in your diet with a vegan-friendly multi-vitamin, read on to learn what makes this brand a stand-out to me!*

I love that Ritual Essential was founded by a woman, for women, and best of all, for all you intermittent fasters, like myself, it’s formulated to be gentle on an empty stomach. The smaller size, delayed-release capsules don’t have that typical multivitamin smell as soon as you open the jar, and no bad taste if the capsule sits on your tongue a second too long…. In fact, it tastes and smells like mint!

Ritual Essential for Women 50+ has earned a place in my morning ritual. I always start my day with meditation and prayer followed by a cup of hot water with lemon. After that, I make sure my two-legged son is set to start his quarantine remote learning, and then it’s off to walk my four-legged son! When I get back home, I take my Ritual supplement before putting on my face-covering and heading out the door again for a solo run.

There’s lots of great info for your inner science nerd available on their website as far as what sets this brand apart from others, but I love that among the nine key nutrients, there are a number of them, such as vitamin D3, magnesium, boron, and K2, that promote supporting bone health.*

Another thing that really sold me on this brand…I am a big fan of transparency! Ritual is transparent on a new level. From the capsules themselves (I love how you can actually see inside!) to the sourcing of their nutrients, transparency is what their brand was founded on. And, if you’re an advocate for sustainable packaging like I am, you’ll be happy to know that their mailers are made from recovered newsprint and plant fiber, and their bottles are made from 100% recycled content. Gotta love a brand that’s good for us and good for the planet! 

Just Good-Looking Science

Living a balanced lifestyle and aging smart are my number one priorities, which is why I choose to incorporate certain rituals into my day to keep me grounded and focused. Ritual Essential for Women 50+ fits right in with my morning routine. With all of us currently spending more time at home, now is the perfect time to start a morning ritual of your own. From being clean and super easy to digest to being scientist and nutritionist-formulated, this supplement checks all my boxes, and they have a supplement for unique stages of life. Do your homework, visit their website, and see for yourself why you should consider making Ritual vitamins part of your daily ritual.

WELLNESS SAVERS - FROM THE INSIDE OUT

I wanted to share a few wellness favorites that remain tried and true on my “wheel of fortune” rotation. I’m pretty convinced these products, along with a few other favorites, have saved my skin. I will continue to share other active products in my next wellness wheel. All of the products you see above I have used consistently for more than four months and some for a year. So while you’re at home and wondering what you need to add to your wellness wheel, you may want to check out these personal winners.

Olie x Melissa Meyers - Golden Ray Glow I've been a fan of this face oil from Olie and Melissa Meyers from the beginning. French marine algae is the winning ingredient for collagen-boosting and locking in hydration. Olie is having a Mother’s Day Flash Sale: 25% Off + Free Makeup Bag

Collective Laboratories On the scalp, on the eyebrows - I’ve been using this hair serum for almost a year, and this is plant science at it’s best. Created by nature, activated by science, this hair serum gets right to the root of it all. Use Code GRATEFUL50 for 50% off.

Winged Wellness Balance CBD Oil Since meeting founder Jess Mulligan of Winged Wellness, I’m finally wrapping my head around the power of CBD when it comes to health and wellness—formulated for women focusing on stress, sleep, mood, and overall balance. This balancing oil has been incredible for my overall feeling good from head to toe. Use Code JANET20

Soma Ayurvedic This Vitamin C serum is a blend of herbs and natural Vitamin C for deep hydration. The fragrance is above and beyond beautiful. It’s plant-based and loaded with moisture. Use Code JANET20 for 20% off.

Hush & Hush Since October 2019, I’ve had a fabulous night’s sleep and a crush on this supplement and the founders! For me, Mind Your Mind has been a welcomed supplement for the wind-down I needed to drift off and let the body repair. Let’s face it; sleep is #1. Use Code JANET for 20% off.

Switch2Pure Oh wow…. this Be Glowy Hyaluronic Spray Serum works terrific! This spray is a powerful serum, toner and yes, organic with hemp oil, extract, and sodium hyaluronate for plumping, and not overtime - you’ll see it in 10 minutes- After you spray this on you’ll see. All cruelty-free and so worth trying! Careful It’s addicting! Use Code PURISTSJANET15 for 15% off.

What I love about all the above, these are founders who are passionate as hell and work to give us their absolute best.

Thank you, stay healthy and well,

Xx, Janet
