This is 42- Aging is inevitable. But here are some ways that I prevent premature aging for my skin.
1. Teach the body to produce collagen.
Drink a warm mug of bone broth ( we make ours and can it)
Get your omega rich foods in.
Some other favorites are beans ( we can ours)
Cashews
Sencha Green tea ( for those who can have caffeine)
Raw cocoa or fermented
Sweet potatoes
Flax seeds ( I mix them in salads and grind them in with my homemade nut butter.
2. Take Collagen creamed in with your morning drink.
I make a Swiss water process decaf ( we carry a great family brand)

I mix- collagen, ghee, raw steamed cream, fermented cocoa in mine.
Speaking of ghee:
It’s a great carrier for enhancing the absorption of whatever you mix it with. I mix it with my powdered herbs for better digestion.
It is also a rich source of nutrients like calcium, healthy fats, omega-3 fatty acids, and Vitamins A, D, E, and K.
3. Botanical rich skincare ( y’all know I have my own clean line we ship all over and in our studio)
My favorite is the vitamin serum and orange blossom day and night recovery cream.

4. I do facial massage to myself to stimulate blood flow every morning and night. It works!
5. Once every 6 months juice celery and drink it every morning for a week.
Celery contains Vitamin C, which can help boost collagen production in the skin.
Detoxifies the skin, brightened the skin, reduces eye puffiness, improves elasticity, helps acne.
6. Cold plunges - I did 6 weeks of cold lake showers on purpose to help reset my nervous system.
Skin:
Improves circulation
Eases swelling and inflammation
Stimulates skin regeneration by helping remove dead skin cells
While increasing blood flow, cold water reacts with your central nervous system in some remarkable ways. When you enter cold water, your brain begins to produce norepinephrine, a hormone that helps regulate attention, vigilance, and focus.
There are so many more benefits!
7. Get up early
I rise around 5-5:30 am and go to bed early. Why?
It’s proven to increase mental health.
Your skin cells are regenerated while you sleep, fixing the UV damage and increasing the collagen and blood flow. Going to bed early and walking up early is proven to give more restorative sleep.
Early risers are more productive and motivated.
It reduces stress and limits grogginess.
You will have alone time to start your day right.
Just to name a few…
Well these are my top tips of the week!
Is anyone doing any of these currently?

Dynamic-dancing Forged-Copper pendant!!!

Set your eyes on this Hand-forged copper pendant on a sterling silver chain!
This stunning piece features a flush-set .04ct round brilliant diamond. Included, is an 18” sterling silver chain with strong lobster clasp.
The twinkling diamond dances amongst the stippled copper, as heat-treated hues stand in regal contrast.

Copper benefits:
1. Relieving stiff joints and joint pain from arthritis

Copper jewelry is helpful in reducing the symptoms of arthritis. You can easily get bracelets and other jewelry used to cure the condition. When wearing a bracelet, tiny amounts of copper rub off and on to the skin where it is absorbed and can help to rebuild cartilage and ease inflammation. While some believe this is simply a placebo effect, research is ongoing.

2. Helpful in wound healing

Copper is one crucial mineral that plays a vital role in the healing process, to make sure wounds heal better and faster. It is a cofactor in the enzymatic reactions that cause endothelial growth, an important factor in the healing of tissue. Wearing copper jewelry supports the circulatory system and the immune system, helping the body to move white blood cells to the site of infections and promote healing.

3. Essential in the production of collagen

This essential nutrient plays a considerable role in collagen synthesis, as well as myelin, hemoglobin, and melanin synthesis. Copper also protects the myelin sheath that surrounds the nerves, and is actively involved in the elastin production processes. Elastin is the connective tissue element that maintains the flexibility of the skin. Many people who wear copper jewelry report that their skin feels firmer, tighter and more youthful.

4. Proper growth of various body tissue and organs

Copper is important for healthy and normal growth of the human body. It is quite helpful in the protection of the nervous, cardiovascular, and skeletal tissue and organs. Copper deficiencies have been associated with growth defects in children. Investing in a copper anklet for your child is a safe way to increase the levels of copper within the body and potentially provide the valuable growth benefits associated with this essential element.

5. Boosting the immune system

The mineral is a great immunity builder, which assists in the absorption of iron and in turn helps prevent anemia. This will also allow the body to defend itself much better, and heal itself faster. Wearing a copper ring, bracelet or necklace helps your body to fight off free radicals and remain healthy even during troublesome cold and flu seasons.

6. Helpful in energy production

Copper helps in the synthesis of the energy storehouse of our bodies – adenosine triphosphate. Adequate copper supply in our bodies will ensure that we have enough fully accessible and functional energy, to let us get through the day without feeling tired or lethargic. Simply wearing a copper bracelet or anklet can boost energy levels without the need to consume caffeine or other stimulants.
Copper also prevents premature aging and pigmentation of eyes and hair. It stimulates the brain and reduces cholesterol levels in the body. Investing in a collection of copper jewelry can help you to enjoy all these benefits while looking stylish and sophisticated for any occasion.

For 5 years I’ve been trying to eliminate all of the toxins out of our wardrobe, bedding and home.
In the past 6 months I have done it!
I got rid of EVERYTHING that was synthetic for all 5 of us.

Did you know?

Linen has a frequency of 5,000.
Wool has a frequency of 5,000.

According to this study, the human body has a signature frequency of 100, and organic cotton is the same – 100. The study showed that if the number is lower than 100, it puts a strain on the body. A diseased, nearly dead person has a frequency of about 15, and that is where polyester, rayon, and silk register.”
