natural goals - 2014 edition: face & body

6/11/2014

0 Comments

 
Each year I like to make a list of my goals to moving toward more healthy, whole, organic living. I did a Natural Goals post in 2013 for home, food and body.  And this year, I am doing the same.  My beauty routine has gotten quite the overhaul and I've met some amazing beauty experts and make-up creators along the way. 

What I've Accomplished:
Full make-up overhaul. I adore my new makeup routine.  I got rid of SO many of my chemical products and it's so much simpler to find things.  I use all mineral, no chemical eye shadow, mascara, lip products, and blush.  I will be doing a product review on all soon!

Using all natural products. From my body scrub, to my natural tangerine vanilla soap, my organic plant-based shampoo and conditioner and my essential oil perfume, I try to keep as much artificial fragrance out of my routine as possible.  I also smell like a coco-nutty-hawaiian fruit. 

Yoga and meditation on the regular.  This has been so crucial in my over-all calm and well-being.  Being so susceptible to anxiety and worry through my not-so-great gut health and hormone imbalances, taking time to just pray, talk to God, do devotionals, do yoga, stretch and meditate on the Word has been so important for finding balance and handling stress on the daily better. 

My hair is SO much healthier.  So, I know last post I was very sad I was no longer a blonde. And, ok, some days I still struggle, and Mr. Charming and I find this to be a touchy subject because he knows how much I love being blonde, but I will say my hair hasn't been this long in a LONG time, and though it's still pretty thin, its definitely in a better state than its been in years. So I'll stay chest-nutty brown for a while longer. 

Detox.  I found out this year I have a genetic mutation that hinders my detox pathways.  I'm saving up to see another Dr. about this too, because, quite frankly, it sounds like something that totally sucks, but in the meantime I'm trying to do as much healthy stuff as I can.  I take coconut oil and kale in my smoothies everyday, I dry brush before shows and I try to work-out when I'm not exhausted.  This can def. be an area I improve.  But I am trying to make small steps to improve. 

What I Still Want To Do:
A Better Cardio Routine.  Since finding out about my MTHFR mutation, it explains why when I vigorously workout I get sick.  Which sucks.  I LOVE running and dancing, but I also need to respect my body.  I would like to get into a better habit of taking walks with Mr. Charming and my girlfriends, just to try to sweat a little, de-stress and get some cardio in. 

DETOX, DETOX, DETOX. Like I said above, I found out this year I have a genetic mutation that hinders my detox pathways. So I'm trying to find  more healthful ways to detox without my body getting sick in the process.  In addition to what I'm doing above. 

Toothpaste and Deodorant.  I'm awaiting my next Honest Co. shipment that includes toothpaste, and I'm still on the hunt for an aluminum-free deodorant that lasts all day. Or at least half a day. Or at least a half of a half of a day.

about

Nosh & Nurture was born of this journey I am on to better the health of myself, my family and those around me.  What started as a simple compilation of recipes has grown to a all-around lifestyle journal with ways to incorporate organic products into your home, pantry and beauty cabinet.  I also include stories on pregnancy, new motherhood, travel, Proverbs 31 marriage, and spiritual health, as I am a Christian who couldn't do any of this without my Lord & Savior Jesus Christ. For more of my story you can click here. 

All recipes are gluten-free and dairy-free with a lot of soy-free, grain-free, sugar-free options.
