5 Steps to Sun-Kissed Skin Without the Sun

The weather has been incredible lately and I yearn to be outside enjoying nature’s beauty and tranquility. In my younger years, my motivation to be outside was to achieve tanned sun-kissed skin. While I can’t help but still love having that bronzed glow, we all know the UV radiation can wreak havoc on our skin. As a supporter of good skin care, I found ways to still achieve that summer tan while protecting our skin from the dangers of UV radiation. I put together a quick TikTok video on 5 steps to sun-kissed skin without the sun.

Wellness: 5 Antioxidants to Eat for Glowing Skin

Antioxidants protect against harmful oxidants and may decrease odds of developing illnesses. Let's talk about 5 antioxidants to eat for glowing skin.

One thing I really try to focus on as a Physician Assistant is how everyday decisions can impact our health and environment down the road. With the current pandemic, we cannot stress the importance of self-care and wellness to keep our body strong and healthy.

The foods we consume are what supplies and nourishes our body with fuel and beneficial ingredients. When it comes to the biggest organ in our body, our skin, those daily dietary choices can be reflected in the outward appearance and health of our skin. Eating foods loaded with antioxidants provides a protective layer against harmful oxidants from the sun and pollution, and may even lessen our odds of developing skin cancer and illnesses. Let’s get into these rich molecules and talk about 5 antioxidants to eat for glowing skin. And while we are focusing on our skin, these are overall great foods that promote good health.

Happy Easter | Exciting Update!

Happy Easter dress | exciting update | bridal dress | engagement dress

Hello friends and happy Easter! I hope everyone is doing well despite our current circumstances. With all the current chaos in the world, I am trying find peace by focusing on the positives. I work full time as an ER Physician Assistant and have been taking care of lower risk COVID-19 patients, and my heart is full of love from community support! Each day I am greeted by hand-crafted notes of encouragement from local children – their love and creativity has been a fantastic way to start the day! These notes and pictures are taped up on the walls in the Physician/Physician Assistant workspace and have become our cheerleaders throughout this time, keeping us motivated and positive through each shift.

And on a personal note, I have a very exciting update to share…!!
