10 Tips for Self Improvement

Happy February Glow Girls! It's been one month since we made our New Years Resolutions but did we stick to them? No worries if you didn’t--you can start by implementing some of my favorite lifestyle hacks now. Read on for my top 10 tips to become a happier, healthier version of yourself. 

1. DIET DAYS: Try a new eating plan to help lose a few extra pounds. Eating clean will make you feel better and get stronger!  Whole 30 and the Akasha Center Food Cleanse are two of the safest and most effective diet plans. 

2. FIND YOUR STUDIO: Purchase a Class Pass to try different exercise programs to find the ones that fit your lifestyle. You can go to multiple studios for great prices and at the same time try different types of exercise classes. 

3. LOOK GOOD, FEEL GOOD: Motivate yourself to work out by sporting some new fashionable activewear. This helps me get in the right mindset to exercise and I also feel good wearing them straight to lunch. For the trendiest, most unique styles shop at Carbon38, Bandier and Sweat NSK. Get 15% off with discount code glow15 for all purchases from Sweat NSK.

4. TRACK IT: Invest in a fitness tracking bracelet like Fitbit or Apple Watch. You can track your steps, miles, and even how much and what kind of sleep you are getting. 

5. CLEANER BEAUTY: Use organic and clean beauty products that are safe and effective. Some favorites include my new Olie X Melissa Meyers RoseGlow drops, and the make-up and skin care lines by Beautycounter and SAPPHO.

6. GOOD ENERGY: Keep your home healthy, fragrant and toxic-free. I use my  Essential Oil Diffuser every day in my home office and love the lavender scent. Also try using this saging kit to clear out the negative energy from your space.  

7. LISTEN: Tune in to audio books and self-help podcasts. My favorite audio books include The 5 Second Rule, Spark Joy and Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up. For podcasts, I recommend Happier with Gretchen Rubin and The Marie Forleo Podcast.

8. MEDITATE: Download a meditation app to guide you through short, daily sessions of zen. Some favorites include Headspace, Calm and Unplug Meditation.

9. SUPPLEMENTS: Start incorporating dietary supplements to boost your overall  health. OLLY makes delish gummies that include Endless Energy, Flawless Complexion, Restful Sleep and Goodbye Stress.

10. SOAK IT UP: Treat yourself to a weekly bath ritual that includes lighting beautifully scented organic candles by Sanari. Try adding lavender bath salts by Suzi's Lavender and soothing bath oil by ESPA, two of my bath time favorites.

Keep glowing and enjoy reaching your happier, healthier self!

Introducing RoseGlow Drops that Nourish Your Skin

I am so excited to announce the launch of my first co-branded beauty product,
Olie X Melissa Meyers RoseGlow Drops Daily Radiance Face Oil.

My obsession with face oils started over six years ago when Olie Biologique sent me samples of their luxurious facial oils for editorial consideration. At that time, face oils were just starting to gain popularity. I have been using the Olie oils religiously over the years and decided to connect directly with the Founder Linda Thompson to see if she would be interested in a product collaboration. We met for a long brainstorming lunch in Beverly Hills, and the rest is history!

Linda and I were testing and mixing samples for months until we came up with the exact formulation and scent.  The RoseGlow drops contain an antioxidant-rich blend of organic fruit seed and plant botanicals including rosehip, sea buckthorn, pomegranate, raspberry, camellia, pumpkin and carrot seed oils, all of which promote radiance and texture. They enhance hydration, brighten the skin and reduce inflammation. The fragrance is subtle but quite intoxicating!

We were SOLD OUT that night! :)

Linda and I agreed that it was important to produce something we could both feel proud to distribute. We were sure to incorporate our shared value of purity and came up with the idea to develop a fruit and plant botanical "smoothie" for the face. We both cherished the ability to give back so with every bottle sold, five dollars will go towards Project Angel Food to provide a week’s worth of fresh produce to those battling serious illnesses. 

The natural ingredients of RoseGlow drops include an essential oil blend of of ylang-ylang, frankincense and palmarosa for a wonderful mood boost! The formula works for all skin types and is the perfect product for dry skin due to its incredible deep-moisturizing properties. This magnificent face oil is paraben-free with zero synthetics, toxins or chemical irritants.
