Today’s goals: Coffee and kindness
People often say beauty is on the inside; this is true; how we feel about ourselves often expresses itself outwards. Looking and feeling beautiful is often a result of adopting healthier habits and lifestyle choices.
I‘ve selected products I’ve tried and tested that offer benefits both physically and psychologically. A beauty regime often requires maintenance; however, a good beauty regime should be affordable and practicable.
Hydrate one hour before bedtime with coconut water.
Coconut water is an organic product rich in nutrients and vitamins. containing nutrients like B vitamins Riboflavin (B2), Niacin (B3), pantothenic acid, folic acid, biotin as well as trace amounts of thiamin (B1), Vitamin C, potassium, and sodium. It also contains some simple carbohydrates (sugars) and amino acids. it is known to reduce fine lines, increase skin hydration and elasticity, increase collagen production, and gives skin a visible “glow” Since coconut water contains vitamin C, it also increases cell turnover. Keeping the body hydrated while sleeping allows it to rid itself of toxins.

Possible side effects
Coconut water contains potassium, consuming too much can increase potassium levels in the blood to become too high leading to kidney problems and irregular heartbeat. Having too much potassium in your blood can be dangerous. Potassium affects the way your heart’s muscles work.
While I enjoy sharing tips about beauty, health safety is always my first concern. Coconut water also contains sugar so it might not be ideal if you’re looking to lower your sugar intake however it’s low in carbs and still a healthy choice. However, drinking one glass is unlikely to do harm. While there are various studies that suggest normal tap water is just as effective studies show benefits in both.

I saved the best for last !!!!! This is one of my all-time favorite products. The Clarins water lip works as a barely-there feel that works for lips and cheeks. Apply a little bit at night on your lips and cheeks before bed and wake up with a natural-looking rosy glow. It’s none transferable, so it shouldn’t stain your clothes or bed sheets. However, products can react differently on different skin types so I won’t claim this to be 100% accurate however it has not stained any of my sheets so far.
