Can RFK Jr Make America Healthy Again?

Image
     Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been chosen by President Trump to oversee the Department of Health and Human Services. Robert Francis Kennedy Jr. or RFK Jr. as he’s affectionately nicknamed, hails from the very promininent and politically involved Kennedy family. He has a great legacy to uphold as the Kennedy family has so strongly and positively impacted the historical and political landscape of the United States. That family has experienced so much tragedy amongst its members but they’ve managed to overcome. The matriarch and patriarch of the Kennedy family, Joseph and Rose must be smiling down with joy about the impact that their entire lineage has made on society. RFK Jr. is an environmentalist that has been a leading figure in the mission to protect the planet and could be considered a Godfather of environmentalism due to all of his environmentally focused work and generous efforts to create change within the field.

Poosh Wellness Festival 2020

Poosh’s 1st Wellness Festival took place yesterday! This self-care retreat was an experience with 12 virtual sessions on topics such as DIY flower arrangement and skin care, detoxing your shower routine, and more. The virtual festival kicked off with a matcha opening ceremony and a quick interview between Kourtney Kardashian and her best friend Sarah. Kourtney elaborated on the reason she started Poosh:





“When I started Poosh, I really loved the most—the idea of sharing a lifestyle and of sharing information with people in a non judgmental, just really accessible way.”
Kourtney also said that she would receive questions about the foods she was eating or about her lifestyle and from there, the idea for Poosh developed. As for this wellness festival, she mentioned that she wanted to dedicate a day to bringing a live wellness experience to people.
Standout Sessions
I thought all of the sessions were informative. It was a nice peek into the natural health and wellness lifestyle for those who are newbies to it. There were a few standouts that I enjoyed most at POOSH Wellness Festival! They were:
1.) Glutes Workout and Post Workout Smoothie with Courtney King (Courtney had such amazing energy and put together a glutes workout that is sure to get results)! It was leg day on steroids! I put my own spin on the smoothie which I’ll share in another post : )

2.) Lymphatic Drainage Facial with Camila Perez with Adrienne as a lively subject (Camilla spilled her prized secrets to giving a spectacular lymphatic drainage facial. This is a wellness activity that can be useful for folks who take self-care seriously, especially considering the lack of access to wellness retreats and centers at the moment).

3.) DIY Body scrub with Nyakio Kamoche Grieko (The one key ingredient in Nyakio’s scrub was coffee but not just any ole coffee…East African Kenyan coffee which is said to have notes of citrus in the flavor.) Though I’m not a fan of caffeine, I will acknowledge that it has benefits for the skin. It was nice hearing Nyakio’s story about her grandparents who passed on body care recipes to her.

4.) Guided Meditation with Ryan Haddon (Ryan offered self affirmations that were empowering and soul-elevating).

5.) How to Take the Perfect Selfie with Malika Haqq and Roxy Rodriguez (For some, taking the perfect selfie can be a mood lifter (haha)! There was a phone featured in this session that wowed the techie in me. The phone was foldable and seems perfectly designed for taking selfies. Turns out, it is called, the Samsung Galaxy Z flip. That’s a really cool phone!

After the festival, participants were given a virtual gift bag with promos for products from sponsoring brands. My only gripe about the festival is that I thought the event was going to be live streamed. Sessions were pre-recorded. I can see this being a really amazing retreat-style in-person event once life normalizes again.
Well—that’s a wrap Ms. Kourtney and a good wrap at that--so klaps to you for following your primary purpose of pooshing people into health and wellness.
Would you like to experience Poosh’s Wellness Festival for yourself? The sessions will be up for viewing until Oct 31st! Purchase your all access ticket here: Get tickets

Fenty Hair Line Full Product Review

Image
When I received an email from Fenty Beauty that Rihanna was dropping a hair line, I was super stoked and ready. Like literally jumping up and down. That's how much I love the Fenty Beauty brand.  Listen, Fenty Beauty and Fenty Skin have GREAT products! When Fenty Beauty dropped several years ago, I can remember the advertising so well.  It offered and showcased a huge variety of foundation shades and proved itself to be an inclusive line with high performing, quality and clean products. Everybody--- and I mean everybody--- was talking about that drop!  It's literally set the blueprint for other cosmetic companies which have tried to copy and also carry more shades for darker skin tones.  Though I've used Fenty Beauty/Skin several times over the last several years, I'd say my current fave from Fenty Beauty is the lip balm. It's a luxurious lip balm with a unique shape that makes application so fun! I purchased that twice already and just lost the last one. Other repe...
