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. He founded the Pace University Environmental Li...

Green Goodness Superfood Smoothie

I wanted to share the post workout smoothie that I created after the wellness festival with you interested people.






Ingredients: click on any ingredient below to purchase : )

  • 2 cups of slightly thawed chopped mango (now you should have known this fruit was going to be in it) 😄😜
  • 1 cup of your choice of fresh greens (I used spinach)
  • 1 cup of vanilla oat milk (I used planet oat)
  • 1 tbsp of Moringa powder
  • 1 capful of Now brand colloidal minerals
  • 1 TBSP blue agave
  • Vitamix

I prefer fruit for smoothies to not be completely frozen before adding it to a mix. TBH, frozen fruit makes the texture of smoothies way too thick. If there was a continuum between thick and liquified for smoothies, I prefer it to be somewhere in the middle. Thaw your chopped mangos for about an hour before blending.

Once the fruit is thawed, combine all the ingredients into the Vitamix and blend for 40 seconds to 1 minute on medium.





Why moringa powder?: Moringa is a superfood and natural adaptogen which contains nine essential amino acids. This superfood aids against oxidative stress having a high amount of antioxidants. Scientific studies has found moringa to be effective in preventing cancer and treating inflammatory diseases such as ulcerative colitis and irritable bowel syndrome. The terpenoids in moringa can be a helpful agent in increasing insulin secretion.

Why colloidal minerals?: Colloidal minerals or ancient minerals are extracted from shale deposits formed from pre-historic plant decomposition. Also referred to as fulvic acid minerals, these minerals are hard to obtain through diet as they are primarily absent from soil. the ancient minerals in now's liquid colloidal minerals has a high absorption rate thus allowing for the most impactful nutrient distribution.

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...
