What?! No review today? Lol, things have been hectic lately so I'm barely able to write my 3 reviews a week. And sadly, I wasn't able to keep up so there's no review for you today. But I hate to miss a day (not that I keep an editorial calendar, like I was told a good blogger should), so here's just a short post to let you guys know a little bit more about me.
Hometown: Honolulu, HI
Past life: I have a Masters in Public Health, specifically in the field of Epidemiology (which is the study of the spread of diseases). So when I say I believe in science, I am a 100% devotee of the field, though I know science isn't the end all and be all. And I still believe in spirituality and intangibles that can't be measured (12 years of going to an Episcopalian school, with chapel once a week, instilled my respect for religion).
Favorite personal development books: I still love Daring Greatly and 10% Happier and plan to reread these soon.
My uniform this season: Grana and Everlane tees and rag & bone jean cutoff shorts
My daily wellness habit: I take a probiotic every morning. Ever since a particularly nasty food poisoning episode (where I spent all day at the ER and had to get IV fluids and antibiotics) my gut health hasn't quite been the same. But I find I'm less susceptible to minor cases of food poisoning and I generally feel healthier when I take care of my gut. Currently I'm trying out LoveBug probiotics and they're working great!
Current workout: I've just started doing yoga again after a year hiatus (my favorite is Vinyasa or flow yoga), and it's been the perfect workout to get some meditation time in as well as really use my muscles. I feel like even my posture has been slowly getting better because I'm working all the muscles in my back now.
Always in my bag: This Deborah Lippmann Rich Girl Hand Cream is a necessity. Since my job requires me to be in the sun a lot or driving, this hand cream with spf 25 helps protect my hands and arms from sun spots and wrinkles. Plus it's a twist to open the top so I can apply it with one hand while driving. And it smells lovely (like lavender), not like sunscreen at all.
Ok I guess that's it for now! I'll be back with my regular reviews on Monday again :)
