Easy Steps For Always Looking and Feeling Your Best

Who doesn’t want to always look and feel their best? If you feel like that, then you’ll have a “the world is my oyster” mindset. It’s a way of being that allows you to really take advantage of all that life has to offer, in large part because if we look and feel great, then we’ll be more confident when we go out into the world. And with confidence by our side, there’s no telling what we might just achieve.

And the good news is that how to hit your peak physical and mental well being is not a complete mystery. There are things you can do that’ll push you very much in the right direction. We’ll take a look at some of the most effective steps to take below.

What Are You Putting In Your Body?

You’ll get out what you put in. If you’re just putting junk into your body, then it’ll be no surprise if you don’t look or feel as good as you could do! Of course, it can be tempting to eat fast food, drink a beer, and so forth, but it’s important to remember that you’ll naturally run into issues if those things become a large part of your life. So take a look at your diet. Does it help you or hold you back?

Exercise and Stretching

Look after your body, and your body will look after you. While it can, admittedly, be difficult to get started with an exercise regime, it’s recommended that you do so. If you commit to it for a month, you’ll see a whole host of benefits come your way. For one thing, you’ll look better. Plus, you’ll likely notice a boost in your mental health, too. As well as putting your body through its paces at the gym, it’s also recommended that you make stretching an everyday part of your routine. It feels good to be loose!

Skin and Hair

It’s not just the shape of your body that influences how you look. Some things, such as your skin and hair, also have big roles to play. So take a look at making these parts as good as they can be. There are multiple things you can do. For your skin, you can look at facial fillers, cold showers, and sun protection. Maintaining your health is important- feeling good will make you look good! If you’ve been suffering from any skin afflictions such as acne or psoriasis, it might be worth looking into some remedies that could transform the way you feel about yourself. If you’ve got any suspicions about your skin’s health, getting them looked at sooner rather than later will help you out in the long run. Treatments such as psoriasis injections can provide a simple solution to issues you might have been carrying for a long time.

For your hair, it’s about understanding the types of products that your specific type of hair needs and visiting a hair professional who knows what they’re doing.

Meditation and Nature 

Finally, look at focusing on your mental health. If you’re happy, then you’ll, of course, enjoy life more, and you’ll also look better. Who doesn’t like seeing someone with positive energy? There are plenty of things you can do to nudge your mental health in the right direction, but two of the most straightforward options include meditating and spending time in nature. Both of these things have been shown to help calm the mind and give a happiness boost — and they’re both easy enough to do!

Can their twin bond withstand the ultimate test?

by Lisa Gal

This uplifting and highly acclaimed debut “new adult” novel from attorney-turned-author Karen Roberts Turner follows twin sisters, Ebony and Essence, as they experience the joys and pitfalls of college life and face the reality that a twin isn’t always a friend. As their “twinship” is tested, the ultimate question is whether it will survive. The Other Twin is written about young African-American college students, but their experiences are relevant and relatable to readers of any age, gender, or ethnicity. This enrapturing and insightful coming-of-age story has been well-received and has garnered 5-star reviews from readers of all ages. While writing The Other Twin, author Karen Roberts Turner created a special journal for Ebony, one of the twins, not only to share her hopes and dreams but her disappointments and heartaches as well. By popular demand, she has now created an online version of Ebony’s Fresh Start Journal so readers also have a safe and personal space to release those emotions and can give themselves “a fresh start.”

We are excited to include The Other Twin in our Hollywood Swag Bags being direct gifted to the nominees honoring Oscar weekend.
