Rejuvenate Your Skin: Some of My At-Home Techniques


Hello, my friend!

Have you ever noticed how your skin seems to glow after a really good treatment? A big part of that radiance is thanks to lymphatic drainage—a gentle yet powerful way to reduce puffiness, increase circulation, and bring out your skin's natural beauty. And the best part? You can do it yourself, right at home.

Rejuvenate your skin: easy at-home lymphatic drainage techniques

In this week's blog, I break down easy, effective lymphatic drainage techniques that fit right into your skincare routine. Think of it as a mini spa treatment you can give yourself, helping your face de-puff and reveal a fresh glow, all while supporting your body's natural detox pathways. It’s all about the gentle touch—working with your body to support its natural rhythms.

One of the simplest ways to get started is through self-massage. Using light, sweeping motions with your fingers, you can encourage lymphatic flow along your jawline, cheeks, and forehead. This helps to reduce puffiness and brings a healthy, rejuvenated look to your skin. And if you're curious about other effective techniques—like using a gua sha tool or incorporating breathing exercises—they're all covered in the blog post.

These simple techniques are especially lovely as the weather gets cooler, and we’re looking to keep our skin hydrated and vibrant. By incorporating a few minutes of mindful touch, you can boost circulation, enhance the effects of your favorite serums, and give yourself a moment of rejuvenation that goes deeper than just skin.

Your body—and your skin—will thank you.

Simple exercise to unlock your energy and shift stuck emotions

Have you ever felt like your energy was just... stuck? It’s a feeling many of us know well, often showing up as anxiety, low mood, or a heavy sense of stagnation. The good news is, one of the best ways to move through that stuckness is already at our fingertips: movement itself.

In this week’s blog, I explore how exercise can do so much more than just improve your physical health. It can unblock stuck energy, lift your spirits, and even help ease symptoms of anxiety and depression. Gentle movement like walking or yoga can help release tension, while more invigorating activities—like dancing or a good cardio session—can create a powerful shift in mood and energy levels.

It doesn’t have to be complicated or intense. Even a few minutes of conscious movement can bring a sense of freedom and vitality. Imagine giving yourself permission to move in a way that feels joyful, without any expectations. This kind of exercise isn’t about pushing yourself harder; it’s about listening to your body and letting it guide you to what feels good.

To dive deeper into how exercise can support your emotional health and unblock stuck energy, check out the full blog post here: Exercise for Anxiety and Depression.

Keep moving, keep thriving.


What I'm listening to

How to heal your past, interview with Dr Bessel van der Kolk

I wanted to share something that really moved me this week. I’ve been listening to an insightful podcast episode featuring Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, the author of the iconic book The Body Keeps the Score. Dr. van der Kolk has dedicated much of his career to understanding trauma—how it impacts us physically and mentally, and most importantly, how we can heal from it.

In this episode, he talks about the difference between trauma and stress, and how trauma leaves an imprint on our bodies that can influence our health in surprising ways. Despite the difficult subject matter, the conversation is filled with hope. Dr. van der Kolk passionately believes in the human capacity to heal, change, and move forward, and he shares some of the methods that can help us do just that—from body-oriented therapies like yoga and acupuncture to emerging research in psychedelic-assisted therapy.

One thing that really resonated with me was the importance of human connection in the healing process. Whether it's through supportive communities or the relationships we nurture every day, we all have the power to help each other build resilience.

If you’re interested in learning more about how to address and heal from past trauma, I highly recommend giving this episode a listen. It’s a powerful reminder of our innate resilience and the many paths available to help us heal.
