Your skin can take a real beating from air conditioning, heaters, dry air, blistering winds and humidity. Cue: flaky skin, new lines, dullness, breakouts, or even yelps of pain! Sound familiar?

Have you ever taken a moment to consider that plastic has become one of the most harmful materials to our environment?

You might not really be bothered by this fact but in the grand scheme of things, it creates both short term and long term effects, and will no doubt have hideous effects on future generations to come if we don’t step up and do something about it.

Let’s talk endocrine disruptors. Heh? They are synthetic chemicals that - at certain doses - can interfere and mimic your body’s natural hormones (like estrogens, androgens and thyroid hormones). This can potentially lead to overstimulation of your hormones, which can disrupt your body’s natural systems, leading to negative health outcomes.

Don’t you just love the start of a new year? It’s an opportunity to put behind you any blunders from previous months and look ahead with eager anticipation and a willingness to live healthier, be fitter, smile bigger and laugh more. 

Time to slow down, stand back and take stock. Look beyond what you see in the mirror. Instead look at the words of other great people — whether it’s successful men and women that have lived before you or those that are still alive, continuing to push forward despite their failures.

Happiness is the best thing in the world. It’s a feeling that’s instantly transforming, empowering and uplifting. It’s a feeling that inspires the deepest belly laughs and the brightest of smiles but as much as we wish it was, it is not always permanent.
