What is your morning beauty routine? <\/strong><\/p>\n Having a 2 year old shapes how my mornings look these days. On an ideal day, I would have time to do a breath meditation and pilates, but often my mornings are a marathon and a juggle between getting my daughter ready and fed, and getting myself ready for the day. A hot latte with oat milk first thing is a necessity, as is filtered water, and a probiotic.<\/p>\n My beauty routine takes about 5-15 minutes, depending on whether I need to shower that morning or have already showered the night before. I use shampoo and conditioner by Sisters<\/a>, which is completely non-toxic. I love that they donate 40% of their profits to organizations that support women\u2019s health. I only use non-toxic, clean products \u2013 in both my home and on my face and body. A few years ago that was harder to do, but fortunately there are more and more clean products that are just as effective as their non-toxic alternatives. I became very in tune with the harm of using conventional products while pregnant, which is such a sensitive time for women. The more research I did, the more it became hard to ignore the negative impact products can have on our health, and the link between them and infertility, cancer, autoimmune diseases, Alzheimer\u2019s and so much more. I also have Hashimoto\u2019s autoimmune disease, so using non-toxic products is an important part of keeping the disease in check.<\/p>\n On my face, I alternate between different face oils, I like Kjaer Weis\u2019 The Beautiful Oil<\/a> and Vintner\u2019s Daughter<\/a>. If it\u2019s a weekend and I\u2019m staying local, I don\u2019t wear much or any makeup. Brooklyn is very lowkey like that, which I love. If it\u2019s a work day, I wear Kosas tinted oil <\/a>\u2013 it has nice coverage and texture and comes in a wide range of colors. It kind of melts into my skin and looks very natural. Then I use Westman Atelier\u2019s<\/a> cream blush stick in petal and their highlighter <\/a>on my cheekbones. I curl my lashes using Saie\u2019s lash curler and then apply their mascara<\/a>, which is one of the best mascaras I\u2019ve ever used, regardless of it being clean. Some days I line my eyes with brown liner. No matter what day it is, I brush my brows into place. I\u2019m very into a full feathery brow and I see the lovely Jimena Garcia (@jimenabrows) to tame these wild things.<\/p>\n What products do you keep on your person to use throughout the day?<\/strong><\/p>\n Lately I always keep Grown Alchemist Persian Rose hand cream<\/a> in my purse. I love anything rose scented, this one is super moisturizing in the harsh New York winter and is made of all clean ingredients. I also sometimes carry a little roll-on of pure peppermint oil because I suffer from migraines and this helps alleviate them. And I usually have some kind of lip balm and 1 lipstick with me. The lip balm I\u2019ve been loving lately is the Biossance Squalane+ Rose Vegan Lip Balm<\/a>. As for lipsticks, I\u2019m a fan of Kosas\u2019<\/a> and I tend to favor reddish or berry tones. I never fully apply them, I put a little on, then dab blot so it looks more muted.<\/p>\n What is your evening beauty routine?<\/strong><\/p>\n Sometimes I drink Moon Juice magnesi-OM to wind down. If I have time, I\u2019ll take a detoxifying Epsom or magnesium bath. I always take a prenatal vitamin \u2013 I obviously took it while I was pregnant and breastfeeding, but I continued it in place of a multivitamin after. I like the ones by Ritual<\/a>, they use clean, plant based ingredients backed by science. I like to gua sha and jade roll before I go to bed. I am personally not a fan of Botox and fillers, so I\u2019ll try anything that tones and tightens the skin naturally.<\/p>\n Do you have a secret beauty trick? <\/strong><\/p>\n This is a weird one that I learned from one of my mom\u2019s friends growing up\u2026 if you have food stuck in your teeth and no floss, you can use a couple of strands of your own hair. Obviously only do this in the bathroom where no one can see you!<\/p>\n How do you define beauty?<\/strong><\/p>\n I truly believe that beauty is a reflection of the inner state of mind and body. We have all been around people who vibrate positive energy and make us feel good – those are the people we remember and want to be around. Those people radiate beauty. Embracing one\u2019s insecurities is easier said than done, but I do feel like becoming a mother taught me to embrace my body and imperfections. I hope to be a good example to my daughter, and so I made a vow to never discuss my weight, talk about how much food I\u2019m consuming, what I\u2019m not eating, etc., especially in front of her. I don\u2019t view beauty in terms of restriction, which unfortunately I feel we have been conditioned to associate beauty with from a young age because of the incessant talk of diets and losing weight, painful beauty treatments, the fear of aging, etc. Beauty is nourishing your body with food that\u2019s good for you because it makes you feel good. Beauty is prioritizing one\u2019s mental health. Beauty is working out because you feel good after and it makes you feel strong, not because you need to fit into a pair of pants. Beauty is prioritizing body, mind and soul over how we look in the mirror.<\/p>\n
