This month, choose one thing you have never done before and just do it!  Here are some ideas for your adventure: organize a kayak trip, take a dance class, do some traveling or set a goal for a new personal challenge. Or try something simple, especially if you are the adventurous type already, like reading in the sunshine with no distractions.

Are you hesitant to break your routine? Fear and excitement have the same physiological expression in our bodies; it is our mind that classifies the feeling as either positive or negative. So the next time you consider a change in routine and your mind says “scary!” see if you can re-frame it as “exciting!”

Whatever adventure calls to you, use this summer to make it happen and enjoy your life. Increasing new experiences and excitement in your life can decrease your dependence on artificial stimulants like caffeine and sugar, leading to more vibrant health. Watch out for massive improvements in your well-being, plus a full portfolio of fun!

Food Focus: Raw and Cooling Salads

Why is it that in the summer we naturally crave more fresh and raw foods? These foods have a cooling effect on the body. The high water, fiber and vitamin content of raw foods work together to act as our internal air conditioning during these warm months. At this time of year we also need less dense, high-energy food because we get so much energy from being outside in the fresh air and sunshine.

There is no better season than summer to have fun creating your own fresh, tasty, creative salad combinations. Try your favorite leafy lettuce with various sliced, diced or grated veggies. Save time by keeping several ingredients already washed and chopped in your fridge so you can toss your salad meal in minutes. Experiment with adding diverse forms of protein to your salads, such as nuts, seeds, beans, fish or poultry. Pick up a light and healthy dressing at your local health food store, or mix up something easy, like lemon juice, black pepper and olive oil.

Wishing you a cool and adventurous summer! 

The Rejuvena: Your 10 minute Anti-Aging Facial

I recently added the Rejuvena into my face care routine and I am in love. After one simple, 10 minute treatment, the texture of my skin already feels softer and smoother than before.

The Rejuvena deeply cleans and exfoliates, tones, smooths fine lines, increases collagen production and optimizes skin care products by penetrating them deep beyond the skin’s waterproof barrier. Get your very own Rejuvena here: http://cylleria.thebiomatcompany.us/home/products/rejuvena.html.
