We have spent the last 12 months in a quarantine cocoon and Summer 2021 is going to be the \u201cSummer of the Butterfly.\u201d It\u2019s time to start slowly expanding our wings and make looking and feeling our best a priority as we emerge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A sedentary stay-at-home lifestyle with lots of comfort eating may have left us with a few unwanted COVID pounds and wearing masks to protect our lungs has covered our faces with \u201cmaskne.\u201d The added stress on the adrenals has left us with dark circles around our eyes and an \u201call-natural\u201d approach to the beauty routine worked during isolation but is no longer delivering the results we hoped for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preparing for a grand debut can seem overwhelming but with a little help, the challenges of 2020 can easily be a thing of the past. To get you ready for Summer, here are my top 10 beauty tips and tricks guaranteed to make you shine!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Erase Your Frown Lines<\/strong>. <\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

The stress of the pandemic has created unwanted lines and wrinkles on our faces. With a few sprinkles of Botox or Dysport you can erase lines and enjoy a more youthful appearance in minutes. Clinical studies show us that muscle movements can be directly linked to emotions and when we Botox muscles that create frown lines, we will actually feel happier. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

2. Say Goodbye to Cellulite. <\/strong> <\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

One exciting new thing to come out of quarantine is the launch of the first FDA-approved injectable for cellulite. Cellulite haunts women of all shapes and sizes. Dimples on the buttocks and legs are formed by fibrous septi bands and are not something we can easily fix with diet and exercise alone. Topical lotions and scrubs that contain caffeine can temporarily help soften the appearance of cellulite but an enzymatic release with a few tiny injections of QWO can create long-lasting results so you can feel confident in your bikini all summer long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Increase Your Water Intake<\/strong>.  <\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Everyone should be consuming at least half of their body weight in water daily. Springwater is my go-to for its natural energetic mineral content and staying hydrated is one of the best ways to lighten those dreaded circles around the eyes. For those of us that need to lose weight, suppression of hunger and food cravings with adequate hydration is a no-brainer so consume 8-10 ounces of water 30-60min before your meals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Always Make Time for Topical and Internal Vitamin C.  <\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
