We have spent the last 12 months in\u00a0a\u00a0quarantine 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.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A sedentary\u00a0stay-at-home lifestyle with\u00a0lots of\u00a0comfort\u00a0eating\u00a0may have\u00a0left us with\u00a0a few unwanted\u00a0COVID pounds and wearing\u00a0masks to protect our lungs has covered our faces\u00a0with\u00a0\u201cmaskne.\u201d The\u00a0added\u00a0stress\u00a0on the adrenals\u00a0has left us with dark circles around our eyes and an \u201call-natural\u201d approach to the beauty\u00a0routine\u00a0worked during isolation but is no longer delivering the results we hoped for.\u00a0<\/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\u00a0are my top 10 beauty\u00a0tips 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\u00a0lines\u00a0and wrinkles\u00a0on\u00a0our faces.\u00a0With a few\u00a0sprinkles\u00a0of Botox or Dysport you can erase lines and enjoy a more youthful appearance\u00a0in minutes.\u00a0Clinical\u00a0studies show us that muscle movements can be directly linked to emotions and when\u00a0we Botox muscles that create frown lines, we\u00a0will actually\u00a0feel happier.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

2. Say Goodbye to Cellulite.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

One exciting\u00a0new\u00a0thing 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\u00a0and legs\u00a0are formed by fibrous\u00a0septi\u00a0bands and\u00a0are\u00a0not something we can\u00a0easily\u00a0fix 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\u00a0of QWO can create\u00a0long-lasting\u00a0results so you can feel confident in your bikini all summer long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Increase Your Water Intake<\/strong>.\u00a0 <\/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\u00a0its\u00a0natural energetic mineral content and staying hydrated is one of the best ways to\u00a0lighten those dreaded circles around the eyes. For those of us that need to lose weight,\u00a0suppression of\u00a0hunger and\u00a0food\u00a0cravings\u00a0with adequate hydration is a no-brainer so consume 8-10 ounces of water 30-60min before your meals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4.\u00a0Always Make Time for Topical and\u00a0Internal Vitamin C.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
