Spring Cleaning for The Mind, Body and Soul

Happy Spring tribe! This month's blog is all about stripping down, starting fresh and nourishing ourselves: from the inside out!

"BODY"

----Inside

Time to ditch the heavy starch root veggies along with our cute knit sweaters and transition to seasonal fare and flair: Go with salads and sleeveless! Salads are not your friend? Juice or blend those veggies to get them into your body.

----Out

Remove that dry winterized skin and replace it with energized skin that demands to be touched!  
Try dry skin brushing. It's a fast, effective, numerous health benefits not only removes dead skin cells but also activates waste removal via your lymph nodes.  
Finish off your polish with a simple moisturizer like organic coconut oil.

"MIND"

Meditation need not be complicated. It's all about be present in the moment. You can find a place to just sit and be still and be aware of your breath. Or you can make it a moving meditation: go for a walk, put on your favourite music and have a solo dance party! Find time and make it fun!

"SOUL"

Seva: selfless work or volunteer work.
Take time to give back to your community. Feel like giving back on a global scale? Add travel to your plan and volunteer abroad! Find a cause you care about or a location you're interested in visiting and do some research before you go.
