Nourish Your Body!

Loving your body can be hard; I know this all too well. We are constantly fed images of what our bodies should look like, what “health” means, and what we should weigh. The April box is going to focus on avoiding diet culture and actually caring for your body, because your body is worthy of care.

Your body is your home, and it’s the only one you have. Let’s focus on treating it with love, respect, and nourishment. In turn, you’ll begin to feel comfortable in your own skin, and loving your body won’t seem so hard after all.

This month we focused on just that. Let’s take a look.

The book for this month was The Joy of Doing Nothing by Rachel Jonat. Fight back against busyness and celebrate the pleasure of doing nothing in this new guide that helps relieve stress and increase happiness in your life.

As people pleasers, go getters, and women with dreams, we are constantly on the go and completing our never-ending to-do lists. This is great for when you have goals to achieve, sure, but we often ignore the toll it takes on our bodies. Nourish your body this month by doing nothing at all! Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is rest.

One of the incredible items subscribers received in this box is a Pink Tumbler! This is the perfect way to increase your water intake and begin nourishing your body by hydrating it.

There are a lot of ways in which increasing your water intake can help your body, but here are just a few of the common health benefits:
Improved energy levels
Increased brain function
Reduced fatigue
Flushed out toxins
Improved skin clarity

Nourishing your body from the outside in! Our skin is our body’s largest organ, so it begs for lots of love and attention. These Coconut + Rice face masks by Purlisse are SO nourishing for your skin, and I guarantee you’ll start to love your body more when you’re feeling fresh.

We also need to nourish our bodies from the inside out by choosing nutritious options – please note: I don’t mean following diet culture! You are amazing, and you don’t need that shit. Focus on making one meal a day full of nutrients. Think: fruit, veggies, or something yummy like these Karma Bites Bars.

“Karma Bites was created on the idea of balance. We support the fact that food is fuel for you physically and mentally. Being a happy, healthier person shouldn’t mean restriction, but rather showing more compassion and love to your mind and body. We hope to bring good karma to your life, even in just a bite sized way.”

All of our bodies are different, and they all require different types of nourishment. These Vivoo test strips are perfect for figuring out what your body needs. A quick test creates personalized nutrition and lifestyle advice in an easy to use app.

I hope you are able to nourish your body in every way this month. Your body is beautiful, strong, and amazing, and it is deserving of love and nourishment.
