Let’s be real—life comes at you fast. Whether you’re juggling motherhood, building your dreams, or just trying to stay hydrated and sane through the chaos, it’s natural to lose your center. That’s why I created Unfiltered Friday—a space to press pause, get honest, clear the mental clutter, and realign with what keeps us glowing from the inside out.
💆🏾♀️ Self-Care: It’s Not a Luxury. It’s a Necessity.
Facts. Self-care is about intentionally carving out moments to return to clarity through your breath. You can gain a lot of insight from just a few silent minutes to yourself without distractions.
🧘🏽♀️ Meditation: Your Inner Glow-Up
Meditation is skincare for the soul. Just like exfoliators clear away dead skin cells and debris, meditation clears mental clutter and emotional buildup—leaving your spirit lighter and your glow stronger.
Here’s what mindful meditation can do:
✨ Detox your mind from toxic thought patterns
✨ Ground your body and deepen self-awareness (especially if you’ve been stuck in survival mode)
✨ Aid in decision-making and restore confidence
✨ Help you respond instead of react
✨ Lower cortisol (stress hormones) that wreak havoc on both your skin and nervous system
“The skin mirrors the mind. Your thoughts reflect in your skin. When you calm your thoughts, your skin will clarify too.” – The Skin Luminare 💫
✨ Tips for Cultivating Your Inner Zen (Even on a Busy Schedule):
🌞 Start Small – Begin your morning with a few deep breaths. No fancy poses, just presence.
🌿 Use Aromatherapy – Essential oils like lavender, frankincense, or clary sage can help ground you. Diffuse them or apply to pulse points during breathwork.
💎 Grounding Tools I Love – Crystal rollers, snow globes, or gua sha. A few nighttime minutes spent with these tools can help depuff, destress, and relax your face and mind.
🎶 Mindful Moments – Play sound bowl music during your commute. Walk in nature while expressing gratitude. Sip your tea without distractions. Journal your thoughts. These are all powerful mini-meditations.
🧹 Clear the Clutter – Not just in your mind, but in your space. A clean, organized home supports a calm, aligned mindset. And emotionally? Setting boundaries is a form of self-care, too.
🔥 Unfiltered Truth: Self-care isn’t selfish—it’s sacred. It’s your reset button. It allows you to pour love into others without running yourself into the ground. When you care for your spirit, it shows up in your skin, your energy, and your presence.
If your thoughts feel scattered, your energy feels off, or you’ve been giving to everyone but yourself… let Unfiltered Friday be your gentle nudge. You deserve to rest. To breathe. To glow.
🌞 Glow Getter Tip: Add a drop or two of quality-grade essential oil like orange, grapefruit, or ginger—or a squeeze of fresh lemon—to your water first thing in the morning. It supports liver and kidney detoxification and warms the body. If using essential oils, always use glassware—not ceramic or plastic.
