With summer happening I wanted to share with you how I am staying healthy from the inside out right now. Hydrating, restful sleep, pampering and popping a fun nail color are my go to ways to get that extra glow this time of year!

I love adding simple sliced fruit to my water. Not only does it taste delicious but the fruit infuses the water with its natural vitamins making your glass of water that much better for you! As of late I have been adding strawberries and lemons into my water and loving every drop. I simply slice the fruit and let it infuse the water over night and enjoy several glasses over the course of the next day. I find that I can refill the water at least three times before the fruit is no longer infusing. The flavor will become less intense with each refill.

Sleep is one of the best things you can do for your mind and body. To help calm my mind and slow down I love to add a few drops of fresh lavender oil to my nighttime routine. I rub a few drops into my face in a slow circular motion, releasing the fragrance helping to calm my mind. Sometimes I even pour a few drops onto my eye cover mask so while I am falling asleep a faint smell is in the air to help ease my mind. I place a few drops on the cover in the morning to make sure it is fully absorbed and dried into the mask.

Exfoliating your skin is important all year round. In the summer months I shy away from typical olive oil and brown sugar scrub and use honey as a substitute. This scrub works magic for my skin, leaving it fresh, glowing and hydrated. The brown sugar is gentle on my skin, clearing away dead skin while the honey is moisturizing with all of it anti-microbial benefits. I keep a little jar of equal parts honey and brown sugar and use it as needed. I love to use it as a foot scrub too, it helps keeps my exposed feet and toes happy all summer long.

This pop of color on my nails is my current favorite, Watermelon by Essie. Go for the beyond corals and brights, it is summer and the best time to explore fun nail options.
