The Beauty Snitch

If it’s good enough for @jessicabiel, it’s good enough for me! — BUT — Float Therapy using Epsom Salt is good for 𝙛𝙖𝙧 more than event prep ⤵️ 🛁 Soaking in Epsom Salt can help reduce stress, provide mental clarity + relaxation, and alleviate physical pain (…and then some)! 🌊 The zero gravity effect of floating in the private float suite encouraged my body and mind to quickly go into a relaxation state similar to falling asleep. (Not to worry! Falling asleep during float therapy is completely normal…and safe.) 🧖‍♀️ @halcyonfloats located in Fishtown and a quick 6 minute drive from @livepiazza in NoLibs, offers different relaxation and healing modalities that help to address anxiety, sleep irregularities, and general well-being. 🌊 Float Therapy is Halcyon’s main draw, but the float spa also has a non-float option, an oxygen bar, halotherapy, sound healing therapy, and a full-spectrum infrared sauna. 3️⃣ While 3 float sessions is typically the recommended number to really start receiving maximum benefits by being able to relax into the session, I was fortunate to experience reduced lower back pain the day after my 1st session. ⭐️ PLUS, my skin was so incredibly soft! 🧘‍♀️ If you — or you AND mom — are ready for the gift of relaxation + healing, then it’s time to visit Halcyon Floats to try Float Therapy. ⬇️ 🗓️ Until May 15th, enjoy • two 90-minute floats for $99 • one 90-minute float + one sauna session for $84 📲 Visit @halcyonfloats on IG to take advantage of this special offer and book your float! 📍 Halcyon Floats 1314 N.

I hate my skin. I have repeated this phrase to myself numerous times over the last 40 years. And each time I’ve said it, I’ve meant it. Worse yet, I can assure you that you couldn’t have convinced me otherwise. But today, as I write these words and read them back to myself, it fills me with sadness. I’ve battled one form of acne or another more years of my life than not. With the arrival of 30 came all the fine lines and wrinkles my mom promised would show up. My autoimmune disease has blessed me with reduced skin laxity which contributes to sagging skin and enlarged pores. And last but certainly not least, I spent the first two decades of my life building core memories while worshiping the sun alongside my Granny, Grandmom, Mom and friends…and leaving behind sunspots as a reminder. But you better believe I wouldn’t give back those core memories for anything. I accept now that my skin may require a little more TLC than the next person, but it is also what literally holds me together. Some days my skin may show signs of age, a bit of wear and tear or it might be downright angry. I can’t say I blame it. The world is harsh on me, on all of us, and that includes our skin. So I have realized that my skin deserves grace. And together we’ve been on a journey… It involves facing the mirror and seeing beyond the imperfections, the wrinkles and scars, the discoloration and blemishes. It means embracing your bare skin, with all its flaws and all its beauty, and learning to love every part of yourself, inside and out. It’s a journey of self-discovery, of learning to be kind to yourself, to forgive yourself, to treat yourself with compassion, to speak to yourself with love, and to embrace the person staring back at you in the mirror. And trust me, it is a journey worth taking. 📸 These photos are unedited images of my skin 6 months post use of neuromodulators (Botox) + with consistent application of a combo of medical grade and dermatologist-approved skincare. #phillybeauty #phillyesthetician #skincarejourney #skincareover40 #over40 #skincaredaily #myskin #realskin #vulnerabilityisstrength #beautifulskin #selfempowerment #nomakeupselfie

Yes! That’s right - Even my picky pup loved @_bitesandblends! Here is what we ate GLUTEN FREE* and LOVED ⤵️ - Healthy but DELICIOUS - is the name of the game when visiting Bites and Blends in Upper Dublin, PA. 🥗 The ingredients are fresh, almost every menu item is customizable and made to order, and -with the exception of the wraps- just about all options can be made gluten free. 🐾 In addition to the limitless menu of healthy options available to people, the same focus on healthy recipes and ingredients also extends to the Fuzzy Friends menu. Barkley ate + loved the Protein Bowl packed with fresh chicken breast, crumbled turkey bacon and you can’t forget the shredded cheese! 🥪 As for me, let me just say that Bites and Blends did not skip a beat when creating their menu. My gluten-free MTO meal included: • 1/2 Egg Smash Sandwich + 1/2 Cobb Salad ☞︎ I added Pesto, Tomato + Crushed Red Pepper 🌶️ • Chocolate Covered Strawberry Açai Bowl ☞︎ My bowl had GF Granola + Almond Butter Drizzle + Blueberries • Signature B&B Smoothie ☞︎ The Blue Spirulina …. *chef’s kiss* 🙌 All of it gluten-free and packed with flavor. 🤫 PLUS, word on the street is the @girlies podcast + @bran_flakezz have added their own drink to the menu. I already know it is delicious, but the best part? A portion of the proceeds go to charity. Whether you live close to Upper Dublin or are down for a little road trip, @_bitesandblends will be well worth your while! Visit Bites and Blends in the 📍 @promenadeatupperdublin *NOTE: I do not have Celiac Disease. I tolerate cross-contamination. My experiences with gluten and related dietary restrictions are a choice to help manage my autoimmune disease.
