Candace Owens wrote a powerful book (Blackout) that speaks truth, history and freedom (in relation to the African American situation). She also shared the story of Plato's Allegory of the Cave. Although the Greek philosophers where telling this story for reasons such as the intellect and enlightenment at the time, Candace takes it to a new level and relates this to the freedom of thought of black Americans. She encourages her race (as well as others in general), to step out of the narrative that powerful politicians (in this case, the Democrats) have a history of narrating them with, since the beginning of enslaving them (aside from the history of owning them as slaves); to choose a narrative of not victimhood but of victor.

Candace inspired me, and made me think about transforming this ancient allegory to what spring 2021 can have in store for us. Although 2020 had a lot of setbacks, and perhaps victimized many in different ways, there are still opportunities to blossom this spring, on all levels of health and wellbeing, and to become victors in our lives.

5/5 stars

Benefits Include:

• releases facial tension ✨

• natural energy boost 🟢

• reduces puffiness 💧💕

• promotes natural glow 🌞

What's cool about this, is that it brings the home facial to a new level.

I call it a facial tool and Midnight Paloma calls it "Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) healing modality that can be used for both body and face work." Thanks for the awesome and fun facial tool!

Skincare Inspiration from another Beauty Blogger  to West Coast Herbology Professor, Betty Norton

Here is a blogger's take on "The Best Skincare Routine". I think this may be a good infographic to see if anything may work for you this spring, while you do your detox. For example, maybe it's time to apply some of the good SPF on sunnier days or use a Virtueberry salt scrub to help with your weekly exfoliation.

According to The Best Skincare Routine, exfoliating is recommended. Virtueberry salt scrubs are a great way to exfoliate dead skin away while helping support a clearer skin tone as well. Check out the Himalayan Rose Salt Scrub for more details here.

In addition to all this beauty knowledge, Herbology Professor, Betty Norton, once said that the more nourished you are, the better you feel. IF the body is free from toxins, then the less burdened is the liver, which in turn is better for the skin, and this shows as a clear and glowing complexion, overall.
