It's important to know I’m talking about filtered water. There are many powerful filters out there. Do. Your research and find one that’s has great ratings and fits your budget. Pay attention to how much you're drinking and write it down. Increase your amount day after day!
Using Essential Oils in your water increases absorption, antioxidants and benefits you won't believe. More on that within the challenge!

Reduce processed foods.
Processed foods are loaded with salt and chemicals. Salt alone dehydrates your skin and to defy aging we need hydration. We also need quality ingredients to fuel our bodies. Part of the healthy fuel is used to repair cells as well as new growth. Chemicals wreak havoc among your system and detoxifying organs which trickle down to our skin and how it ages.
Fresh is BEST!
TODAY: Limit your food from a bag or middle of the grocery store to one item for the whole day. Take note on how much you reach for processed foods.
If you wear makeup wash with a gentle cleanser at night (my fav. non toxic is in the link below). In the morning a gently wipe your face with cool water & cloth is a good practice. Over washing with soaps as well not removing your makeup at night causes accelerated aging- NO THANK YOU!
TONIGHT: WASH YOUR FACE BEAUTIFUL!
Eat More Fruits & Veggies
Omitting processed foods opens the doors to filling your belly with nourishing foods. Raw fruits and veggies are easy to prep and perfect on-the-go foods! Again, keep in mind the food you eat tips the life scale in one direction or the other.. Eat live food for life or 'dead' processed foods for... well you get it.
TODAY: Add in a few fruit and veggies where you would have reached for a packaged snack.
Wear Sunscreen
It is important to reduce the sun UV exposure which can cause damage. TODAY: WEAR YOUR FAVORITE HAT & APPLY SUNSCREEN.
My favorite is special, because it contains zero chemicals. Nada, ziltch. Which makes it reef safe as well, which is a huge plus!
Did you know there are chemicals in sunscreen that are carcinogenic when exposed to UV rays? Doesn't' make sense right? This is why I only use the one kind.
My family is very pale and burn easy... this sunscreen works amazing for them!
