Beauty begins with what you put inside your body and how it makes you feel, and that impacts how you look. Here are my tips for living well in 2021.
Eat Better
It's not about eating less, it's about eating better. The most valuable lesson I learned while studying at IIN to be a health coach was that adding in more good choices will “crowd out" the less than good choices. It’s ultimately the easy lifestyle choices you make daily that add up. Put eating more fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, proteins and healthy fats on your list of 2021 resolutions.
Upgrade Your Smoothie
The newest addition to my smoothie routine is ZenBasil. These basil seeds are the new chia seeds, but better. Power packed with fiber, iron, calcium and potassium, they give every sip a boost.
Put Your Gut First
Feeling good starts with a healthy gut. These four products from my EVOLUTION_18 collection work together to nourish the microbiome and support healthy digestion. Added bonus: they’ll give your hair, skin and nails a boost too.

Look Good on Zoom
Good lighting is everything, but makeup helps too. All you need is a good moisturizer, a little bit of blush (or a combo of both), mascara, and filled in brows. I swear by Augustinus Bader moisturizer, Jones Road Miracle Balm, Jones Road Mascara, and a dense brown shadow to fill in brows.
Relax
If there’s one thing I learned in 2020, it was to take a deep breath, relax, and don’t be so hard on yourself. Even if you don’t get it right or you don’t make that deadline, it will all work out in the end. Taking a Chill CBD Gummy helps, too.
Wear a Mask
There’s a light at the end of all of this, we just need to stick together. Wear a mask. Stay home. Check in on your friends, family and neighbors.
Get Glowing Skin
When it comes to glowing skin, these are my secret weapons: Beauty Collagen and Jones Road Miracle Balm. I add EVOLUTION_18 Beauty Collagen to my daily smoothies and coffee to nourish hair, skin, and nails. Combine this with Jones Road Miracle Balm (which really is a do-it-all miracle product) and you’ll have a glow all year long.
Support Your Local Businesses
Now more than ever it is so important to support your local businesses, however you can. Buy a coffee, leave a positive review, and tell your friends. We need each other now, more than ever.
Keep Moving
It can be hard since we’re spending more time at home and indoors, but find ways to move your body everyday. I love this reminder from my trainer, Krystal: “Waking up and working out is not an easy choice, especially when you are so busy. Be proud of your effort, it all counts.”
Drink More Water
I know I sound like a broken record at this point, but staying hydrated is key. So fill up that bottle and then fill it up again. Feeling stuck? Add a squeeze for lemon or lime juice or make ice cubes with fruit and mint.
Be Kind
Always. You never know who you’re going to meet or what their story is. Treat everyone with kindness and respect. It goes a long way.
