BEST SUPPLEMENTS FOR BEAUTY AND BRAINS
I think it's safe to say that we could all use a little help bringing out our best selves - while I try to stick to a nutritional diet, get plenty of sleep, and drink water etc, my schedule often shifts around, making it a hard to stick to a perfect routine.
One thing that I've really found helps me are supplements. What I love about them is that they take less than a minute to add to my routine, but they make a world of difference. But of course, different supplements do different things - and after trying a lot of them, I thought I'd share 4 of my absolute favorites - and their benefits with you.
NOURISH AND DETOXIFY: I've been taking these supplements for a long time now - I just love how Aja Vitamins tailors a whole bunch of super powerful ingredients to focus in on a specific purpose. At this point, I think I've tried (and loved) all of the Aja Vitamin packets, but this is definitely the tried and true that I keep coming back to. I'm a huge fan of both Spirulina (which is a complete, perfect protein - great for vegans and vegetarians - and also helps with your immune system) and Milk Thistle (which cleanses your liver among other things resulting in fabulous digestion, a flatter stomach and definitely clearer skin). To learn more about these vitamins and what they do, check out this video I made that includes these vitamins as one of my top beauty secrets.
One thing we often overlook as we age is our brain, which is silly, considering that's where all of our good decisions come from! This daily supplement comes with the patented EHT extract, which helps to keep neural connections strong, and is a natural mix of isolated molecules found in coffee. I don't know if it's placebo or not, but I know I felt instantly more alert one day after I started taking these. Whatever it was, it was enough to make me a pretty loyal fan.
These supplements also contain B6, B12, magnesium citrate, selenium, Huperzine A and lipolic acid, all known to help with neurological function, many of which help combat aging from a physical angle as well.
Ok so I've talked about Beauty Dust a few times now - here's the original video I made talking about beauty dust (and sex dust!) with Moon Juice creator, Amanda Chantal Bacon. I truly truly love this stuff! While it has a ton of beauty benefits, one of my favorite things about it (especially in the desert) is that it seems to moisturize better than a lot of lotions I've tried! When I'm regular with drinking a cup of this, I notice a huge difference in my skin's moisture. It also helps keep your hair nice and shiny and also brightens your eyes. You can also drink it hot or cold - and did I mention that it tastes delicious?
I take these as often as I can - another winner from Aja Vitamins! This packet contains a multivitamin, ginko bilboa, which improves blood circulation to the brain, and CoEnzyme Q10 which boosts brain power (not to mention also helps improve digestion and heart health, improves skin firmness and can aid with weight loss). I love these vitamin packets because when in doubt, these kind of help with everything. Plus, they're incredibly travel friendly!

I use all these all of these pretty regularly, sometimes together and sometimes on their own - so if you have any questions, let me know!
