Two Minute Wellness
By Marina Klimasiewfski • March 1st, 2008March is the month when we get to shed our old skin and transition into spring. All of the layers and the temperature change from going outside and freezing, to inside and being overheated, can get the body and mood unbalanced. However, sometimes it feels like getting involved in activities to increase our wellness causes more problems because it can seem overwhelming and time consuming, but getting your spirits and health back up can take as little as two minutes a day (at most!) with some easy wellness additions to your life.
Your two minute wellness steps follow!
Drinking warm fluid is a nice boost, but be wary of dusty tea bags that have been sitting on the supermarket shelves for years. To enjoy all the benefits of a nice cup of tea choose a finally crafted one. I enjoy floral, feminine teas. Making tea? 2 minutes, drink at your own pace.
My Picks:

Red Flower’s Rose Flower Tea -
sweet, unique and capable of being used as a bath soak as well!

Mighty Leaf Tea Company’s Orchid Oolong -
another floral tea that helps bring your mind to a different place.
Eating well is always a good idea, but eating perfectly all the time is usually impossible and vitamin supplements can provide a little shortcut. Plus, a diet rich in vitamins can make you prettier! Taking a vitamin? 10 seconds.
My picks:

Boscia’s Antioxidant Vegetable Therapy -
follows the principle that many of the vitamin complexes found in vegetables refresh the cells. It’s recommended you take these supplements 5(!) times a day, I’ve brought mine to my office and am currently up to 3 times a day.

Nude Supplements -
these come in four varieties, depending on your desired results - “Age Defense”, “Advanced Multivitamin”, “Hydrate”, and “Detox”. All of the Nude Supplements are rich in probiotics, the “healthy” bacteria. Our society is very focused on anti-bacterial right now, but re-introducing good microbes is necessary for optimal health and beauty.
3. Candles -

Lighting a candle takes no time at all and the subtle aromatherapy it gives off can sooth you for hours. However, like tea, be sure not to skimp, the funk given off from cheap candles can lead to a headache. Lighting a candle? 10 seconds.
My picks:

Space.NK candles -
has a variety of well-made candles, including one called Springtime Seduction!

Red flower’s icelandic moonflower candle –
otherworldly. this candles subtly disperses it’s enchanted smell throughout your home.

Manuel Canovas’ Bois de Lune -
this candle seduced me.
Take good care of yourselves this Spring, beauties - You deserve it!
