Welcome to The Rep!

A bold reputation for beauty | health + balance with mini practices & habits to create a happier life. 

You may have caught the play on that if you are a Swiftie like I am! This has been in the back of my mind for a while now and before I could drop the release, I knew it needed to be authentic to what we speak to at TEAL. Serving our purpose to provide YOU with support and value, not just inside the studio, but in your everyday life as well. As a mom, wife/partner, business owner and leader, I have struggled for years trying to find balance (if it even exists). I find that I never HAVE time, but must create the space for it and these things have helped me feel better and achieve where I want to be, creating a happier life for myself and everyone in it. I have shared them with the team and now with you. I hope they help you in some way.

Xoxo,

DAILY PRACTICE:

All you need is a good-quality brush, preferably with medium-stiff natural bristles. A plethora of options awaits you at your favorite online or local beauty stores. Be sure to select one that feels comfortable and contouring to your unique body shape.

Body brushing does wonders for your skin. It's an excellent way to exfoliate, sloughing away those dead cells and revealing a more luminous layer beneath. But the magic doesn't stop there. As you brush, you're also enhancing your circulation and encouraging the flow of lymph fluid, which is crucial for detoxification and skin rejuvenation.

Integrating body brushing into your daily self-care regimen is delightfully straightforward. Try incorporating this practice pre-shower each morning. Begin at your feet and gently brush upwards toward your heart. This invigorating routine will not only cleanse your skin but will also serve as a revitalizing wake-up call, setting a positive tone for your day.

Embrace body brushing, darlings, and discover a more radiant, vibrant, and healthy version of you waiting to shine!

WELLNESS RECOMMENDATION:

What sets this book apart is its blend of insightful science and practical strategies. Clear presents the 'Four Laws of Behavioral Change': Make it Obvious, Make it Attractive, Make it Easy, and Make it Satisfying. These guideposts can help us form positive habits and dismantle the negative ones.

And why am I recommending this for our wellness journey? Because true wellness is all-encompassing—it's not just about skincare or diet, it's about cultivating a healthier mind and spirit. Habits, seen and unseen, shape every facet of our lives. By understanding and harnessing them, we can bring about profound changes. So, let's dive into "Atomic Habits," one small but mighty step towards a more radiant and fulfilling life!

HEALTHY RECIPE:

Pesto Pasta with Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Roasted Asparagus

INSTRUCTIONS

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray.

• In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions; drain well.

• Place asparagus in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper, to taste; gently toss to combine. Place into oven and roast for 8-12 minutes, or until tender but crisp. Let cool before cutting into 1-inch pieces.

• In a large bowl, combine pasta, asparagus, pesto, sun-dried tomatoes and mozzarella.

• Serve immediately with a fried egg, if desired.

Have you heard of Thrive Market?

It’s a membership-based online marketplace that focuses on providing natural and organic goods at discounted prices. Thrive Market is my favorite way to get healthy foods at the best price. With a similar structure to a wholesale club like Costco, Thrive Market differentiates itself with a commitment to health and sustainability. 

Members have access to a wide range of items, from wholesome food, vitamin supplements, and personal care products to eco-friendly cleaning supplies and safe beauty products. They also carry organic baby food, kids' products, and other household essentials.

Best of all, it comes directly to your doorstep, no waiting in line at the grocery store!

Now that summer is here, I want nothing more than to spend the evening golden hour on the porch with a cocktail in hand. But I don’t always feel like drinking alcohol. I’ve recently discovered this amazing brand called Seedlip. Think of all your favorite cocktails, but alcohol free- Seedlip is recognized for pioneering the world's first distilled non-alcoholic spirits. The company's mission is to provide sophisticated and flavourful alternatives for those choosing not to consume alcohol. Their products are created using a distinctive distillation process, resulting in a blend of botanicals, herbs, spices, and citrus peels.

They offer three main variants: Seedlip Garden 108 with a herbal profile, Seedlip Spice 94 characterized by warm spices, and Seedlip Grove 42, offering a citrusy flavor. These non-alcoholic spirits are perfect for crafting complex mocktails or sipping with tonic water, much like you'd enjoy traditional spirits.
