It’s cold and flu season and all we are hearing about is to get our vaccines, mask up and wash our hands. Very few voices talking about healthy lifestyle and natural ways to boost immunity.
Our beautiful friend Corie Tappin is the founder of SoulSpace Malibu, and is such an inspiration for Britt and me for self-care and health. Corie recently invited us into her beautiful studio to learn a little bit more about how she helps her clients achieve wellness, naturally. Since you couldn’t be there with us, Corie is on The Sweet Life offering her expert tips for self-care. Enjoy! XO CYN
This past week while I was in Kauai, there was a tropical storm with massive rainfall and the next morning the ocean water was turbid and brown. Advisories were issued to keep out of the water temporarily due to storm run-off. I sat on the porch of my house and watched the ocean clean itself. Each hour, the water became a little more blue-green and clear. By 3 pm it was back to normal. I was a witness to the amazing ability of the ocean to heal itself through it's ability to cleanse itself. We humans are close to 75% water and have the ability to cleanse and renew ourselves also. But we must stop polluting ourselves so that we can be renewed. Watching this beautiful natural spectacle, I resolved to renew myself this Spring. I hope you will too. Join me on the 21 Day Spring Transformation Challenge.

As the Spring Equinox approaches this Friday, it's the ideal time for a little Spring Cleaning! In nature, the world around us is coming out of hibernation, emerging from rest, and preparing for growth. We can do the same by preparing our bodies now for the high energy seasons of Spring and Summer where we tend to exert a lot of energy. Do a detox to help boost your body's energy and strength. Spring is the season associated with the Liver and there is no better time to give your Liver a break from all the toxins it handles for you on a daily basis. Thankfully, your liver has the power to regenerate. It's the only organ that has this capability. So give it a chance to do so now by eliminating alcohol, processed food and chemicals from your diet for this month. Or a week or whatever you can do.
Start your day off right with a Superfood Smoothie! Today's version featured cherries, banana, raspberries, kale, organic whey protein, kefir, spirulina, chia seeds, flax seed oil, and litchi juice and water (as needed to blend). It's a great way to pack in the nutrients when you and your family are on the go. My 10 year old son liked a version without Spirulina. #superfood#smoothie#soulspacemalibu#acupunctureheals
