Dietary/lifestyle rules I live by that may sound strange but not to me part 3

! Not intended as 100% reliable and medical recommendations. Just thought I'd share a bit about what makes me feel good and healthy as a wellness junkie. !

(almost) no shaving

not fearing fats and fructose (depending on your body/health obvi, not for people with intolerances and so)

actually wearing spf, but allowing your skin a few moments of sunlight right after waking up

acupressure mat + breathwork when stressed (also a daily routine)

also legs up the wall

zero consumption of pornographic or overly sexual material

marriage only with a big ass v detailed prenuptial agreement that will ensure my finances and property and dealings with pets, children etc. (and the ones of my spouse, as well ofc) (seems obvious, but isn't, sadly)

having my biggest (childhood) dreams fulfilled before getting children (e.g. certain pets [that can be kept with kids in the future])

simple diary + calender + habit tracker as only journaling method

always carrying puzzle magazines: great alternative for screen time (passing time w/no phone, cognitive/focus training and dopamine boosting)

having at least one hobby / something you do regularly for generativity, ecological or social care

essential oils

[grrapess]

sometimes it's all about watching the sunrise with the love of your life and some kefir + a bowl of cherries

eating the sweet food and fruir separate from your bigger meals or beforehand

religious (or spiritual) practice

using a sauna as often as you can (3×/week max.)

no makeup, ever

LOTS of oxytocin boosting activities (love making or cuddling)

only buying organic food

being naked/no clothes for some time @ home (or in my view-protected garden)

water fasting for up to two days if I feel like it

no self-pleasure (personal choice)

strict no-contact with family members that do more damage than good

at least one community or ecological service

Your mind is not separate from your body.

Your mind is part of your physical well-being.

Mental and physical health should not be separated.

You can't have a "healthy mind" without having a healthy body through lifestyle and vice versa.

< not pointing at chronic/terminal diseases ofc although it can also be connected >

[grrapess]

🥛healthier milkshake (*if you drink milk)

kefir

raw honey

any fruits you like with milk (I love strawberries, mangos and bananas)

optional: collagen powder (/any supplement you prefer and want to mix with kefir)

blend, blend, blend!

serve best cold (you can freeze the fruit before as well)

I WILL try this tonight😍 that sounds so lovely

You don't actually need that scalp brush.

If it's an investment you still may desire to purchase, then obviously go for it.

But just using your fingertips instead as a scalp massage mostly works even better in precision and it's obviously free.

This is how you scalp massage with your fingers efficiently:

(put product all over your hands)

(put product all over your scalp, make sure you lean forward to reach the back of your head as well and that you still have product on your tips at the end)

rub your skin in small circles using your tips or nails for at least 5 seconds. do as hard as you feel comfortable

move on a bit and continue until you finished your whole scalp (this can take some time)

What can you incorporate in your scalp massage?

in your shampoo routine (especially double cleansing)

oiling your hair / putting some sort of scalp care on

at night before bed

red light therapy

[grrapess]

life after wearing tank tops without bras and maxi skirts

all natural fibers always ofc

[grrapess]

oxytocin maxing: spouse edition

kissies all the time [when it's appropriate] (bonus points if it's 6sec+)

(un)consciously touching also all the time [when it's appropriate] (must not be in a sexual way ofc)

going to sleep together (and maybe a bit earlier) so you can cuddle

spooning/cuddling when relaxing

doing each other's hair

lot's of love making

I'm not kidding you should be smashing all the time [when it's appropriate!] (and dependent on your libido which should be colossal anyways if you have a healthy body)

showering and bathing together (bonus points if washing each other)

gently massaging each other regularly (don't do too harsh if you don't know what you're doing -> risk of more harm than good)

non-consistent partners/hooking up won't do the job here especially for women

goal for next summer: renting a tent at medieval or renaissance fair

The best beauty hack is accepting your natural features and instead of covering them up or change them you should not only embrace but compliment them in your appearance. This may sadden some of you (I was, too) but it's probably true. You have to go with it not fight it.

You are probably already dehydrated

If you can feel your thirst, it's already too late, as your body already hasn't enough water to function properly. So grab that bottle and get it started.
