Lisa Strong’s Tips For Taking Care of Your Mind, Body and Soul

Think Dirty featured our President and Founder, Lisa Strong, in their Top 3 Rituals for Self-Love series last month. We are breaking it down and taking notes from Lisa today! Here are Lisa’s top three rituals for self-love:
1. 15 min energy - alignment process (quiet your mind, feel your vibration rise and write a list of things you appreciate in your life).
We have heard that the benefits of meditation are endless! Some of our favorites that Huffington Post mentions include reduced stress, improved concentration, increased happiness and self awareness. Take 15 minutes of quiet time for yourself a day and you will notice the improvements in your health overtime. Showing your gratitude goes a long way as well— start your list of things you appreciate in life and feel uplifted instantly!
2. Chinese herbology.
Herbal therapy is widely used in the Asian culture for treating and preventing illnesses. We are not experts in Chinese herbology, but here’s a list to help you get started if you are interested. Herbology is a great way to treat the skin and body from within but for external application, our not-so-secret, go-to product is the Aiona Alive E-ternal Mask for all skin types.
3. 3 x 4 km runs per week.
Regular exercise can do wonders for your health (but that’s not new information, is it?). Outdoor runs can be refreshing but while we wait for the weather in Canada to warm up, a treadmill will have to do. Don’t like running? Maybe you can try these exercises instead.
3 Skin-Loving Foods to Eat on Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day is today! While you are planning your meal for this special occasion, we have come up with this list of Valentine’s Day themed foods to eat that your skin will love.
1. Dark Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Chocolate, and chocolate dipped strawberries are a Valentine’s Day essential. Strawberries also happen to be rich in vitamin C, which helps with collagen production. This sweet berry has many nutritional benefits that you need to know about. Dip them in dark chocolate and there’s a bonus. According to mensfitness.com, dark chocolate has properties that can actually protect your skin from harmful UV rays. Now you can indulge without (too much) guilt!
2. Raw Oysters
3. Grass Fed Beef Steak

Steak is definitely a staple for date night, and a likely meal for most Valentine’s Day meals. Like oysters, beef steaks contain a large amount of protein. An article on Prevention.com tells us that the grass fed variety in particular has a higher ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids, which helps with inflammation. Be sure to include grass fed beef stake in your Valentine’s Day menu for many great health benefits.

The Importance of Daily Cleansing
The Importance of Daily Cleansing
Washing your face in the morning and evening is vital for great skin. Regular cleansing ensures your pores are not clogged and allows for your skin to properly absorb anti-aging treatments. Get in the habit of regularly cleansing your face, but do not overdo it as it can dry out your skin and strip it of its natural oils.
Always consider the ingredients in a cleanser— generally, it is good to avoid alcohol and fragrance as they can dry and irritate your skin but they are not the only offenders. Our Step 0: E-Citrus Cleanser is made with 100% natural ingredients that are effective in moisturizing skin while deep cleaning. It is fragranced with essential oils and the cleaning power is strong enough to remove waterproof mascara! Suitable for all skin types as well.
Some of the benefits of the key ingredients in our E-Citrus Cleanser include (but are not limited to):
-Bladderwrack: reduces age spots, wrinkles, and inflammation
-Gold collagen: promotes smooth skin
- Hyaluronic acid: improves skin elasticity and retains moisture
A cleanser is the base of your regime— try our E-Citrus Cleanser today for clean, healthy skin.
Prep Your Skin For the Fall Season
Now that Summer is officially over, it is time to prepare our skin for the cold weather ahead of us. Take some time to relax and treat your skin to a rhythmic routine of moisturizing skin care. Light some candles and turn your home into a spa with our 4 Step All Skin Set.
How does the 4 Step All Skin Set work?
Step 1: Start with our E-citrus Cleanser and wash away any leftover makeup and dirt from the day. A clean base is key to pampering your skin.
Step 2: Next, apply our Moisture HA Serum to plump the skin. Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is the key ingredient in this serum and is also a carrier for collagen. For this reason, following immediately with the next step is crucial for smooth skin.
Step 3: Follow up with the E-ternal Mask for all skin types. This mask is made with Silver Carp fish collagen, which is small enough to penetrate skin and help replenish our own collagen cells. The E-ternal Mask will help to heal skin conditions, as well as reducing the appearance of fine lines.
Step 4: Finish off with the E-sensual Moisturizer. This moisturizer is the perfect end to steps 1-3 as it will create a breathable, wearable moisture mask that will work to keep the skin hydrated for longer.
As a bonus to having your whole body feeling fabulous, pair the 4 Step All Skin Set with our E-lixir Mask for Body. The E-lixir Mask for Body contains live collagen derived especially for the body.
