Embody Your Beauty

There has never been as much pressure to look young and attractive as there is today. We’ve been conditioned to equate attractiveness and youth with success. Adding to the pressure is the message we get from the media to look a certain way and to do so at all costs. In 2011, Americans spent $2.2 billion on anti-aging and beauty products.

It’s no wonder that when we fully expect our reflection to match our youthful, healthy self-image and it doesn’t, we can feel anxious or embarrassed that we actually care about something so superficial. Aging, after all, is completely natural and a reason to celebrate, not a condition to fight or feel self-conscious about.

This weekend is about finding perspective and learning how to embody our beauty from the inside out. Rather than spend time and money trying to fix things that are not broken, we pamper ourselves, rejuvenate our body and spirit, and remember that when we focus on our health, beauty naturally follows.

With four leading experts in the field—Michelle Phillips, Kat James, Linda Burnham, and Annelise Hagen—we learn the biochemistry of beauty, which leads to cellular-level transformation; natural self-care rituals; special healing treats; exercises; and recipes, all of which we can take home to keep us feeling energetically fresh, emotionally nurtured, and physically nourished. It is never too late to cultivate healthy habits that allow our natural radiance to shine.
