A routine you have perfected?

My selection of beauty tonics!

Hydration and water intake is vital for our health, wellbeing and beauty. I've always had a hard time staying hydrated though because I don't particularly enjoy the taste of water and I found myself needing a solution, so I decided I wanted something a bit more fun! Thanks to this routine, I've observed a noticeable affection on my skin's condition, I start glowing from within and I look more radiant when I make sure to stay hydrated and keep up with this little routine. It's fantastic for digestion, overall health, hair growth and boosting your energy levels. I like to keep things interesting and routinely update this list until I’m satisfied but here are my beauty boosting beverages at the moment.

Collagen peptide drinks. essential amino acids for the health of my joints, skin, hair, nails.

Probiotic yoghurt drinks. supports gut flora balance, aids in digestion with live cultures.

Cold brew green tea. rich in catechins, enhances fat burning, refreshing energy boost.

Seasoned beef bone broth marrow. loaded with collagen and minerals, packed with nutrients.

Pomegranate glow tonic. packed with punicalagins and antioxidants, fights free radicals.

Rosehip Tea. high in vitamin C and antioxidants, aids in collagen production.

Turmeric shots. curcumin has anti-inflammatory properties esp. with black pepper.

Chia seed water. rich in omega-3 fatty acids and soluble fiber, keeps you feeling full.

Sparkling mint infusion. refreshing, hydrating, delicious beverage to add a burst of flavor.

I keep a separate list dedicated to focus/mental health and bedtime; but these are my top favorites that I make regularly, I like to keep it simple for the days I'm on the go. I love experimenting with new smoothie recipes too, though I see fruit smoothies more as a treat than a health drink.I truly enjoy making orange juice in the winter because it’s fresh, tasty, and packed with antioxidants. However, I acknowledge that eating the whole fruit is better since juicing removes the natural fiber, which concentrates the sugar and can spike blood sugar levels. I avoid coffee entirely and stick to drinking tea in the mornings and at noon since I’m quite sensitive to caffeine - If I have it in the afternoon, I can’t sleep at night. I’m also getting my braces removed very soon and want to keep my teeth unstained before beginning the intense whitening process.
