Healthy thinking does NOT mean positive thinking! No one can look at things positively all the time. Sometimes bad things happen, (marriage ends, job loss, and argument or a loss of a loved one) It's normal and healthy to feel upset and have negative thoughts when these things happen.

It's about viewing the world in a balanced way.So today, let us look at the common traps we all find ourselves in, asking ourselves these important questionsWhat is the situation? What actually happened? Only include facts that everyone would agree on.What are your thoughts? What are you telling yourself?What are your emotions? How do you feel?What are your behaviours? How are you reacting? What are you doing to cope?And getting out.We can all do this!

For those who need a little taste, here is a brief excerpt:EXCERPT FROM SOCIAL CURRENCYBeauty is our focus as women. Not by choice, but by conditioning. We’re told being beautiful is our ticket to acceptance. Our natural tendency is a desire towards being chosen for the unique form of beauty we express. Which is why women both respect and desire the social currency of beauty. But this desire has been harnessed against us - it’s been emphasized and prioritized by culture to the extent that it’s expected from all women, all the time, in every scenario. What started as a tendency and a basic desire has mutated into a craving, an addiction fed by every message convincing women they aren’t enough until they’re beautiful...and once they are, they better fight like hell to not let it slip away.XO Michael & Mickayla

The heart of a champion is in all of us! But what separates the true greats? The ones who rise above everyone else. The ones who never accept defeat because winning is so ingrained in their DNA that its just what they do.They Win!I recently watched the documentary "The Last Dance." The story of the last championship season from the legendary Chicago Bulls in the late nineties. Led by Michael Jordan, the documentary follows the trials, tribulations and amazing success that the team had during that season. But more than anything it followed the never give up, leave everything on the court, losing is not an option mentality that Michael Jordan had in every day of his life.This mindset is true in other greats in every sport. So come with me today as we look at the small changes we all can implement to be a GREAT in everything we do!xo Michael & Mickayla

Feeling good, smelling delicious and looking our best makes us feel great. There is nothing wrong with that. But have we ever stopped and looked at what is in some of our beauty products?Actually understood the ingredients and took the time to make sure that what we use on the daily is actually good for us?In the past, both of us never did but as we have become more conscious of what we put in or on our body we have found some SCARY ingredients that have no place near us.Because of this, we have started a series called TOXIC BEAUTY to tackle specific daily products we us that may have ingredients we want to avoid and clear alternatives to switch too.In this podcast we mentioned a couple interesting studies that helped with our research. find them below: 1. Parabens 2. Aluminum 3. Carcinogen 4. Glycol 5. FDA regulationsWe did mention attaching links of alternatives to our daily products that don't contain the harsh ingredients.
