Social Distancing 101

WHAT IN THE HECK IS SOCIAL DISTANCING?

---

WHAT IS SOCIAL DISTANCING?

Put simply, the idea is to maintain a distance between you and other people — in this case, at least six feet.

That also means minimizing contact with people. Avoid public transportation whenever possible, limit nonessential travel, work from home and skip social gatherings — and definitely do not go to crowded bars and sporting arenas.

Other measures include working from home if possible, organizing meetings via video calls rather than doing them in person and avoiding unnecessary use of public transport.

It is also recommended that you avoid physical contact with others in social situations, including handshakes, hugs & kisses.

GOT KIDS? HERE'S SOME FUN WAYS TO KEEP THEM BUSY.

---

1. Go for a walk or a hike.

2. Go for a bike ride.

3. Go outside, no matter what the weather. If it's nice outside, play catch or hide-and-seek.

4. Movie theaters are limiting the number of tickets they sell in order to practice good social distancing, but with DisneyPlus, Netflix and Amazon, you have plenty of options at home. Make it even more fun by making some special treats to share.

5. Speaking of special treats, get your kids in the kitchen. You'll be making lots of meals while at home, so why not let the kids share in the "fun?" Give them the run of the pantry and fridge. Do give a few limits though. Like they have to have at least one healthy item.

6. For the past decade, the Racine Art Museum has invited artists to make their best creations out of marshmallow Peeps. Check out the photos for inspiration, and make your own.

7. Hand over your phone to let the kids take photos of the signs of spring they see popping up around the neighborhood.

8. Let the kids collect a few of those signs of spring they see — dandelions, blades of grass, flowers if they're on your property — and make a nature scrapbook out of them.

9. Fly a kite.

10. Set up a tent in the backyard.

11. Dig into those toys, puzzles and games that have gotten buried under beds, in basements and at the bottom of toy boxes. You might find some treasures that will fill up some of those hours. If not, set them aside to donate.

12. Bubbles are fun for all ages. You can go old-school and just blow some bubbles in the backyard. You can get a hula hoop and a wading pool and make some giant ones.

13. Grab blankets, chairs and pillows and build a fort.

14. Make a homemade pinata out of papier mache, fill it with candy and break that thing open.

15. Start cleaning up your yard and planning any gardening projects. If you have seeds on hand, start planting when the weather cooperates.

16. Kids love acting, singing and putting on shows, especially if they have an audience. Be that audience; karma will reward your sacrifice.

17. Comic books and graphic novels are mainstream nowadays. And they're a great way to encourage your kids to read. When they've gotten some inspiration through reading some of their favorites, encourage them to make their own.

18. You may not be able to visit your favorite paint-your-own pottery place, but you can find some old mugs or bowls to have the kids paint at home.

19. Clean out your closet. But hold off on the donations. Let your kids play dress-up for a few weeks. If they lose interest, that's cool. That's the time to donate. Otherwise, let them keep a few favorites for their dress-up collection.

STAY CALM.

Stay calm, stay sane. Hopefully we will get through this soon.

Keep your hands clean, moisturized & off your beautiful face!

WASH OFTEN TO STAY HEALTHY.

---

You can help you & your loved ones stay healthy by washing your hands often (and washing them well), especially during these key times when you are more likely to spread germs.

These key times include:

• Before, during & after preparing food

• Before eating food

• Before & after caring for someone at home who is sick

• Before & after treating a cut or wound

• After using the toilet

• After changing diapers or cleaning up a child who has used the toilet

• After blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing

• After touching an animal, animal feed or animal poo

• After handling pet food or pet treats

• After touching garbage

---

WASH YOUR HANDS THE RIGHT WAY.

---

Washing your hands is easy, and it’s one of the most effective ways to prevent the spread of germs. Clean hands can stop germs from spreading from one person to another & throughout an entire community—from your home and workplace to childcare facilities & hospitals.

Follow these five steps every time.

1. Wet your hands with clean, running water (warm or cold), turn off the tap & apply soap.

2. Lather your hands by rubbing them together with the soap. Lather the backs of your hands, between your fingers & under your nails.

3. Scrub your hands for at least 20 seconds. Need a timer? Hum the “Happy Birthday” song from beginning to end twice.

4. Rinse your hands well under clean, running water.

5. Dry your hands using a clean towel or air dry them.

---

CDC recommendation:

Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds especially after you have been in a public place, or after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.

USE HAND SANITIZER WHEN YOU CANT USE SOAP & WATER
(GOOD LUCK FINDING IT).

---

Washing hands with soap & water is the best way to get rid of germs in most situations. If soap & water are not readily available, you can use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. Check if the sanitizer contains at least 60% alcohol by looking at the product label.

Sanitizers can quickly reduce the number of germs in many situations. However,

• Sanitizers do not get rid of all types of germs.

• Hand sanitizers may not be as effective when hands are visibly dirty or greasy.

• Hand sanitizers might not remove harmful chemicals like pesticides & heavy metals.

How to use hand sanitizer

• Apply the gel product to the palm of one hand.

• Rub your hands together.

• Rub the gel over all the surfaces of your hands & fingers until your hands are dry. This should take around 20 seconds.

---

How to Make Your Own Hand Sanitizer

If you can’t purchase hand sanitizer because it’s all sold out, you can make your own at home. It will also require a trip to the drug store (or your favorite online marketplace) to pick up a few ingredients. “Recipes” for your own hand sanitizer may vary slightly. The most important thing to remember is you need to create a mixture that’s at least 60% alcohol.

---

INGREDIENTS

• 91% or higher isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) or ethanol alcohol

• Aloe vera gel or glycerin

• Essential oils (optional)

• Bowl and spoon

• Storage bottle or container

• Funnel (optional)

---

Step 1.

Combine ⅔ cup of 91% or higher alcohol with ⅓ cup of aloe vera gel or glycerin in a bowl and stir until blended.

Getting your ratios right in this step is critical. By combining two parts of 91% or higher alcohol with one part softening agent, you’ll land at about 60% alcohol content in the final product. Hand sanitizer that’s less than 60% alcohol will not be effective.

You can also increase the alcohol content to about 68% by combining ¾ cup of 91% or higher alcohol with ¼ cup of aloe or glycerin. Aloe or glycerin helps prevent the alcohol from drying out your skin.

Step 2.

Optional: Add 5-10 drops of essential oils to reduce the smell of alcohol.

If you’re sensitive to the strong smell of alcohol, you can add several drops of essential oils to your hand sanitizer. Do not add too much essential oil or you will dilute the alcohol content of your sanitizer below the 60% alcohol threshold. It’s important to note the active ingredient here is the alcohol, not the essential oils.

Step 3.

Bottle your hand sanitizer mixture.

Once your hand sanitizer is mixed and complete, pour the mixture into a container or bottle for use. You can purchase an empty bottle with a squirt top or pump from your local drug store or recycle a washed-out hand sanitizer bottle. If you have a funnel on hand, it can make it easier to pour the hand sanitizer into your storage containers. Once it’s bottled, your hand sanitizer is ready to use!

✌🏼 General Advice (probably the most common). ✌🏼

---

APPLY SPF EVERYDAY, NO MATTER WHAT.

Sunscreen is the closest thing we have to a fountain of youth. It really can slow down skin aging. It can also help prevent skin cancer. Look for a sunscreen that offers broad-spectrum protection, SPF 30 & water resistance.

Don't smoke. Smoking speeds up how quickly your skin ages. If you smoke, your wounds will also take longer to heal. Smoking can also make some skin diseases worse.

Check your skin for skin cancer.

Skin self-exams can help you find skin cancer early when it's potentially treatable. If you notice a spot that differs from the others, or one that changes/itches or bleeds, make an appointment to see a dermatologist ASAP!

---

Stress less. Some skin diseases often appear for the first time when someone feels really stressed. Stress can also cause flare-ups of many common skin conditions.

---

Protect your skin from pollution 🚛💨

Keep your phone clean & keep your skin clear. Wipe your phone down at least once a day to keep the screen free of dirt, debris & makeup that could potentially clog your precious pores.

---

Stop touching your face.

Clean your makeup brushes 🖌

---

Go to bed early 😴

✌🏼 Not-So-Common Advice. ✌🏼

---

Turn down YOUR heat to stop skin redness.

Use non-toxic cleaning products.

---

CONSIDER YOUR WATER…

… and tailor your skin-care products accordingly. Soft water doesn’t remove soap well, so it can leave a residue on your skin.

Hard water, on the other hand, doesn’t allow washes to lather easily, prompting you to use even more cleanser, which can cause dryness.

Switch to Plain Toothpaste

Those with tartar-control ingredients or added flavors, like cinnamon, may contribute to a common skin condition called perioral dermatitis. It looks like pimples, redness & scaling around the mouth.

Our personal favorite is Truth Paste.

Improve Your Air Quality

Indoor pollutants can adversely affect skin, too. Change the air filter in your furnace regularly &, if you cook with oil, use the fan over your range. Also keep in mind that dry indoor air can dehydrate skin & make fine lines more noticeable. Run a humidifier in your bedroom to minimize these problems.

Check Your Medicine.

Some contraceptives, antibiotics, fertility drugs, & anti-seizure meds can cause breakouts. Diuretics & Antihistamines can cause dry skin. And certain antibiotics, diuretics & diabetes treatments can make you vulnerable to sun damage. If you find your skin is reacting while you’re taking a particular drug, talk to your physician.

🤚 Don’t Forget the Tops of Your Hands! 🤚

Wash with a moisturizing hand soap.

It’s important to keep your hands clean, but using an antibacterial hand soap can dry out your skin. Instead, wash your hands with a moisturizing soap that contains hydrating ingredients, such as shea butter, olive oil, or aloe vera, to avoid stripping the natural oils from your skin.

Avoid using hot water!
This can also dry out your skin. Wash with lukewarm water instead.

Don't worry about washing your hands too much–it's important to wash regularly to keep your hands as free of germs as possible. At the very least, you should wash your hand before you eat & after you use the restroom. You should also wash after changing a diaper, when you are ill, interacting with animals, or anytime that your hands appear dirty.

Apply a hand crème regularly. To ensure that your hands stay soft, you should use a hand crème several times a day. Look for a formula that contains emollient ingredients, such as glycerin, shea butter & natural oils. Massage the crème in after you wash your hands in the morning & before you go to bed at night. If your hands start to feel dry during the day, reapply then as well.

🧤 WEAR GLOVES WHEN DOING CHORES 🧤

Whether you’re washing dishes, doing yard work, or working with tools, always put on a pair of protective gloves first. That will keep your hands from getting dry, cracked, and callused.

For chores that require submerging your hands in water … plastic or rubber gloves are the best option.

For light yard work & gardening, cloth gloves are usually effective in protecting your hands from dirt & grime.

Looking for something environmentally friendly? Here are some great Sustainable Gardening Gloves from West Country Gardner. Made from recycled plastic bottles!

You should also wear gloves or mittens to protect your hands from cold weather, which can dry out your hands too. Knit & leather gloves can both work well, but look for a pair with an insulated lining in material such as fleece to provide the most warmth & protection.

---

🦶🏽 For those dainty feet of yours 🦶🏽

Besides kicking back & giving your feet a rest, here are some tips that can help ease the ache & rejuvenate tired feet.

Employ moist heat!

Sometimes achy feet are the result of overstressed muscles & connective tissue due to excess activity.. One of the absolute best remedies for relaxing sore muscles is a foot bath. Soak your feet in a basin of warm water or a store-bought foot spa for 5 - 10 min.

---

Stretch ‘EM OUT!

Overstressed muscles will tend to contract or spasm. To counteract this tightness, stretch your feet. A good time to stretch is after a warm soak when your muscles will be relaxed. Sit in a comfortable position and stretch the ankle and toe joints using your hands or a strap. To also target the calf muscles, try a runner's stretch while leaning against a wall. Hold each motion comfortably for 10 to 20 seconds for maximum benefit.

---

WORK ‘EM out!

Exercises for your ankles, feet, and toes will help stretch, strengthen, and relax them. Try these moves:

While standing, rise up on your toes, lifting your heels off the ground.

Do ankle pumps, moving your foot up and down.

---

Pick up objects with your toes & move them from one pile to another.

---

Toe raise, point, and curl

---

Make circles with your ankles.

---

Roll the bottom of your foot on a frozen water bottle💧 tennis ball🎾 or ON A TUBE OF NATURAL INSPIRATIONS FOOT BALM 🦶🏽

---

Wash THOSE STINKY feet!

Make a point to wash your feet (don’t forget to scrub between your toes!) with a washcloth. Yes, that absolutely means bending over in the shower to soap them up. Be sure to dry feet completely, including between the toes. This process lessens problems such as athlete's foot, odor, bacteria & yucky fungus. Look for foot products that have natural anti-fungal and anti-bacterial ingredients like arnica, calendula or tea tree oils to help your tootsies feel fresh and fabulous.

Sea Salt Citrus Foot Balm

$20.00

Moisturize your feet after washing.

During dry-skin winter months, you may want to moisturize several times a day. Look for ingredients like Coconut Oil, Shea Butter or Cocoa Butter to nourish cracked heels and rough calluses.

---

ALL about Shoes …

Flip-flops and completely flat shoes don't provide arch support.

Neither does walking barefoot. Women are especially prone to developing flat feet, which can lead to other foot problems. To keep feet strong and healthy, minimize the amount of time you wear shoes that lack supportive arches.

SWITCH UP the shoes you wear.

That may mean having two pairs of your favorite everyday style, but shoes need time to air out to avoid triggering foot odor or infections. Change socks or stockings more than once a day. If you have a problem with smelly feet, soak them in a mixture of vinegar and water.

Your feet should not hurt—ever.

Tight shoes can worsen bunions, distort toe shape and cause painful foot growths. If you wear high heels, choose heels that are wide, stable and no higher than two inches. Toe boxes should be wide; pointed toes shouldn't begin their narrowing shape until well past the ball of the foot. To protect your Achilles tendon from shortening, alternate heel heights regularly.

Wear the right sized shoes!

Overuse: Increased walking or standing, especially when combined with other contributing factors, can cause even the healthiest feet to become sore. Also, walking or standing on hard surfaces, such as concrete, can stress your feet. This can be a problem for those who stand all day at work or are generally on their feet for long periods of time.

---

Buy arch supports!

Try a pair of over-the-counter arch supports for your shoes. Arch supports will help decrease the shock that your feet experience with every step. The heel & ball of the foot are especially prone to soreness & full-length arch supports will help cushion these areas. If your problem still bothers you, see a podiatrist & discuss custom-made orthotics.

Consider acupuncture:

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine practice that can be of benefit for foot pain.

Acupuncture has very few side effects, so it may be worth a try if you're having trouble controlling pain with traditional methods.

Healthy Skin Month: For your Lovely Neck & Chest

EVERYDAY TIPS FOR HEALTHY SKIN.

🌟 For Your Lovely Neck & Chest 🌟

Don't neglect your neck if you want to stay looking youthful.

Most of us are guilty of stopping our skincare routine as soon as we hit our chin, which may not seem like an issue if you're in your 20s, 30s & 40s. But as you age you will begin to see aging on your neck & chest and wish you'd paid those areas the same attention as you do your face. You can use the same products that you use on your face.

Be vigilant about moisturizing.

Did you know that your neck has fewer glands than the skin on your face? Because of this, the neck is more susceptible dryness & irritation (& more prone to scarring). Use a moisturizer to keep dryness at bay.

Choose the right products & understand their ingredients.

It’s important to remember that there are not “blind controlled studies” backing the products, but only the brand’s research. We research based on what’s good for your skin to absorb, not what benefits us. Check out our ingredient philosophy page to learn more.

THE PROBLEMS WITH TECH NECK

Limit your screen time! It is the biggest cause of “tech neck.”

Tech neck refers to skin laxity & lines that occur from looking down at your computer or your phone for long periods of time. Any repetitive movement or contraction of underlying muscles has the potential to cause skin lines & wrinkles over time.

---

S P F ! S P F ! S P F ! S P F ! S P F ! S P F ! S P F ! S P F ! S P F ! S P F ! S P F ! S P F !

☀️SPF is your best friend—the premature lines caused by hunching over your IG feed are only made worse by sun damage. Using daily SPF will also help protect the skin from sun damage, which causes collagen breakdown & eventually lines & laxity.

In this day & age when sunscreen is in basically everything, you really have no excuse, my dear. Protect your neck.

Healthy Skin Month: Tips for that Beautiful Face & Scrumptious Lips

EVERYDAY TIPS FOR HEALTHY SKIN.

---

👩 For That Beautiful Face 👩

---

Wash your face when waking, before bed & after sweating.

Washing when you wake up in the morning removes the dirt & bacteria that settle on your face while sleeping. Before bed, you want to remove all makeup & grime, such as smog, smoke, or dirt. Need we explain why washing your face is good to do after sweating?

IMPORTANT! Gently wash your face.

Gentle cleansing helps skin look its absolute best. We’re serious!

To gently cleanse your face, wet it with lukewarm water. Then apply your cleanser of choice, applying the cleanser in a circular motion with your fingers. Complete your routine by rinsing off the cleanser & patting your skin dry with your favorite soft, clean towel.

Wear sunnies to stop under-eye wrinkles. 😎

---

Use a jade roller for your under eye bags.

---

Sweat it out! 🚴‍♀️🧘‍♀️

---

GET CAFFEINATED TO LOOK WIDE AWAKE.

Your best bet when it comes to getting rid of puffiness? Try a shot of caffeine – and we don’t mean the one in your morning latte. Caffeine constricts the vessels beneath the eye, which are responsible for causing the darker appearance.

Look for an eye cream with caffeine near the top of the ingredient list – that way you know it plays a starring role in the formula.

---

Massage your face for circulation.

A Face massage can boost circulation & help tone the muscles in your face & neck. Spending even just
5 minutes a night will help improve skin’s elasticity.
Just like your body, the muscles in your face can become lazy with age. Adding this simple step to your routine will hugely improve the firmness of your skin.

Exfoliate for smaller pores. Enlarged pores are actually one of the most common skin complaints for men & women.

Pores appear larger when they're filled with dirt, oil, dead skin cells & keratin (a protein that lives on the surface of skin). Remove that yucky build-up so your pores have the ability to shrink.

To clear out the gunk, exfoliate 2-3x a week. Reach for a gentle exfoliator–like our Coconut Ambre Vanille Body & Face Scrub with activated charcoal. The charcoal will help you suck out the yuck. Hello, glowing skin!

👄 For Those Scrumptious Lips 👄

---

Coat Your Lips With a Lip Butter Before Applying Lipstick.

This will ensure you that your lips are moisturized in spite of the Lipstick. Apply a Lip Butter for a moisturizing pout or even one of our Moisturizing Lip Tints. If you choose to wear Lipstick, avoid Matte (as they tend to dry out lips). Try a Crème or Satin finish.

For Natural Pink Lips, Stay Away From Dark Colors.

Dark & pigmented Lipsticks may snatch the pinkish tinge from your natural lips, eventually leading to pigmented lips. Use Soft Colors or even Nudes. Our softer tones include Shimmer & Champagne.

EXFOLIATE FOR soft, smoochable lips

Lip scrubbing helps you to get rid of dead skin cells and leftover makeup. It helps your lip balm penetrate and re-balances that lipid layer. There are two steps to effectively exfoliate your lips:

1. Using a damp cloth or soft-bristled toothbrush, gently rub off any leftover makeup residue, dead or dry skin. This technique will also boost circulation to your lips.

2. Once you’re done sloughing your lips, smooth on a hydrating lip butter or conditioner to lock in moisture. When going outdoors, make sure to apply a lip butter that has an SPF to protect your lips from the harmful sun (we recommend ours)!

---

Moisturize with Aloe Vera …

You can purchase pure aloe vera gel or even crack a leaf from an aloe plant in your home for this remedy. Aloe vera has soothing & healing properties, helping lips to look their best.

OR with Vitamin E!

If you have vitamin E capsules, you can simply cut one open & apply the product right to your lips. Vitamin E boosts circulation & may help generate new skin cells, making your lips softer.

Quit LICKING your lips WHEN THEY FEEL DRY.

---

apply A GENEROUS AMOUNT OF lip butter before bed.

🍋 Wake up lips with citrus 🍋

Using a few drops of lemon juice, you can make your lips appear brighter and slough off dead skin. Just rub the lemon juice on to your skin and watch your skin brighten up before your eyes. You can also try using our SPF 30 Grapefruit, Citrus or Key Lime Lip Butter for this purpose as well 🥰
