Memorable Quotes

"One of my first tips and most important tips is the fact that sun exposure is really, really bad for your skin. The reason being is that 80% of UV rays is coming into your skin daily, right? If you're not using sunscreen." – Mary Cristine

"Sleep is incredible in many ways. It makes our skin look better. We look refreshed. We're more stable, hydrated. We don't have the under eye dark circles.” – Mary Cristine

"The problem with gummies as well, I'd like to add to that, is that they do say that there are gummies that are sugar-free, but the problem with the sugar-free gummies is that it contains citric acid, which is eventually really bad for your enamel of your teeth. So that causes a lot of problems for that too.” – Mary Cristine

"Being present with them, being able to, what I wanna try to do and I'm doing it, spend more time. The greatest gift you can give anyone is your presence. And we're also busy in our lives that it's difficult at times.” - Louie Schwartzberg

"There's a tremendous amount of knowledge that's literally beneath our feet that we need to protect. So, my spiritual practice is to protect life, and I want life to flourish. And what is life? Life is DNA going forward. So, you could say it's evolution. Life is a force of energy because it's unstoppable.” - Louie Schwartzberg
