I’ve had to take a seat at the table, the boys club table, many, many times …more often than not, my talent, allure + kindness is what won everyone over.. (leather pencil-skirts work, too) but what I'm getting at: you don’t have to be a total bitch to get what you want.

Make a seat for yourself: Create space for your name on the roster.

It will be painful, triumphant and not easy ... but it will be done!

It has been done by many, many women before our time. 

Commend them, support them, love them... women. Brave, beautiful, smart and hot, leading women. 

1- make a seat

2- earn respect 

3- become a commodity 

4- smarter and serious 

5- be honest 

6- honor yourself 

7- honor other women 

 

that's it, this week -- you fill in these blanks, and you tell me, on paper, how the f you're going to accomplish this at the boys table. 

have fun babes, bc we still get to wear lipstick and heels + turn a lot of heads. smart + beautiful women are the most dangerous thing on this planet X ck 

Hi babes!

Better ways to cope through the pain, because we are all human, we all hurt and we all can accept + grow, constant... #wabisabi

See you back reporting on E! News Tues!! xx

“Cleansing” it's not just green juices -- we’ve evolved to lifestyle cleansing for 2019.  Hotter. Smarter. Better -- here's how: 

We associate cleansing with short term weight loss ...But history shows us that cleansing is really about ridding the mind-body-spirit of anything that is harmful. Cleansing should now be safely adopted as a way to optimize our health. Cleansing should keep us stronger, vibrant and vital for life.

Historically, pleasure and health are intrinsically linked and 2019 is bringing back ancient cleansing methods -- that are trending like crazy!

Our ancestors have been real deal cleansing for centuries..

I’m just here to report on those ancient traditions, making a modern cleansing comeback:

Cleansing that’s pleasurable, ancient and DELISH is the new lifestyle: here 2019’s best trends to cleanse!

1- MATCHA CLEANSE!

Show Graphic!

• The Matcha Cleanse: Swapping Matcha for Coffee -- this is the hottest and easiest way to get your beauty routine boosted, naturally, clear your mental focus and get more nutrients!
• Ritualistic beverage -- Trendyyy for 2019!
• Traditionally made with a bamboo whisk, bowl and hot water -- CK Matcha demo!
• Has 10x the amount of antioxidants as a standard cup of green leaf tea!!! Because you’re ingesting the whole leaf!

• Matcha gives you longer, sustained energy throughout the day, unlike coffee that causes a steep boost in energy and a hard crash
• More antioxidants in matcha than in coffee, getting the full nutritional value of green tea leaf
• • May boost metabolism and may burn calories/fat
  • May help in fighting off free radicals

Also, this is a time to spend a few extra bucks on the good stuff like Matcha Love! It’s worth the splurge - don’t go for the cheap imitation matcha, you won’t gain the same benefits!

 

2- WHAT TO EAT: SOUP TO BEAUTY + ADD FERMENTED FOODS

 

“cleansing” with sugary juices is deprivation!… of calories, of flavor, of pleasures. It doesn’t have to be that way. You can get red carpet ready in a healthy, pleasurable way. Soup is my secret weapon.

 

Here’s why: SOUP TO CLEANSE:

• BONE BROTH BASED SOUPS CONTAIN COLLAGEN!! Its my secret ingredient to beautiful skin, glowing hair and healthy nails!!
• Bone broth promotes healthy digestion Protects your joints & strengthen your bones: HEALTHY GUT - you can add fresh ginger and turmeric too!
• VEGGIE BASED Souping is great for these colder months with nutrients and fiber and you can opt for a gazpacho during the summer time.

 

• When you juice: You will shed water weight -- when juicing -- but will likely gain it back!
• WATCH OUT FOR HIGH SODIUM SOUP
• + IF YOU’RE VEGAN try our carrot ginger soup + soups with beta carotene for a glow!

  

EAT MORE FERMENTED FOODS

• Fermented Foods: Why? the smartest way to cleanse everyday  -- our ancient ancestors practiced this: trends include: kombucha tea, ACV, fro yo with probiotics + miso is on the rise as a huge trend ingredient for 2019
  • Miso is a protein rich soy bean paste that provides the gut with beneficial bacteria to help the body stay healthy.
  • Healthy gut is linked to mental and physical wellbeing.
  • Miso is packed with health benefits, as it is a fermented food containing probiotics (good bacteria) which keep your gut flora happy, your immunity up and your digestive system healthy.
  • Miso has anti-inflammatory benefits and is full of nutrients like zinc, copper, vitamin k, manganese, protein and fiber.

 

3- RELAX AND ADD RITUALS TO YOUR ROUTINE:  

It’s just as important to relax and chill this year as our ancestors have, here are some simple ways our ancestors have continuously learned to relax

My Japanese ancestors have been reaping the benefits of Hot Springs and Onsen Baths for thousands of years. If you’re not traveling to Japan anytime soon, you can warm up your tub with some lavender + epsom salt and reap some of the same benefits including:

• Reduce more stress and relax the way my Japanese ancestors have
• Increasing circulation HELPS you to stay regular//cleansing
• If you’re feeling adventurous, find your nearest hot spring LIKE MY JAPANESE ANCESTORS DID!

These are all realistic and easy to follow! Choose what YOU want to focus on for 2019 --

No rules! Cleanse your whole lifestyle and feel good the way our ancestors once did! Pick up Kintsugi Wellness ASAP + SHOP TheMatchaShoppe.com  to support this free podcast and get the matcha cleanse! xx
