Busy Summertime Schedules? LEARN LIFE HACKS TO SIMPLIFY YOUR SELF-CARE ROUTINE

Listen to “Busy Summertime Schedules? LEARN LIFE HACKS TO SIMPLIFY YOUR SELF-CARE ROUTINE” on Spreaker.

We love our self-care routines, and as a society, we’re obsessed with life hacks to increase productivity and efficiency in all aspects of our lives. However, consumers are pressed for time. A recent CVS Pharmacy survey shows that more than half of Americans spend 30 minutes or less each day on self-care and almost two thirds of people are looking to refresh their current self-care routines.

The top most essential daily self-care routine activities include:

1. Brushing teeth

2. Showering

3. Skincare

4. Haircare

5. Taking vitamins and supplements

An efficient routine is especially important when it comes to taking vitamins. But just like we all misplace our keys, forget to turn the lights off and leave our lunch in the fridge, we often forget to take our vitamins and supplements. In fact, 75% of those who have taken vitamins and supplements in the past year have forgotten to take them.

43% of vitamin and supplement takers say they’re more likely to take them if they were on the kitchen or bathroom counter. While minimalism is often defined as simple and uncluttered, ‘vitaminimalism’ is about simplifying your vitamin & supplement routine – eliminating the clutter of pill bottles and keeping vitamins & supplements front and center.

Dr. Jennifer Caudle will be available to discuss:

1. Results from the recent CVS Pharmacy survey highlighting Americans self-care routines;

2. Why and what makes Americans forget to take their vitamins and supplements routinely;

3. How simple refreshes may help people better stick to their self-care routines; and

4. Putting vitaminimalism to action with smart solutions and routine hacks.

One of these solutions includes a new way of taking vitamins and supplements called QuickServe – a dispensing system which helps maintain a routine and fits naturally into the aesthetic of any home in a place you’ll see every day.

Michelle Harris TV host of Alive and Well TV has tips on creating a spa day at home –how to create an oasis of relaxation and self-care in your own home.
1.Spray your favorite aromatherapy mist or use a diffuser in the room you want to relax in.
2.De-cluttering your space if needed for a more relaxing vibe.
3.Get your fluffiest towels and robe together and add in some relaxing music. This will give you that wonderful feeling of walking into a spa without leaving your home!
4.Michelle recommends a pineapple-lemon- Black Elderberry wellness shot! Pineapple juice is rich in digestive enzymes, lemon is wonderful at detoxification and Black Elderberry syrup is rich in immune supporting antioxidants (and it tastes great). It’s the perfect pick me up for an at home spa day.
Quick homebased treatments:
Home Facials:
Regular facials are one of the keys to good skin. First, gently clean and exfoliate skin.
Next, every facial needs a nice steam to clear pores. This can be as simple as putting your face over a container that has hot water steaming up.
After steaming, nothing feels better than a mask.
Use a favorite brand or make a simple homemade hydrating mask with aloe, avocado and olive oil.
Combine1 tsp fresh aloe, 1 tsp olive oil and ½ of a totally mashed avocado (it will stay on your face more easily). Apply and rinse after 10 minutes for glowing skin!
The final step in any facial is serums and moisturizer. Apply them and your skin will look like you just left the spa.
Happy Hands and Feet
One of Michelle’s her favorite things when getting a spa treatment is those great gloves and/or booties they use with a rich moisturizer to keep your hands and feet soft.
Wear them with a heavy-duty cream made for the body or hands and feet. Don’t forget the cuticles. Many creams made for the hands and feet will contain essential oils like peppermint. This adds to the therapeutic benefit and smells incredible.
Keep gloves or booties on for an hour while watching television, reading, or relaxing. For super soft hands and feet, wear gloves or booties to bed and wakeup with baby soft skin.
Relaxing bubbles
A tub full of bubbles is the perfect way to relax and feel calm. Research even shows that taking a bath on occasion helps to decrease stress, fatigue and muscle pain. Look for bubble baths with natural ingredients and essential oils. Ingredients like oatmeal and coconut are wonderful for soothing skin. Don’t forget to loofah and exfoliate skin while you soak. Add a cup of your favorite herbal tea for even more relaxation.
“We all need to relax and recharge for our health and wellbeing so take care of yourself!” declares Michelle Harris.

Today, the evidence is everywhere that meditation improves health, mental acuity, emotional balance and spiritual connection. Leonard Perlmuttter is one of the Western world’s leading pioneers in the introduction of meditation into the cultural firmament, having founded the American Meditation Institute (AMI) in 1996. AMI’s courses are now approved and accredited by the American Medical Association and the American Nurses Association.
Perlmutter, considered one of West’s foremost guides to understanding the nature of consciousness, now offers a heralded book that is an encyclopedic guide to meditation and the Yoga Science that lies behind it.

The Heart and Science of Yoga: The American Meditation Institute’s Empowering Self-Care Program for a Happy, Healthy, Joyful Life shows us the way to meld meditation and yoga into your busy life experience to bring a new level of peace, contentment and wellbeing.
While most North Americans today perceive Yoga as a valuable source of exercise and quieting of the mind, The Heart and Science of Yoga shows that it is so much more. As it was evolved through ancient wisdom, Yoga Science is an eight-step method for managing the life force energy that propels us and connects us to the infinite power that is within and without us all. And the result of mastering it is the bliss and daily joy that lies in the realization of our connection.

One of the most fascinating revelations of Leonard Perlmutter’s The Heart and Science of Yoga, is that when you intentionally turn away from unhealthy temptations toward a better choice, it’s not a sacrifice or a denial. It is actually transforming your energy into greater potency, will power, physical vitality and unlimited creative potential.
Perlmutter’s comprehensive and practical manual, first published in 2005 to great acclaim, and now revised and expanded, connects the dots for those who seek answers and solutions for finding a better, happier life through meditation and Yoga Science. The Heart and Science of Yoga is a master class.
And meditation is the gateway.
In The Heart and Science of Yoga, you’ll discover:
• How the Bridge of Yoga can always lead you to your highest and greatest good
• The 8 different Yoga Science steps that prepare you to lead a life of daily bliss
• The best and easiest ways to anchor meditation in your life-even if you are prone to drift!
• The right mantra for you—and why a mantra makes such a profound difference
• The keys to AMI’s world renowned Meditation System
• How stillness is the Divine Physician
Perlmutter’s great sense of humor and down-to-earth approach is appealing and approachable.
Filled with anecdotes, parables, gentle loving encouragement and surprises, The Heart and Science of Yoga is both an eye-opener and a companion. It’s the ultimate ladder to achieving mastery over your inner and outer worlds-and living in a daily state of transcendence.
