Eggsellent Egg Salad (2 options)
You guys are amazing! The reason I say this is because after I posted to my Instagram stories yesterday the step by step egg salad I was throwing together, I got SO many responses wanting an actual recipe written out to refer back to. So here I am, doing something I’ve never done before- attempting to blog a recipe! I am going to highlight the version I posted to my stories yesterday and give you a few healthier ways you can adjust the recipe. I must say though, this recipe is extremely clean and healthy- its just got more fat in it than some are comfortable with. I however, am…

THE CURRENT CONVERSATION: LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE
Lymphatic drainage is the current conversation in the beauty world. The thing I love about this industry is how things cycle back around. Lymphatic drainage is being talked about like it’s this brand new breakthrough facial massage that contours and lifts the face, but it’s not. It’s been around FOREVER. I remember in esthetician school 12 years ago learning about it, and back then it was historic. Every esthetician knows about lymphatic drainage, however not every esthetician sees the value in making it a massive part of their facial treatment. Today I want to talk ALL THINGS LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE, and why you desperately need it in your life. Our…

“YOU’RE FAT!”
“YOU’RE FAT!” The words that echoed as I swung on the swings when I was in second grade. I remember it like it was yesterday. I also remember just before, gazing out at the world every time that swing hit the high point. I felt free and so full of joy. Within moments those feelings were stolen through some very hurtful words. I imagine that kid today doesn’t remember saying those words to me. Why would he? We’ve all said things we don’t remember. Mostly we don’t remember because they didn’t affect us or attach us to a specific feeling like his words did to me. I HATE THOSE…

THREE HEALTH/BEAUTY PRODUCTS I SWEAR BY
There are 3 things that I do every single day. Literally, every day. Every single morning, and every single night like clockwork, there are 3 things that go down in the Werhas household. My new husband probably thinks I’m a complete maniac holistic hippie. He has yet to question me, so I am just going to continue doing my thing. I truly believe these 3 things have drastically improved my health, quality of life, and contributed to looking years younger than I am. So why waste your time and mine? I am going to get right to it. 1. COLLAGEN And not just any collagen. This is not a product…

THE ANTI-AGING POWER OF FOOD
I just turned 34 about a month ago. I’ve been cognizant for over 10 years of the importance of starting young when it comes to preventing aging. However, being aware that I am rapidly approaching my mid-thirties and working in an industry, as well as living in a city, that overemphasizes the value of looking young at all stages of life, I can’t help but feel the pressure to know more and do more. With this being on my mind often, I can’t help but continue to go back to what I find so intriguing… the power of food. I have written and preached for years about the healing powers…

BEAUTY IS NOT THE SIZE OF MY JEANS
I’m over it. Worrying about what I’ll look like in a bikini on my upcoming honeymoon. Feeling intense, gut-wrenching guilt because I had dessert. Or even feeling intense, gut-wrenching guilt because I had grains after 3:00pm. I’m over it. Feeling like I can’t be your friend, because I’m not as pretty as you. Feeling like I’m not as good at my job because my clothes aren’t as expensive. And feeling like I’m certainly not as healthy as you because I eat bread. I am so, totally over it. Here’s the bottom line (pun intended): The size of my jeans won’t heal the sick. It won’t end poverty.…

GO WITH YOUR GUT FEELING
Ok girls, this is a topic I feel as though I am constantly repeating myself on. Over and over, all day, every single day, I am sharing on this topic as if it’s brand new information that will change your life forever. I do that because, it is in fact, life-changing. I remember when I was 25, destroying my gut. I literally, permanently destroyed my gut. I made the foolish decision to have a surgery I did not need and ended up with an expensive 3 week stay in the hospital in isolation getting treated for MRSA. You treat MRSA with antibiotics. Not just any antibiotics, but the kind…
