Today we’re talking the magical element that affects EVERYTHING else you do: beauty sleep. As we all have a million things on our plates each day, our time in bed almost always gets the short end of the stick. However, it’s SO important that we respect our mind, body, and soul’s non-negotiable need for deep, restorative sleep. Of course, wanting to get enough rest isn’t the same as actually doing it, which is why I’m sharing my six tips on how to cultivate the perfect bedtime routine!

The ocean naturally relaxes the mind and spirit. Taking yoga, specifically "yin" or restorative yoga, to the beach will help calm you even more–especially if you’re feeling stressed out or overwhelmed. The rhythmic crashing of the waves will actually ease your brain into alpha waves, slowing down the parasympathetic system, along with your entire body. Sync your breath with the ocean waves while flowing through these 5 poses that will have you feeling oh-so-zen within minutes.

During the summertime, when I want to fully take advantage of the gorgeous long days and play outside for as long as I can, I prefer quick + easy meals. Enter our Summertime Salmon Bagel.

Plus, this oh-so-yummy high protein meal can be pulled together in five minutes flat!
