1 . Drink more water
2. Start practicing self-care Sundays
3. Buy a matching set of clothes
A matching set of clothes always make me feel extra put together. Even if they are a pair of comfy matching sweats, I always feel extra elevated!
4. Create a daily skincare routine
5. Clean a pair of white shoes
Some bleach and dish soap can make them look brand new again.
6. Create a detox drink
Blend ginger, turmeric, black pepper and water for a powerful immune booster.
7. Start using rosemary oil on your scalp
Applying a rosemary oil blend to your scalp helps promote natural hair growth. You can blend rosemary oil with another oil (coconut, or olive oil) if you wish to dilute it. As always, test your skin before full use. This high-quality rosemary oil is a best seller for good reason!
8. Drink infused water
Strawberry-infused water is my favorite. Not only does it taste good, but it can help you drink more water.
9. Give yourself a mani-pedi
Save $60 and do it at home.
10. Bleach all your white socks
White socks need extra love. Give yourself a cleaner appearance by always keeping your whites extra bright.
11. Start scraping your tongue
This tongue scraper is a must! I can’t look back at when I didn’t scrape my tongue. Tongue scraping, among many benefits, helps reduce bad breath and excess bacteria in your mouth while cleaning your tongue palate too.
12. Make a homemade skin mask
13. Whiten your teeth naturally white baking soda
14. Use a scalp massager in the shower

15. Practice self-reflection every morning
16. Buy organics
17. Cut out bad oils and deep-fried foods
Switch canola oil, vegetable oil, or grape-seed oil for Olive, Avocado, Coconut or Ghee.
18. Correct your posture
19. Incorporate low-intensity exercise into your daily routine
Some people think they need to do high-intensity work outs to be in shape or lose weight. Sometimes all it takes is a daily walk outside or a treadmill walk to do just that.
20. Brush your hair each night
21. Use a wooden comb at night (Neem wood is best)
Wooden combs remove excess oils and help to stimulate hair growth. Make sure your comb is from neem wood for strong and durable material. Neem wood also has natural anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties, helping to keep your scalp healthy.
22. Start applying the quality over quantity rule to your everyday life
23. Use toner on your underarms
If you’re looking for another natural way to help lighten up dark areas of your skin (like your underarms, knees, or even bikini line), consider using a toner!
They can be used on more areas than your face (I often find toner too abrasive for my face anyway).
I use one from The Ordinary (Glycolic Acid 7%) and noticed a difference within the first few weeks of use.
24. Start looking at ingredients at the grocery store
Gone are the days of looking past ingredients. If you want to know what you’re putting in your body, looking at the label is the place to start.
25. Exfoliate with sea salts each shower
With buying sea salts in bulk, it doesn’t cost much to exfoliate every shower. You can also make your own DIY sea salt scrubs from home if you like too.

Dry brushing is the cherry on top for soft skin. Get off all the dead skin cells with a nice dry brush before or after you shower.

Throw out, donate, or give away.

The fewer ingredients, the better! Stick to nutrient-dense, whole foods.
30. Replace plastics
31. Enroll yourself in a course
You choose which one.
32. Stop bleaching your roots

33. Start your day with warm lemon water
Help boost your metabolism at the start of the day.
34. Take up yoga
It’s never too late to start! There have been beginner yogis in almost every yoga class I have ever taken. Yoga classes are very welcoming environments.
35. Incorporate retinol into your skincare routine
Retinol helps to increase skin cell production. It also exfoliates your skin and increases collagen production, which can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, giving your skin a fresher, plump appearance!
36. Go to bed earlier
37. Practice journaling in the morning
38. Read one book per month
Broaden your vocabulary and literary skills while sharpening your mind.

The smallest steps can lead to great change.
