Hydration is Happiness

The title of this post sounds cheesy, I know.

But it’s true and I couldn’t be more serious!

Yeah yeah yeah, we all know it’s important to drink water.

But I think there’s a lot of you who don’t realize that drinking water is key to solving so many problems in our lives that we might think are completely unrelated to our hydration.

Let’s talk about some of things that are causing us to feel UNHAPPY – and how drinking more water can quite literally solve those issues; because I’ll say it again…

Hydration is Happiness!

Acne

Did you know that when you have dry skin, it actually triggers your skin to produce excess oil? The production of excess oil is one of the main causes of acne. Because drinking water promotes skin hydration, less excess oil is produced by your skin, resulting in a way to prevent acne.

Wrinkles

Since we’re already on the topic of skin… Just like the way that drinking water helps to prevent acne, it also helps to prevent wrinkles and premature aging. Think about it: the more water you drink, the more hydrated your skin will be. People who drink large amounts of water have shown to suffer from less wrinkles and scarring – because their skin is hydrated, moisturized, and plump.

Trouble focusing

Water cushions your brain and other important body tissues. The amount of water you drink takes a toll on the way that you brain functions. When you’re dehydrated, your brain has a harder time focusing, reasoning, and solving problems.

Stomach issues

Your body depends on water in order to digest properly. Being dehydrated can lead to all types of unfortunate issues such as constipation, heartburn, and stomach ulcers.

Weight

Drinking more water actually helps the process of weight loss. For those trying to eat lighter meals or snack less throughout the day, try “preloading” by drinking water before eating. Drinking more water helps to give you the feeling of being “full”. Plus, if you’re drinking more water all day, you’re likely drinking less sugary juices and sodas.

There are probably a million more examples of how hydration can bring you more happiness, but this is a good start!

Having trouble making a habit out of drinking more water?

Save or screenshot this image that I created and set it as the wallpaper on your phone or computer as motivation and a daily reminder to keep on drinking water throughout the day.

Keep chugging and you’ll be on your way to a happier and healthier self 😉

Finally Say BYEEE To Your Acne

Hey lovely!

I don’t normally write about one specific product like this, but I just had to share a quick post to showcase how freakin’ amazing these acne pads are.

They’re called C of Change Clinical Peel Pads.

If you struggle with acne, you know it can be different for everyone… and what might work for one person might not work for another.

BUT you have got to give these a chance! RUN don’t walk.

I’ve dealt with acne my entire life, middle school and high school were the worst. I’m now 28 years old and of course I still have good ole’ adult acne.

I wish I could travel back in time to my high school years and get myself these acne pads… because holy moly, they actually work for me.

It’s important to know that it takes time for skin products to start working effectively – but after just one month of using these pads, my pimples are either completely gone or dried up and fading away :’)

I’ve also noticed my skin is MUCH smoother, pores look smaller, overall texture of my skin is better, and my complexion is bright and even.

The combination of Vitamin C and Salicylic Acid in these pads have made such a difference for me.

Instructions say to use them 1-2 times daily. I’ve been using them once a day and I feel that’s been a good amount for me.

A couple more amazing things I just have to throw out there:

  • This product (I think the entire FHF skincare brand, actually) is vegan, gluten-free, nut-free and cruelty-free.
  • ALSO – Every purchase that you make goes towards saving the lives of abused and neglected animals. There’s even a batch number on the bottom of each product that allows you to search which animal you helped by making that purchase. So cool.

So anyways, if you’re up for giving these C of Change Clinical Pads a shot at clearing your acne, smoothing your skin, and brightening your complexion… or if you just want some more information,

Get FLAWLESS Skin

Check out Farmhouse Fresh for my #1 recommended skincare products to give you the best skin of your life.

Are you a bride trying to prep and prime your skin for your big day?

Maybe you’re not a bride… But are you someone who is sick and tired of using expensive skincare products that lack real results?

If you answered yes to either of those questions, this post is exactly where you need to be.

Did you know it typically takes 6-8 weeks to see real results with a new skincare routine? That being said, now is the time to begin a fabulous skincare routine to prep yourself for your big day.

Skincare routines aren’t one size fits all… Everyone has a different skin type: combination, oily, dry, or normal.

Not only are there different skin types, but each person has their own skin concerns as well: acne-prone, aging, wrinkles, dark spots, etc.

I am a skincare fanatic – honestly, skincare psychopath is probably a better term. I am PASSIONATE about my skincare, and I have been since I was a freshman in high school 15 years ago.

The amount of medicated creams, gels, home remedies, and expensive skincare products that I have tried in the past is, quite frankly, ridiculous.

But in that same breath, I have been able to find out what works and what most definitely does not. (Insert sad face emoji… you live and you learn.)

There is one skincare brand that I can honestly say I have loved every product that I’ve tried…

Farmhouse Fresh.

real results

for real people

with real skin concerns.

Aside from that, their products are all natural and organic. You’ve heard the term “farm to table” when eating at a restaurant? What about “farm to face”? If you care what you’re putting in your body, you should also care what you’re putting on your face and absorbing into your skin.

The feel, scent, packaging, and price point of this skincare and bodycare line is incredible. You’ll feel like you’re using the most expensive, luxury products, getting real results, but with spending only a fraction of the price as you would with other “popular” skincare lines.

WAIT, there’s more 🙂

(Yikes, I sound like an infomercial… but seriously I’m just obsessed with these products.)

Each purchase you make from Farmhouse Fresh literally saves abused and neglected animals. :*)

There’s even a way that you can track the product that you purchased to see which animals you helped… Whether it’s a horse that was left starving to death at a sale barn, or abandoned dogs waiting at a euthanasia shelter.

Okay, I could go on and on about the goodness of this company forever, so I’ll try to stop here and instead I’ll rant about the amazing products I’ve incorporated into my skincare routine, the results, and hopefully you’ll give them a chance in your own skincare routine, because I promise you… you’ll be obsessed with them all.
