AFFORDABLE EMPLOYEE WELLNESS IDEAS

Numerous studies show that job stress is far and away the major source of stress for American adults.

Employee Wellness Events can help alleviate stress in the workspace.

• We all need a break! During a demanding workweek, a 10-minute break to unwind and recharge can seem impossible, especially when you need it most. It is simple to access physical, mental, and emotional wellness right at your office with corporate chair massages.

• Create an amazing atmosphere. Employees spend a lot of time with their co-workers. The more they enjoy it, the happier the workplace will be. A Wellness Event could be a great opportunity and atmosphere for employees to come together and a great productivity booster for the entire office.

• There is always something for everyone! Everyone can be pampered with different services, including Chair Massages, Mini-Facials, Manicures, Pedicures as well as Hair Styling and Make-Up demonstrations. Even a 5-minute hand massage works wonders.

• Event packages can reduce your overall expenses.

PUMPKIN SPICE LATTE MAKE UP

I really do love Fall, especially in New York City. There are so many seasonal events, hidden parks, and unique experiences you can only enjoy for a few months each year. I love sweater weather, scarves, comfort food, leather boots, and coffee in my favorite mug. But I need to confess, there is one thing I have trouble getting excited about. It is Pumpkin Spice Lattes. The warm cozy Fall in a cup just does not do it for me.

But in my makeup!? That’s a different story. I love Pumpkin Spice makeup — the famous mix of spices: cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and allspice.

First prep your skin with your favorite moisturizer ( recommend SPF) and let's dive in!

• Start with priming your lids to help eye makeup go on smoother and last longer. Use a fluffy brush and a light shade as a transition into the crease.

• Apply a slightly darker shade into the crease using a blending brush

( use a fluffy blending brush after each step to make sure everything is seamless)

• Then apply a dark shade ( deep orange or brown) to the outer corner of the eyelid. Blend and build it up until it's as vibrant as you want it to be.

• With the wet/dry eye brush apply shimmer eyeshadow to the center and inner third of the lids, taking it close to the inner corners. You want to make sure to blend everything in the outer corner for a smooth transition.

• Using the crease and blend brush, apply darker shade eyeshadow across the lower lash line. Blend out using windshield-wiping motions all the way across.

• Time for a liner! Apply dark brown or black eyeliner pencil to the lash line, then use a brush to smooth it out after applying and wing it out a bit.

• Add your favorite mascara and a quick brush to your eyebrows

• Enjoy your smokin-hot Pumpkin Spice Latte Makeup look!

IMPORTANCE OF SELF CARE

The kids are back in school, (and hopefully your spouse/partner is back in the office too), so now is the perfect time to take a few minutes to remind yourself that taking a break to recharge is essential to your well-being. And as you spend a big part of the day putting your family first, you should never forget about self-care. Even just 10 minutes is all it takes to feel refreshed and ready to take on the day. There are a few tips that could become an essential part of your everyday routine:

Hydration: Coffee can be a great start to the day, but it is important to stay hydrated. Water is an excellent beauty boost, it makes your skin glow, clears acne, and reduces hair loss!

Skin Care: This is highly recommended as a top priority. Use gentle, nourishing products to help keep skin in tip-top condition so that even when you might not be feeling your best, your skin still looks it. And if a beautiful, healthy complexion helps you feel and look your best, then it is most certainly worth your while.

Eating Healthy: Plan plan plan. It definitely takes some effort to think a day or two ahead about what you want to eat but it will pay off. 

A self-care routine should be simple. It is about feeling good, being happy, refreshed, and grateful. This may seem obvious, but just try to make time for yourself. You and your self-care are a priority to function at your highest level.

BENEFITS OF PRESSURE POINTS

Stress and anxiety can be experienced daily in our lives and it can be caused by numerous things. One of the possible reasons is based on his/her environment and living in the city can be as stressful as it can be every single day. Dealing with endless traffic and crowds, an individual’s stress and anxiety level can easily increase swiftly due to the hustle and bustle within the city.

As much as possible, it is extremely important to have natural relieving remedies that can help with calming one’s self on-the-go. Our bodies have pressure points that can quickly provide relief from stress and anxiety. When the pressure builds throughout the day, some solutions are available tp be used anytime and anywhere. Try some of the effective methods using the pressure points and your fingerprints that are listed below:

To treat stress, headaches, toothaches, and facial pain, apply pressure on your muscle that is situated between the thumb and index finger on either hand.

For migraine and low energy, the muscles behind the ear and back of the neck can be self-massaged for instant relief.

Being in larger crowds can be nauseating. Applying pressure around the muscles located on the side of your legs can help. 

Decreasing hypertension while on the move is possible. It is as easy as applying pressure in between eyebrows. This is also known as the third-eye point.

Been writing and typing in school or work all day? Apply mild pressure on the inside of both wrists to receive this pressure point’s soothing benefits.

HELLO HYDRATED SKIN

The countdown for the official summer days are not too far from us and most likely, we already have our summer plans laid out by this time! With the season changing and the millions of fun things to involve ourselves into, are we also remembering to prepare for the humidity? How will you keep yourself from being dehydrated?

Check out the easy tips that we were able to gather that can definitely help you keep your body hydrated internally and externally.

• WATER!
  You can never have enough water this summer. Drinking water can keep your body especially your skin hydrated.

• Lotion.
  Applying lotion not only keeps the skin moist but it also helps to maintain the youth of our skin and it can help prevent wrinkles.

• Fruits and Veggies.
  Our diet plays a major role in our overall health. Eating healthy during the summertime is a must. Certain types of fruits and vegetables can retain hydration within our body and it can also bring some glow to our skin.

• Indulge in some oatmeal.
  Oatmeal is known for being hearty and filling but did you also know that it is also very hydrating? You can also add chia seeds to boost this meal's nutritious properties.
  Plus. you can also use it as a hydrating and calming mask, too. Yum!

• You can never be too old for milk.
  Milk is packed with protein, carbohydrates, calcium, and electrolytes and it is more hydrating than some of the sports drinks.
