Greetings Gorgeous!

I hope this finds you well and the year is off to a sweet start for you. Thanks to some quality time with my family and getting my first shiatsu massage, mine began feeling relaxed, energized and inspired!

I've been working on a website update, creating workshops and other cool projects I look forward to sharing with you. This Saturday I will be talking all things beauty & wellness at the Fitness Collective's "Love Your Body" event in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn. If you're around, stop by and say hello!

Speaking of love, let us celebrate Valentine's Day by showing ourselves more love! I think we can agree, self-love makes us more attractive, from the inside out. Treat yourself to a fab new lipstick (like one suggested below) , an organic dinner with friends, or a private makeup lesson with me :) You deserve to feel beautiful no matter what your relationship status!

With Love & Beauty, xoxo Rebecca

Best Natural Moisturizers for Dry Skin

Dry, flaky, itchy and even cracked skin is a common side effect of the fall and winter chill. The low humidity in the air, both indoors and out, is one of the main causes for this annoying seasonal skin issue.

Other factors that exacerbate scaly skin include taking hot showers (especially if using harsh soaps that strip the skin's moisture) and lack of omega-3 oils in the diet.

Dry skin can be both unsightly and uncomfortable, but the good news is, plant-based oils and butters can help soothe, nourish and heal your skin. Learn about them in my latest Green Beauty Team article!
