Food is meant to really be supportive, to make sure that you are creating the best environment for yourself to push forward.

Skincare with the crappiest diet is not great.

you're just putting a Band-Aid, right?

It's both working hand in hand.

So I think you have to think of lifestyle as a piece of the puzzle, a very important piece of the puzzle, but it's not the whole puzzle.

Because when you make it the whole puzzle, you think that you can be fully in control, but there are going to be some things that happen that you're going to have to learn.

How do we roll with the punches?

How do we ask for help?

How do we have external things coming in to help us?

This is a great question.

And I think this is the million-dollar question.

First of all, nobody needs a 12-step skincare routine.

Nobody.

Nobody needs to be spending thousands and countless of hours on products.

It's not productive.

It's not realistic.

And as a mom of two, who has not one, but two, so I would argue three businesses, and a partner in my life, especially between the ages of zero and four when my kids were really small, it was impossible to find time for myself.

And so...

Failing yourself by not showing up through a consistent skincare routine is the first point of failure.

So if it's not something that you can be consistent with, it's not good enough.
