Beauty From Within

     If you have skin, this is something you want to read about!  I've been focusing on my gut health now for a little over 4 years and it was beginning to show up on my skin as well.  One day after teaching hot yoga, I went into the bank and the lady commented on how great my skin was.  Not bad for someone who came in looking like a hot sweaty mess!  She wanted to know what I was doing.  I told her I honestly didn't know.  I told her some nights I don't even was my face and sleep in my make up. LOL
Then I got to thinking about it and realized it was my gut health that had improved my skin!  It's amazing how what you put in can have such a huge impact on what your skin looks like.  Hydration is super important too for good skin!  Did you know that the elasticity of our skin starts to change in our 20's?  Our body's ability to produce its own collagen diminishes greatly by age 30!  I don't know about you, but I didn't know any of these things and felt like I was late to the party when I did learn this.  Never the less, as soon I had this revelation knowledge I immediately decided I wanted to look good as I aged and decided to do something about it!  Knowledge is power right?  But only if you do something with that power!
So thankfully my gut health supplements also developed a line of skin care as well.  Thank goodness because I know I can trust their standards without going through and researching or trying to find all the products in 15 different things when they have it all in one!  So what is it you might ask?  It's called JoyOme!  They have an amazing collagen and also a day and night facial serum.  Clean ingredients, and when I say clean, I mean they took European standards and eliminated even more chemicals. The facial serums are free from 1500 chemicals that can be harmful to us.  So for you crunchy mamas out there, this should make your heart sing!  I know it sure did mine!
I've been using the facial serums now for almost 2 years.  About 3 months ago I added in the collagen as well.  Let me say this also... I have taken collagen for about 5 years now but none of the ones I've tried (and I've tried about 4 different ones) have given me these results.  Oh and did I mention the JoyOme collagen has been clinically studied and is proven to yield results in as little as 15 days?  What???  Yes!  How awesome is that?

So here is a side by side comparison of how good gut health and quality products have helped me age backwards!

Crazy isn't it?  I mean I feel like I look so much better now than 10 years ago!  Of course I'm not all about appearances and I do think what's on the inside matters most, however, we all do want to look and most importantly feel our best!  So that is why I love sharing what has helped me get there!  I share because I care!  Also from having this blog back in the beginning when I started, I know how many of my readers also felt as awful as I did back then and were looking for help!  If you still feel bad, please reach out and let's chat!  I'd love to help you feel better like I do!


So...if your curious and want to "try" this "beauty from within" stuff I'm talking about, then you are in luck!  It is now available in a 3 day box where you can try the gut health drink, the collagen, and both the day and night serums!  It's also at an amazing price and free shipping!  PLUS... yes it keeps getting better... you will also receive a coupon to save $20 off your first purchase after you sample! So basically you get to try all of that for 3 days for FREE!  Want to know more?  Of course you do!  Message me and I'll help you get it ordered today!  You're gonna love it, I know you will!

What's New With Me in 2020?

WOW... I took a bit of a break from the blog (hello 4 years) and am happy to say that I am back!  What's new with all of you?

Those of you who have followed since the very beginning, you'll remember all the health struggles!  I started this blog to be transparent and to document all of my own health struggles and to have a place to look back on how things went.  The last post I made was back in Nov 2015 and it was about the new business I was starting as a health and wellness coach and the supplements I had finally found that had changed my life!  My health struggles were on the outs and I was THRIVING no long just SURVIVING!  There is a HUIGE difference by the way!

So whats new with me you ask?  Let me think back and try and summarize it for you.  If any of you follow me on Facebook or Instagram then you know what's been going on.  For those of you who do not, let's start there and say, come follow along on social media!  I love to connect with new people all the time!

As far as my health journey goes... I officially have my life back and I did not have to take prescription medications to get there!  It was more like a combination of things, but the main thing I learned was that when you have unbalanced blood sugar, inflammation, and gut health issues, well that is a recipe for so many health issues but was the main root of my auto immune problems.  Once I got those issues under control and at bay, everything else started to fall back into the balance my body was created to be in!  Was it hard?  NO!!! In fact it was actually very simple!  Today I am still taking the same supplements 4 years later and I feel so much better at almost 43 than I ever felt in my 30s.

Let me just say, if you only go poop once a week or even once a day, you need to message me!  That's not healthy and will eventually, if it hasn't already, lead to a whole lot of health issues!  So seriously... let's talk!  Like NOW!!!

The little Trotter people are not so little anymore!  One is in high school and the other in middle school.  They are both cheerleaders and we are having so much fun!  We moved into a "new to us" house almost 2 years ago, and finally got a pool!  Haha, married to a Pool man for over 15 years and just getting my own pool.  Can anyone else relate?

So as of right now, things are great, we are blessed and I can't complain.
I'd like to get back to this blogging thing again and reconnect with my readers.  I'd love to see you on social media as well.  So tell me... what kinds of things are y'all interested in reading about?  What topics would you like for me to post about?  I sure would love to hear from y'all!

Take care!
