At some point early on I was shocked when my stylist told me I was about 90% grey hiding under all that color, and I was still young!Fast forward to a couple of years ago; after staring at way too much unintentional outgrowth from missed salon visits I finally realized my natural color was so light it actually resembled the highlights I was spending a fortune on!I was in a bit of a rut with zero budget for any massive makeover, not to mention the cost of the 5 to 6 week upkeep.

You may have heard about the wonders of Korean skincare. If not, it is among the highest rated products in the world.One of the items touted is a skin conditioner. Popular all over Asia for years, skin conditioners are still relatively new here in the USA.So, what is skin conditioner and do you need one?Be Well,Anisa Not a Toner, But a Moisturizer You might be saying to yourself, “I’ve never even heard of a skin conditioner. What is skin conditioner and how is it different from all of these other skincare products?” You might be thinking, it’s a toner, but skin conditioner, such as our NR8 Formula, has a specific function to hydrate, soften and nourish your skin.

Energy is all around us. Not only do we create our own, outside influences can affect our whole well being.Both positive and negative energy is contagious, but it always seems as though negative energy spreads more.When there is negative energy in and around us, it can bring on both physical and mental struggles.So how do we surround ourselves with the positive and rid our space of the negative?Let's explore!Be Well,Anisa Where Does Negative Energy Come From? You are probably not surprised but it has many sources. The world around us (as with recent events) can assault us with negativity.
