Just as rest is important, so is mindful movement. Spend some time this holiday season participating in an activity you enjoy such as yoga, tai chi, biking or walking. We all know how important physical activity is for keeping a healthy body, but it also has amazing benefits for your mind. A few of those benefits include alleviating anxiety, increasing happiness and reducing stress. Safe to say we could all benefit from a little bit of that, especially during the holidays.
Pause. relax. reset.
You might be asking yourself, “How is it already December?” to which our answer is, we don’t know. But what we do know is that it means the holidays are quickly approaching! With this wonderful (yet stressful) time approaching, it’s important that we make sure we are taking care of ourselves. After all, the holidays are meant to be savored and enjoyed. And as a wise person once said, “You can’t pour from an empty cup.” So we’ve racked our brains and compiled some tips together to help you rock your self-care this holiday season. So grab a cup of something warm, kick your feet up and read on.
Hydrate
We know this fact seems obvious but when you get busy you’d be surprised how little you hydrate your body. Never fear though because we are here to remind you. Up to 60% of the adult human body is water so it’s essential to maintain. When we get dehydrated our body starts functioning less optimally. We become tired, we get headaches, our food doesn’t digest as well, our minds feel fuzzy and we can ever become dizzy and get muscle cramps. To make sure you’re staying hydrated, keep a water bottle with you all day to sip on or add flavoring to your water so it’s more enticing!
Move Your body
Say No
There are so many events and tasks we feel obligated toward, but even more so during the holidays. Remember that it’s okay to say no to things you don’t want to do or things you want to do but don’t have the time/energy for. No is a necessary magic. It draws a circle around you and says ‘I have given enough’.
Get in some "me" time
Putting yourself first and taking alone time is a very important step in maintaining mental and physical health. So give yourself a break from the holiday cooking and baking, the shopping and gift wrapping and pause. Indulging in “me” time looks different to everyone but some great ideas include:
-Binge watching your favorite show
-Taking yourself out for ice cream
-Going to your favorite salon & spa for a facial or massage (with FlawlessU obvs!)
-Enjoying coffee with yourself
With these tips, you’ll rock this holiday season by taking good care of yourself. Most of all, remember to not sweat the small stuff and live in the moment. Take in the most wonderful time of the year with your friends and family by really enjoying every moment for what they are.
Happy Holidays, everyone!

Food For YOUR Face
There is no better feeling than getting your nails done
You're Never fully dressed without a spray tan
Guess what?
We are going to start by simply stating that facial peels are the best. Not only do they help keep your skin healthy and youthful but they give you instant gratification because you can tell a noticeable difference right away. Many of us are afraid to get peels because we know them to be harsh or require a lot of down time. However, with our Bioelements peels there is absolutely no downtime, no flaking. Only results.
The power of Lash Lift & tints
We have all seen the ads promoting gemstone rollers to incorporate in our skin care routines. But you may be wondering, do they really have a purpose and what exactly are they doing? At FlawlessU our estheticians love to incorporate gemstone rollers in many different types of facials from peels to dermaplaning. And today we are going to share all the benefits of incorporating them into your daily routine. Gemstone rollers have an array of benefits for our skin including: -increased blood flow which promotes healing and cellular turnover -increased collagen production -relaxation and soothing -reduced wrinkles and expression lines -reduces puffiness by promoting lymphatic drainage -reduces under eye circles -softens and tones skin -improves elasticity On an energy level, the type of stone you use can benefit you differently which is an amazing secondary benefit.
