How To Get Radiant, Glowing Skin

How To Get Radiant, Glowing Skin
Dr. Michele Burklund

Who doesn’t want gorgeous, glowing skin? Many people associate a radiant complexion with good overall health, and they’re right.

The skin is the largest organ in the body, covering 22 square feet, on average. In addition to providing the body external protection, skin has a variety of functions, including removing waste through the pores, supporting vitamin D production, and giving the sense of touch.

The skin also acts as a mirror for overall health. Have you ever noticed dark circles under your eyes when you don’t get enough sleep, blemishes cropping up when you’re stressed, or dull, dry skin when you aren’t eating right? That’s the skin providing a physical manifestation of what’s happening within your body.

How To Winterize Your Beauty Routine
How To Winterize Your Beauty Routine

Did you know that the chilly winter air can deplete your skin of moisture resulting in a dull, even dry appearance?  Every year right around this time I always notice that my skin tends to  get drier and taking more oils is a must!

2016 has been a crazy year of transition, relocation, rejuvenation, and rediscovery for me, which has been an amazing experience, but has left little room for a consistent routine.  Running out of the moisturizer I have used for decades in a foreign country or trying to keep a eating plan when different fruits and veggies are in season are just some of the things I've adapted to this year.  

What I have learned from this experience is that nature always has a solution!  After spending thousands of dollars on creams, lotions, and expensive elixirs, I've found that applying oils directly to my skin in the morning will give me the best glow.  If I'm in Greece I will use olive oil, if I'm traveling through tropical zones I'll slather on coconut oil.

What am I obsessing over now? Mandarine Oranges!!!

Haris, the love of my life, has been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer.  Right now he needs your support to get him treatment!Most of you reading this have been touched in some way by the presence of Haris in your life, others will perhaps have this chance in the future. 
Right now, Haris needs your help (and money) to survive.  Haris is not done yet on this Earth and the world is a better place with his presence on it.  We have designed some amazing rewards for your contributions; from living in an authentic Greek village for one month to lighting a candle for you in the oldest church in Crete!

Haris has been battling Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma for many years and has failed every line of treatment available in his country (Greece). He has been on the edge of death many times and has been able to push beyond the pain and suffering and recover. Haris is not a typical patient by any means and refuses to listen to statistics.  No matter what stage he has been in, he's refused to give up and used his training in qigong and meditation to give him the energy to survive.

This time, the cancer has come on strong and fast!  After a month and a half of non-stop research and persistence, Haris was accepted in a T-Cell clinical trial in China!!! We are so excited that Haris has been given this opportunity, especially since only ten people were selected (click on this link to read about the trial) .  The cost of the T-Cell treatment will be covered by the clinical trial BUT all other expenses will be our responsibility including the 1-2 month hospital stay, doctors examinations, additional drugs that are used, along with the imaging and biopsies.  We were told that these additional costs were estimated  to be around $60,000.  For those of us in America, we know that this is a deal!  We spoke with several organizations in America including MD Anderson in Texas and Fred Hutch/Seattle Cancer Care Alliance and they both wanted between $500,000 to $850,000 as a deposit just to get started!!! We were notified December 28th that we were accepted into the trial and plan to leave January 8th, 2018.  This gives us a week and a half to put everything together. Link in bio.
