1. Book that inspired me

Shoe Dog - Phil Knight
The story behind Nike, told by founder Phil Knight himself. I loved this book, super inspiring. He accompanied me in many hours of traffic (nowadays I can hear more books than read unfortunately). I learned a lot about vision, resilience and intuition in business. It made me reflect on persistence and passion for what is created.

2. Ingredient of the week

Reishi - The mushroom of longevity
I started my mark - which was called pure juice, like this adaptogen mushroom. If you are choosing a miraculous superfood you would choose this! UMA TRUE SECRET WEAPON FOR HEALTHY SKIN AND Balanced Mind. Helps reduce oxidative stress, strengthen the immune system

7. Ritual that changes everything

THE Luminous mask
One of the products most underestimated from the MPL Beauty. Whenever I use, the skin It is renewed, radiant and uniform. If you are looking for an immediate boost of hydration and luminosity, this is the secret.

8. Small change, great impact:

This is the rule at home. 90 minutes without screen before bed = deeper sleep, brighter skin and more balanced energy. The blue light of the screen not only affects our ability to fall asleep and sleep a deep sleep without waking up in the middle of the night, but also affects our skin, especially collagen (think premature aging). Here we use the skin of the skin serum detox, which formulated specifically to protect the skin from blue light;) 

I hope you enjoyed it. If you have any tips leave in the comments ♡
