The beauty of bliss


We all know by now that I love meditation, exercise (well not all of it) and eating well. These days I see a lot less stress than a few years ago, which I've worked hard to achieve. From a beauty writer's perspective, there are some very good reasons to keep stress at bay. Such as...

* Stress can literally make your hair fall out, especially if you're inclined to play/twist/pull sections as a habit.
* These bald areas might even grow back as gray hair. Pretty.
* When your body is under stress it releases a hormone called cortisol which then increases oil production, leading to potential acne breakouts.
* Some people will pick at their nail without thinking about it, either wreaking havoc with their cuticles or damaging the growth plate of the nail. And then there's the nail-biters, again, not pretty. (Tip for nail biters: paint your nails in really bright colours, some say it helps them stop biting).
* Anxiety can cause you to lose sleep, and when you do get a bit of shut eye, you might be grinding your teeth.

Doesn't that make you want to get more omm in your life?
