Here’s what’s in the stars for you this summer – and what you’ll need most at exhale. Aries:Don’t be surprised as emotions arise with Mars in retrograde this month. Power through them in the studio, and instead of letting them overrule your actions, focus on you instead. Taurus:This month brings the sun and Venus (your ruling planet) together, and that means it’s your time to indulge. Cue some serious spa time, and with the new moon’s little income boost, an opportunity to invest in your wellness. Gemini:It’s your birthday season – cue sun, celebrations, and a whole lot of me-time. If there’s ever a time for a spa day, that

If you’re active, busy, and constantly plugged into emails and texts (sounds familiar…) getting an hour-long massage sounds like an indulgence you don’t have time for. But here’s your wake-up call: it could be the most productive hour of your week, especially if you’re very active. Here’s why. Our bodies respond to everything we do – the workouts, that Sunday evening couch potato hour (or two!), and even those few minutes spent texting – it all impacts our circulation, sleep patterns, anxiety, and muscle balance. Along with a myriad of other benefits, here are the top 6 reasons why your body is craving that post-workout massage, according to our experts.

With the long days of summer (mostly) behind and cooler, shorter days ahead, our attention begins to shift inward and our routines adjust to the changing temperatures. A focus on your skin care routine can be a game-changer to keep glowing long after summer fades. Our skincare experts from emerginC Scientific Organics break down three simple ways to keep your skin nourished through the autumn months. Protect your skin: As humidity and temperature levels drop, an influx of cold, dry air causes the water in your skin to evaporate more quickly. This leaves your skin feeling dry and tight and looking flaky along with those chilly fall temperatures. Combat the effects of lower temperatures by keeping your skin hydrated with a deep moisturizing cream or lotion.

These individuals experience a strong sense of meaning and purpose in their lives, are deeply engaged with their families, work, and communities, and are remarkably resilient to life’s inevitable hardships. Sadly, only 1 in 5 Americans are flourishing. Most of us are skimming the surface of our lives, stuck in rigid routines, yearning for something more. As a positive psychology coach, I employ strategies from the scientific
