EMILY’S HEARTY BUTTERNUT SQUASH QUINOA CHICKEN STEW
This stew is my favorite thing to make around the holidays. It’s equally good as a weekday meal or as a holiday dinner dish. I’ve meal prepped with this recipe and brown-bagged it all week – because it’s protein-packed, possibly even more amazing when reheated, and travels well in a jar – and I’ve also brought this stew to countless Thanksgiving dinners and holiday parties, where it won’t disappoint.
PUMPKIN THANKSGIVING FACIAL
What to do with all that leftover pumpkin puree? Reset your skin after a big Thanksgiving meal with this easy, homemade Pumpkin Spice Face Mask.
Packed with lots of vitamins A and D, pumpkin is great for your skin. It softens and soothes, fights signs of aging, and contains enzymes and alpha hydroxy acids which help to brighten your glow. Plus, we’ve added a pinch of turmeric to the mix — this all-star ingredient is high in antioxidants to slow down cell damage, gently exfoliates your skin, and helps with inflammatory skin conditions, such as acne, dry skin, psoriasis and eczema. It helps reduce pigmentation, even out the skin tone, and diminishes wrinkles.

EXHALE’S ULTIMATE GUIDE + PRINTABLE TEMPLATE FOR YOUR 2019 GOALS
The new year is fast approaching — yet most of us don’t start thinking about 2019 goals until after Christmas dinner. Our advice? Start now. Sit down and prepare a list of important lifestyle changes you want to make in 2019. Then make a plan to achieve them. Here are the tips and tools we’re using, so you can do the same.
Reflect and grow. Before you can set goals for a new year, a little journaling and reflection on the current year goes a long way. Set aside time to reflect on the areas of your life — from relationships, to health, to career, to finances — and notice areas you’re proud of and areas you’d like to work on.

Move it Whether you’re sweating it out or stretching it out, physical movement is a great way to channel whatever energy you’d normally put towards stress, into something productive and healthy.

HIIT 30 is a half hour of non-stop movement that will leave you feeling exhilarated.
MYOLIFT FACIAL – REDEFINING THE FUTURE OF FACIAL THERAPIES!
Microcurrent technology has been around for centuries, but it’s not until recently that it has made its way into the hands of lead estheticians as a way to not only reduce wrinkles and improve tone and texture, but to also educate facial muscles to lift saggy skin. Exhale’s Lift Facial utilizes this technology and is the perfect choice to achieve an immediate youthful glow before a big event or as a series to whip your skin into the best shape of its life! In the last few years, more and more celebrities from Jennifer Lopez to Kim Kardashian have been seen using microcurrent machines or are known to get electric facial for their red carpet treatments. But did you know that microcurrent came from less glamorous beginnings?
