Happy Yoga & Fitness: What’s your Beauty Profile?

Hello Beautiful Friends! It has been a while since we’ve done a Beauty Profile. We put question of who should be interviewed next out into the insta-sphere and there were many requests for the owners of Happy Yoga & Fitness be interviewed. Without further ado, please read on to hear what these two amazing local women in business have to say:

What does beauty mean to you?

Jen

Beauty means confidence. When you feel beautiful, inside and out, there’s an amazing, energizing confidence that comes with it. It goes the other way around too – when you radiate confidence, those around you see your true beauty.

Sarah

Beauty to me means being comfortable. If you are comfortable in your own skin, in the clothes you wear, and in your actions, you will feel true beauty.

When do you feel that you are most beautiful?

Jen

I feel most beautiful when I am prioritizing activity and good nutrition. Taking care of my body makes my skin and hair so happy. I also feel beautiful when I’m doing something I love, and when I’m offering kindness to those around me.

Sarah

I feel most beautiful when I am breastfeeding my daughter. It’s such a beautiful human act that I’ve been blessed to be able to do for her. I also feel beautiful when working out – taking care of my body and soul.

Can you describe your skincare routine?

Jen

My skin care routine is fairly, well, routine. Cleanser, toner, moisturizer. One product I’ve come to rely on as my skin ages is a good hyaluronic acid. I use it as a serum and my skin just soaks it in! Also, an injectable filler once a year or so, just to keep that youthful glow 😉

Sarah

My skin care routine consists of rinsing my face with warm water and adding a moisturizer. I come from a fairly low maintenance family so there was never much need for more than that!

What is the one product you cannot live without?

Jen

One product I cannot live without is my tinted moisturizer from Pure Anada Cosmetics. It smooths my skin tone just enough, but still gives a more natural look.

Sarah

I can’t live without a good body lotion! Keeping my skin hydrated feels so good and gives me that healthy glow, feeling comfortable and confident.

Are there any beauty tips/traditions in your family?

Jen

My family is quite natural when it comes to skincare – not a lot of heavy makeup or expensive lotions or creams. As long as you are comfortable in your own skin, you’ll fit right in!

Sarah

As I mentioned earlier, my family is pretty low key – as long as your teeth are brushed and flossed, you are good to go!

What are some beauty words of wisdom you’d share with your younger self?

Jen

I would tell my younger self: you’re doing great, girl. Good job on not following all the heavy beauty trends and needing all those subscription boxes. Stay hydrated, wear sunscreen, and be kind to everyone.

Sarah

I would tell my younger self to wear the sunscreen! You’ll still get a tan, but will save your skin from years of harmful rays.

What is on your ‘wishlist’ of treatments you’d like to try?

Jen

I’ve always wanted to try a silk peel! It seems gentle yet still effective enough to clear away those excess toxins I know are just sitting on my skin.

Sarah

I’ve been waiting patiently to finish nursing my daughter so I can make these fine lines disappear!
