A prebiotic is a substance that immensely supports our gut bacteria. There are many ways to incorporate prebiotics into your diet, and one major way is through the source of resistant starch.
Anddddd guess what? That white rice you most likely have in your pantry is covered in it—resistant starch.
Stay with us -
Rice water, the starchy liquid left after soaking or boiling rice, is rich in carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals, making it a nutrient-dense beverage. When consumed, it provides quick energy and essential nutrients such as B vitamins and minerals like potassium and magnesium, which support overall health and well-being, wild.
Drinking a “shot” of rice water with a squeezed lime during your morning routine is considered a natural remedy for promoting various health benefits, a big one being daily weight loss.
The lime part is packed with vitamin C, antioxidants, and citric acid, which can play a significant role in weight management by boosting metabolism, enhancing digestion, and reducing appetite. The combination of these two ingredients offers potential benefits for those looking to manage their weight.
However, while these potential benefits are promising, it's important to note that scientific evidence specifically supporting the combination of rice water and lime for weight loss is limited.
*Quick tip - The concept is to incorporate a “shot” or 2 to 4 ounces of rice water with lime each morning. Avoid rinsing the rice before boiling, as the starch on the rice is super important for this holistic remedy's benefits.

THREE. Clear Bag Policy
We understand - our purse is our lifeline as well.

This measure enhances safety by allowing security personnel to easily inspect the contents of bags without impeding the flow of attendees.
The Everywhere Bag helps you to attend these events with peace of mind.

SEVEN. Our best de-puffing skin care products
You know exactly what we are talking about.
That glass of wine you had during happy hour or the salty bowl of pickles for "girl dinner". The next day, you wake up feeling heavy and overall puffy around the eyes and jawline.
Your lymphatic system, unlike your heart, does not have its own strong-willed pumping system. When lymph fluid is stuck, in specific areas like your face, it can cause a puffy appearance that can be flushed out.
Speaking truthfully, Cryo is our favorite part of the skincare routine to depuff and snatch the face.
Jenny Patinkin Cryo and the Beautyology Lab Cryo set have been shown to increase blood flow, minimize pore appearance, contour, and firmness, and reduce puffiness, fine lines, and wrinkles.
Skin Gym IceCool Roller also has a noteworthy status to remarkably revitalize. From our experience, all three have been shown to appreciably reduce the symptoms of a hangover at a time or two.
Stay consistent with the motions, tools, and breathwork - you’ll appreciate the addiction.
Drink your tea, and enjoy the weekend.
