DAILY TIPS BY MONA VAND

Got outside for a walk before it started raining t

Got outside for a walk before it started raining today. Fresh air (albeit city air) just really wakes me up and refreshes me. It can be so tempting to stay inside in sweats when it's gloomy (and sometimes it's the best thing ever) but I find I feel so much better mentally and physically when I get out and move. Especially in the morning 🤍
⠀
The last few days have been all about podcasts for me... consuming from some of my favorite people in the wellness space.
⠀
I'm just in love with learning how the mind and body work and what we can do to optimize them both. From mental health to physical health... I'm on a lifelong journey of finding the best ways to feel good. Lifelong because I'll never think I've learned enough ☺️ Emotionally / mentally you find that as you dig deeper, more comes up that you can work on and resolve. And in the wellness space, there's just new amazing research every second, so you learn and adjust. And most importantly... process the information in a way that doesn't feel stressful or make you feel like you're not doing enough. Whenever someone or something I'm consuming makes me feel like that or anxious at all I personally take a break from the content and come back when it feels right again. Does wonders 😊

I’ve been sharing a lot more of my thoughts and

I’ve been sharing a lot more of my thoughts and passion around clean living in regards to products, food, etc... and there’s some things I’d like to elaborate on...
⠀
I most definitely do not live a perfectly clean life. But I do my absolute best, especially within the last 6 months - 1 year as I’ve really taken a dive in and educated myself. My personal philosophy is to go 100% clean when I’m in control and when there’s comparable options. So.. all of my cleaning supplies, hand soaps, shampoo and conditioner, food, snacks, etc are clean. There are just too many available options on the market, why wouldn’t I choose clean ones?
⠀
With that said, i do NOT beat myself up when I’m in public and can’t find the options i prefer. When i eat out at restaurants, i know very well that they might use canola oil or vegetable oil in my food. And if I’m at a gas station and starving and the only plant-based thing i can find is a protein bar with soy lecithin and natural flavors, I’m not going to feel guilty or freak out. I feel good about what i do the majority of the time in my day to day life...
⠀
On the other hand, honestly, sometimes there aren’t comparable options to something you love. Like my perfume - it’s not clean, but i LOVE it. And i can’t find a clean one i love. So, i use it, but try to avoid spraying it directly on my skin. I still choose to avoid fragrance in skincare and beauty products, because there are too many available options for me not to. It just feels like a no brainer. I personally don’t think that’s hypocritical, i think it’s smart and practical. Im still reducing my overall exposure, and again, i’m doing my best (As soon as @officialbyredo makes their perfume clean I’ll be set 🤪)

2 of my favorite people ❤️ big bro @nemavand bff @ericasaunders21. I met Erica through my brother, and yes they used to date, no they’re not dating anymore, but we’re all best friends and she’s basically part of the family at this point ☺️ life is long, and short, and funny. And there are some bonds that just feel different. Right?
⠀
Also, swipe ➡️ to see the off menu plant-based options at @surfclubrestaurant (avocado with grilled / pickled veggies and a FIRE sauce, eggplant Parm no cheese, and a very artistic vegan “chop” made from grains and veggies. Eggplant was my fav!)

Woke up today the happiest I’ve ever felt. Birth

Woke up today the happiest I’ve ever felt. Birthdays have always been a little weird for me, even in my teens and twenties. It’s hard to explain, but it’s never been my favorite day. This year is different. I feel more connected to myself than ever. More in tune with my emotions, my body, and more grounded than I’ve ever been. Learning my boundaries, leaning into what’s most aligned with my happiness and purpose, and stepping away from the the things that are not.
⠀
Thank you for all the sweet messages today 🥳 And lovelies - life can really keep getting better if you stop stressing about what you don’t have, let go, and surrender to all the beauty that’s right in front of you.

A woman in her 80s stopped me on the street to tell me this jacket was fabulous... and that’s what i love about NYC 🤩 (also .. her face mask had a painting of a smile that you just seriously can’t help but smile at ☺️ So i paid compliments back, ofc. And also... i told my bf this jacket was a sleeping bag and he believed me 😆)

If I’m using a product every single day, I make sure it’s clean and chemical-free...
⠀
This is a personal guideline I set when trying to navigate this world which isn’t so black and white. We can’t live in a bubble and be perfect, but at the same time when it’s an everyday product like body wash, toothpaste or laundry detergent, it’s a good idea to be diligent in choosing healthy brands
⠀
i love @spotlight_oral_care because it’s clean and non-toxic, the packaging is made from sugarcane and is 100% biodegradable and carbon negative, and it really whitens teeth! Also how cute is this rose gold sonic toothbrush? Highly recommend an electric toothbrush for keeping teeth white (the charge on this one lasts up to 70 days)
