In today's fast-paced world, it can be easy to neglect our own needs in favor of work, family, or other obligations. However, prioritizing self-care is essential for maintaining good physical, emotional, and mental health. Here are five research-based benefits of self-care that everyone should know.
Engaging in self-care activities such as mindfulness meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises can help reduce stress and anxiety levels. Chronic stress can have serious negative consequences on our physical and mental health, so taking time for self-care is critical.
"Self-care is a deliberate choice to gift yourself with people, places, things, events, and opportunities that recharge our personal battery and promote whole health - body, mind, and spirit."
Laurie Buchanan, speaker, author, and life coach
Taking care of our bodies is a vital part of self-care. Regular exercise, a healthy diet, and adequate sleep can help us maintain good physical health. Research has shown that individuals who prioritize self-care are less likely to develop chronic health conditions such as heart disease, obesity, and diabetes.
Mental health is just as important as physical health. Self-care practices such as journaling, therapy, or spending time in nature can help improve mental health outcomes. Individuals who practice self-care are less likely to experience symptoms of depression, anxiety, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Prioritizing self-care can help improve cognitive functioning, leading to increased productivity and focus. Taking breaks and engaging in activities that bring us joy can help us return to work or other tasks with renewed energy and focus.
"Self-care is how you take your power back."
Lalah Delia, wellness educator, author, and spiritual practitioner
When we take care of ourselves, we are better able to show up for others. Prioritizing self-care can lead to improved relationships with family, friends, and colleagues. When we are well-rested and emotionally balanced, we are more able to communicate effectively and maintain healthy relationships.
In conclusion, self-care is essential for maintaining good physical, emotional, and mental health. By engaging in self-care activities, we can reduce stress, improve our overall well-being, and become better equipped to handle the challenges of modern life. So, let's all make a promise to ourselves to make self-care a priority. Everyone deserves to take care of themselves and prioritize their own well-being.

]]>Let's talk about sex. Yes, that's right, SEX! Some of you might be tempted to hide your mobile screen while reading this on the metro. But why? Sex is a natural part of being human, yet it often remains hidden in the shadows like a shameful secret. How did this taboo come about and why does it hold us back from enjoying fulfilling sex lives? Let's delve into the issue and explore how we can break free from the shame and embrace our sexuality.
The taboo surrounding sex has been around for centuries, and its origins are complex. In many cultures, sex was viewed as something to be hidden or kept behind closed doors. Religious teachings often condemn sexual desire, and even depict it as a sin. The media we consume also perpetuates myths and misunderstandings about sex. Pornography, for example, often depicts unrealistic and often harmful sexual acts, leading to distorted views of sex and sexuality. All of these factors combine to create a culture of shame and silence around sex.
"Sex is as important as eating or drinking, and we ought to allow the one appetite to be satisfied with as little restraint or false modesty as the other."
Marquis de Sade
But let's get one thing straight: sex is not dirty or shameful. But we've been taught to believe that it is, by society, religion, and even our own families. It's time to unlearn that crap and embrace our sexuality as a natural and beautiful part of being human. We're not saying you need to go shouting your kinks from the rooftops, but it's time to stop feeling embarrassed or ashamed about what turns you on.
When we feel ashamed or embarrassed about our sexuality, it can seriously hold us back from having amazing sex lives. We might be too scared to try new things or express our desires to our partners. We might feel too self-conscious to fully enjoy sex or explore our own bodies. But here's the thing: sex is supposed to be fun! It's supposed to feel good! It's time to let go of the shame and embrace the pleasure.
Breaking down the taboo surrounding sex takes time and effort, but it's worth it to feel free and confident in our sexuality. Here are some tips on how to do it:
So, let's break down the shame and embrace the pleasure. We're all sexy, beautiful, and unique. Let's celebrate our desires and have. some. damn. fun.
]]>Have you ever admired someone with a perfect, natural, glowy makeup look and wondered how they achieved it? You're not alone. Many women crave this effortless and stunning look, and the good news is that it can be achieved in just a few easy steps. We've been inspired by our recently launched Sandstone Scandinavia Limited Edition Box filled with some fabulous nude and bronze toned makeup products, that can help you achieve this effortless and stunning look.
Before you start applying makeup, it's important to prepare your skin. Start by cleansing and moisturizing your face. Then, apply a primer to even out your skin tone and create a smooth base for your makeup. If you prefer lighter coverage, you can skip the primer and opt for a light layer of foundation or BB cream.
Now, it's time to enhance your beautiful eyes with a natural, shimmering eyeshadow. Apply a nude eyeshadow tone to your lids using an eyeshadow brush, such as the Rusty 622 eyeshadow from the Sandstone Scandinavia Limited Edition Box. This highly pigmented eyeshadow adds a subtle pop of color with a shimmering finish that will complement your skin tone and create a radiant, glowy effect.
After applying the eyeshadow to your lids, take a clean blending brush and blend the edges of the eyeshadow up towards your eyebrows in circular motions. This will create a seamless transition and soften any harsh lines.
If you want to add more definition to your eyes, you can use an eyeliner, such as the Black & Bold Liquid Eyeliner from Sandstone Scandinavia, to create a thin line along your upper lash line. Just be sure to keep the liner thin and close to your lash line to maintain the natural look.
To finish off your eye makeup, apply mascare to your lashes. With the Grand Danois Mascara from our Sandstone Scandinavia Limited Edition Box you give your lashes volume and length without clumping or smudging. The delicious brush makes it easy to hit all lash hairs and distribute the mascara perfectly. The result is big, full lashes that will draw attention to your beautiful eyes while still keeping the natural and glowy vibe of the overall look.
Now it's time to add some color to your cheeks and a natural glow to your skin. Use a powder brush to apply the Infinite Summer Bronzer from Sandstone Scandinavia. This beautiful bronzer is highly pigmented and adds a beautiful, natural-looking glow to your skin. Start by applying the bronzer to the areas where the sun would naturally hit your face, such as your forehead, temples, cheekbones, and jawline.
Next, let's add a touch of color to your cheeks with blush. For creating that fresh and natural look aim for a peachy blush, such as this one from Comme Deux. Use a blush brush to apply the product to the apples of your cheeks and blend it out towards your hairline.
Finally, to add some extra glow to your makeup, you can use a highlighter to accentuate the high points of your face, such as the tops of your cheekbones, brow bones, and cupid's bow. Apply the highlighter with a fan brush or your fingertips for a natural-looking finish. Remember to blend it out for a seamless and radiant glow.
To complete the look, apply the Intense Care Lipstick in Soft Touch from the Sandstone Scandinavia Box to your lips. This lipstick gives your lips a natural, glossy look without feeling sticky. It's perfect for adding a touch of color and shine to your lips without going overboard.
Here we go! You've achieved a beautiful, natural, glowy makeup look using Sandstone products. Remember, the key to this look is to enhance your natural beauty without going overboard. This is a perfect look for any occasion and any age group. With a little practice, you'll be able to create this look in no time.

]]>Supplements can be an important part of a healthy lifestyle, but many people are turned off by the thought of swallowing pills or capsules. That's where gummies come in - they offer a fun and easy way to supplement your diet with essential nutrients. But are gummies really effective? And how do they compare to traditional supplements? In this post, we'll dive into the world of supplemental gummies, with a focus on hair gummies, and explore their benefits.
Many people wonder if gummies are really an effective way to supplement their health. The answer is yes!
Studies have shown that gummies can be just as effective as traditional pills or capsules in delivering nutrients to the body.
For example, one study found that gummy supplements containing omega-3 fatty acids were just as effective as traditional fish oil capsules in improving omega-3 status in healthy adults. Another study found that a gummy supplement containing vitamin D was just as effective as a traditional capsule in improving vitamin D status in elderly women.
Hair growth supplements have become increasingly popular in recent years, as people look for ways to support healthy hair growth. Biotin, zinc, and vitamin C are some of the nutrients that are commonly included in hair growth supplements. These nutrients play a vital role in supporting healthy hair growth by promoting the production of keratin, a protein that makes up hair. Biotin, in particular, is a key nutrient for hair growth, as it helps to strengthen hair follicles and prevent hair loss.
A study published in the Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology found that taking a daily biotin supplement for 90 days led to significant improvement in hair thickness and overall hair quality
Did you know that we have recently developed our own Goodiebox Wellness HAIR Boost Gummies? We developed these gummies to provide a convenient and effective way to supplement your diet with essential nutrients for healthy hair growth. Each gummy is packed with biotin, zinc, and vitamin C - the holy trinity of hair health - in high concentrations.
With just one gummy a day, you can easily meet your daily needs. But what truly sets our gummies apart is the quality of our ingredients. They are sugar-free, vegan, halal, and free of artificial colors and flavors. Plus, their natural raspberry flavor makes them a delicious and healthy treat. Have a look here: Goodiebox Wellness HAIR Boost Gummies
A study published in the Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology found that daily supplementation with biotin, zinc, and vitamin C for 180 days led to significant improvement in hair growth and quality in women with self-perceived thinning hair.
Hair gummies have become a popular and convenient way to supplement your diet with essential vitamins and minerals for healthy hair growth. By regularly consuming hair gummies, you can provide your hair with the necessary nutrients to promote growth, prevent hair loss, and improve overall hair health. If you're looking for an easy and tasty way to improve the appearance of your hair, incorporating hair gummies into your daily routine may be the solution for you. So why not give them a try? Your hair (and taste buds) will thank you!
]]>Have you ever looked down at your hands and thought, "Wow, these are looking a little dry and rough?" If so, you're not alone. Our hands are exposed to a variety of harsh environmental factors every day, from extreme temperatures to frequent washing (not to forget all the hand sanitising that has become a part of our daily lives now!), all of this can take a toll on the skin. But fear not, because we've got the ultimate guide to beautiful hands right here.
Drinking plenty of water is essential for maintaining healthy skin, including your hands. When you're dehydrated, your skin can become dry, flaky, and itchy. Make sure you're drinking at least 8 glasses of water a day to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out.
It's important to wash your hands regularly to prevent the spread of germs and bacteria. However, frequent washing can also strip the skin of its natural oils, leading to dryness and irritation. To combat this, use a mild soap and avoid using hot water, which can further dry out the skin.
When you're doing household chores or cleaning, it's a good idea to wear gloves to protect your hands from harsh chemicals and hot water. This will help prevent dryness and irritation, keeping your hands looking and feeling their best.
A good hand cream is an essential part of any hand care routine. Look for a cream that contains moisturizing ingredients such as glycerin, hyaluronic acid, shea butter, or jojoba oil. These ingredients help to hydrate and nourish the skin, preventing dryness and improving the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
The Rock Roses lotion from Marie-Stella-Maris enriched with shea butter and almond oil is specially formulated to provide intense hydration and nourishment to your skin, leaving it feeling soft and supple all day long.
Some hand creams may contain ingredients that can be irritating to sensitive skin, such as fragrances or alcohol. Fragrances can cause allergic reactions or irritate the skin, while alcohol can be drying and strip the skin of its natural oils. So if you're one of those who constantly cream but it only gets worse, it's time to try a fragrance and alcohol-free hand cream. Especially, if you have sensitive skin, it's best to avoid products that contain these ingredients.
However, choosing the right products goes beyond just hand cream. In addition to hand cream, consider adding a nail oil to your routine. Nail oil can help to strengthen and moisturize your nails, preventing them from becoming dry and brittle. Look for a nail oil that contains nourishing ingredients such as vitamin E, jojoba oil, or almond oil.
Also hand scrubs are a great addition to any hand care routine as they can help exfoliate rough, dry skin and leave your hands feeling soft and smooth. Use a gentle hand scrub once or twice a week by massaging it into your hands and rinsing it off with warm water. Look for scrubs that contain moisturizing ingredients like shea butter or coconut oil and avoid harsh, abrasive scrubs.
Made with gentle exfoliants like dried raspberry seeds and hydrated silica, the 100% natural hand scrub from Human+Kind removes dead skin cells while nourishing ingredients like shea butter and sunflower oil leave your hands feeling moisturized and soft.
To keep your hands looking and feeling their best, it's important to apply hand cream regularly. A good rule of thumb is to apply hand cream at least twice a day, or more often if your hands are feeling particularly dry. Be sure to apply hand cream after washing your hands, as this is when your skin is most in need of hydration. Additionally, you can apply hand cream before bed and wear cotton gloves to allow the cream to penetrate the skin overnight for maximum hydration.
While it's important to apply hand cream regularly, it's also possible to overdo it. Applying too much hand cream can lead to a greasy feeling, and the skin may become dependent on the cream, making it difficult to retain moisture without it. Use a pea-sized amount of hand cream to moisturize both hands adequately.
In conclusion, beautiful, healthy hands and nails are achievable with a consistent hand care routine that includes regular washing, hydration, and the use of the right products such as a good hand cream, nail oil and once in a while hand scrub. By following these tips and tricks, your hands and nails will be soft, smooth, and youthful-looking in no time. So go ahead, show off those gorgeous hands and nails!
]]>Taking care of your makeup brushes is just as important as the makeup itself. Not only does regular cleaning keep your brushes looking and performing their best, but it also helps to prevent breakouts and skin irritation. But how do you clean your brushes, and how often should you replace them?
"Clean brushes = clear skin. It's as simple as that."
Bobbi Brown, founder of Bobbi Brown Cosmetics
When you use a brush to apply makeup, it can pick up all sorts of dirt, oil, and bacteria from your skin. Over time, this buildup can lead to breakouts, skin irritation, and even infections. Plus, if your brushes are caked with old makeup, they're not going to work as well - you'll get uneven coverage, streaks, and clumps.
Ideally, you should clean them after every use to prevent buildup of makeup, oil, and bacteria. However, we all know that life can get in the way, so aim to clean them at least once a week.
"Cleaning your makeup brushes is like doing laundry for your face."
Michelle Phan, makeup artist and YouTube personality
If you use your brushes every day or apply heavier makeup, you may need to clean them more often.
When it comes to cleaning your brushes, you'll want to use a gentle, soap-free cleanser that won't damage the bristles. There are plenty of brush cleaners on the market, but you can also use a mild shampoo or a gentle facial cleanser. Make sure to avoid using hot water or harsh chemicals, as these can cause the bristles to become brittle or even fall out.
So, how do you actually clean your brushes? It's easier than you might think! Here's a step-by-step guide:
Note: It's important not to let the brushes dry standing up, as this can cause water to seep down into the ferrule (the metal part that holds the bristles) and loosen the glue that holds the bristles in place.
Even with proper cleaning, your brushes will eventually start to wear out. You should replace your brushes every 6 to 12 months, depending on how often you use them and how well you take care of them. Look for signs like shedding bristles, splayed bristles, or a misshapen brush head. Investing in high-quality brushes can also help to extend their lifespan. At Goodiebox we work with high quality brands such as Niré, L'oreal and Mesauda cosmetics.
Taking care of your makeup brushes isn't just about keeping them in great condition - it's also essential for your skin's health. So, don't forget to add brush cleaning to your beauty routine - not just your brushes, but also your skin will thank you!
]]>As we age, our skin loses elasticity, causing wrinkles and fine lines to appear. While some people turn to Botox and other invasive treatments to combat these signs of aging, more and more people are turning to natural methods, such as face yoga. In this post, we'll explore why face yoga is becoming an increasingly popular choice for anti-aging, and we'll share some examples of great face yoga practices and teachers.
Face yoga is a natural and holistic approach to anti-aging that offers numerous benefits, such as increased blood flow, improved muscle tone as well as reduced stress and tension, which can contribute to premature aging.
According to a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association Dermatology, regular practice of face yoga can improve skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Experts also suggest that the increased blood flow and muscle toning benefits of face yoga can help prevent the formation of new wrinkles.
Here are some simple face yoga poses you can try at home:
To get the most out of your face yoga practice, try to do these exercises every day, holding each pose for 10 seconds and repeating each pose three times.
Here are some great face yoga teachers to follow for anti-aging techniques:
Did you know that as a Goodiebox member, you get exclusive access to our Face Yoga program featuring Susanne Bøg Holm, a professional Face Yoga instructor from Gleam. In various videos, she will teach you how to practice face yoga, with the best effect on your skin. Plus, a 5-week program gives you an idea on how to start your face yoga journey. Susanne is ready to guide you on this exciting journey, and we can't wait to hear from you about incredible results.
By practicing face yoga regularly, you can improve the appearance of your skin and reduce the signs of aging naturally, without resorting to invasive procedures like Botox. So give it a try! Who doesn't have 5 minutes in the morning?
]]>If you're a beauty enthusiast, you've probably heard about Gua Sha, the ancient Chinese healing technique that's been gaining popularity in the western world as a beauty treatment. But with so many beauty tools and treatments out there, you might be wondering - is Gua Sha just another overrated beauty tool, or is it something you really need? Let's take a closer look.
Gua Sha is a traditional Chinese healing technique that involves using a smooth-edged tool to apply pressure and scrape the skin in long strokes. It's been used for thousands of years to promote circulation, reduce inflammation, and improve overall well-being.
"Gua Sha is like a workout for your skin. It increases circulation, helps to flush out toxins, and can even help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles."
Dr. Ava Shamban, board-certified dermatologist and founder of SKINxFIVE
The short answer is - yes, Gua Sha is worth the hype! Here's why:
It's a natural, non-invasive treatment. Unlike more invasive procedures like Botox or fillers, Gua Sha is a natural, non-invasive treatment that doesn't involve any needles or chemicals.
It's affordable. Gua Sha is relatively inexpensive compared to many other beauty treatments, and you can easily do it at home with just a Gua Sha tool and some oil or another lubricant.
It can improve the look and feel of your skin. Gua Sha is believed to help reduce puffiness and inflammation, promote lymphatic drainage, and stimulate collagen production for a firmer, more youthful-looking complexion.
It's relaxing. Gua Sha is a gentle, soothing treatment that can help you unwind and de-stress after a long day.
It's a great way to practice self-care. Taking the time to care for yourself and your skin is an essential part of self-care, and Gua Sha is a simple yet effective way to do just that.
Not only is Gua Sha loved by beauty experts and wellness practitioners, but it's also a favorite of many famous women. Here are are just a few examples:
Miranda Kerr, Australian model and founder of KORA Organics, has spoken publicly about her love for Gua Sha and how she uses it regularly to enhance her skin's natural radiance.
Gwyneth Paltrow, actress and founder of Goop, has featured Gua Sha in her wellness recommendations and has shared her personal experience with the technique on her website.
Jessica Alba, actress and founder of The Honest Company, has credited Gua Sha as one of her beauty secrets and has shared her love for the technique in interviews.
Elle Macpherson, Australian model and wellness entrepreneur, has shared photos on social media of herself using a Gua Sha tool and has spoken about how it helps to sculpt and tone her face.
In conclusion, Gua Sha is not just another overrated beauty tool - it's a natural, non-invasive treatment that can help improve the look and feel of your skin, promote relaxation, and practice self-care. Give it a try and see the benefits for yourself!

]]>Do you ever find yourself thinking negative thoughts about yourself? Maybe you're not good enough, smart enough, or attractive enough. Or do you criticize yourself harshly, even when you're doing your best? Sounds familiar? You're not alone. Many women struggle with negative self-talk, and it can have a significant impact on mental health and self-esteem.
The good news is that there are practical steps you can take to banish negative self-talk and practice compassionate self-care. Here are six steps to get you started:
The first step in banishing negative self-talk is to become aware of it. Pay attention to the thoughts that go through your mind and identify the ones that are negative or critical. Write them down in a journal or on your phone. This will help you to recognize patterns and triggers.
Once you've identified negative self-talk, challenge it. Ask yourself whether these thoughts are true or helpful. If not, try to reframe them in a more positive and self-compassionate way. Here are a few examples of reframing negative self-talk:
Self-compassion means treating yourself with the same kindness, concern, and support that you would offer to a good friend. Practice self-compassion by acknowledging your feelings and validating them without judgment. Treat yourself with empathy and kindness.
Instead of dwelling on your shortcomings, focus on your strengths and accomplishments. Write down three things you're proud of or grateful for each day. This will help you to shift your focus to the positive aspects of your life.
Surround yourself with people who uplift you and make you feel good about yourself. Avoid people who are negative, critical, or unsupportive. Surrounding yourself with positivity can help you to maintain a positive mindset.
Michelle Obama has discussed the pressure she felt as a young woman to be perfect, saying "I had to learn how to put aside the doubts and the fears and just go for it." Take action despite doubts and fears. Practice self-compassion and give yourself credit for trying, even if you don't succeed.
In conclusion, negative self-talk can have a significant impact on your mental health and self-esteem. By following these 6 steps you can banish negative self-talk and practice compassionate self-care. Remember that changing your inner dialogue takes time and effort, but it's worth it in the end.

]]>Are you aware of how important good skincare is? From protecting your body's first line of defense to boosting your confidence and practicing self-care, taking care of your skin can have a huge impact on your overall well-being.
Maybe you've struggled with acne, dryness, or signs of aging, and you just can't seem to get your skin to look and feel the way you want it to. Or maybe you've never really given much thought to your skin, and you're starting to realize that it's time to start taking care of it.
Whatever your relationship with your skin, there's no denying that good skincare is important. Here are just a few reasons why:
Think about everything your skin does for you on a daily basis. It works hard to protect you from harmful elements, such as UV radiation, wind, pollutants, bacteria, viruses and more, which can cause dryness, irritation, and other issues over time. A good skincare routine can go a long way in keeping your skin healthy, radiant, and even slowing down the signs of aging.
Your skin works hard to protect you daily, so return the favor with a healthy skincare routine to keep it glowing and fight signs of aging.
Let's be real: when you feel good about your skin, you feel good about yourself. Clear, healthy skin can help boost your self-esteem and make you feel more confident in your own skin. It can also help you put your best face forward, whether you're at work, out with friends, or just running errands.
"I always say, 'Take care of your skin. It's going to represent you for a very long time,'"
Jennifer Lopez
There's something really special about taking a few minutes every day to pamper your skin. It's a small act of self-care that can have a big impact on your overall well-being. Whether you're applying a face mask, massaging in a luxurious moisturizer, or just splashing your face with water, taking care of your skin can help you feel more relaxed and centered. Did you know that Gua Sha Stone massage has even proven to reduce stress and help relieve tension in the face?
Your skin is an investment in your future, so make sure you're taking care of it today! You might be surprised at just how good it can make you feel.
