Developing good habits
They say it takes 28 days to make something a habit, and this has proven true for me. The only catch is that if I go somewhere other than my home for a couple days or more, my habit inevitably breaks. I didn't floss while I was at Brevard, for example, because I couldn't stand being in the bathroom for more than was absolutely necessary.
Here are my healthy habits that I am trying to get back into:
Take a daily multivitamin
Leave it to my boyfriend to look out for my health. He got this for me as a present :) This one, especially for women, has 25% of your daily calcium needs, 100% iron, and 250% vitamin D, plus MANY more!
Wear sunscreen!!
For Godssake don't try to tan all the time, unless you want to have nasty leathery skin for the rest of your life. The best way to look younger longer is to apply sunscreen EVERY DAY. I've heard that you should apply a minimum of SPF 15. I use SPF 45, because I'm in Miami...helloooo sun! I love this Neutrogena Ultra Sheer, because you can't really feel it on your skin once it dries...and I HATE greasy, oily sunscreen.
Brush and FLOSS
Yeah, that's right, extra whitening...have you seen my teeth? I can't stress it enough, though you probably hear it enough from your dentist...floss every day! I should take my own advice. I get the brushing part, twice a day, no problem, but the flossing is where I get hung up. Some people may not have a big problem with it, but when your teeth are very close together, it's really hard to get the floss in between them...and if you don't, you'll get LOTS of cavities. I learned the hard way, in my childhood. Approximately 20 fillings, and 1 root canal later...I learned my lesson. C'mon stem cell researchers! I want some new teeth!
