Taking care of yourself is more than just working out, or eating a healthy meal occasionally. It’s about taking care of all parts, inside and out! That means eating well, staying active, sleeping enough, and making sure what you put on your skin is good for you!
Chemistry Cachet is a huge advocate for watching your foods and making sure you eat to help your body, especially if you suffer from health issues. After struggling with rheumatoid arthritis for 20 years now, I have personally seen how much of a difference it makes when you eat non-processed healthy foods!
Foods like lemon (read this post on how awesome it is for you), pineapple (and this post on why it is so unique), switching to pink salt, and integrating other healthy choices keep your body working as good as possible. It’s hard enough when you struggle with health issues, you definitely don’t want to contribute to the problem by eating foods that hinder your health.

So, eating well is an obvious solution to your health, but taking care of the outside of your body is important too. It is so much more than just staying active or working out, but the products you put on your body are incredibly crucial too.
As a chemist, I am truly shocked sometimes at the chemicals found in everyday products like make up, face cream, or face wash. I analyze everything and usually put things back if the ingredient list is too chemically potent.
I end up sticking with natural solutions when I can like coconut oil or trying to buy organic products.
My good friend Shanley at Just Betty Blog is currently sharing her journey with hormone problems. She shares so many amazing products that she has tried for her skin since making the switch to organic. I have been loving following along with her the past few months and seeing all the great stuff she is trying.
Sticking with organic skincare is really important if you have skin issues, but there are so many different items on the market, it’s hard to know what works and what doesn’t! You will love following her blog and seeing her journey!
And, we have an awesome giveaway for you in honor of taking care of yourself! These are tried and true skincare products that are effective and great for your skin. This is the sea collection complete with all these amazing summery scents. This beauty box has the hair/body oil, mermaid mask, AND siren serum!

I’ve shared this before, but I cook a lot of paleo since my husband can’t have dairy. Finding delicious cookbooks that have good recipes are hard to find, and it so nice to have great meal options!
This is perfect for summer too!

I completely agree that health comes from the inside out, not merely from working out! What you fuel your body with matter more than exercising, in my opinion.
I totally agree! I don’t get to exercise too much with RA, but I eat so healthy it helps me stay in shape just with good foods!!!
Awesome! I know a little about Paleo, but not a ton. My boss is doing Paleo right now. He is even having the meals delivered to his door. haha
I really just do paleo for my husband since it doesn’t involve dairy, which he can’t eat. I am not a huge meat eater, so I don’t personally like it too much. I guess I am more of a a plant based eater! But my husband is a huge meat fan, so it can be hard finding recipes that don’t always involve cheeses or butter! Having meals delivered sounds awesome!!! 🙂
I agree so much that taking care of your body on the inside is just as important as the outside! I love working out but no matter how much you work out if you aren’t eating right and taking care of your body it’s not going to matter. <3, Pamela Sequins & Sea Breezes
Soooo true!! If you don’t eat right, it almost defeats the purpose of working out!!!!
That’s a great giveaway! Thanks for introducing us to this cool new blogger!
Thank you!! She is awesome!! 🙂
I slack on sleep – trying to be better about it. I do eat right for the most part, so that’s good!

That is always the hardest thing getting enough sleep!! So much to do!
Isn’t it fascinating that health comes from both inside and out (and the mindset too). You’re lucky (and we readers are too) that you know about chemical compounds. Food compounds are one thing – creams, lotions, etc. are another… Going to go read Shanley’s blog and see what she’s discovered in her health journey. Thanks for the info that you always provide – your chemist tips are always fascinating and appreciated, Alexis!
Thank you Laurie!!! Shanley has such a neat journey to share with her hormone issues!! I love all the skincare products she shares too 🙂
I pinned the giveaway image! <3 What an awesome giveaway and awesome BONUS giveaway!

I pinned it! I LOVE paleo omg, she is the best! Thanks for such a fun giveaway!
She is the best!! Those recipes look amazing in that cookbook!!!! Thanks girl!!
Nice giveaway. Agree with the whole package of inside and outside health. I’ve been thinking more and more of what I put on my skin. So many products out there and it can get so confusing.
Thanks Michelle! There are so many products out there, it’s crazy!! It is such a trial and error figuring it out!
Oops, I did pin this.
I think I out the wrong Twitter name for Betty Blog. It should be Jennai (not Jennai74)
Can you change it for me?
No problem!!! I will make sure that is noted 🙂 Thanks for entering our giveaway, have wonderful day!
Great giveaway! Thanks for sharing at Home Sweet Home!
