Good morning . ♡
Your Daily Prayer
I yield to Your Spirit. Lord, order my steps today. I turn my heart toward You, Jesus.
Father, let Your name be written on my forehead, I am Yours and I will see Your face. (Revelation 22:4)
By the blood of Jesus, I disallow fear from entering my heart today, greed from entering my spirit, and discouragement from manipulating my mind. I am strong in you and because you finished all things, I finish all things.
Thank you for sending your son, in Jesus name I pray, amen.

Hi everyone! Excited to be the first writer on From Love Itself!
I’m not Brazilian by nationality but, I love Bruna Marquezine and the Brazilian national soccer team so and all things beauty, so here’s what I’ve picked up.
Hibiscus tea. It’s amazing for your lymphatic system, which basically means less bloating and better skin. Also getting lymphatic drainage massages pretty regularly. If you can try one even once a month, do it.
Nails that are always done. Like our Russian sisters, cuticle removal has always been standard in Brazil, and Russian manicures have made it way more accessible everywhere else. Even without polish, clean cuticles make your hands look completely different.
Coconut water and real food. Coconuts are the best natural sources of electrolytes, it’s low glycemic, and it’s great for your skin. Pair that with how Brazilians actually eat, papaya, Brazil nuts, root vegetables like yuca, eggs, legumes, lots of cabbage, and you start to understand why people look the way they do there. It’s a whole-food thing. Nothing extreme.
Moving your body outside. The steps culture you’re seeing blow up right now has been normal in Brazil for years. Walking, beach volleyball, boxing, lifting. The difference is that women there usually do something outdoors on top of the gym. You’re getting exercise and sun at the same time, which is the cheat code.
Moisturizing like you mean it. They moisturize a lot, I mix coconut oil and rose oil after a shower while my skin is still damp, and when I’m consistent with it, the difference is obvious. At least four times a week. That’s the baseline. Also scrubbing your skin with exfoliating gloves and then without, but with a scrub twice a day girl!
None of this is complicated. Drink your hibiscus tea, eat real food, get a little sun, take care of your skin. The whole “Brazilian beauty secret” is really just consistency and paying attention to the basics. Consistency alone accomplishes nothing, you have to be consistently disciplined too. 😇
NEWS N CLUES ABOUT WHATS NEW(S)

one dose of psilocybin made smokers six times more likely to quit than a nicotine patch. a Johns Hopkins study of 82 people found that after six months, 17 who took psilocybin had stayed off cigarettes versus only 4 in the patch group. everyone also got therapy. psilocybin doesn’t target nicotine receptors at all. it works by disrupting brain networks and possibly making the brain more flexible. smoking kills 480,000 Americans a year and there hasn’t been a new treatment in 20 years. the NIH is now funding a bigger trial
