Oh honey, 🍯 honey 🍯 ! Nothing is sweeter and healing as honey. 🍯🍯🍯

This golden nectar -- a gift from the Queen Bee 🐝 and Mother Earth 🌍 -- is incredible for healing and moisturizing with its antibacterial, antioxidant, humectant, and skin-barrier strengthening properties.

There are so many honey-integrated products these days. However, if you decide to apply honey directly onto the skin, users bee-ware. The quality and source of the honey matters.

Stay clear of the bear and commercialized honeys -- which may add irritating ingredients and/or processed sugars that can clog pores -- and opt for raw honey, unfiltered instead. And always, always, always do a patch 🩹 test to check for sensitivities.

started out as a passion project ❤️ for the both of us in the midst of last year's COVID pandemic. We were road-tripping through Yellowstone 🐃 talking about the skin issues was experiencing as a result of the ☀️ hot, dry climates through our western national parks.

started talking about natural homeopathic solutions for dry skin, preventive methods for eczema break-outs, and hydrating plant-based skin serums that might alleviate some of the dry inflammation that was turning into scaly reptile 🦎. After passionately fueling each other of new ideas, new plants 🌿 to try, new serums to find, and foods 🌮 to avoid, Age Like an Asian was born.

Our initial intent was to create and develop a new product line from Asian-derived ingredients 🇰🇷 that our Mothers always integrated into our diet and skin care -- we wanted to stay true to our passion -- to keep it simple, natural, and deliver a collection to our community that people could easily access, educate ourselves from, all while staying conscious of limiting consumer waste ♻️. We spent 6 months deep in research & development talking to various manufacturers, raw material suppliers, packaging companies, and chemists.

Heart-broken, we finally had to come to the conclusion that the beauty industry lacks transparency and unless we had millions of dollars 💰💰💰 to burn through, it was impossible for us to stay true to our ethos -- to bring a natural, clean product line to market, created from organic raw materials sourced from farms that practiced fair trade labor laws, and delivered to you in recycled, sustainable packaging 😞😢😭.

And here we are, almost a year after we've launched our passion project -- at a standstill because we refuse to compromise what we initially started. But we've learned so much along the way -- both about the beauty industry 💄, ourselves 👭, and what our friendship is capable of enduring ❤️.

So what's next? We're not sure... 🤔 but we do love hanging out together and making home-remedies to try on ourselves. And we'd love to hear from you -- what have you loved, hated, how could we pivot? 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️

Slimming body creams. Fascia rollers. Endermologie. We are a fan of using products and technology... if it makes you feel good. 💁‍♀️

Your body is not just a body. It is YOUR body, your sacred home. 🛕 Do you respect it? Nourish it? Do you love your home?

If your answer is anything other than yes, it's time to redecorate your mind with an evolution of attitudes. Because more important than any aesthetic result is the relationship with yourself and your body that only you can have.

That is up for you to design. The best designs? Start with Love. ❤️❤️❤️

Strength means allowing yourself to be vulnerable.

It's OK to take a pause and reconnect with yourself -- this means you're allowed to cry, scream, hurt, and ask for comfort. Give your heart and soul a fair chance to really get through the tough.

Endangered species status: Vulnerable.
Total population: ~22,000 - 31,000

Polar bears depend on sea ice for their existence and are directly impacted by climate change–serving as an important indicator species. By 2040, scientists predict that only a fringe of ice will remain in Northeast Canada and Northern Greenland when all other large areas of summer ice are gone. Global polar bear numbers are projected to decline by 30% by 2050.

Why does this matter to us?? Polar bears are at the top of the food chain and have an important role in the overall health of the marine environment, and they're an integral part of the Arctic ecosystem!

"Find people who can handle your darkest truths, who don’t change the subject when you share your pain, or try to make you feel bad for feeling bad. Find people who understand we all struggle, some of us more than others, and that there’s no weakness in admitting it.

Find people who want to be real, however that looks and feels, and who want you to be real, too. Find people who get that life is hard, and who get that life is also beautiful, and who aren’t afraid to honor both of those realities. Find people who help you feel more at home in your heart, mind and body, and who take joy in your joy.

Find people who love you, for real, and who accept you, for real. Just as you are. They’re out there, these people. Your tribe is waiting for you. Don’t stop searching until you find them."

If you have freckles, thank your DNA (and we're not talking about sun-damaged skin).

Freckles are composed of melanin, and they're considered a layer of natural protection against the sun's ray (which is why fairer skin types tend to have more freckles). We love freckle-faced beauties, and we want to remind you that while this is another layer of protection, you still need more protection!

🚫 Avoid retinol-based products -- this can make your skin more sensitive to the sun!
🚫 Limit sun exposure between the hours of 10AM-4PM
✅ Use SPF 30 or higher daily, even if it's a cloudy day out
✅ Integrate wide brim hats and clothing that has SPF built in

Embrace these tiny beauty marks, because no 2 freckles are the same!

All it takes it a bit of pH imbalance and the god-forbidding bacterial infection we all hate appears out of nowhere -- our dearest UTIs.

But don't fret, because if you pack your body with PACs -- specifically A-type proanthocyanidins -- it'll weaken this bacteria's ability to adhere and invade the bladder wall, leading to infection.

There are articles out there that say cranberry for a UTI is just a wife's tale, that it doesn't work... but as with anything, quality of source matters.

So cranberry juice or cranberry capsules -- which is better? Neither, sort of.

The best source is the source itself: a whole of bag of fresh cranberries, juiced. Add a second bag to your cart so you can repeat this potent dose if needed. And don't forget, drinks lots and lots and lots of water!
