It’s that time of year again… a new school year, a new beginning, a new start or the perfect ending. The time where we change our outfit 6+ times until we find that perfect back to school outfit. The time we’re eager to know if our friends have the same classes as us. Having the courage to try out for the sports team or join school clubs to be more proactive during this school year. The perfect time to try a new lifestyle routine. Most importantly, the time to discover something new about ourselves and use it to become a better version of ourselves.

A few tips for a healthy school routine:

• Making sure to get 8 hours of rest.

• Brush your teeth twice a day, In the morning when you wake up and at night before bed. Don’t forget to floss.

• Wash your face twice a day in the morning when you wake up and at night before bed to wash away the dirt from throughout the day.

• Stay hydrated. If you don’t have one already, I recommend investing in a hydro flask. It’s easy to get your 8 cups of necessary water and keeps the water cold all day long which is necessary in this California heat. You can get one at Tillys or Target in the Menifee MarketPlace on Haun Rd.

• Eat 3 square meals a day to keep your energy and stamina up.

• Lastly, prioritize. Be sure to make enough time for everything necessary, school, extra curriculars, homework, study, free time.

We want the way you feel on the inside to radiate on the outside. Most importantly, we want you to start this year off with confidence and end strong. Look, feel, and do your best.
