Orangetheory Fitness

Orangetheory fitness in South Fargo focuses on science-based group workouts that target specific heart rate zones for maximum results.

"I recently started going to Orangetheory Fitness and I now understand the hype! I get a killer workout and listen to a bumpin' playlist (that I may or may not be dancing to in between reps) while being surrounded by a great group of humans and an encouraging coach. What's not to love!"

"Recently, I tried Salt2O and I've never experienced anything like it! Everyone should try it at least once."

Salt2O offers four heated individual luxury spas filled with 800lb of epsom salt for the ultimate relaxing, weightless experience and with many health benefits. Sessions are 60 minutes and membership packages are available.

"Salt2O is one of my husband and I's favorite ways to decompress. It is a great recovery for your body but more importantly gives you the space to clear your mind and feel refreshed."

Nautical Bowls Namaste Chai Mahana Fresh

Mahana Fresh in West Fargo takes grain bowls to the next level with fresh and dietconscious options. They offer dine-in, takeout or delivery and also have a rewards program.

"Mahana Fresh has become a great lunch spot for me! I love that their food is fresh, healthy and gluten-free! It's a quick and easy option that never gets old."

Namaste Chai is the perfect healthy pick-me-up for local lattes in Fargo. Their business runs on wheels and their hours and location schedule can be found on their website namastechaifargo.com

"Their recipes are traditionally made from scratch and the service is exceptional. There's nothing like a Namaste Chai latte to pick me up in the middle of my day!"

Superfoods are what Nautical Bowls is all about, offering nutrient-packed Açaí bowls in a fun atmosphere.

"Nautical Bowls comes to my rescue for the days that I am craving something sweet. Their acaí bowls are drool worthy and have the best assortment of no guilt ingredients—this is a yummy on the go treat."

HEALTH, WELLNESS AND BEAUTY

1. PICKING AT YOUR SKIN

Pro Tip: Add extractions to your next facial for enhanced skin benefits!"

"Listen, I know it can be tempting to pick at a blemish, but I promise it will cause more harm than good If you are having a weak moment, grab an ice cube or a cold spoon and rub directly on the blemish This will help take down the inflammation and will make it less appealing to pick at!"

Things To Avoid For Healthy Skin

2. OVER EXFOLIATING

"Exfoliation is great and is necessary in a solid skincare routine. However, over-exfoliating can damage your skin barrier which may lead to breakouts and dull, sensitive skin. I suggest alternating the days that you use a chemical and physical exfoliant and adding in a night of recovery with a hydrating mask/ cream in between!"

3. NEGATIVE ENERGIES

"We can all feel when negative energy comes into the room—it quickly brings you down. That is why it is so important to surround yourself with positive people in all areas of life. Good energies like this create environments for you to be your best self, accomplish the most and truly enjoy the moment."

GIVING

Into Tiktok Trends

"While there are certainly a lot of things to learn on TikTok, skincare trends are one thing to steer clear from. Remember that most of those sharing these trends are not licensed professionals and don't have the experience or knowledge to know what is good for YOUR skin. As these trends show up on your feed, run it by your Esthetician so they can tell if it's one to follow."

5. SAYING YES TO EVERYTHING

"I'm naturally a yes girl so saying no to anything is very difficult for me. However, I've come to know that taking on more opportunities does not always add quality to my life. Make sure that what you take on is something that you have room for, that brings you joy and that you can give 100% to. If needed, remove other items from your plate to make room for the things that you love most."

6. AT-HOME DERMAPLANING

"Dermaplaning is most effective when it's done correctly. At home dermaplaning really only gets the peach fuzz and can easily cause damage to the skin. Dermaplaning that is done by a licensed Esthetician is able to remove peach fuzz and dead skin in the safest and most sterile way possible. Trust me on this one—leave it to the professionals!"

7. TOO MUCH SCREEN TIME

"It's easy to get sucked into 'the scroll', but limiting your time on social will help you stay more present in your life. We don't realize how much stress is added just by being on our phones. Know that you are allowed to turn your phone off every once in a while to recharge (no pun intended) and enjoy the moment with those around you."

1.

"We all know how hard it is to get Vitamin D throughout the winter in North Dakota. The Isotonix Vitamin D is my favorite because it's a supplement that I can drink, that tastes great, and quickly absorbs into my system."

2.

"Sunscreen is my one desert island product that I just can't live without. The Summer Fridays Mineral Sunscreen is my go to because it's perfect for all skin tones, skin types, and skin types and makes my skin look so glowy and healthy!"

3.

"Okay, now I know that this applesauce went viral for the kids but honestly, it's a win for the adults too! I have at least 3 with me at all times. It's the perfect snack when I just need a little something in between work and dance practice."

4.

"This salve is a must in my bag! It is the perfect lip balm that actually heals my chapped lips but is also great for other dry areas (elbows!) or scrapes on your skin that needs a little TLC."

Tip: Put on your cuticles before bedtime!
