Technique matters BIG time when you’re face taping , trust me on this one. If you do it wrong, you can actually make wrinkles worse 😬

So, why tape at all? I ditched Botox a few years ago and wanted other options. Face tape became one of my favorites because it helps train your muscles and skin to release tension and lift naturally. When you do it right, the results are amazing… but done wrong? You’re just creating new creases.

My sleep has been brutal lately. Just look at my Oura data.

Travel, stress, late nights… my nervous system has not been happy at all. And it’s not for lack of trying. I’ve tried so many things and nothing was helping me fall asleep and stay asleep… until I got my hands on the Sleep Well roller from Saje Natural Wellness.

All I have to do is roll Sleep Well onto my wrists, neck and temples, then take a few deep breaths. I do this about 15 minutes before going to bed and I pass out.

It’s made with valerian root, lavender, Roman chamomile and vetiver, all plants known to help calm the nervous system and support deeper sleep.

Sometimes the best routine is actually the simplest one.

And when sleep improves, everything improves. Skin, mood, energy.

Pro tip: you can also roll it onto the bottom of your feet before bed. The skin there absorbs oils really well and it’s a great way to help your body relax even faster.

If you’ve been struggling with sleep lately, this might be worth trying.

PS. I also got you a code. You can get 20% off with code ROSA. #SajeWellnessPartner #SajeWellness

If you actually want skin that ages well, you need to understand what retinol is doing beneath the surface.

Retinol is considered the gold standard in dermatology because it helps accelerate surface skin renewal.

The new @neutrogenacanada Rapid Wrinkle Repair Retinol Renewal Serum is formulated with retinol plus a skin firming antioxidant to help visibly improve the look of fine lines, wrinkles, pores, texture and radiance.

What makes this important, especially if you have sensitive or reactive skin like I do, is that this formula includes a soothing complex designed to help minimize potential irritation. That means you can focus on results without overwhelming your skin barrier.

Consistency is what creates visible change. Not trends. Not quick fixes.

The Rapid Wrinkle Repair Retinol Renewal Serum is available now on @amazonca

Always wear SPF during the day when using retinol.

Let’s take these sheds up a notch.

I was already using EMS leg pulsation with my @bionicgym , it simulates cardio through electrical pulses that activate the leg muscles, boost circulation, burn calories, and support lymphatic flow… all while staying still.

But now I’ve added EMS shorts from @jovs.official that target the glutes and stimulate the pelvic floor. It’s a passive workout that hits deep muscle groups, perfect while I’m masking, red-lighting, and sipping my olive oil + lemon shot.

Because why just shed when you can sculpt, stimulate, and support your nervous system all at once?

#LTKBeauty #LTKdayinmylife #LTKfitnessgoals

You don’t owe anyone your exhaustion.
Not your job.
Not your relationships.
Not the version of you that thought being tired meant you were doing enough.

Start giving a shit about yourself the way you’ve given everything to everyone else.

For me, taking care of my skin is more than what you see on the surface.
I’m regulating my nervous system.
I’m choosing me.
And I feel free in these moments.

It’s skincare that keeps me sane.

Everything I used for this shed ⤵️ Comment LINK and I’ll send you a link to everything

I can’t believe I never put this together before. 2025 was the year of the snake 🐍 - the year I honestly felt like “shedding” so much…. Now it all makes sense. But I want to know, were you shedding in 2025?!

Please tell me everyone has a night owl friend who loves a late night drive and a vent session?! I do and I’ll go if I must… but I will complain if it’s after my night routine.

Why am I like this 🤣.

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKfitnessgoals #LTKselfcare

My skin looks awful right now… and it’s normal.

I had thyroid cancer in 2008.
They removed my entire thyroid.
And for a long time, it controlled me.

A few years ago, my body started rejecting the medication I’d been on since the removal and that was my moment.
I decided no more. I switched medication, and while it took time to balance, it finally gave me my real self back.

By then, I had already started working on my health from the inside out.
My sheds became part of that, not just skincare, but nervous system care… and managing the long list of things that come with not having a thyroid.

A few things people don’t talk about enough:

Skin:
Dryness, puffiness, slower healing, texture, flare ups. Not aging, just a body trying to regulate.

Liver:
It now has to process all your hormone medication. When it’s sluggish, everything shows up in your skin, energy, and inflammation. Castor oil packs and drainage help me so much here.

Brain:
Brain fog, fatigue, mood shifts, anxiety, all normal when your thyroid is gone or imbalanced. Getting my meds balanced and calming my nervous system literally brought my clarity back.

Nervous System:
Losing a thyroid shocks your body. You feel it in digestion, sleep, energy, stress tolerance.
My sheds are how I regulate myself now.
They’re not aesthetic, they’re how I stay grounded.

So yes, my skin looks off today.
But it’s part of healing, balancing, rebuilding.

I’m not hiding it.
I’m not ashamed of it.
This is what it looks like to actually care for yourself.

If you’re in a season where your body is adjusting… you’re not alone. I’m right here with you.

#LTKgrwm #LTKselfcare #LTKfitnessgoals

This song might sound like heartbreak between two people,
but for me, it’s about the heartbreak of losing yourself.

The quiet kind.
The one that happens slowly
when life gets heavy and you stop hearing your own melody.

Sometimes it’s not about who you lost.
It’s about the goodbye you never gave to yourself.

But every day, you get another chance.
To listen again.
To choose yourself again.

Have you been feeling like something is off lately?
Like you’re tired, overwhelmed, or just not yourself… but you can’t quite explain why?

Yeah. Same.

Lately I’ve been realizing how much of that comes from pushing through, forcing things, and giving our time and energy to stuff that doesn’t actually feel good anymore.

So I’m curious…
have you been feeling this way lately too?

This one is raw. But have you ever felt like you’re here, but not really here?

Like you’re going through the motions, showing up, functioning… but something feels off.
Like you’re watching your own life instead of living inside it.

This is what dissociation can feel like.
Not dramatic. Not obvious.
Just quiet, numb, and deeply confusing.

If you’ve been feeling disconnected from your body, your emotions, or even the people you love, please know this… you are not broken. Your nervous system is trying to keep you safe after carrying too much for too long.

You don’t need to force yourself back.
You don’t need to “snap out of it.” The pressure will only make it worse.
What you need is safety, gentleness and time.

If this resonated, I want you to know you’re not alone.

#LTKBeauty #LTKgrwm #LTKselfcare

You can tell a lot about my nervous system just by looking at my skin.

When I’m unregulated, my skin shows it, breakouts, inflammation, dullness.
It’s my body’s way of saying slow down.

So I do.
I shed. Even if it seems strange ..
it helps me feel grounded.
Mouth tape, face mask, under-eye mask, forehead tape, nose tape
rolling with castor oil, facial massage, yoga balls to release tension.
Pressure, warmth, movement, all of it helps calm my system and bring me back to center.

The truth is, when I take care of my skin, I’m really taking care of my nervous system.

#LTKBeauty #LTKselfcare #LTKdayinmylife

I would never recommend anything I haven’t tried myself, and trust me, I’ve tried a lot of tape 😅

I randomly picked up this boob tape at Winners and ended up loving it for face taping. It wasn’t too strong, which is exactly what you want for your skin. No marks, no irritation, and I didn’t even need oil to take it off. It was actually really gentle, which surprised me.

So if you’re at Winners and you see boob tape, grab it and try it on your face. You might end up loving it too.

Want a link to similar tape and the ones I actually use?

If your self care routine doesn’t freak out your family just a little…you’re playing too safe 😂
My red light masks + compression boots combo is giving
“mom is busy regenerating, ask your dad.” Vibes.

#LTKmomlife #LTKselfcare #LTKmorningroutine

The energy we had back then hahaha 😂

You best believe everyone (well almost everyone) that came to my house got a face mask and skincare treatment on Christmas Eve ;) cause that’s how we do!!!

True story, it happened to a friend of a friend of mine . Ps I love love love these forehead patches!

#LTKvlog #LTKselfcare #LTKBeauty

I mean… there are worse things I could be doing, right?

#LTKmorningroutine #LTKselfcare #LTKdayinmylife

Nervous system care + skincare, that’s the real anti-aging formula.

I’ve done the lasers, tried the products, booked the facials, all of it.
And I can tell you this: no matter what I did, if my nervous system was off, so was my skin.

Just like this day, I was under a ton of stress, I could feel it in my body, and of course, my face showed it too.

It’s not always hormones.
Sometimes it’s stress, anxiety, and everything we carry that never gets released.

Because your skin can’t heal in fight-or-flight.

Here’s everything I used in this Shed:
• Shoulder straightening band
• Castor oil wrap @queenofthethrones.canada
• Chest mask
• Clay compression mask
• Jaw strap with extra acupressure
• Silicone mask to keep everything together
• Mesh mask to protect from sticking
• Mouth mask
• Reusable forehead silicone mask
• Under-eye + over-eye masks
• Rice paper lower-face mask
• Red light therapy @redlighttherapyhome

#LTKmorningroutine #LTKgrwm #LTKselfcare

6/7 layers? Let’s go through it together.

Layer 1- Eye mask glasses from
Layer 2 - EMS short
Layer 3- red light mask @currentbody
Layer 4 - red light mask current body
Layer 5 - castor oil pack
Layer 6- rice paper face mask
Layer 7 - hair mask

I think I cheated since my under eye masks were stuck to the rice paper.

#LTKfitnessgoals #LTKselfcare #LTKBeauty

Did you know you’re not just one person?

You’re a system.

In Internal Family Systems, we’re made up of different parts, the ones that protect, push, rest, feel, and hope.
None of them are broken.
They all had a purpose.

Sometimes you just need to sit with yourself
to learn who you are
and what each part of you actually needs.

For me, that looks like choosing me.
A shed.
A skincare routine.
A workout.
A solo date.

Not to fix myself.
Not to become someone new.

Just to support all the parts that make me… me.

#LTKselfcare #LTKstorytime #LTKdayinmylife

I’m on a mission to get into the best shape of my life, without the gym.
This is part 1. I’m documenting the process, not just the outcome.
