{Beauty} Finding Joy In The Journey Featuring Origins Three Part Harmony #ad

And as a result, this year I have accomplished things that I never even really thought were possible. For one, I have started running. This was huge for me because I have health issues that affect my legs.  And while I walked many a race and even walked a marathon back in my 20’s, the last thing that you could have told me at the beginning of this year that I would be doing is running.

And I love the sense of freedom that it gives me. I also love how more connected I feel to myself. It reminds me to listen to my body more and not just mindlessly go about, to be in harmony with my entire body.

I ran my first 5K at the end of July. I wish I could bottle the sense of gratitude and aliveness that I felt when I crossed that finish line and high five’d Kevin Hart. That very moment confirmed for me something that I have always believed but have not always lived for one reason or another: anything is possible.

Age is truly just a number. As long as there is air in your lungs, there is possibility. And so my next run is coming up in October. It’s a longer run, so I am preparing for it and I am excited for the challenge of it.

And speaking of harmony, I was really excited when Origins invited me to share their latest line, Origins Three Part Harmony with you. For one, I have been a huge fan of the brand since I used their Peace of Mind on the spot therapy in my 20’s. It feels almost as if I have come full circle with the brand, from that time of angst to now, 20 years later, where I am so much more in sync with myself.

The Origins Three Part Harmony Oil-infused Serum and Three Part Harmony Nourishing Cream are designed with three goals in mind: to renew, repair, and restore radiance using the power of nature to help create your most optimally youthful and healthy skin.

I love that it is infused with plant butters, vitamin e and one of my favorite flowers, the Tazetta Lily Bulb, also known as the Paperwhite Lily. It is used to help visibly repair the skins structure. And using it could not have come at a better time for my skin now that Summer is ending and the cooler months are starting to set in.

Here I am applying the two part system to my face and neck. As a person who definitely fights off dryness from time to time, I love how moisturized my skin feels after I massage it in. I took these pictures in dead on sunlight to really give you a feel for the glow they leave on my skin.

I have been using the system for a little under a week but I am really excited to see how my skin continues to respond to it.
