3 TIPS TO OWN YOUR WORKOUT By Handstand Contributor Serena S.

We are more alike than you may think. At the end of the day, I’m a girl who wants to maintain a certain level of health, flexibility, and strength. I want to workout often, understand how to eat well and have somebody else tell me what to do at the gym. I don’t want to have to think too hard about it, or else I won’t do it.

On any given day I’m standing for 4+ hours at a time, moving,…

3 TOTAL BODY EXERCISES TO MAXIMIZE YOUR WORKOUT By Handstand Contributor Serena S.

We are all tight on time. It’s a challenge that prevents a lot of us from fitting in our workouts but is also something that can be overcome. I always tell my clients to get away from the idea that you need to dedicate a full hour to the gym.

#FRESHFACEFRIDAY - MOISTURIZE & REPLENISH WITH CHARCOAL By Handstand Contributor Mia E.

REVIEW: ANDALOU NATURALS MEYER LEMON CREAMY CLEANSER

This is the first product that I have used from Andalou Naturals and when I bought it I hadn’t realised that the product contains Manuka Honey.
