1.30 Friday Faves

Hi friends! Happy Friday! How are you? What are you up to this weekend? We have the usual basketball game shuffle, celebrating my brother’s bday, and I’m looking forward to a low-key pizza and movie night. I hope you have a relaxing and lovely weekend ahead.

Valentine’s nails:

More gluten-free pizza from Penelope Pizza:

Snuggles with Maisey and Emily in Paris:

Lola is going to be the biggest countertop bandit:

It’s time for the weekly Friday Faves party. This is where I share some of my favorite finds from the week and around the web. I always love to hear about your faves, too, so please shout out something you’re loving in the comments section below.

1.30 Friday Faves

Fashion, beauty, random:

I don’t think I’ve given it a proper blog shout out, but I’m obsessed with the OneSkin lip mask. It’s better than other lip masks I’ve tried and has cleaner ingredients, plus the OS-01 peptide for anti-aging. It’s plumping, super moisturizing (no dry lips this winter) and I looooove it. Use FITNESSISTA15 here.

Date night at Fleming’s! The Pilot goes frequently for a volunteer organization he belongs to, and I always feel left out lol. We planned a little date night and it was amazing. Fleming’s is a chain, but it’s one my favorite restaurants in Tucson. It’s consistently amazing every time. We really cut back on restaurant dining over the past year, but it’s one of the places that feels *worth it* to me.

(dress is here)

Read, watch, listen:

The live Tony Robbins event is everything so far. If you need a mindset shift and a huge boost, check it out on his YouTube channel.

Bridgerton is finally back and i’m sooooo ready.

Latest Substack is here about how I turned the blog into a business.

Fitness, health, and good eats:

Special delivery from my friends at Lovebird, my favorite cereal. I LOVE cereal but I don’t love the ingredients in most of them. It’s one of the few brands that I’ll buy on a regular basis and the kids love it, too. Our toddler neice is coming for a sleepover soon, and I’m excited to pack some up to share with her – I know she’ll love it, too.

 

This Thistle muffin was perfection:

Peptides Q&A:

If you’ve been hearing more and more about peptides and feeling curious (but also cautious) you’re not alone. That’s exactly why my friend Tina and I are hosting a Peptides Q&A Chat: a chill yet educational conversation between two practitioners who have seen meaningful results personally and in practice when peptides are used appropriately and responsibly.

This is not medical advice and not a protocol call; it’s an open discussion about what peptides are, who they may be helpful for (and who should wait), why foundations always come first, and how to approach peptides ethically through proper medical supervision. Our goal is to answer common questions, clear up misinformation, and help you feel informed as you make the best decisions for your unique body.

Thank you so much for stopping by the blog today! Have an amazing weekend and I’ll see ya soon!

Healthy homemade dog food recipe

Re-sharing this recipe for healthy homemade dog food because both dogs love it so much! I use We Feed Raw as the meat in this recipe, and you can use FITNESSISTA40 for 40% off! It saves me a trip to the farmer’s market, and is an amazing blend of meat and organs with no fillers or preservatives.  

Hi friends! How are ya? I hope that your day is going well! Today, I’m off to the kids’ school to volunteer and am looking forward to some time in the sauna blanket after a workout. It should be a pretty low-key day!

For today’s post, I’m calling on all dog owners. I wanted to share our dogs’ obsession with you: homemade dog food. If you’re looking to upgrade what you feed your dog, this simple recipe is PACKED with nutrients, and both dogs goes crazy with it.

Healthy homemade dog food recipe

(See the crazy eyes?? She’s INTO IT.)

TBH, I always felt a little bad giving Maisey packaged dog food because this creature LOVES fresh food. She’s constantly begging for scraps of broccoli and bell pepper (her two faves), has stolen an entire brisket off the counter (and ate it on our new white couch..), a whole chicken breast (bones and all, and thankfully didn’t get sick), as well as ramen and curry. But can you blame her? Knowing her flavor profile, I would pour her kibble into her bowl and feel a little bad for the gourmet gal. To spice things up, we would put Fresh Pet on top from Whole Foods (SO expensive and still felt like a block of packaged meat), but I knew there had to be a better way.

I started researching a ton, and found a vet-approved recipe online that inspired me to finally make our own.

I’m excited to share all of the details with you! It’s less expensive than Fresh Pet, with certified organic, farm fresh, and wild-caught ingredients, and I love that I know everything that went into it. No preservatives or extra stuff. Friendly reminder: always talk to your vet or veterinary nutritionist before changing your dog’s food. While this works for Maisey and Lola, it’s important to note that dogs can have different allergens, or may just be unable to tolerate certain things. It’s also helpful to gradually increase new foods so the transition is more gentle on their stomach.

Benefits of Homemade Dog Food:

Making your dog’s food at home can have a ton of benefits, including:

Control Over Ingredients: By preparing your dog’s food from scratch, you have full control over the quality of ingredients used, ensuring that your furry friend gets only the best.

Avoidance of Sketchy Ingredients: Conventional dog foods often contain questionable ingredients such as fillers, artificial preservatives, and low-quality meats that can be harmful to your dog’s health.

Tailored Nutrition: Homemade dog food allows you to tailor your dog’s diet to their specific needs, whether they require a certain protein source or have allergies to certain ingredients.

Increased Digestibility: Whole, fresh ingredients are more easily digestible for dogs, leading to better nutrient absorption and overall health.

Ingredients and Their Benefits:

The recipe that inspired this one is Dr. Judy’s Puploaf. She has the full post here, and you can actually order it online! Since this is more of a topper, Maisey still gets some “I and love and you” Nude Super Food kibble (you can order it from Thrive Market) in her bowl—I didn’t have to be as specific with ratios of ingredients.

I’m also including a few extra ingredients that aren’t in the original recipe, but they’re just as beneficial and yummy for your dogs. Just like humans, dogs thrive on meat and veggies. (Just make sure to avoid garlic and onions.)

Ground Beef: An excellent source of protein and essential amino acids for muscle health. Bonus points if it’s lean ground beef!

Ground Turkey: Low-fat lean protein that is packed with essential nutrients. It’s also considered hypoallergenic, making it a great choice for pups with allergies.

Organ Meats (Heart, Liver, Gizzards, Spleen): Rich in vitamins and minerals, including iron, zinc, and vitamin B12, vital for your dog’s overall health.

Butternut Squash: Packed with vitamins A and C, fiber, and antioxidants to support immune function and digestion. (Sweet potatoes are a great alternative.)

Sardines: A great source of omega-3 fatty acids, which promote healthy skin and coat, reduce inflammation, and support joint health. Sardines are one of Maisey’s all-time favorite foods!

Leafy Greens: Provide essential vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin K, calcium, and folate, for overall health and vitality.

Green Beans and carrots: Great for providing vitamins, minerals, and a high dose of fiber. Green beans and carrots help with things like vision, the immune system, and bone health. I was surprised to learn how much Maisey loves certain vegetables!

Eggs: Rich in choline, protein, and essential nutrients. If you’re using farm-fresh eggs, you can also add the shell. Since I use organic eggs from the grocery store, I use the membrane inside the egg whenever I use this ingredient in my recipe.

Oysters: High in zinc and selenium, important for immune function and thyroid health.

Cranberries: Rich in antioxidants and beneficial for urinary tract health.

Broccoli: Contains fiber, vitamins, and minerals, including vitamin C and calcium, for optimal health.

Bell Pepper: Provides vitamin A, vitamin C, and antioxidants to support immune function and eye health.

Flax Oil: A source of omega-3 fatty acids for healthy skin and coat, as well as joint support.

Ginger: Has anti-inflammatory properties and aids in digestion.

Brown Rice: A healthy addition to any diet because of its fiber, vitamins, and minerals.

Healthy homemade dog food recipe

Directions:

In a large bowl, combine ground beef, organ meats, butternut squash, sardines, leafy greens, oysters, cranberries, broccoli, bell pepper, and ginger. You may find this easiest to blend in a food processor, but it’s personal preference.

I keep the flax oil in the fridge and drizzle on a small amount before serving.

Mix the ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution.

Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and lightly bake for 20-30 minutes at 325°F.

Allow the food to cool before serving to your dog. Keeps in the fridge for up to 5 days, and you can freeze the rest in individual portions. I use Souper Cubes to feed our fur babies this super yummy meal until it’s time to make more! I just put them in the freezer.

Add in any other organ meats, like spleen, gizzards, or liver – we used a blend from a local farm that contained heart, spleen, and liver

2 cans of sardines in water

2 cans of mussels in olive oil

3 eggs (if farm fresh, use the shell. If from the grocery store, use the egg membrane on the inside of the shell)

1 cup butternut squash, chopped

1 cup of broccoli, chopped

2 bell peppers, seeded and chopped

a handful of leafy greens (I used chard), chopped

1 teaspoon of freshly grated ginger

1/2 c dried cranberries (make sure there is no added sugar, and no extra ingredients)

cold-pressed flax oil, to serve

Instructions

In a large bowl, stir the ground beef, organ meats, chopped butternut squash, sardines, leafy greens, oysters, cranberries, broccoli, bell pepper, and ginger. I keep the flax oil in the fridge and drizzle on a little before serving.

Mix the ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution.

Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and lightly bake for 20-30 minutes at 325°F.

Notes

Allow the food to cool before serving to your dog. Keeps in the fridge for up to 5 days, and you can freeze the rest in individual portions. I used Souper Cubes.

Low-Effort Wellness Habits That Actually Make a Difference

Sharing some of my favorite low-effort wellness habits that actually make a difference, because not everything has to be expensive or complicated. 😉 

Hi friends! How are you? I hope that you had a wonderful weekend! Ours was a busy one, but a great one. We managed to get in our first date night in a long time (the best!!) and had fun hanging out with the kids and pups. This week I have client calls, business mentorship calls, and am working on my IHP centurion modules.

For today’s post, I wanted to share some of my favorite low-effort wellness habits. To be honest, I love all of the gadgets and fun routines, but the reality is that a lot of them aren’t realistic for busy lives or tight budgets. The best health hacks in life truly are free, so I’m sharing some of my go-tos today with some of the fun *extras* at the end of this post.

(Please keep in mind none of this is medical advice)

Low-Effort Wellness Habits That Actually Make a Difference

Morning light.

Morning light makes a huge impact on energy and circadian rhythm. It tells your body, “Hey, it’s morning!” so that it can go on to produce melatonin at the correct time. Light in the morning = better sleep at night

Walking.

Walking is one of the top three things you can do for your health. I like to walk at least once a day, whether it’s walking Maisey (I can’t wait to walk Lola soon), strolling on my walking pad, or walking around Target or the mall with the crew. It’s great for overall movement and function, sleep, glucose control, core stability, so many things.

Simple supplements.

You do NOT have to take a boatload of supplements to have amazing results. The best supplements are ones that were recommended specific for you after functional testing, but here is the baseline I like: Daily Nutritional Support, Omega-3s, Vitamin D, and Magnesium. That’s it. (EquiLife has these cool starter stacks now!)

Sleep routines.

Sleep is free, and if you can get it, take it! It can be hard to make sleep a priority, especially if you’re a parent and nighttime is your only quiet time. I try to remind myself that doomscrolling is stealing my sleep, so I shut it down, read a book and try to get as much as I can. My sleep tips are all in this post!

Nervous system resets.

It’s easy to underestimate the impact that nervous system support has on overall health. You can’t heal in flight or fight, so if you’re an anxious and stressed person (like me lol), here are some things that can help: meditation, box breathing, journaling, time with friends, eating outside, time to do NOTHING (I tell a lot of clients to watch a mindless TV show they enjoy), time outside, hiking, yoga/stretching, etc.

(Coffee + Emily in Paris)

If you’re looking for *extras* here are some that I think are genuinely worth it:

Magnesium. SO many people are deficient in magnesium, especially because we burn through it when we’re stressed. This is my favorite one.

Red light. This one it a little pricey but you can use FITNESSISTA for a huge discount and it’s like the Swiss Army knife of wellness devices.

Electrolytes. These are inexpsneive and can help replenish the spark plugs of our cells. I recently switched to Trace eletrolytes from Thrive Market and love the taste and ingredients.

Blue light blockers. These are my go-tos.

EquiLife detox. I do this four times a year and always feel amazing afterwards. If you’d like to join in our community detox, get your kit here and then send me an email (gina@fitnessista.com subject DETOX). We have a round starting February 2.

If you’re looking for more, my top biohacking products are in this post.

You don’t have to go wild with gadgets and supplements to have a balanced routine. The best strategies are the ones that work for your budget and life. This is the foundation I build every client on before adding anything more advanced.

So tell me, friends: what are some of your favorite low-effort wellness habits?

Share the goods in the comments below!

1.23 Friday Faves

Hi friends! Happy Friday! How are you? What are you up to this weekend? I hope that all of my friends in the winter storm’s path stay safe and cozy. This weekend, we have an NCL event at the food bank, a date night (!), and a barre class. I’m also wrangling these little pups in between working through some IHP modules.

Last week, I had an amazing little trip to San Diego for our mastermind. We have events a few times each year, and I always look forward for the opportunity to brainstrom and share ideas, and learn from Jill. I was particularly excited for this one because it was an excuse to see my bestie Betsy and catch up with her.

My flight purposefully got in very early on Wednesday so I’d have some time to chill before the events. It has been pure chaos over here with little Lola – she’s SO sweet but man, puppies are definitely a lot of work lol – so I headed directly to Betsy’s. I got to see her before she headed off to work for the day, and I was able to use her house as a hub before our hotel check-in.

I grabbed coffee at Better Buzz and took it to Mission for an hour-long blissful walk by the ocean. Lunch was takeout from Tender Greens, which I took to Betsy’s to enjoy before some 1:1 client calls.

When Betsy got home, we took a Lagree class (the best!!):

(have this tank in at least 6 colors. It’s comfortable, long and doesn’t ride up, with a built-in bra)

and then went to dinner at Ponyboy. Its elevated 50s comfort fun with the opportunity to add caviar to many of their offerings. 😉 We will DEFINITELY be back! The drinks and food were SO good, and catching up with Betsy over food + cocktails was everything I needed.

I met my business bestie Giselle at the hotel, and the rest of the weekend was filled with sessions, brainstorming,

amazing meals, hikes, more Lagree (I went three days in a row for the 1st time ever. My legs and core also died), and sleeping through the night. Bless it.

It was so great to see Tina! We stay connected via text but I haven’t seen her in person in years.

It was just the little refresher I needed and it’s always a treat to be back in one of my favorite places.

(I wear these jeans all the time <– on sale right now)

For now, it’s time for the weekly Friday Faves party. This is where I share some of my favorite finds from the week and around the web. I always love to hear about your faves, too, so please shout out something you’re loving in the comments section below.

1.23 Friday Faves

Fashion, beauty, random:

A hike at Sabino Canyon with the fam. The river was running and the weather was perfection.

We can always count on P for snacks:

(the kids are obsessed with candy canes and I got the last box from the “last chance!” section at Whole Foods. Goodbye candy canes for another year.)

We also tried Chilln; a new ice cream spot in Tucson. You pick your base, mix-ins and toppings, and they instantly freeze it with Nitrogen so the texture is super smooth.

This is almond milk ice cream with olive oil and sea salt. I wanted to try something a little out there and this did not disappoint. We might have gone twice within 2 days 😉

Read, watch, listen:

Have you watched the recent season of Emily in Paris? I’m only a few episodes in and while i think it’s moving more slowly than previous seasons, it’s perfect escapism fluff.

Downloaded this to read.

Latest Substack here about how I turned the lil blog into a business.

Fitness, health, and good eats:

Local friends: Penelope pizza has gluten-free! You just have to call and order 24 hours in advance since they make everything in house and the bread takes that long to proof. This is definitely going to be a regular thing around here:

To be totally honest, I haven’t been the best about making healthy lunches for myself. The days are stacked with calls, so I’ve been grabbing quick bites like granola, meat sticks, or chips in the afternoon. I usually make a huge batch of soup, and was feeling souped out.

My friend Giselle recommend Thistle and it has been AMAZING. The meals don’t contain added gluten (some have oats, so just be on the lookout in the ingredients if you’re sensitive) and there are plant-based and meat-based options. I ordered four lunches and two snacks and they’ve all been fresh and delicious. You can try it and save 60% off your first week with my referral link here!

This red Thai curry with ground chicken with flavorful, had a ton of veggies and 29g of protein.

Thank you so much for stopping by the blog today! Have an amazing weekend and I’ll see ya soon!

Community EquiLife detox

Sharing the details about an upcoming Dr. Cabral 7-day detox. Sharing the details here and how to join in if you’d like!

Hi friends! How’s the morning going? I hope you’re enjoying the long weekend! I made it back from San Diego and it was right back into the activities: basketball games, family hike, ice cream and pizza night. It was perfect.

It’s hard to believe that the holidays flex by so quickly and we’re back into the school year. To be totally honest, I’ve been slow rolling this year. It’s taken me longer to get back in the swing of things – I FINALLY broke out my 2026 planner last week – and in case many of you were feeling the same way, I figured we’d wait until starting our Fitnessista Community Detox.

Community detox round 2 details

I feel SO GREAT after every single one and since it’s been a few months, so I’m ready for another round. Usually every January, I do some type of reset. Sometimes I cut out sugar and alcohol entirely for the month, other times, I’ll just focus on solid nutrition. Since I started implementing this detox years ago, it’s something I look forward to quarterly.

It feels amazing to get back in the habit of eating (and craving) vegetables and fresh foods, especially after the joyful avalanche of holiday sweets and cocktails.

Community detox details

Moderation is my jam now, especially since the days of depriving myself are long gone. If I want a sweet treat or something more indulgent, I eat it and enjoy every bite. It’s been a festive couple of months, and I’m feeling a bit sluggish and craving sugar more than usual. Usually by the time New Years rolls around, I’m looking forward to making my way back to more *normal* eating. I love to kickstart it with a little reset, and my favorite strategy is this liver-based functional medicine detox.

SO many of you joined me last time, so I wanted to invite you to join in if you’d like to go for another round. The fun starts February 2, so you can order your kit now and you’ll be ready to go!

EquiLife 7-day detox

Here’s more about this 7-day detox:

– It’s a liver-based detox to help reset your body, provide a break from digesting heavy foods, and potentially help your body eliminate toxins that we accumulate from our environment. It includes functional medicine ingredients and Ayurvedic herbs to support phase 1 and 2 liver detoxification.

– It’s nutrition-focused. It includes the POWERHOUSE Daily Nutritional Support powder (which I’ve had in my daily protein pudding for years now and notice a huge difference in how I feel when I include it), and meal guidelines for the remaining meals. The goal is to NOT have your body depleted of nutrients during the process.

– It can potentially help with weight loss, along with anti-aging, and total body wellness. 

– It’s only 7 days! When I first started working with a naturopath (back in the old days! It was like 2010), he had me do a month-long detox that was similar in format (but did not include the Ayurvedic supplements).

It’s so much easier to do for 7 days, and I feel like my results were even better from the extra nutritional support. (The first two days are supplements and smoothies only – I typically add in some berries – and on day 3, you add in nutrient-dense meals using their meal guideline/template.) It’s also very flexible; many people skip the fasting days and start the plan on day 3 (smoothie in the am, vegan lunch, Paleo dinner) and have excellent results.

EquiLife Community detox round 2 details

Top 6 ingredients that are included in the program:

1) N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC), which can stimulate the production of glutathione in the body

2) Glutathione, which is an antioxidant that can aid in healing and liver detoxification

3) Broccophane, an antioxidant that can enhance the liver’s detoxification ability

4) Alpha Lipoic Acid, another antioxidant that can improve detoxification

5) Triphala, a trifecta of Ayurvedic herbs that can support detox and digestion

6) Vitamins and minerals, to support the body and help to close nutrient gaps

Each detox kit includes the following: 

Daily Nutritional Support: 

This one-stop-shop for vitamins, minerals, protein, electrolytes, and antioxidants is the heart-and-soul of the Dr.Cabral Detox. With 15 grams of vegan protein, Daily Nutritional Support provides your body with much-needed energy and nutrition while your body begins to rid itself of toxins.

FM Detox:

Utilizing the most recent research in Functional Medicine, FM Detox provides the compounds necessary to support both phases of liver detoxification. Essential amino acids, antioxidants, and botanical extracts like milk thistle help the body to capture and move toxins to the liver where they can be metabolized and removed during phase two. Ingredients like dandelion root extract support the production of bile which aids in elimination. As a diuretic, dandelion root increases water supplied to the liver which facilitates toxin elimination in the urine.

AYU Detox:

Incorporating ancient Ayurvedic healing traditions that support optimal detoxification, the AM Detox helps begin the detox process. Various diuretics move water to the liver and increase the solubility of toxins. Triphala, the combination of three plants: Emblica Officinalis, Terminalia bellerica, and Terminalia chebula, have been studied for their roles in gastrointestinal health. When used in conjunction, it is suggested this powerful trio promotes the growth of beneficial gut microbes Bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus, while inhibiting the growth of undesirable strains.

(You can read more and explore scientific references here.)

Dr. Cabral detox program

Things I’ve noticed after doing this detox multiple times:

– As someone who has had gallbladder concerns in the past (that I was able to resolve on my own), I always like to show my liver some extra support. I don’t have gallbladder pain at ALL anymore (I think quitting fake meats helped with that, too), and after my first detox, it’s something I’ve continued to do on a quarterly basis.

– My energy can be a little low the first day, but by the second afternoon, I feel amazing. I’m energized, focused, my skin is glowing, and I feel great.

– It’s usually a very easy month for my cycle. I don’t have any cramps or PMS symptoms, and I’ve learned that the months I’m more strategic with my workouts, sleep, stress relief, and nutrition, my cycles are uneventful in the best way.

– It resets my tastebuds. When I have more sugar in my diet, things like fruit and salad start to taste muted to me. By bringing things back to basics, it reawakens my senses to what I like to food to taste like, and I can go back to fully enjoying my meals and being present at meal times.

– I don’t weigh myself regularly, but noticed that my clothes fit better after completely the detox. I feel less bloated and inflamed. You can read my recap of one of my first detoxes plus the recipes I used here!

This detox is NOT for you IF:

– you currently have or are recovering from an eating disorder. Keep working on improving your relationship with food and your health, and know that I’m cheering for you and sending you my love and support.

– you are training for a strenuous event or need to maintain a super active lifestyle. For days 1-2 you want to take it easy (walks, stretching, gentle yoga, or nothing at all). If you’re not able to do that, you can do a modified version of the detox by having the smoothies for breakfast and lunch, and then a nutrient-dense dinner at night. Let me know if you have questions on how to do this!

– You have any health concerns that would prevent you from joining in.

****As always, check with your doctor before making and fitness or nutrition changes. Honor your body.*****

How to join + an EquiLife discount code:

If you’d like to join in, you can click this link to purchase your kit and enter FITNESSISTA10 for 10% off your program! There are hundreds of amazing reviews on the site, too.

Once you order your kit, send me an email. I’m going to give you FREE access to my DetoxU course (I need help testing it out and would love your feedback) and our private Telegram group so we can stay connected and support each other along the way. Detox starts February 2.

OneSkin review and if it’s worth the price

Sharing my thoughts on OneSkin; a new line of products I’ve tried. I’m so excited to share my review with you! You can browse everything here and use FITNESSISTA15 for 15% off! My affiliate link is included in this post. Thank you for your support!

Hi friends! How are you? I hope you’re enjoying the day and that you had a lovely weekend.

For today’s post, I wanted to re-share this skincare fave!! I’m always interested in trying new skincare brands, and when I found out about this during the Biohacking Conference, I was intrigued.

OneSkin is a brand that has been gaining attention for its science-backed approach to skincare, particularly in anti-aging. So today I wanted to chat about what OneSkin is all about, highlight some of their top products, discuss the costs, and weigh the pros and cons.

"</a

OneSkin review and if it’s worth the price

What Is OneSkin?

OneSkin is a biotechnology company focused on developing skincare solutions that target the root causes of skin aging at the molecular level. The brand’s mission is to extend skin health and longevity by reducing the biological age of the skin. Founded by a team of scientists with expertise in stem cell research, OneSkin combines cutting-edge research with high-quality ingredients to create products that promote healthier, more youthful skin.

I was able to hear founder Carolina Oilveira speak at the Biohacking Conference, and she was amazing! She talked about habits for healthy skin and how the OneSkin technology worked. They use what they’ve dubbed OS-01, which is a novel peptide that targets senescent cells. Dr. Cabral refers to these types of cells as “zombie cells,” as they cause oxidation, which in turn leads to inflammation and accelerated again. If you’ve been curious about peptides, this is a nice topical version.

Top Products

OneSkin offers a range of products designed to address various aspects of skin aging. When I first heard about it, I couldn’t wait to try the body products, like the SPF moisturizer and the body lotion.

Here are some of my favorite products:

1. OS-01 Face

The flagship product, OS-01 Face, is a topical supplement designed to improve skin health and appearance. It contains the OS-01 proprietary peptide that targets senescent cells, which are cells that contribute to aging and inflammation. The formula is also packed with antioxidants and hydrating ingredients to support overall skin health.

2. OS-01 Body

Similar to the OS-01 Face, this product is formulated for the body. It aims to enhance skin health by targeting aging at the cellular level, promoting firmer, more elastic skin. It’s ideal for areas prone to aging such as the neck, décolleté, and hands.

3. OS-01 Eye Cream

The OS-01 Eye Cream is specifically designed to address the delicate skin around the eyes. It aims to reduce the appearance of fine lines, dark circles, and puffiness, providing a more youthful and rested look.

3. OS-01 Lip Mask

Possibly my favorite lip product of all-time. It’s super thick and hydrating, which is the best over the winter months!

Here’s a breakdown of the costs:

They’re definitely premium products, and the prices reflect the advanced research and high-quality ingredients used in the formulations.

Additionally, OneSkin offers subscription options, which can save customers around 10% on their purchases. My discount code FITNESSISTA15 will get you 15% off, which is an even better deal!

Pros

Science-Backed Formulas: OneSkin’s products are developed based on rigorous scientific research, focusing on the root causes of skin aging.

Targeted Ingredients: The use of proprietary peptides and other potent ingredients helps address skin aging effectively.

Positive reviews: Many users report noticeable improvements in skin texture, firmness, and overall appearance.

Cruelty-Free: OneSkin is committed to ethical practices, ensuring their products are not tested on animals.

Cons

Price Point: The premium pricing may not be accessible for everyone.

Limited Product Range: While effective, the current product range is relatively small compared to other skincare brands.

Results May Vary: As with any skincare product, individual results can vary, and some users may not experience the same benefits.

My thoughts:

I bought a few products while we were at the Biohacking conference, including the eye cream, body lotion, and the SPF tinted face moisturizer. Initially, I noticed that the products feel thinner in texture. They’re not greasy at all, and also are instantly absorbed into the skin. I like this because my skin already tends to be on the oily side, but I also like thick, luxe, super moisturizing products. It’s like my skin instantly drinks the product, which means it’s quickly absorbed.

The bottles are a bit of a higher price point, but I think it’s worth it, especially if they improve skin texture. I spent around $260 for the three products initially and they lasted 3 months.

I think that the tinted SPF is 100000% worth it – it’s the best replacement for the Beautycounter dew skin I’ve tried and I like this one even more!

(Took a pic after just using this tinted SPF. No filter, no other makeup.)

If you try one product, start with this one. It’s $56 (you get 15% off with my code FITNESSISTA15), and I love the tint, texture, light coverage, and also that it’s unscented.

I’ve only been using the products for over a year now, and have noticed a difference in my skin’s texture.

Right now, my routine looks like this:

Day:

Vitamin C serum 

OneSkin tinted moisturizer

OneSkin tinted sunscreen

Body: OneSkin body

Night:

Fresh cleanser (I have a sample of the OneSkin but still haven’t tried it)

OneSkin eye cream (it’s gentle on my eyes and unscented) or this eye cream– I like to switch it up

F59 serum aka no-tox in a bottle

Corrective face cream

Lip balm

Body: This body cream

Weekly: honey enzyme mask, and the Eminence tumeric mask

All in all, I think OneSkin is an incredible product and they offer science-backed products aimed at reducing the biological age of the skin. I think it’s definitely worth checking out, or trying some samples to see if it’s a fit for you! The travel kits are lower price point and this way you can try them out and see if you like them.

So, tell me, friends: what does your skincare routine look like right now? Do you rotate through different brands or have a couple of tried and true faves?
