LOGAN Life feels confusing to me and a little overwhelming because 2020 has thrown us all a huge curve ball!

If I've learned nothing else from my coaching practice, interviews of badass and beautiful women, and my own life experience this year, it's the affirmation that the only consistent thing in life is change. So you better make damn sure you have solid footing, a deep relationship to Self, and a consistent practice of gratitude. That's why I started this SoulStyle magazine!

I'm finding that my best coping mechanisms to manage the changes we are living in right now comes from taking small, simple steps (you'll see throughout the magazine).

I've found that turning inward, tuning into what's most important in my life, and practicing daily gratitude has been the best strategy to keep my mind right, my heart open and my business thriving! These are challenging times indeed but you were given this life because you are strong enough to live it.

THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO

DRY BRUSHING DETOXIFY. CIRCULATE. BEAUTIFY

Did You Know?

The skin is the largest most important elimination organ in the body and is responsible for one quarter of the body’s detoxification each day?

The skin eliminates over one pound of waste acids each day in the average adult, most of it through the sweat glands?

The skin is known also as our third kidney?

The skin receives one third of all the blood circulated in the body?

The skin is the last to receive nutrients in the body, yet the first to show signs of imbalance or deficiency.

Detoxification is performed by a number of organs, glands, and transportation systems, including the skin, gut, kidneys, liver, lungs, lymphatic system, and mucous membranes.

Dry brushing is a way to stimulate all the above organs of detoxification because it provides a gentle internal massage.

Small, Simple Steps Always dry brush before you shower or bathe because you will want to wash off the impurities from the skin as a result from dry brushing.

You can do the brushing head-‐ to-‐toe or toe-‐to-‐head. It really doesn’t matter as long as the entire body is brushed.

Long sweeping strokes starting from the bottom of your feet upwards for your hips, and from the hands towards the shoulders, and on the torso in an upward direction to help drain the lymph back to your heart. Note: Stroking away from your heart puts extra pressure on the valves within the veins and lymph vessels and can cause ruptured vessels and varicose veins.

Use light pressure in areas where the skin is thin and harder pressure on places like the soles of the feet. Dry brushing should be performed once a day on dry skin, preferably first thing in the morning. If you are feeling ill, increasing the treatments to twice a day is good. You can also dry brush areas of cellulite five to 10 minutes twice a day to achieve cellulite dissolving but the technique needs to be done consistently for a minimum of five months. Avoid sensitive areas and anywhere the skin is broken.

Finish up with your regular shower. End with three hot and cold cycles (30 seconds each).

A "new in my life" favorite tradition has become

CELEBRATING THE SACRED

Tradition Di a de Los Muertos

the Day of the Dead or Dia de los Muertos, which takes place on November 1 and 2—All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day on the Catholic calendar— around the time of the fall maize harvest in Mexican cultures.

Day of the Dead originated several thousand years ago with the Aztec, Toltec, and other Nahua people, who considered mourning the dead disrespectful. For these pre-Hispanic cultures, death was a natural phase in life’s long continuum. The dead were still members of the community, kept alive in memory and spirit—and during Día de los Muertos, they temporarily returned to Earth. Today’s Día de los Muertos celebration is a mash-up of pre-Hispanic

Remember me Small, Simple Step 1. Watch the Disney movie, COCO 2. Celebrate Dia de Los Muertos The centerpiece of the celebration is an altar, or ofrenda, (as seen in the previous page) built in private homes and cemeteries. These aren’t altars for worshipping; rather, they’re meant to welcome spirits back to the realm of the living. As such, they’re loaded with offerings—water to quench thirst after the long journey, food, family photos, and a candle for each dead relative. If one of the spirits is a child, you might find small toys on the altar. Marigolds are the main flowers used to decorate the altar. Scattered from altar to gravesite, marigold petals guide wandering souls back to their place of rest. The smoke from copal incense, made from tree resin, transmits praise and prayers and purifies the area around the altar.

This tradition is now one I have adapted in my own life as a way of honoring those who have past, which this year included my beautiful Stepdad, Ron. ”The space that was his has not diminished, but the Light that he left burning quiets my dark.“

GRATITUDE WHERE YOUR REFELCTIONS BEGINS

IN LIGHT OF 2020 EVEN IN YOUR DARKNESS, YOU SHOWED ME LIGHT

It’s been a hell of a year for everyone I know. Between job loss and home schooling, getting infected with Covid, fearing the day you will, or knowing someone who died from it, businesses shutting down, vacations cancelled, the fires, the hurricanes, and now the election,...

2020 has been labeled as “the worst year of our time” with good reason!

WHAT I HAVE LEARNED WRITTEN BY LIZ LOGAN

Although hard to sometimes see, there is always a silver lining if we look close enough. Trust me, there are days I’d much rather complain about all the “shit” that has gone down this year, but in the spirit of Gratitude, I took a step back and did a deep look into what may now hold some of my most magical moments and lessons EVER! When Covid first shut everything down, my step-son lost his apartment and job in LA, my husband who’s an orthopedic surgeon, got shut down by the state for all non-essential surgeries, so we made a rapid-fire decision and headed to our place in Punta Mita, Mexico for three

Gratitude helps you fall in love with the life you already have.

By April, we were back in Colorado all living together indefinitely. Although our independence was preferred, I came to love living together and sharing this time with my step-son. If I had room, I would have invited all our extended family to live with us too. It validated that what matters most is we surround ourselves with people we love.

One of the best gifts that came from 2020 was my experience of my Stepfather dying, which might sound crazy.

He was 86 and in my life since the age of 3. I got to spend the final week of his life with him and my dad (together for 43 years). I witnessed his graceful exit in the comfort of his home, surrounded by pictures of his family, candles, flowers and classical music playing in the background. It was one of the most rich and wonderful experiences I will keep close to my heart! I learned once

again to not fear death. It's part of our remarkable journey of living woke!

Then came the adoption of our two rescue dogs to add a whole lot of joy into this otherwise somber year. Sure some sleep was lost, along with a sock or two, but Paulo & Luna came at the perfect time! Summer hikes became alive with their puppy spirit.

There have been so many moments in 2020 that have made me really question what I really want for my life, some more fun to look at than others. The gift in it all is 2020 reminded me how fleeting life really is and how constant change continues to be so you better wake up each day with a grateful heart, learn how to control your stressors and be the best human you can be. Thank you 2020 for all the struggles, without them I wouldn't have realized my strength!
