Celebrate the Beauty of You!

Can you recall the last time you were celebrated? Do you remember how it made you feel? Did you feel the joy, confidence, energy, and beauty in that one moment?

I grew up in family where we loved to celebrate. I remember one summer day, my two sisters and I watched the Chinese Volleyball team win the World Cup. Immediately, my father rode his bicycle to the store to buy our favorite foods to celebrate their victory. Another time, I won the 100 meter race at school, that night my father cooked a special meal of sweet potatoes. My whole family sat together during dinner and celebrated my achievement. To this day, I can still remember how I felt.

People who know me say I am a happy person. I realize it is because I was celebrated from a very early age. That’s why today I celebrate my children, big or small and just because! My heart fills with joy to see their smiles when I celebrate them and I know this will have a profound impact on their lives.

Every morning and every night when you look in the mirror, take a moment to join all the Wei East women of the world to Celebrate the Beauty of You.

Congratulations – let the Celebration begin!

Love,
Wei

My Travel Journal

My trip to Europe was great! I have always been interested in the French Provence fields of lavender, in the same way I am fascinated by Chinese herbal fields. My whole family and I visited the Provence market where we smelled the herbs, tasted the olives, and watched the locals carry their baguettes in their baskets to go home as children played in the dirt playground. The whole experience brought back my childhood memories. I started telling my daughter about all the things I used to do as a child: riding my bike to get food from the market, flying a kite in the park, and going on an adventure in the mountains. Our life today is certainly lived at a different pace than it was back then. We may not be able to change how things are today, but we can certainly choose to live a healthy way of life through everything we choose to eat and use.

Summer Skin Care Tips

  • As Summer temperatures increase, so do humidity levels, which means our skin needs less moisture than it does in the winter. In order to keep our skin light, fresh and blemish-free, switch to a lighter moisturizer to keep pores clear.
  • As we spend more time in the sun and sand, it’s best to exfoliate our face (and body) regularly to get a fresh, natural glow and prolong our summer tan.
  • To maintain that summer glow both inside and out, be sure to eat plenty of “cooling” foods like fruits (especially berries), vegetables, whole grains, seeds and nuts, and a small amount of lean meat, poultry or fish.
  • The best summer diet consists of fresh fruits in the morning and plenty of leafy, green vegetables later in the day.

Your Wei Summer Choose 4 for $39.96 cannot be combined with any other offers. Coupons may not be used when purchasing Your Wei Summer collections.

Ready… Set… Summer!

For many of us, we are just at the start of our summer life. Whether we head to the shore or start a backyard barbeque, it is the time for fun and relaxing. As our burgers sizzle on the barbeque or we lay in the sand, we start to enjoy the fun summer that’s just around the corner. However, don’t forget to take care of your skin. Always wear sun protection! After all, the sun is the main source and our biggest enemy when it comes to premature aging. So slap on some sunscreen and have some fun! Check back next week as I share some of my favorite Summer beauty tips :)

Spring Into Summer

With Memorial Day weekend right around the corner, I’m all about getting my skin prepped and ready for the summer. If you’ve ever wondered what is the best way to prepare your skin for summer months, try some of these tips:

• For skin, keeping your face clean is very important. Open your pores using good cleansing and exfoliating products or try a hot steam bath to help release any impurities and encourage the flow of good chi.

• This time of year it is important to shed your “Winter” skin. Just like a snake must shed its outer shell, it is very important that we too, shed the dry, rough, flaky skin of Winter. Exfoliating regularly helps to re-energize and rejuvenate the skin to reveal younger, healthier skin.

• With this new outward flow of energy and the process of Spring cleansing, both physically and mentally our bodies begin to “lighten”. It is important to set heavy-duty skin creams to the side, and find more lightweight products for the Summer.

• To stimulate the chi energy in your face, instead of rubbing your skin, try gently patting the skin on your face regularly.

• In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) diet and food intake is based on the principle that humans are a part of nature. One way to align with nature is eating according to seasons, because just like the natural world fluctuates with seasonal changes, so do we. This is the time of year for growth and renewal. As it relates to diet, TCM suggests we should consume foods that help for easy transition into this season such as:

– Leafy green vegetables (spinach, kale, mustard greens, bok choi)
– Young plants (soy, chives, asparagus, peas)
– Sprouted beans and grains (mung bean sprouts, wheat grass)
– Flavorful herbs (mint, bitter melon)
– Light teas (mint, green, chrysanthemum, rosebud)

Remember, the greatest wealth is health!

Gracious Giving

I recently watched a movie called “The Road.” It’s a story of a long distance bus service operating in a remote mountain region of China. As the scenery and the actors passed before my eyes, my mind took me back to my childhood. The unspoiled green fields, the clear water streams running through the rocks, the ancient stone bridges. Each scene showed the simplicity of life. The people traveling on the bus didn’t have much, but it was clear they had spirit. A spirit that shone every time they talked with each other, when they greeted new travelers, when they helped each other and graciously shared what little food they had. They were living lives pure in happiness.

As they traveled along one section of the remote road, they found an injured man. The bus stopped and the travelers continued their acts of gracious giving, jumping out of the bus to help the hurt man. This instant community of friends tended to the man’s wounds and worked to nurse him back to health. Watching the movie just now reinforced what I love so much about Wei East. While we all appreciate outer beauty, we really celebrate our inner beauty much more. The soul of Wei East is rooted in community, in the natural simplicity of life and in pure happiness. We give graciously to ourselves and to each other without expectations.

To be able to give graciously, please make sure you give to yourself first. Invest in your happiness and do the things that you want to do, not things that you think you must do. When you’re happy, you’ll be able to give all things graciously, whether your gift is a smile or something even bigger.
