Healthy Chicks

Wow, I can’t believe it’s already Friday! This week seriously flew by. It seems like just yesterday I was at the W.E.L.L. Summit (if you missed my recap you can catch it here), and it’s hard to believe it was already one week ago.

Speaking of the W.E.L.L. Summit, one of the best parts was connecting with so many like-minded, energetic individuals. One of those lovely ladies was the beautiful Mia Bell, a passionate entrepreneur who’s also a fabulous mommy to boot! I was so drawn to Mia’s infectious personality — she’s super approachable, honest and someone I could totally see being in my “tribe.”

I’ll let you meet Mia for yourself…you’re bound to love her!

WHAT YOU DO FOR WORK: I am the Founder & CEO of MIA BELL Natural Beauty Brokers. We help brilliant, natural and organic beauty brands grow their presence in the marketplace.

NUMBER ONE PASSION: Working together with honest and caring people to create a healthier, brighter and more loving world. I know it’s going to sound a little cliche! We all have something to contribute. Any action we take, no matter how small, can truly make a difference.

I FEEL MY HEALTHIEST SELF WHEN I AM: Getting outdoors and going on regular hikes. I love a good waterfall at the end of the trail.

BUT I AM ALSO A REAL GIRL & SOMETIMES: LIFE GETS CRAZY! I’m a wife, mother and business owner with a team and multiple clients. Some weeks it can be easy to skip scheduled exercise and self care for the sake of getting everything done.

TOP THREE KITCHEN STAPLES: Organic eggs, local honey and Kimchi.

NUMBER ONE GUILTY PLEASURE: Any gluten-free baked good with a warm glass of milk.

THREE FAB THINGS ABOUT YOU:
1) I can whip up an awesome Pico de Gallo salsa.
2) From late 2009 to early 2010 I curated an award winning, Spanish language eco beauty blog. The first of it’s kind!
3) At one point in time I could speak 4 languages.

EXERCISE THAT MAKES YOU SHINE: I am always itching to move. A good Zumba class definitely hits the spot!

FAVORITE COMFORT FOOD: Japanese Curry Rice

MESSAGE YOU’D LIKE TO SHARE WITH OTHER HEALTHY CHICKS: Wellness is a journey. Take it one day at a time. Do the best you can at that moment. And above all, make sure you are having a darn good time.
