Poosh Wellness Festival 2020

Poosh’s 1st Wellness Festival took place yesterday! This self-care retreat was an experience with 12 virtual sessions on topics such as DIY flower arrangement and skin care, detoxing your shower routine, and more. The virtual festival kicked off with a matcha opening ceremony and a quick interview between Kourtney Kardashian and her best friend Sarah. Kourtney elaborated on the reason she started Poosh:





“When I started Poosh, I really loved the most—the idea of sharing a lifestyle and of sharing information with people in a non judgmental, just really accessible way.”
Kourtney also said that she would receive questions about the foods she was eating or about her lifestyle and from there, the idea for Poosh developed. As for this wellness festival, she mentioned that she wanted to dedicate a day to bringing a live wellness experience to people.
Standout Sessions
I thought all of the sessions were informative. It was a nice peek into the natural health and wellness lifestyle for those who are newbies to it. There were a few standouts that I enjoyed most at POOSH Wellness Festival! They were:
1.) Glutes Workout and Post Workout Smoothie with Courtney King (Courtney had such amazing energy and put together a glutes workout that is sure to get results)! It was leg day on steroids! I put my own spin on the smoothie which I’ll share in another post : )

2.) Lymphatic Drainage Facial with Camila Perez with Adrienne as a lively subject (Camilla spilled her prized secrets to giving a spectacular lymphatic drainage facial. This is a wellness activity that can be useful for folks who take self-care seriously, especially considering the lack of access to wellness retreats and centers at the moment).

3.) DIY Body scrub with Nyakio Kamoche Grieko (The one key ingredient in Nyakio’s scrub was coffee but not just any ole coffee…East African Kenyan coffee which is said to have notes of citrus in the flavor.) Though I’m not a fan of caffeine, I will acknowledge that it has benefits for the skin. It was nice hearing Nyakio’s story about her grandparents who passed on body care recipes to her.

4.) Guided Meditation with Ryan Haddon (Ryan offered self affirmations that were empowering and soul-elevating).

5.) How to Take the Perfect Selfie with Malika Haqq and Roxy Rodriguez (For some, taking the perfect selfie can be a mood lifter (haha)! There was a phone featured in this session that wowed the techie in me. The phone was foldable and seems perfectly designed for taking selfies. Turns out, it is called, the Samsung Galaxy Z flip. That’s a really cool phone!

After the festival, participants were given a virtual gift bag with promos for products from sponsoring brands. My only gripe about the festival is that I thought the event was going to be live streamed. Sessions were pre-recorded. I can see this being a really amazing retreat-style in-person event once life normalizes again.
Well—that’s a wrap Ms. Kourtney and a good wrap at that--so klaps to you for following your primary purpose of pooshing people into health and wellness.
Would you like to experience Poosh’s Wellness Festival for yourself? The sessions will be up for viewing until Oct 31st! Purchase your all access ticket here: Get tickets

The FDA has moved to finally ban Red Dye No. 3 from use in food and drugs in America.  Red Dye No. 3 was first determined to be a cancer causing color additive almost 30 years ago.  Studies conducted using labs rats found that they became inflicted with the disease after consuming large amounts of Red dye No. 3.  Thirty years ago, the FDA officially banned Red Dye No. 3 from use in cosmetics but left the door open for it to be used as a color additive in food and prescription drugs.  By January 2027, the FDA has ordered that Red Dye No 3 must be removed from all food in the USA and by 2028--from all drugs.

5 Natural Ingredients For Longevity

The path of aging can be viewed as a bothersome, inevitable part of life to some.  Those invested in the journey  often look to various methods of biohacking as a way to lengthen what can be considered a short life  span.  The average life  expectancy for women is 80 years old and 74 years old for men.  Living to 100  years old may seem inconceivable but the reality is that there are individuals living past 100 years old.   According to the Pew Research Center, our global world is home to 722,000 centenarians most of whom  live in Asian countries such as Japan and China (Schaeffer, 2024).   The number of centenarians currently living is expected to quadruple  over the next 30 years. Will people begin to live past 200 and 300 years old in the near future? As scientific  discoveries continue to be made and longevity focused breakthroughs are attained, humans will live longer and more intelligently.   What are ...
