Yes, you read that right. You are about to get your glow on.
No, you don’t have to be filthy rich to do it.
Since the beginning of time, gold has played an essential part in beauty regimens all over the world. Most notably, Cleopatra wore a mask of gold every night to keep her skin glowing and vibrant. Today, gold still has its place a daily care regimen, and luckily for us, at a much more affordable price.
According to the chakra system, pampering yourself in gold can do a lot more than just soften your skin or heal you from the inside out. It also makes you feel classy AF.
Using gold daily can help to open and balance your third chakra (or the Manipura Chakra), which is located at your solar plexus. The third chakra is the energy center responsible for self-esteem. A well-balanced third chakra can improve your digestion, increase your circulation, and heal nervous system issues. When focusing on improving the balance and flow of this chakra, it is widely recommended to surround yourself in the color yellow or gold, so spending time in the sun is incredibly powerful. In addition to the magic of sunshine, I have put together some reviews of my absolute favorite golden self-care products—none of which are jewelry and all of which are inexpensive.
Not sure where to start? Easy. Call it a “spa night in” with a luxurious golden sheet mask.
If you are looking for a gentle sheet mask, the Elixir gold mask is a must-have for any skincare routine. This product is not tested on animals, and I use it weekly. Gold has a way of brightening up my skin that really helps with my everyday self-confidence. (Working on that solar plexus chakra!) See the lowest price on Amazon.
Love to get your drink on? Try drinking your “gold” with Golden Milk Powder by Gaia Herbs and the Four Sigmatic Golden Latte.
Golden milk is an ancient ayurvedic tonic that is warm, soothing, and can easily supplement your morning coffee. Gaia Herbs’ Golden Milk is made from turmeric and ashwagandha. These herbs have the power to energize you like caffeine would, while being anti-inflammatory. Turmeric has been known to lower blood sugar levels, and ashwagandha, to lower cortisol (stress levels), making this an especially great supplement. Gaia’s mixture also contains a lovely hint of vanilla and some sweetness derived from dates. Since this blend is already powdered, I can add it to warm milk or even cold milk on the go. It is entirely vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, and DELICIOUS.
Four Sigmatic Golden Latte
Four Sigmatic is a fantastic company located in the heart of Venice, California. They have revamped boring old coffee by adding medicinal mushrooms to all of their various drinks and tonics. The Golden Latte by Four Sigmatic is similar to Gaia’s Golden Milk, but this golden latte mix has the added benefit of shiitake! For centuries, the shiitake mushroom has been used medicinally to promote weight loss, protect the heart, support skin health, and even fight breast cancer.

Try “getting spiritual” with Ormus. (You put it directly under your tongue!)
I only just found out about Ormus recently at the Los Angeles Conscious Life Expo, and it sure has some amazing-sounding benefits! This little dropper full of liquid gold is said to be “The Elixir of Life” and a new approach to anti-aging for spiritualists.
Ormus is typically extracted from the ocean. I have no idea how. But I do know that “professional alchemists” magically harvest it and turn it into a kind of ambrosia. Ormus claims to have anti-aging benefits like memory recall improvement and joint support and is said to elevate your mood. Referred to as “liquid yoga,” many people use Ormus to aid in their meditation practice as it helps them instantly get into a deeper meditative state.
