“It takes time and energy and money to do all of these wellness things, and we only have a certain amount of hours during the day. So know your why, do your research behind the practice, and try one thing at a time. If it resonates with you, then great, continue it. If not, then don't keep doing it—don't waste money on it,” says natural wellness & beauty expert Mona Vand, PhD. In this episode of Clean Beauty School, mindbodygreen beauty director and host Alexandra Engler chats with Vand about her four pillars of health, how to prioritize your time, and setting boundaries.
