Ep. 104: How meditation as a toddler set Face Fitness author Patricia San Pedro up for a mindful way of life

It's the first episode of 2022 so I wanted to start with a guest who's all about good vibes and mindfulness. I'm aware that January can be this month where we all feel like we *have* to do a detox or take on an entirely new regime, not to mention have a resolutions list that would impress on social media. So I wanted to just ease into the year with a guest who could provide thoughtful solutions on how to get started with affirmations. But that's not all Patricia San Pedro has to offer. Florida-based Patricia San Pedro is the Korean-American author of Face Fitness, a book that contains 50 simple exercises we can do to get toned and glowing skin, as well as the founder of Sunina Skin and she’s a mum of four. I first found Patricia on Instagram sharing facial exercises and since then I've regularly tried to commit to her easy to follow gua sha routines. I wanted to invite Patricia on to find out more about building a beauty brand during a pandemic and how she juggles a busy family life with business and content creation, so in this episode I ask her about challenging moments in her life, and what it was that instilled the concept of mindfulness into her daily life.  If you head over to @beautymepodcast on Instagram you’ll see Patricia demonstrating her two favourite facial exercises that we can all do at home. You can also follow Patricia @patriciasanpedro_ and check her brand @suninaskin out too. Please tag me when you’re listening and as always, do please review, like, subscribe, follow – all that good stuff! See you next time.
