Vanilla extract/vanilla essence as perfume
In a TikTok that has amassed more than 10 million views and 2.5 million likes since its original posting, user @challxn uses vanilla extract as perfume in the now-viral clip. The creator asks the audience to “trust her” as she pulls out a small bottle of extract, pours a few drops onto her palm, pats it in between her hands, and applies it as perfume.
The scent often evokes warmth and coziness and popular fragrances with the same notes can cost anywhere from $10-$100.

If you still don’t know what face tapping is, it’s time to start doing it.
This technique, which consists of gently tapping your face while saying affirmations, has many benefits, and although it sounds strange and looks weird, it helps calm stress and anxiety levels to improve your mood.

What is tapping?
Tapping is a technique that mixes Chinese acupuncture and some elements of modern psychology. It consists of giving small taps with your fingers in different strategic parts of the body while saying positive phrases about yourself. It is a quick tool to regulate our mood and calm our anxiety because it only takes a few minutes, and the results are almost immediate.
It is ideal to be able to do it ourselves, we only need our fingers, to know the specific points and the phrases and thoughts to say to release our emotions and feelings.

How to tap?
As mentioned tapping is relatively easy, you need 3 to 10 minutes to see results and feel calmer.
Advertisements
The first thing you need to do is recognize how stressed or anxious you feel at the time, on a scale of 1 to 10, where 1 is not stressed at all and 10 is super stressed.
Then you must give yourself small blows under the little finger, where your hand joins the wrist, that fleshy part, while you give yourself the blows you must say your affirmation three times … An example is: “Even though I am stressed, I love myself, I accept, and know that everything is going to be okay.”
Then, you must tap five to seven times, before moving on to the next place, and repeat another phrase, an example is “I let go of all the stress” or “I allow everything to flow”.
The points to touch are:
The head
The eyebrows
The side of the eye
Under the eyes
Under the nose
Chin
The collarbone
The chest
Under the armpits
Repeat this sequence of strategic points and blows, until you feel calmer and that number on the scale from 1 to 10, decreases.
Tapping is not the solution to all our problems. Although it is a tool of great help to reduce our stress day by day, and we can do it as many times as we want as long as it does not harm us, remember that it is always important to see a specialist.
Now that you know Tapping and how it can help you improve your mood, it’s time to put it to the test and see how you feel calmer and more relaxed, after tapping yourself and repeating your affirmations.
Erewhon has been going off with celebrity smoothie collabs, and we’re here for it. From Hailey Bieber to Becky G, the beloved Los Angeles supermarket has been cranking out fun new drinks; and if you follow Erewhon or its many devotees on TikTok, it’s hard not to want to try them all.
Model and entrepreneur Miranda Kerr is the latest to drop a smoothie with the market, and she’s doing so to promote a new product in her skin-care line, Kora Organics. The smoothie is launching in tandem with the new Plant Stem Cell Retinol Alternative Moisturizer ($66); smooths wrinkles and firms skin while providing a boost of antioxidants and moisture-locking actives. A portion of the smoothie proceeds will go to the Organic Farming Research Foundation, which supports education and empowers the use of sustainable organic harvesting practices. (We love to see those smoothie dollars going to a good cause!)
Unfortunately, for those of us who don’t live in Los Angeles, Erewhon smoothies aren’t exactly accessible. And for those who do live in LA, the $17-$19 price tag makes them less accessible than most smoothies. Luckily, we secured the recipe (and made a few tweaks), so you can easily make this smoothie on your own.

While Erewhon smoothies are typically chock-full of niche superfoods or supplements (such as spirulina, collagen, lucuma, and more), the base ingredients are often easy to find at your local grocery store. While you may not be able to find every ingredient, you can still re-create each smoothie’s delicious flavor, and maybe even find a new favorite smoothie recipe. We already know the frozen antioxidant-rich Sambazon Açaí Superfruit Packs ($8), this recipe is already going to be a new freezer staple.
While the full ingredient list for this smoothie is quite fancy, the recipe, when boiled down (frozen down?) to the basics, is quite simple. Simply blend açaí plus frozen banana and blueberries with a little almond milk, coconut water, maple syrup, and vanilla collagen, like Copina Co. Vanilla Beauty Plant-Based Collagen Support Creamer ($30) — and there you have it.
To get the gorgeous Erewhon effect (we couldn’t resist), swirl the bottom half of the glass with coconut yogurt and E3Live Blue Majik ($45) spirulina extract, and top with a scoop of coconut cream and more spirulina sprinkles. Sweet sipping!
Smoothie: 1 frozen banana 1/2 cup frozen blueberries 100 grams frozen açaí 1/4 cup coconut water 1/4 cup almond milk 1 tablespoon maple syrup 1 serving (about 1 tablespoon) vanilla collagen creamer 1/4 cup coconut cream (optional)
DIRECTIONS
If you’re going for the optional swirl, spread the coconut yogurt around the bottom half of the glass and sprinkle with spirulina extract.
To make the smoothie, combine all the ingredients, in the listed order, in a blender and blend until smooth. (Note: This recipe was slightly too large for my personal blender, so I had to use a full-sized one.)
Pour the smoothie over the coconut swirl.
Top with a scoop of coconut cream and more spirulina extract, if desired. Enjoy!
Not only is the smoothie delicious and chock-full of premium ingredients that will make your skin glow, but all net proceeds will go to the Organic Farming Research Foundation in support of educating and empowering sustainable organic harvesting practices. We’ll drink to that!
An organic retinol alternative, the moisturizer is gentle enough to be used day and night and is formulated with antioxidant-rich Acai Stem Cells, rosehip oil, a natural peptide and ceramide blend, and a 5% active retinol alternative blend of bakuchiol and alfalfa.
Miranda Kerr’s KORA Glow Smoothie is available at all Erewhon locations and costs $19. It features a ton of nourishing and healthy ingredients that are inspired by the brand’s age-defying range including pure coconut, organic almond milk, vanilla plant-based collagen boost, blueberries, pitaya powder, and more.

If you’re going for the full Erewhon Instagram effect, we recommend freezing the scoop of coconut cream beforehand, so it stays intact. We know it sounds extra, but it saves you from flat coconut cream, which is what we ended up with the first time we made this delicious healthy smoothie.
