Every bite is an opportunity to boost your outer glow, deeply and over time.
—Jolene Hart

Today, Sunday, June 10 is the summer edition of Tranquility du Jour Live at 8pm ET. I’ll be sharing eight tranquility tips for summer (including a summer reading list) and all the scoop on our upcoming detox.

Since we’re exploring wellness in Year of Tranquility this month, I decided adding an optional 7-day detox June 13-June 20 would be a fun complement and I’m inviting YOU to join us in the adventure.
