One moment of inspiration can turn your day around. And one moment of inspiration every day of the year can transform your mindset, your routine, and, I deeply believe, the way you look and feel.

The pages of daily inspiration in this book help you create a solid foundation upon which to live your healthy, beautiful, precious life. Some of the entries build upon familiar ideas; they serve as reminders of time-tested ways to nourish health and happiness. Others may be new, and even a bit odd at first; these aim to push your limits and expand your repertoire of habits that support you, every day. Youre likely to find some ideas to be surprising, some challenging, and still others effortlessa perfect fit for you. Collectively and over time, reading and acting on these inspirations can restore harmony to your body, heighten the pleasure you get from your relationship with food, raise your consciousness about the transformative power of self-love, shift your thinking, and inspire you to build a lifestyle of beauty thats unique to you and your needs. With every page, and everything you do, youll be working to transform your beauty, inside and out.

My first book, Eat Pretty, introduced the direct ties between food, self-care, and beauty. In this book, Eat Pretty Every Day, my goal was to put those powerful connections and the ideas behind them into practice, helping you, the reader, create your own lifestyle of beauty. Season by season and day by day, I want you to feel prepared and motivated to apply beauty nutrition, self-care, and healthy vanity to your routine, with action-oriented goals, recipes, DIY tips, science-backed beauty facts, words of guidance, and essential beauty foods to add to your dietall of which will help you build a rich and pleasure-packed life that supports you in looking and feeling gorgeous. These pages hold ideas for well-being that Ive incorporated into my own lifestyle, foods I stock in my kitchen, and habits I follow consistently to stay on track.

I continue to hear from women around the world that the concepts of beauty nutritionthat is, the foods and nutrients that directly support and enhance our beauty by defending, repairing, and strengthening itand healthy vanity, or our innate desire to look and feel beautiful, are so relevant in their lives. Those principles certainly resonate in my own life. As a beauty writer at a major fashion magazine, giving beauty advice was my job, but my skin issues and relationship with food left me far from looking and feeling my best, even with access to a staggering array of top beauty products, services, and experts. After looking everywhere but inside my own body for answers, I finally found that healing the beauty issues that had plagued me for almost a decade and restoring my belief in my own beauty started, simply enough, with my daily mealshow I approached them as well as what I ate. Employing tools that are neither exclusive nor expensive, I watched my skin transform from painfully blemished, irritated, and inflamed to calm, clear, and healthy. At the same time, I ended my battle with the scale, experienced a surge in energy and positivity that I had struggled for, and felt more true to myself and my body than I had in years. Over time, Ive seen and heard firsthand that so many other women have experienced transformations just like mine when they make nutrition a central part of their beauty routines.

More and more, we are learning just how dramatically our mindset creates our reality. When it comes to beauty, the link between mind and matter is incredibly powerful. Yes, you are what you eatbut you are also what you believe you are. In light of this, in this book youll find a deepened focus on self-love and mindfulness and the connection of those factors to beauty. A core belief of the Eat Pretty philosophy is that food isnt your enemyon the contrary, it can be your greatest tool for beauty. And, like bringing knowledge and intention to your food choices, practicing mindfulness can be a source of great strength, positivity, and beauty in your life. Presenting a year of beauty mapped out before you, day by day, this book is a course in self-discovery that will help you look and feel your most beautiful. This year, do one thing every day that makes you glow.

In beauty and health,
Jolene
