About Me

Welcome to Healthy Beauty Secrets with Duong!

There is one thing that I want you to know about me; I do not like the word diet. This is not another “diet” blog. If you remove the “t” from diet, you get die. Maybe there is a message there. Some people are literally killing themselves trying one fad diet after another and never achieving results.

I was browsing through a health magazine recently and came across an article from an author and friend, Mike Yorkey, and loved what he said about fad diets, “These fad diets should come with the following health advisory: Don’t do this at home.” I absolutely concur! Did you know that diet really means a “way of living?”

Having changed my “way of living” several years ago and seeing my family healthier, experience less colds, and free from other serious health issues over the years, it has become my passion to help people live healthier and happier from the inside out. My focus is not only on the physical health, but also the spiritual and emotional health, which is where it often begins.

I am not extreme about defining or translating long lists of ingredients on the label of my skin care products; however, there are a few that I do watch for that have made my warning list. If the majority of the ingredients are long and each one has more than 25 letters that I cannot pronounce, it just can’t be that healthy! I enjoy a sweet treat occasionally and won't let a yummy piece of chocolate or brownies pass me by (Let's be real!).

I believe in the 90/10 percent rule. Eat or use healthy products 90% of the time so that there is room for treats and for times when you are not able to use or purchase natural and organic products. Otherwise, we would all have to live on a farm, raise our own free-range animals, grow our own fruits and vegetables like our ancestors, and we might as well live in a bubble.

I do recommend organic and all natural health products whenever possible. Nevertheless, do the best you can with what you can and with the resources that are available to you. You have heard the saying, "an inch of prevention is a mile of cure." My passion is empowering people to live healthier and happier from the inside out in a real, practical way!
