Happy Halloween and Happy Blue Moon!
In true Halloween-y fashion, I’m spending the day getting festive by carving my pumpkins and watching some scary movies in cozy pajamas, with my autumn essential oil blends. I can’t help but find Halloween to be a time of high energy and thoughtfulness. Perhaps it’s the rare blue moon!
Halloween’s looking a lil’ different this year, but that doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate in our own special way. If you’ve got nothing planned yet, why not arrange a self-care date with yourself!
Self-care is such an important thing to add to your regime. When you’re kind to yourself, your self will be kind to you! Self-care is a simple yet effective act of love towards yourself, it can be as little as lighting a candle or going for a walk when you’re feeling blue. It has the power to change your overall mood, feeling, and energy.
This Halloween, I’m going to take the time to relax, watch some movies and eat some good seasonal food.
In a world with constant uncertainty, it is a struggle to be present. In this pandemic, for instance, we are understandably focused on looking towards to the future and a world without Covid-19. But really, we are doing it wrong. By looking onto the next day, we’re forgetting to revel in the beauty of TODAY, and it for sure is pretty beautiful.
If I’m ever feeling or looking dull and tired, my go-to solution is to put a face mask on.
While there are many options that you can purchase from the supermarket, from hydrating, sheet, clay... the list is endless. That said, I usually go for the all-natural, all-easy-peasy DIY.
When making DIY masks, I try to just use ingredients I have in the house, such as oats, honey, and essential oils. Using natural ingredients helps me know exactly what’s going on my face and in my skin, a lot of the store-bought ones contain chemicals that sometimes do more harm than good. This way, it’s a little project of finding what I have in the cupboard. What’s more, essential oils give any mask that boost it needs.
Being self-aware is all about self-evaluation, self-reflection and finding our truths. As much as we speak of self-care, I do think it’s possible that we skip out on looking towards ourselves and being aware of why we are the way we are.
For me, I’ve always found self-awareness as looking at our own strengths and weaknesses and always assessing how we can improve ourselves. It’s simply, looking in the mirror, but not just at your appearance but also what’s inside.
Hi all! I just wanted to check in during these ever changing unprecedented times. Since Covid was announced as a pandemic in March, life took a whole new turn for us all. Now as we emerge into September and the season of fall, we’re blossoming in this ‘new normal’. As we put on our hat, coat and scarf now, we must always remember our protective face masks, and that’s not the only thing that’s changed in our routine.
