Relax, Rejuvenate, Rest and Reset This Winter 🤍

The Winter Vibe is a intentional shift inward; Here, you gather your chosen rituals to form a personal environment for the season. As for myself, I'm a homebody so this is a perfect excuse to indulge more into my wellness journey, practicing all of the self-care options for my well-being.

It is the essence of quiet comfort satin & soul, by aligning these elements you create a protected space that doesn't just shield you from the cold, it centers your energy, keeping you grounded and balanced while your internal battery remains full and steady. 

Dedicate an evening to opening your pores with a relaxing facial steam, I have recently added a cute pink facial steamer to my own routine and I love it! that direct , gentle heat is exactly what my skin needs, and it was very inexpensive. Just a tip: make sure it's on a flat surface and that you keep it at least 7 to 8 inches away from you.

It prepares your face for a hydrating mask to nourish and soothe skin exposed to cold air. I absolutely love using our reboot and reset gel facial mask, a little goes a long way, followed by our facial cleanser, cucumber toner and daily balance moisturizer,or any product of your choice. 

Skip the standard lotion and substitute it with a warm, luxurious oil immediately after your bath or shower. Our bath oil is ideal for this ritual; applying it to damp skin to deeply lock in moisture, comfort dryness, and calm the nervous system with gentle self-massage without leaving your skin feeling greasy. You're just left feeling supple and refined with glowing skin ready for a tranquil evening.

Revitalize winter-weary hands with a good hand cleanse, try our exfoliating sugar scrub made with a mild castile soap, vitamin e and avocado oil to gently exfoliate dry skin and smooth cuticles.

Finish the treatment by massaging a rich balm or a favorite product of your choice into your hands before slipping into a pair of spa gloves overnight. You'll wake up to skin that feels nourished and velvety soft.

After a long day of navigating winter elements, nothing beats grounding yourself with a warm foot soak, although I prefer my water slightly on the hotter side. A therapeutic foot soak infused with soothing salts and essential oils is a bliss all by itself. Finish with a simple reflexology massage to boost circulation and promote full-body relaxation. 

For the ultimate softness, gently exfoliate your legs and feet with my artisan sugar scrub, and follow up with a generous layer of the signature Quench Kiss Body Polish to seal in the moisture.

Creating a moment of pure calm, starts with the water. I've transitioned from traditional bubbles to a more therapeutic approach, starting with a base of Epsom salts or unfragranced  magnesium bath flakes, just one my new favorite items to ease muscle tension. For a true skin softening and purifying experience,I add my handcrafted Opulent Milk bath,a detoxing blend I created to nourish the body from the outside in, 

If you're more of a shower person, you can still create this oasis. Let the steam build and use the artisan sugar scrub to invigorate the senses, or any product of your choice. To deepen the relaxation, I add a few drops of my bath and massage oil directly into the water along with some lavender essential oil. With a lavender candle flickering, I set the mood with my favorite sounds; sometimes it's chill instrumental music, and other times it's the soothing rhythm of gentle rain and distant thunder. This is more than a bath; it's a total rest where the world outside simply melts away.

The brightness of winter is a gorgeous site to see, and has always seemed to me to be a season of calm and quiet, slow mornings and still nights. It's a time when we instinctively slow down, embracing the necessary rest the earth demands. I find deep  comfort in the sensory details of the season, the chill and clean scent of the air, the satisfying crackle of a fire that encourages quiet reflections.

Winter gives us permission to retreat,cozy up with a good book, and enjoy the simple act of being warm indoors while the world outside is frozen, offering a unique opportunity for profound restoration and inner peace.

Winter is the perfect excuse to enjoy the ritual of the steaming mug, for me it's a deep satisfying pleasure in cupping your hands around a hot beverage and feeling it warm you up instantly, it's more than just a drink; it's a moment of pause whether it's the rich familiar comfort of spiced cider, a decadent cup of hot chocolate, or the simple clarity a fragrant herbal tea. Hot cocoa and tea are two of my favorites listen, give me a cup of Yogi lavender and honey stress reliever, ginger and tumeric or Celestial tention tamer teas, and I am set!  

I have to make my hot chocolate with milk, it's just nothing like it. I spend quite time in my office, I love sitting on the chaise lounge section of my couch.

And for those seeking a different kind of inner warmth, an adult beverage enjoyed slowly by the fireplace or your go to favorite space can provide a moment of thoughtful reflection. This quiet you time, is an essential anchors that keep us grounded and cozy during the cold season.

What truly defines this time of year for me is not the traditional meaning of the holiday or the exchange of gifts, but rather the pure, wonderful joy found in the festive decorations, and the cheery melody of Christmas carlos. I have lots of favorite holiday songs, but silent night by the Temptations and silver bells by A Few Good Men are my top two.

There is a simple magic in the process of transforming my space, the visual beauty, the quiet glow of the lights, the ornaments and garlands. Although I do love to wrap presents, for me the authentic delight of the Christmas season isn't found in the gifts, but the deeper significance, I have always found joy in the simple things.

Winter calls for a dedicated shift in how we care for ourselves. While I absolutely love sending high energy into the atmosphere,this season is a beautiful time to embrace gentle, restorative movement indoors, whether it's a quiet stretching session or simply dancing to my favorite songs in the living room, which I do very often.

The kitchen becomes a central source of comfort,where I find deep clarity in preparing hearty nurishing meals like a slow cooked soup or a mouth watering casserole, truly savoring every bite. But perhaps the greatest joy of this season is giving myself permission to prioritize sleep. Winter's stillness encourages us to listen to our body's call for deep, restorative rest, allowing us to truly recharge. And I definitely take advantage of it.

Winter is my favorite time to truly maximize "The Cozy Factor" at home. There is a internal quiet contentment that settles in when I put on a oversized sweater, or a comfy cute pair of pj's and fuzzy socks or tall booties, and curl up in a thick fluffy blanket.

The warmth encourages me to dive into indoor hobbies; few things are better than dedicating time to a good book or ebook, getting lost in playing soothing games on my phone or the peaceful process of coloring a detailed page. Even while staying snug inside,

 I love to observe the stunning winter view just beyond my window, specifically I adore watching the fresh snow clinging heavily to branches, especially the way it outlines the dark green pine trees, offering a gorgeous tranquil backdrop to my indoor activities.

Beyond the beautiful scenery and the sensory comforts, what I truly love about the winter is the sense of purpose and the chance to renew it provides. When the world outside slows down, the pressure to constantly be 'on' fades away, offering a beautiful opportunity for personal growth.

I view this season as a critical time for inner strength: a period to pause, reflect, set intentions, and invest deeply in my in my own well-being. It is the perfect chance to recharge, plan more future goals, and ensure my mind and body are nurtured and prepared for the busy seasons ahead. This is why I dedicate my down time to focusing on my total Winter Wellness."
