NATURE’S BIG CELEBRATION

Nature is brimming with aliveness in August, one of those times of year when life just seems to overflow with possibilities. If you are anything like me, it’s so easy to get overbooked. Even the busyness of simply enjoying the summer can feel a little overwhelming with the silhouette of Fall just over the horizon. 

One of the ways I remind myself to delight in the season, and to really savor and celebrate the moment, is by keeping our three floral tonics close at hand. Not only do these three formulas—Essential C Tonic, Bulgarian Rose Water and Roman Chamomile Tonic—deliver truly glowing benefits to the skin, they also provide a very beautiful way to stop, center and connect with what’s most important. All that in a pause and a quick spritz!

My hope is that you’ll join me in riding the wave of this season’s big August rush and glory by taking these precious moments of awareness whenever you can, drinking in both the beauty of the natural world and the joy of life. 

{TRAVEL WITH HEART}
No matter where your summer takes you, giving a little spritz of Bulgarian Rose Water to your pillow at night brings the heart-centered, nurturing vibration of Rose into your aura. This formula is a wonderful rejuvenating and skin-awakening toner, but it is also a pure expression of one of nature’s most powerfully loving plant allies.

{CREATING CALM}
Roman Chamomile Tonic is blended with pure essence of Chamomile, which traditional herbalists have held sacred for centuries for its ability to create calm. We often note how well it soothes skin post sun-exposure, but this formula is also great at bringing peace and presence to the moment as needed. Offering an upset child—or adult!—some comforting care through a quick spritz can help shift emotional agitation.

{MORNING ELECTRIC}
We love this quick morning ritual to wake up the senses and to feel fresh all over. While showering, buff the skin with Epi-Body Polish, whisking away dullness and reviving with the aroma of Rosemary, Eucalyptus and Marjoram. Afterwards, use Essential C Tonic  as a body spritz, treating yourself to a blast of citrusy zing. Blended with Bergamot, Orange Peel and Grapefruit, you’ll wake up electrified.
