August REFLECTIONS
For some, this month signifies the end of summer - but for us on the California coast, it is just the beginning. It’s a funny feeling as though time is overlapping, People settling into fall and feeling the pull towards summer rest. For me it represents the duality of life and self care. We move, we rest, we move, we rest. The cycle of healing and growing, comfortable with who you are, Sun or fog.
Ancient Rituals At Home
Olive Oil Body Massage
In many cultures throughout history, Olive Oil has been used to moisturize and heal the skin. Greek athletes received massages using Olive Oil, as it would avert sports injuries, release muscle tension, and reduce the buildup of lactic acid. Extra virgin olive oil was used to increase temperature through friction, as it helped relax the muscles and increase blood circulation.

~ Test the oil on your wrist to make sure it’s not too hot for your skin.
~ Choose a tense area and start by applying a small amount of oil and massage in circular motions with varying pressure.

ACNE AWARENESS & CARING FOR YOUR SKIN WITH SCARS
"June was Acne Awareness Month ~ but for me, it's an everyday focus and I'm always learning how to heal my skin and my scars. I have spent most of my adolescence and adulthood struggling to maintain "healthy" skin. My obsession intensified as our brand began to grow and I felt like I was under a microscope - as the owner of a skincare brand, shouldn’t my skin be perfect? The reality is that for some of us "perfect" skin isn't in the cards. But we can establish healthy conditions by looking at our whole body to create change."
