Hey lovelies, I'd love to get your input for this month's ritual/practice. I've been wanting to make things lighter + more playful, and based on this thread, skin care would be something fun and different for us to explore. I also went down a little Ayurveda rabbit hole and learned that the term "sneha" holds two meanings: oil and love/affection (which explains the use of oil for so many self-care practices in Ayurveda). Anyway, I'm curious which topics or practices you all would like us to explore. Not just this month but looking ahead too. Feel free to suggest other things in the comments!

Happy Wednesday and new month! I refreshed the recipes collection and everything is now in PDF format, which means you can export and use at your convenience! I also put the recipes into main categories so there's less clicking around. Start here 👉 #Lunch and Dinner ! And as a reminder the Restorative Sleep lessons were all uploaded last month, so you can work your way through it at your own pace: #😴 Introduction ❤️

What are you feeding it? -------------------- Something I would love for us to get into in this group is skincare. Not the 39-step layering routine. But what skin care represents for you. Because for me, I see it as an important and integral part of caring for ourselves. And I want to share the picture below with you all because these two products represent "food for the skin." We often talk about eating for the skin in terms of the literal food we eat. But there's a whole other category that I think is equally valuable: face oils. Depending on which one you use, your skin is getting nutrients like: - beta carotene - vitamin E - omega fatty acids (3, 6, 9 and the lesser known, 7) Personally, I love oils because they contain nutrients and they are multi-taskers for someone like me who believes in taking exquisite care of this massive organ (but who doesn't believe it should require hours or tons of products). And the extra perk is I'm reducing the chemicals I'm exposed to every day (important for that skin microbiome that protects us in so many ways). 👉 How do you approach skin care: do you see it as separate from other forms of care? Do you have any guiding principles for skin care? P.S. the small bottle on the left is sea buckthorn seed oil.

I hope you're having a lovely weekend and if you're doing the Sleep Kickstart, this is a quick reminder that today and tomorrow are freestyle days. So revisit any of the movement videos from the past 5 days and notice how it feels the second time around. Also, the full sleep course is here whenever you want to dive in: #😴 Introduction Thank you for participating this week and stay tuned for a fun new ritual coming in July! 😘

Today is our last "formal" day of the kickstart (tomorrow and Sunday, you get to freestyle and revisit any of the movement videos that you liked from previous lessons). Before we slide into the weekend, I'd love to know: If I ran this sleep kickstart again, what would make it even better for you? - 🍵 A daily moment of calm - 🏃‍♀️ Moving my body gently - 📵 Less screen time at night - 🌿 Trusting simple over complicated
