My Dear Cleaning Enthusiasts,
I'm feeling the winter chill, and maybe a bit of the winter blues too. The holiday season is over, and we're heading into the depths of the winter. While I love being outdoors - even during the winter, I miss the sun. I am challenging myself to take some time for self-care, amidst the hustle and bustle of resolutions and the winter blahs. I feel the need for self-nurturing and am trying to embrace each moment, as I know that time truly flies. At the same time as I want the greyness of winter to leave, I want to integrate some new behaviors into my wellness routine. Instead of hibernating, I'm committed to transforming my daily routine into a ritual that will uplift my spirits. Ready to join me?
Starting this evening, once my beloved offspring are down for the evening, I plan on creating a cozy environment in my basement by lighting some scented candles, playing some soothing music and steeping my favorite tea (peach!). Surrounded by some cozy blankets and fluffy pillows, I'm going to give myself 30 minutes to shut out the world around me, and read the book that I started back in September. While I wish I could promise myself more time than that, other obligations and responsibilities keep me watching the clock.
I find that the dry winter weather is harsh on my skin. Although moisturizers are great to quickly soothe the dryness, it's all about the other aspects of my routine that keep the irritation at bay. Throughout the day I'm washing my hands, washing dishes, doing laundry, etc. The organic nature of Whole Naturals Castile Soap ensures that my hands (and my skin) skin receive the care it deserves. Rich in moisturizing properties, Castile Soap not only cleanses but also nourishes, leaving your skin feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Its gentle formula, crafted from USDA certified ingredients like olive oil, provides a nourishing cleanse without the harsh chemicals found in commercial soaps.

Did you know that you can become dehydrated - even in the winter? Winter tends to be dehydrating, both for your skin and your body. Ensure you stay hydrated by incorporating warm herbal teas, and plenty of water into your daily routine. After nourishing your body from the inside, indulge in a hydrating shower with Whole Naturals Castile Soap to replenish your skin's moisture. Or, if you have the time - take a Castile Soap bubble bath!
Amidst the winter solace, I wanted to take a moment to commemorate Martin Luther King Jr., a prominent figure in the fight for civil rights. His legacy reminds us of the importance of equality, justice, community and understanding.
As you navigate the winter season and embrace the possibilities of a new year, prioritize self-care. The winter season often brings with it a sense of lethargy and a desire to hibernate. The shorter days and longer nights can impact our mood and energy levels. Instead of succumbing to the winter blues, consider transforming your self-care routine into a ritual that uplifts your spirits.
Cheers!
