Summer tends to be the time when we all feel our youngest, no matter our physical age. The month of May invites a sense of adventure, boldness, and curiosity back into our minds where it flourishes. Perhaps these emotions are inspired by warmer weather, blue skies, and the return of blossoms + greenery. We draw youthfulness from the nostalgic memories of rolling in the grass, climbing high in trees, and getting into mischief of unbound childhood freedom. Even as we age physically, we may still find that the natural world encourages us to be young at heart - when we allow it. 

How may we embrace this pull back into adventure and passion?

Maybe you feel most youthful when your skin is hydrated and smooth, as fresh as a post-sea swim. Perhaps it’s the minor scrapes and bruises you wear as a badge of honor from a difficult hike or excursion, similar to those of romping and roaming as a youngster, and the soothing feeling of a salve applied by a doting parent. Using what nature has to offer is the best way to get back into those blissful feelings of youth and the fresh perspective they bring.

Step 1: Just like when you were a child, it should only takes a few of the right products for your skin to look + feel youthful. 

Simplicity is the key.

Despite the barrage of videos and blogs out there pushing a 6-10 product regimen, this can actually end up doing more harm than good, especially if they’re full of toxic fillers and chemicals. Investing in just a few squeaky-clean superlative, genuinely beneficial products eliminates the need for a cabinet full of ineffectual products.

Natural and organic products have been on the uptrend for a reason. People have realized that getting back to basics - healthy, nutrient-dense ingredients - provides better outcomes for you AND the environment. Our Ageless Skin Serum is the perfect example of how one product with unparalleled ingredients can supply your skin with essential nutrients necessary for producing glowing, nourished skin without a 10 step process. Ease your conscience knowing your skin looks amazing while saving your wallet, time + the planet. Apply it after cleansing to achieve the perfect, radiant glow. You will not only feel a noticeable difference in your skin, but in your confidence, be it on a hike or dining at your favorite Gastro Pub.

Step 2: Take on any element.

Is any great adventure truly possible without a few, scrapes, bruises, or even a sunburn along the way? Half of the fun is the story behind these memorable momentos. As a child, they were new trophies of our triumphs. As adults, we acknowledge that we have acquired enough of these “trophies” at this point, so, soothing them is our first priority. For quick relief of severely dry skin, bug bites, bruise, scrape, or rash, the Healing Salve is deemed a “miracle salve” by our clientele for a reason. In mere hours, you can see a noticeable difference in appearance and relief in the affected area. 

The Sacred Tonic is similar in its soothing ways. Prepare your skin for extra long days on the trail or use the tonic to recuperate your skin from a fun day in the pool. Additionally, you can also use this tonic to naturally set your makeup. The Sacred Tonic works to draw in hydration to help quench thirsty skin. The heavenly, botanical scent also aids in renewal of spirit.

Step 3 : Top it off with youthful, hydrated lips.

No summer handbag or backpack is complete without a lip balm. Remember your childhood flavored chapsticks that you could not get enough of?

The heavenly aroma and satisfying texture will soothe your sun exposed-chapped, wind-whipped lips after long summer days of heat and laughter.

Nature brings us back to who we are and away from our screens, social media, work schedules, and life drama. It reminds us of our curiosity and courageousness, our need for adventure and fun. The emotions stirred by warmer weather encourage us to open our minds to explore unknown paths that we encounter in life. We heal both physically and mentally, giving our minds and bodies a respite from the cacophony of society.

Explore the outdoors this summer knowing you have all of the earth's essentials meant to aid in your healing and happiness with you at all times. 

With Purpose, Love + Gratitude
