I mentioned this sugar scrub a few weeks back and wanted to share it with you. It’s beyond easy and makes an amazing difference with your skin, especially as the seasons change. It’s so moisturizing. I suggest using it on your legs and arms to start and see how your skin reacts. If you have any rashes or breakouts obviously discontinue use. Make sure to pat your skin dry after the shower and you will certainly see a glow! Enjoy! xo, MAV

Hi there.

Sorry for the here and gone nature of our posts lately. I think we’re still figuring out how to be in this space now—after so many of our rhythms and routines have been stripped away. We’re going to keep showing up though.

It is about this time in winter, mid-winter, that I get very restless. Generally I start to feel dizzy with the energy. What’s next? What’s next? What’s next?, my mind annoys. Since moving toward the woods, nearly two months ago now, I have felt the gentle bolstering of my new natural landscape in these moments of impatience. The stillness. The patience of the trees. The quiet nests where birds can be heard ever so slightly. This poem by David Whyte speaks to me now. Maybe it will speak to you. xo, MAV
