Your Holiday Survival Kit
Winter break is a time of rest, recuperation and preparation for a new year. It’s a time when self-care is essential and knowing how to decompress is absolutely necessary. The process will be different for everyone; so, regardless of whether you are working over the break, vegging at home with family or doing a little bit of both, it is for the benefit of everyone that you take this time to take cae. Here are a few things we think you will benefit from some of our favorite products during this holiday season. Starting with a good book…
Book of the Month
The newest book of the month is, drumroll please…
The Wangs vs. the World
This book paints the portrait of a “most vital, most sacred self,” the identity of one when they “have nothing.” This book is the perfect book to read when you feel you have nothing left — a walk back to the most important things in life, if you will. Which means, this is perfect for our holiday break — a time outside the routine of making stuff for a grade, a time when we must find our worth apart from what we do. This season, we wish just that for you; we hope this book will leave a lasting impact and the simple thought that you are more valuable than what you produce. We hope your break will be one of cozying up, reading a little something and remembering your best self in the process.

Yogi Tea
And what would our sweet cozying up be without a nice hot cup of tea? It makes the restlessness in our hearts die down, while relaxing us into a season of comfort and joy, while we peruse the reading of our delight. Yogi tea is one of our favorites. A tea that celebrates wholeness of the most fundamental kind, stimulated by the philosophy of Ayuveda, traditional Chinese medicine and Western herbalism, is a perfect way to get back to the basics of life and health.
Leaders Cosmetics 7 Wonders Masks
Another great way to chill after this crazy quarter, well, this crazy year, is to reset with a therapeutic face mask. Leaders Cosmetics has an incredible new collection of masks that will make you wonder at how new you feel. Made up of coconut gel, your skin will get a fresh replenishment of Vitamins B, C and antioxidant Anthocyanin, while the harsh dirt of this old year is removed. Try the 7 Wonders Collection to be transported to Amazon rainforest or the Caribbean all in the form of a mask.
