soft landings + strong roots

as the pace of summer softens and the light begins to change, your body starts craving rhythm. september offers us a landing space, a moment between seasons where we can root, replenish, and realign.

this issue brings you grounding tea rituals, body oil practices, and the emotional wisdom of rose hips, our herb of the month.

morning glow rituals

sip rose hip tea
a tart and vitamin c rich tea that supports immunity, skin clarity, and emotional balance as the season shifts.

anchor with body oil
after your morning shower, massage body oil onto damp skin to seal in moisture and connect with your body’s rhythm.

daily breathwork
before stepping into your day, take 3 slow breaths: inhale for 4, hold for 4, exhale for 6. let your nervous system settle.

midday calm + clarity

iced radiance blend
steep rose hips, hibiscus, and orange peel, then pour over ice for an antioxidant-rich midday tea that refreshes and hydrates.

botanical mist break
midday misting helps shift energy and support emotional clarity. spritz your face, chest, and wrists during a break.

journal check-in
pause with the prompt: what am i holding that’s no longer mine to carry?
