Self-care. That word scares me. Maybe it scares you too. It sounds hard. It doesn’t have to be. I invite us to start with some simple things. Like a walk in the woods. Like homemade bone soup that’s been simmering on the stove for twelve hours. Like Epsom salt baths with eucalyptus and a Mexican cocoa candle. Like essential oils of clary sage, frankincense, and wild orange by your bed. Like Arnica salve, infused from the forest floor. Like early mornings in bed with your journal. And some very excellent beverages along the way that are as healing as they are delicious: like ginger tea, like guava kombucha, like rooibos muddled with mint over ice.
These custom drinks are designed by master mixologist, Meagan Schmoll of Whitefish, Montana, to help your state of being in the way that you so desire. And they are alcohol free.
Enjoy! yrs. Laura
