Inner & Outer Radiance
To cultivate inner and outer vibrancy is to hold ourselves in a space of deep love and divinity. To honor each breath we take, each teardrop we shed, each beat of our heart, every “flaw” we may perceive, every inherent shortcoming we may possess, all that we find to be beautiful about ourselves and all that we wish to perfect upon. The act of honoring and embracing every fragment of our being within each moment. It is to allow all the love that resides within us to radiate outward and to accept all the love that resides outside of us to permeate inwards. To know and to trust that we are not separate from that which we wish to be. That all that we are meant to be is that which we are presently, and there is always more to come. By embracing ourselves in our current conditions, we allow ourselves to access our full and limitless potential. The thoughts we have hold energy. To radiate is to remind ourselves how radiant we already truly are. That which we wish to be is patiently awaiting. Are we patient enough to await it? By stepping into a space of peaceful patience, we resonate with that which we wish to become, and then we are. Energetically, we are subtly attuning ourselves to a higher and higher vibration. With patience and consistency, this potent gift of self-compassion becomes unwavering amidst turbulent energy, be it internal or external, we become more grounded and centered within ourselves, in the challenging, and darkest of moments, we may shine. We radiate.

First Time Preserving Our Radiance
To preserve our radiance from the skin to within we have a few recommendations that make doing so both effortless and intentional.
Switching from a traditional foundation or skin coverage to a mineral based makeup or a natural tinted SPF (mineral makeup sits gently on the surface of the skin without sinking into or clogging the pores, it provides a barrier from external stressors and UV radiation, and it helps to keep the barrier of the skin intact while providing coverage.) A tinted SPF provides light coverage for the skin and can be formulated with many soothing and hydrating oils that feed the skin healthy nutrients while deflecting UV radiation, they blend in flawlessly, leaving you with a healthy, natural glow. We carry a variety of tinted SPF’s to choose from depending on your skins tone and texture. While we promote being on the offensive when it comes to battling UV, we feel aftercare is just as important. After a day of enjoying the sunny weather, we recommend using a hydrosol containing rose, lavender and/or aloe to replenish and promote balance, and a gentle facial oil or moisturizer containing vitamin c to assist in mitigating any hyperpigmentation that may arise from soaking in the sunshine.
