Do you have any resolutions on your list for 2021? I, for one, am not big on New Year resolutions. I love the idea, and I am all for bettering myself, however, I find them overly ambitious and hate how disappointed you feel if you break any of them! Self-improvement and self-work is a process, so be kind with yourself.
Happy Halloween and Happy Blue Moon!
In true Halloween-y fashion, I’m spending the day getting festive by carving my pumpkins and watching some scary movies in cozy pajamas, with my autumn essential oil blends. I can’t help but find Halloween to be a time of high energy and thoughtfulness. Perhaps it’s the rare blue moon!
Blue Moon… you left me standing alooooone! Yes, today is the day. It’s Halloween and the day of the Blue Moon. As you may remember from the beginning of the month, we already had a full moon (Harvest moon). This October, we’ve been lucky enough to have 2 full moons within the month.
It’s called the Blue Moon, not because of the color because though you may get a blue hue in pictures, the moon is not actually blue. It’s just the term used for the 2nd full moon occurring in the same month. It’s pretty rare - It actually happens ‘once in a blue moon’. The next one like this isn’t until August 2021, so make the most!
Halloween’s looking a lil’ different this year, but that doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate in our own special way. If you’ve got nothing planned yet, why not arrange a self-care date with yourself!
Self-care is such an important thing to add to your regime. When you’re kind to yourself, your self will be kind to you! Self-care is a simple yet effective act of love towards yourself, it can be as little as lighting a candle or going for a walk when you’re feeling blue. It has the power to change your overall mood, feeling, and energy.
This Halloween, I’m going to take the time to relax, watch some movies and eat some good seasonal food.
In a world with constant uncertainty, it is a struggle to be present. In this pandemic, for instance, we are understandably focused on looking towards to the future and a world without Covid-19. But really, we are doing it wrong. By looking onto the next day, we’re forgetting to revel in the beauty of TODAY, and it for sure is pretty beautiful.
If I’m ever feeling or looking dull and tired, my go-to solution is to put a face mask on.
While there are many options that you can purchase from the supermarket, from hydrating, sheet, clay... the list is endless. That said, I usually go for the all-natural, all-easy-peasy DIY.
When making DIY masks, I try to just use ingredients I have in the house, such as oats, honey, and essential oils. Using natural ingredients helps me know exactly what’s going on my face and in my skin, a lot of the store-bought ones contain chemicals that sometimes do more harm than good. This way, it’s a little project of finding what I have in the cupboard. What’s more, essential oils give any mask that boost it needs.
