The Super Wellness Weekend Edit
Don’t you feel that when the air gets crisper and the days shorten, our body is also in need of more care and compassion? Although we’re true believers that there’s not a right or wrong time to take care ourselves, we also do believe that there are specific times during the year when our body and our mind need to be taken care of more often.
One of these times is when the colder season is in full swing. The past two years have taught us a lot in terms of being isolated from the rest of the world and probably we all felt we had more time in our hands to do things for ourselves. Even though things are back to a semi-normality nowadays, let’s keep that lesson alive and try to keep those self-love moments present also in the day-to-day routine.
