My most favorite season of the year is almost here! Autumn is a magical time of year, with transformation & change happening right before our eyes. In my opinion, no other season captures change more like fall, especially as vibrant colors sprinkle the landscape, and leaves in all shades of red, orange & yellow float to ground leaving branches bare.

As change happens all around us, it’s easy to get caught up in the movement, especially with the holidays around the corner. During this time of the year, it’s important to stay grounded, and not get swept up in all the chaos. This season, we need to do more of what brings us joy, invest in activities & rituals things that nourish and fill us up.

In anticipation of the winds kicking up and temperatures dropping, the intention of the autumn box is to offer: nourishment, balance & remind us to come back to self. With those intentions in mind, the autumn blends are formulated incorporating essential oils that embody and encourage nourishment, balance and self-love:

• BELOVED (Blend of black pepper, clary sage, sweet marjoram & ylang ylang)

• SOUL SELF (Blend of: blood orange, palmarosa, ylang ylang & vetiver). Although this is a new blend to the Moments of Self-Care blend family, I’ve used this blend in my personal collection for many years. I gravitate to this blend during the cooler months or when I’m feeling burnt out and need more nourishment. It’s exactly the vibe I’m going for this season ❤︎

• CALM AF - Autumn edition (Blend of: lavender & blood orange)
