thought of the week: depth.

during the middle of summer, i was feeling a bit down. i really was craving normalcy which for me typically includes tons of travel, live music and quality time with friends and family. more than anything, i was tired of having the same conversations over and over again about the pandemic. while covid is absolutely real, there are millions of other things going on. and as someone who hates small talk, i was sick of answering the same questions.

my friend elisa sent me a quote that she said made her think of me. upon reading it, i smiled because it was so fitting. and not only did it fit my vibe during quarantine, it fits my vibe year around.

“hard to be deep with those who swim in shallow water.” -james charles morris

i am someone who really values meaningful connection. during quarantine, i have had to be so much more intentional about how to factor those deep conversations into my week. while during covid, there has been nonstop conversation about physical health, i wanted to take some time to highlight both mental and emotional health.

have you been carving out time and space to have deep conversations with people around you? are the people around you capable of depth?

my mental and emotional health tanks cannot be filled without depth. what are your mental and emotional health needs?

saje natural wellness

last week, i did a little staycation in san diego. it was exponentially improved by three things: great company, an unparalleled dining experience at herb & sea and my soak in the tub with saje natural wellness.

hillary knows me so well that she deep cleaned her tub in preparation for my arrival. while she finished working, i enjoyed a peach hard seltzer while listening to leon bridges and soaking in her tub. prior to my 30th birthday, i had never heard of saje natural wellness. leave it to hillary to show me the better things in life. she knows how much i love baths plus, both hilly and her roommate swear by saje.

let me tell you this: i literally felt like i was on a cloud. the bedtime ritual relaxing bath kit did just that. i just floated away. my muscles were so relaxed and the tension i often carry in my back just melted away. something i loved is that the kit came with enough bath salts for at least two (if not three) soaks. the body butter, oil and candle really rounded out the experience. i felt completely at ease in the tub but what i loved most was how that state of being continued even after. i absolutely felt a difference in how i slept that night, even on a couch – that should tell you something.

while i initially would’ve just categorized this as beauty, i realized that saje is much more than that. if you are truly into health and wellness, saje is for you because of their ability to reduce stress and create calm. if you love candles and diffusers for your home to create a certain ambiance, saje is for you. if you want a natural approach to beauty and wellness, look no further.

have you tried saje natural wellness? what are your favorite products?
