3 Ways To Become More Mindful This Season

Discover our range of conscious gift sets & relaxing skincare rituals The holiday season is often considered a time of relaxation, merry-making and family when in reality it can be quite stressful—cooking up a storm, attending and hosting holiday parties, travelling locally and abroad. Not to mention all the shopping. In an effort to create a ‘slower’ festive season, we have thought up a few ways to become more mindful and present, while also considering the planet over the coming weeks. Make time for yourself With so much preparation, organization, and endless socializing, it is often a challenge to grab a moment for yourself. The risk of burnout is high, with a holiday needed after the festive season, only to recover. Although it may be a challenge, try to prioritize yourself by not saying yes to every Christmas party and delegating tasks to friends and family members where possible. If you can’t indulge in a day of relaxation, try to capture a moment of daily self-care, whether lighting a candle, taking a long hot bath, or indulging in a nourishing skincare ritual. Make Connections It’s sometimes easy to get caught up in the chaos, which is why it is important to remember that this season is all about connection. It’s a time to reconnect with family and friends, create memories and become more present in the moment. This season isn’t the easiest for some, so take the opportunity to connect with the community and reach out to those in need.   While connecting to loved ones is important, don’t forget that this is a chance for you to disconnect from work, turn off your phone, slow down and reconnect with nature. Become a Conscious Shopper With so many presents going unused and winding up in landfills, one of the easiest ways to gift sustainably is to ensure you are buying something that your loved one really wants, needs, and intends to use. In being a bit more mindful this season, you may also want to consider the resources that went into the product and if the gift is something that will last. Are the ingredients or parts sustainably sourced? Is the packaging recyclable? What are the delivery methods? You may also want to consider supporting companies and brands that are ethically and environmentally responsible. Look out for conscious companies doing their part to give back to nature, and when selecting products, keep an eye out for eco-friendly certifications.

5 Ways To Celebrate This Holiday Season

Make this holiday season even more memorable with our range of deluxe gift sets The Christmas Holidays have no doubt evolved and changed in recent years, with friends and family from all walks of life coming together to celebrate the holiday season in traditional and not-so-traditional ways. To help make this season as festive as ever, we have compiled a list of 5 ways to celebrate this year. Break tradition Like many holidays, family is often the focus of the festive season. This year will see many loved ones reunited after a challenging few years, with some of us finally able to share special moments together again. To mix it up this year, why not create a new festive tradition like a barbeque on Christmas day, Christmas eve at the movies, a neighborhood block party, or a relaxing spa day for two? “My family is competitive. We always split into teams and play games, this could be a game of Volleyball, Rugby, Tug-of-Ware,  and even Karaoke.”  – Daisy, Community Co-ordinator Celebrate with friends In some cases, friends become our second family and the people we choose to spend time with over the holiday season. If this is the case, why not book a weekend escape with the gang, organize a potluck holiday party or see the new year in style surrounded by your best friends? “As an expat living away from home, I spend Christmas with my friends from all around the world. We’ll go to the beach in the morning, have a big dinner and play Christmas music all day. A great way to beat homesickness!” — Ash, Product Development Find an eco-friendly gift Half the fun of the festive season is exchanging gifts. But with so many presents winding up in landfills, why not take the eco-friendly route? There are a few ways to keep things sustainable this season, whether creating a homemade gift, buying eco-friendly products from sustainable companies, giving a gift that is not single-use, and minimizing your wrapping where possible.  “Christmas isn’t a traditional festival in my hometown, in China (but it’s still popular there.) I usually spend time with my friends and buy apples for them as gifts.” —Diana, Brand activations Give back Spoiling friends and family is great, but giving back to the community is an even better way to celebrate the season. Take your pick of ways to help, whether donating gifts, volunteering at a local shelter, or inviting a neighbor or friend over who may be spending the holidays alone. “Each year I take a box of pet treats and toys to the local Hawkesbury Animal Shelter which is where my dogs and cats have been adopted from.” — Bec, Beauty Education Take time for you! Sometimes, the festive season doesn’t have to be all about family and friends. It can be a chance to destress and decompress after a busy year, so why not take a solo holiday to a tropical island, book a spa day, or indulge in a relaxing self-care ritual?     “I like having a few days with just nothing planned to relax by the pool or have an afternoon nap.”  Luke, Ecommerce

5 Holistic Wellness Tips for the Holiday Season

Maintaining holistic wellness practices over the festive period can often be a challenge. With so many social activities, getaways to plan, and Christmas shopping to do, it’s not surprising that healthy eating, self-care, and exercise fall by the wayside. To help keep your mind, body, and soul nourished over the holiday season, here are our top 5 tips. Keep Moving Our exercise plans tend to go out the window with the arrival of the festive season. Whether you are jetting off on holiday or have the whole family coming to stay, it is often difficult to fit in a much-needed workout. If you can't hit your favorite yoga class or a session at the gym, try and change it up with fun family and friends activities, whether bike-riding, beach volleyball, or a round of cricket in the garden. Elevate your Beauty Ritual The holidays can often wreak havoc on our skin with so many celebrations and indulgences. Consider your skincare goals for the season. Perhaps you want glowing party-ready skin or a nourishing treatment to hydrate thirsty skin? Updating your daily skincare ritual by adding an essence, serum, or treatment can give you the perfect boost to reach your holiday skin goals.   Stay Hydrated With so much merry-making, mulled wine, festive cocktails, and glasses of celebratory bubbles, it is easy to become dehydrated. To help, start the morning with a glass of cold water with lemon and ensure you drink at least 8 ounces of water per day. Remember that dehydration can also take its toll on the skin, so this is the time to up the ante on your hydrating skincare rituals. Think hydrating mists, serums, lotions, creams, and nourishing overnight masks and treatments. Book a Spa Day The festive season can often deplete our energy, leaving both mind and body exhausted. If this is the case, it's often best to leave it to the professionals. Book a Jurlique spa experience and indulge in a signature facial, nourishing body treatment or treatment package for head-to-toe relaxation and rejuvenation. Practice Mindfulness With body and skin sorted, it is time to focus on the mind. Stress is all too common over the holidays, so it's important to nurture your mind during this busy period. Schedule five minutes of meditation per day—turning off your phone, tuning out the world and allowing a moment of calm to set you up for the day ahead.
