coffee for your liver health
I talk A LOT about herbal tea. And rightly so, its health benefits are far and wide, it’s easy to prepare and accessible (low cost, easy to find materials, etc.) Preparing and drinking tea always feels like its own medicine, as the ritual of it, the heat warming my body and the comfort it brings are all little pieces that make the whole experience of consuming it magical. BUT, if you’re not a tea drinker or like me you like both tea and coffee. You’re in luck.

power of healing touch
In our hyper-digital, fast-paced, no-time-for-sleep-just-give-me-all-the-coffee kinda world, physical distance and information overload have become the norm. Human connection has decreased. Facial treatments have become not just necessary self-care, but an avenue to reset your nervous system, create space for interpersonal context and allow your body and mind to ease into tranquility.
