Roses & Rebirth
In the month named for “februare”—the Latin word for “to purify”—we can connect with the uplifting energy of cleansing and rebirth, all the while caring for ourselves in an atmosphere of softness that guides fresh, new light into our lives. And what a gift it is to fall into that tender space with an open heart.
I always find peace both by connecting with heartfelt community, my dear friends and family, and of course among the precious plants. This month I’ll turn to botanical remedies that encourage a gentle renewal on every level—especially pure Essence of Rose, a key ingredient in some of our most well-loved formulations, including Bulgarian Rose Water and Quintessential Serum. Not only does the exquisite Essence of Rose contain rejuvenating, nutritive essentials that heal the skin, but it’s unparalleled in its ability to deepen spiritual connections at the heart’s center. In a similar way, I’m drawn towards Rose Quartz, which tenderly reawakens the heart and supports a renewed connection with the divine. Both of these powerful natural treasures has the capacity to brighten the path with such warmth.
To experience the synergy of their incredible natural energies at work this month, you might indulge in a super-charged bath carrying the vibrational resonance of both Rose and Rose Quartz by allowing several handfuls of fresh (or dried) rose petals to steep in the sun along with a favorite Rose Quartz crystal in a gallon-sized jar of water for several hours. Then, for the ultimate evening soak, add your sun-drenched brew to a bath spiked with our exclusive Très Rose Body Oil. So sweetly serene, cleansing your field with a fresh energy, bright and soft.
I’m grateful for the many ways in which we can use nature’s generous gifts to enter softly into the new with both a fresh outlook and a heartwarming sense of connection to everything around us.
