A powerful reminder from Dr. Emiliana Simon-Thomas of The Big Joy Project on this month’s episode of The Giving Garden® Podcast. May this invite you to notice the small moments, to choose connection, and to let joy be part of how you care, for yourself and for others. Listen to the full story in our season 2 premiere of The Giving Garden® Podcast on YouTube.

Winter calls for a gentler, more nourishing approach to skincare. As cold air and indoor heat strip moisture from the skin, focus on replenishing hydration, strengthening the skin barrier, and slowing down your routine. Choose richer textures, layer humectants and oils, and don’t forget often-neglected areas like hands, lips, and body.  How do you treat your skin can differently in the colder months than the warmer months?

This body oil envelops your skin in the strengthening vitality of Blackthorn, a resilient plant that blooms in the earliest days of spring and bears the first wild fruit of the year. That rare balance of strength and delicacy lives within every drop of our Blackthorn Toning Body Oil. When applied with massage, it helps warm, fortify, and visibly tone the skin, leaving it feeling supported and alive. How would you add this to your self-care ritual?

This face cream embodies the two contrasting properties of the rose, fragility and strength. Our Rose Day Cream Light gently cares for your skin while also providing it with fortifying care. If your skin is prone to sensitivity, the Rose Day Cream Light provides the balance it desires. It absorbs well and is pleasantly light to wear. What is your skincare ritual, using our Rose Day Cream Light?

As your skin moves into a new rhythm, renewal slows and elasticity loosens, let nature’s most powerful ingredients firm and awaken your radiance. Formulated with rhythmized dilutions of powerful ingredients, our anti-aging line revitalizes dull, hormonal skin. Share your ❤️ for our Regenerating face care in the comment section below!

During our Holistic Body Treatments, we caress the entire body with our Body Oils. The treatments enable us to truly achieve deep relaxation and sustainable release. Even more so than our facial treatment, where the focus is on facial care. What both treatments have in common is the way in which we touch the customer. We do not apply pressure. We neither knead nor massage, but instead use breathing hands and rhythmic touches. What makes this so fantastic is that we can work far deeper than by applying pressure. This is because our art of touch essentially reaches people’s soul. Have you experienced one of our treatments?
