In our ever-changing world, we’ve found comfort in noise—clutter, excess, distractions, stimulation—even when our brains and hearts crave peace. We have grown so accustomed to the dings of our emails and the vibrations of our phones that they have almost become an extension of our psyche. Our brain and fingers itch for the next notification, alarm, or alert to let us know that we’re wanted, needed, or are missing out on something…anything. 

But in the wake of all that’s happening across the globe right now, we’re choosing to look towards the sun to see the light in this chapter that can otherwise feel so very dark. Though the coming weeks will be challenging, we have the brilliant opportunity to grasp the beautiful simplicity in just being. 

While we will certainly miss camaraderie, togetherness, and the understated magic of a hug, this is a chance for us all to take a step back and return to ourselves. We have a rare and fleeting moment to quiet the outside world, letting our minds and bodies rest. 

We are learning a lesson in prioritization. We have to understand that we are not our output. We have to honor the simple truth that our health and well-being (as well as the health and well-being of those around us) is truly all that matters. 

As firm believers that everything we consume—from the content we watch to the foods we eat, and of course, the products we put on our skin—has lasting effects on our mental and physical well-being, we want to help calm your mind during this uncertain time. 

We know there is not one simple fix to help you anchor yourself during this storm, but we do want you to know that we will be right here with you every step of the way. 

Inhale. Exhale. Sound on.
