Monday Musings
Spring break seems to be on everyone's minds. So whether you're just returning, getting ready to go, planning a staycation, or doing nothing at all, we hope this week gives you the space you need to rejuvenate.
Adrien: We have become a culture of urgency, distraction, and way too much stress! At Alexandria Wellness, we are keenly focused on creating stress-resilience practices because we know the long-lasting effects of unaddressed stress are detrimental to brain physiology and function as well as our overall wellness.
Unacknowledged and unaddressed, stress has tragic consequences ranging from weight gain and sleepless nights to serious conditions like diabetes and heart disease. Our Small Group Program incorporates wellness discussions alongside fitness training to support physical and emotional stress-resilience practices. Get in touch with our talented coach, Lis, to learn how you can begin your journey to holistic wellness.
Elizabeth: Okay, so Annette has told me that I have to stop ordering so many hats. Unless I sell some of these, she is going to start rejecting shipments from any of our hat brands. So, I thought I would show some of my favorites from spring and maybe help Annette out with merchandising and encourage some folks to buy a hat.
The packable fedora by Rag & Bone is probably the hat I wear the most. I am not someone that wears a hat as part of my outfit. I am not that together. I wear them at games, on vacation, by the pool, and so on. Basically, to keep the sun out of my face. But I mean, if you are going to do that, you might as well look cute, right? Since I wear them when I am on the go, the packable version is always the one I reach for first. (Available at The Shoe Hive in Limestone, Ivory, and Blush, $250)
Now, if you want a beautiful hat that will make people ask, "Where did you get that?" you need a hat from Freya (Available at The Shoe Hive, $230) or Janessa Leone (Available at The Shoe Hive, $260). Stop by The Shoe Hive and check out our entire selection from these lines.
Celthia: We are loving the Supergoop City Serum! This silky-smooth lightweight moisturizer protects against UV damage and helps fight the signs of photo aging. Packed with antioxidants like Vitamin E and B5, it's suitable for all skin types. Men love it too! (Available at Bellacara, $42)
Amy: We have never met a bag of Poppy popcorn that we haven't loved. Poppy focuses on quality ingredients, and their flavor combos never, ever disappoint. Plus, their packaging is so fun and festive, which makes them extra giftable - especially their seasonal flavors!
(Available at Penny Post, $7-$24)
Britt: I just finished Colleen Hoover's bestseller, It Ends With Us, and I can't recommend it enough! The end brought me to tears, and it was the perfect book to cozy up with during these rainy spring days.
