Embracing the Season of Exploration

As the sun shines brightly, we are reminded of the wonders that surround us. Embracing this season of adventure means taking a moment to reflect on the opportunities in our lives. Whether it's the adventures we embark on, the warmth of the sun on our skin, or the laughter of friends that brightens our days, there is so much to be thankful for. By focusing on the exploration that awaits, we can shift our perspective and invite even more excitement into our lives. Take time to enjoy the summer scents, the energy in the air, and the vibrancy of the season, and let these reminders of nature's beauty fill you with appreciation and optimism.

Creating a Radiant Home

Creating a radiant home goes beyond physical comfort; it's about fostering an environment that radiates positivity and happiness. Infuse your living space with elements of nature by introducing plants, utilizing natural materials, and filling the air with fresh scents like citrus and flowers. These details not only establish a bright and welcoming ambiance but also connect you to the vibrancy of the season. Streamlining and arranging your space can provide clarity and concentration, supporting you in pursuing your aspirations and ambitions. Let your home embody a haven of light and optimism, mirroring the richness of the summer season.

Living in Harmony with Nature

Living in harmony with nature is a core aspect of the Summer Radiance Living Seasonally Program. By connecting with the natural world and respecting the earth's cycles, we can foster a sense of equilibrium and unity in our lives. Spend time outdoors, whether it's strolling through the woods, practicing yoga in a park, or simply relaxing in a garden or on a balcony surrounded by plants. These moments of communion with nature enable us to access its insights and direction, harmonizing ourselves with life's natural rhythms. Embrace the earth's cycles and allow them to lead you towards a life of radiance and happiness.

Giving Back and Making a Positive Impact

Sharing our light and energy with others is a delightful way to attract more radiance into our lives. By giving back, whether through volunteering, donating to charity, or simply being there for a friend in need, we nurture a sense of purpose and fulfillment. The universe rewards our generosity and kindness, creating a ripple effect of positivity that contributes to a more harmonious and radiant world. As you embrace the season of exploration, remember to spread joy and light to those around you, making a positive impact that extends far beyond your own life.

Step 1

Set an Intention

Set aside personal time to begin your Summer Radiance home-spa treatment. Begin by lighting a Wild Honeysuckle Luxe Candle and set an intention for yourself, for this treatment, and for the season. Continue the ritual by brewing a warm fragrant cup of Bee Inspired Artisanal Midnight Berry Tea, and if you like it sweet like the season, add a dollop of Bee Inspired Blueberry Blossom Honey.

Step 2

Exfoliate Your Body

Increase circulation and release your outer layers with an enlivening full-body exfoliation with Place in the Sun Body Scrub. During the summer, the heat can cause your body to lose essential minerals and nutrients through perspiration, making it crucial to replenish them with nourishing products. A nutritive blend of honey crystals and replenishing seed oils and seeds loaded with vitamins A, C and E, work in tandem with summer fruit and laurel essential oils to lackluster skin leaving you with a radiant glow and smoother skin.

Directions: Apply the scrub to the body on damp skin in swift, circular motions working upwards from your extremities towards the heart to stimulate lymphatic flow. Allow the crystals and rich emollients to rest and absorb on the skin for maximum benefit. Rinse off with warm water, towel dry, and apply Bee Inspired Place in the Sun Body Butter or rinse off only and proceed to Step 3.

Summer is the perfect time of year to get outside and play, let the sun guide your path to joy and vitality. Embrace nature and take root in the great outdoors. Bee Inspired Calming Mask, made with refining mineral clays, soothing colloidal oats, and conditioning and hydrating coconut milk, is suitable for all skin types and can be used on the body and face to draw out stagnant energy and impurities.

Directions: Combine 2 parts of Bee Inspired Calming Mask powder to 1 part liquid *mixer and blend well. Apply the freshly blended mask onto your face and/or body for 10-15 minutes or until dry. Rinse off with warm water, towel dry, and apply Bee Inspired Place in the Sun Body Butter or rinse off only and proceed to Step 4. 

*Warm Bee Inspired Artisanal Good Night Tea, purified water, plain Greek yogurt, and Blueberry Blossom Honey are all suitable liquid mixers for this mask.

Soak

Dim the lights. Turn on some relaxing tunes. Light your candle. Submerge yourself in a warm bath fortified with Calming Bath Soak. Allow yourself to completely unwind into this luxurious blend of Sea salt and lavender buds all working in tandem to relax the body and replenish vital minerals. 

Directions: Add 4-6 tablespoons of Calming Bath Soak to a warm bath and soak for 20 minutes for maximum absorption. For optimal results, follow with a cool shower rinse.
