The ferocity of fall surprises me every year. Life seems to pick up a chaotic speed, thanks to fast-approaching holidays, the demands of work in full swing, and, I imagine, some kind of intemperate cosmic tug. But when it's good, it's electric. Like a life force we're meant to harness and stow away for slower February days. I try to remind myself of this when I feel the familiar creep of overwhelm. I also ground myself in simple rituals, like my daily allover slathering of our body butter. It's essential for me when the weather turns cold-it keeps skin so supple during dry winter months. And it's our most repurchased product for a reason: The texture is incredibly luxurious and it's high-performing (with clinical results to prove it). The process of massaging it in helps me return to my body. It's beauty as wellness.
