The past few years have been so gigantic, in terms of change, it is hard to process everything that is happening. But as one of the world's leading spiritual masters Thich Nhat Hanh has recently reminded us, that if we cannot care for ourselves, how can we try to care for anyone else.
This rang true for us, and so this week we are looking at ways in which we can help serve our Tessuti community with gentle activities to assist you through this time...
READ — Lockdown is the perfect time to get curious. Teach yourself a new skill, or read into a subject you've always loved. Our pick is The Architecture of Trees, by Cesare Leonardi and Franca Stagi. This gorgeous book is an essential addition to the library of architects, designers, botanists, and anyone fascinated by trees and by nature in all its varieties.
This lavish large-format volume features more than 400 exquisite quill-pen illustrations of 211 tree species. Each is drawn to a scale of 1:100, with and without foliage, complete with tables of seasonal color variations and projections of shadows cast during the hours of daylight and season by season. The Architecture of Trees, $255.
BATHE — Water is a yin element, it's quality is feminine, meaning that any exposure to the element of H2o will invigorate your sensual side. Water has the ability to change shape and characteristics, which is no wonder why a soak or a shower can transform you - from morning to day, action to rest, energy to calm.
We love BAINA for a luxurious end to our daily bathing moments. Their 100% Organic Cotton bath towels comes with a luxuriously soft handle. It features a single sided sweeping ribbed arch detail, in a neutral clay coloured hue. BAINA Cove Bath Towel, Clay, $110
SKIN — The excuse we always use is that we never have enough time for a structured skin care regime. Now is your time to indulge and treat your skin to the hydrating effects of F.Miller's potent yet lightweight Face Oil, a nutrient-dense oil that delivers multi-correctional results to skin.
This multi-tasking blend of 22 active botanicals leaves skin visibly hydrated, nourished and glowing from within.
