noun
the quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness

Thankful for this beautiful land that supports our family and larger community.

Did you know that Olympia was home to Lushootseed speaking peoples for thousands of years?

We are located on the ancestral lands of the Steh-Chass band of the Squaxin Island Tribe and Nisqually Indian Tribe, who have long been stewards of the region’s waters, plants, and animals. The southernmost point of the Salish Sea, these lands were—and still are—a place of gathering, trade, and community for many Coast Salish peoples.

Blessings to you and yours as this new season begins 🍃🍂✨

Why do we want to avoid fragrance in skincare (even if you don’t have sensitive skin)?

Added fragrances are always for market placement…never for skin health. Companies want to remind you of your beloved grandmother or the mall or… your grandmother at the mall 😉.

People with chronic inflammatory skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, or rosacea, may be the most sensitive to fragrances and should avoid them. Everyone else will benefit from fragrance free skincare as it will minimize micro inflammation that will reduce the benefits you are seeking from your products.

Fragrance-Free vs. Unscented Products
Fragrance-free means that no chemicals are added to enhance aroma or mask an odor. ‘Unscented’ means that a product lacks a scent, however there may be masking fragrances to eliminate the odor. ‘Natural’ or ‘green’ products can also contain botanical essential oils, which can cause allergic contact dermatitis.

It’s important that you work with your skincare professional to find the right products for your skin type and needs.

🖤EASY SKIN AND WELLNESS UPGRADE🖤

We brought these into the spa to celebrate our DELUXE Massage Facial 🥰. We LOVE these beautiful obsidian gua sha facial stones. They are incredibly smooth (obsidian is a natural glass stone) and feel divine when pulled across the skin.

This is the perfect gift for the skin care Lover in your life (that includes you) 🖤🤍.

We are are the benefits of gua sha?
While records of gua sha usage started emerging in the Ming Dynasty, it is still a commonly used TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) technique today. Practitioners have found it helpful for alleviating pain as well as increasing circulation and energy flow. And while there have been many Chinese studies regarding the efficacy of gua sha, it is only recently that American researchers have begun publishing their own findings. Among those listed above, gua sha also:

Promotes blood circulation✨
From a Chinese medicine perspective, the Tai Yin meridians (composed of the lung and spleen) and Yang Ming meridians (composed of the large intestines and the stomach) are responsible for your skin’s overall health. When you gently scrape the skin on your face with your gua sha tool, what you are doing is stimulating your Yang Ming meridians. You are also sending your body a signal that this area needs more blood circulation.

Promotes lymphatic drainage💫
Gua sha can eliminate fluid build-up, which can in turn reduce puffiness. Since lymph collects superficially under the skin, a deep tissue massage bypasses it (for the most part) in favor of the muscles. A lymphatic drainage massage doesn’t feel particularly intense and that’s on purpose. It’s designed to follow the pathways of the lymph, lymph nodes, and uses a soft touch to assist the body in draining and detoxifying.

Relieves tension from muscles 🌟
Experts note that by applying pressure with a gua sha tool regularly, users can untangle knotted areas and release built-up muscular tension. Gua sha works by engaging tissue to eliminate fluid build-up in the lymph nodes (which can give the illusion of a more contoured face).

Not sure how to use one (even if you already have one)? Swing by and we will show you how!

Along with painting, Travis expresses his work through drawing, sculpture, and performance. His cartoon folk aesthetic is a lush visual motif that he continues to explore in his telling of a nu black mythology.
