WINTER FACIALS WILL MAKE YOU SLEIGH THIS SEASON!
Why get a facial every month?
Getting a facial every month offers numerous benefits for both your skin and overall well-being. Monthly facials provide deep cleansing, removing impurities and excess oils that can lead to breakouts, while exfoliating dead skin cells for a smoother, more radiant complexion. The professional treatments stimulate circulation, promote collagen production, and enhance hydration, helping to improve skin elasticity, reduce fine lines, and prevent premature aging. Customizing facials to your specific skin concerns—whether acne, dryness, or sensitivity—ensures targeted results, while the detoxifying effects clear out toxins and pollutants. Regular facials also offer stress relief through relaxation techniques and expert skincare advice to maintain long-term skin health. By preventing issues like clogged pores and breakouts, facials promote a clearer, healthier complexion, boosting your confidence and leaving you with glowing, youthful skin.

MOXIE MESSAGE:
Winter Self-Care: How to Survive the Cold Without Becoming a Human Popsicle
Winter is here. That magical season where your body turns into a stiff, achy, cold-despising creature that would rather hibernate than socialize. But fear not! This isn’t just the time to wrap yourself in blankets and binge-watch Netflix until spring. With a few simple self-care tips inspired by ancient Chinese medicine and a dash of modern-day sensibility, you can thrive in the cold months without losing your soul to the frigid winds. So grab your comfiest sweater and let’s dive into the ultimate Moxie winter wellness guide.
1. Limber Up: Stretch, Rub, Repeat
If you're feeling stiffer than a frozen pizza, it's time to loosen up. Winter brings that delightful sensation of "everything hurts for no reason," and it’s easy to let those aches take over. But fear not, for your body just needs a little TLC (Tender Loving Care, and maybe some Tiger Balm).
Try a yin yoga class (which sounds fancy but is really just a slower, more relaxed version of yoga that won't make you break a sweat). If your joints are feeling like a rusty hinge, slather them with menthol-based magic potions like Zheng Gu Shui or Tiger Balm. These lotions, available at most Asian grocery stores, will make your muscles feel like they’ve just been massaged by a tiny, magical elf. Stretch, rub, and repeat—your body will thank you.
2. Keep the Blood Moving: Exercise Without Becoming a Sweaty Mess
It’s tempting to curl up in a blanket burrito and call it a day, but here’s the deal: your body needs movement. Yes, even in winter. We’re not suggesting you become a snowshoeing marathon runner, but a brisk walk or some light jogging is the perfect way to keep that internal Qi (or life force) flowing.
If you're more into dancing around your living room like nobody's watching, that’s a great start too. Just don’t overdo it—sweating too much in the cold can leave you vulnerable to colds and flu. So, dance, walk, jog—but maybe skip the marathon until the snow melts.
3. Stay Warm: The Art of the Foot Bath
Did you know that your feet are basically the VIP section of your body’s energy flow? Yep, according to Chinese medicine, keeping your feet warm is like giving your body a VIP pass to a wellness concert. So what’s the easiest way to keep your feet and your Qi happy? Foot baths.
Fill a basin with warm water, drop in some eucalyptus, rosemary, or black peppercorn essential oils, and soak those puppies. Not only does it warm you up from the toes up, but it also nourishes your Kidney Qi, which is basically your body’s battery pack. Bonus: it feels like a mini spa day—without the expensive price tag.
4. Eat and Drink Like You're Preparing for a Winter Apocalypse
Winter is the time to nourish your body with hearty, warming foods. This isn’t salad season, my friends—this is stew season. If you’re not slurping soup on the regular, are you even doing winter right?
Start your day with hot water and fresh ginger to fire up your digestive system (because let’s be real, your digestive fire probably needs a little encouragement after all those holiday cookies). Then, throw in some warming spices into your meals like cinnamon, cloves, and black pepper. These little ingredients don’t just make your food taste like a cozy hug—they help keep your internal engine running smoothly.
Pro tip: Stews, soups, and broths are your winter BFFs. They’re like a warm, delicious blanket for your insides. And remember, garlic, leeks, sweet potatoes, and chicken are not just tasty—they’re energetically warm. Eat them like your life depends on it (okay, maybe not that dramatically, but you get the idea).
5. Sleep Like You’re in a Winter Wonderland
When winter rolls around, so does the need for more sleep. The days get shorter, the nights longer, and your body’s natural response is to go into "hibernate mode." So go ahead, indulge in a little extra shut-eye.
According to Taoists (who seem to know a thing or two about sleep), you should aim to get to bed around 9 or 10 PM and sleep until the sun rises. I know, I know—this might sound like a lofty goal, but if you can, try to turn in earlier and enjoy a more restful winter. Think of it like charging your phone overnight—only you’re charging your soul.
6. Look Inward: Breathe and Reflect
Winter is the perfect time to slow down, take a deep breath, and reflect. While the world is hustling and bustling around you, this is your time to look inward, like a peaceful snowflake gently drifting to the ground. Winter gives you the space to be still, meditate, and listen to your body. The cold, dark stillness isn’t something to fear—it’s the perfect backdrop for reflection and personal growth.
So grab a blanket, sip some hot tea (FROM WHIMSY TEA), and enjoy the quiet moments. Use this time to reset your intentions, appreciate what you’ve learned, and mentally prepare for the vibrant energy that will return when spring finally rolls around.
Final Thoughts: Winter Doesn’t Have to Be a Cold, Miserable Beast
With the right approach, winter can be your season of self-care and rejuvenation. Limber up, keep the blood moving, stay warm, eat nourishing foods, sleep like a champion, and take the time to reflect. The cold months don’t have to drain you—they can restore you if you know how to give your body and mind what they need.
So, here's to a winter of warmth, nourishment, and all the self-care you can handle. May your feet always be toasty, your soup always be hot, and your Qi flow as smoothly as that first cup of ginger tea. Oh yeah, DONT FORGET TO WEAR A SCARF!
