As the winds of May settle and the air begins to hum with summer’s arrival, we find ourselves in a sacred pause.
The end of May is more than a turning of the calendar—it's a quiet invitation to reflect, realign, and renew. Nature reminds us that endings and beginnings are not separate; they are braided together in the same golden thread. One season leads us gently into the next, carrying the stories we’ve gathered along the way.
🌼 Reflecting on May: Growth, Grounding, and Gentle Blossoms
May carried the pulse of renewal—tender green leaves, garden dreams, muddy boots, and soft early blooms. For many of us, it was a month of planting: intentions, ideas, and literal seeds. We stretched out of winter’s quiet and into movement, even if it was slow and messy.
Ask yourself:
-
What did I begin this month that feels aligned with who I’m becoming?
-
Where did I overextend or bloom too quickly?
-
What small moment or memory made me feel most alive?
Whether you were tending a garden, your health, your family, or your inner world—May offered space for subtle transformation. Take a breath to notice how far you've come, even in ways no one else can see.

☀️ Looking Ahead to June: Embracing the Wild, the Warm, and the Wonder
June carries the spirit of aliveness. The sun lingers longer in the sky, the plants stretch taller, and everything feels like it’s whispering “yes” to more life.
This is the season of:
-
Hydration and support — our lymph, skin, and energy levels need extra nourishment.
-
Movement and circulation — the heat can stir up stagnation physically and emotionally.
-
Play and pleasure — time outside, barefoot walks, flower picking, and sunset-sipping herbal teas.
June is a chance to lean into what lights you up. What would happen if you allowed more softness and joy into your days? If you let yourself live more outside the lines—like wildflowers do?
🌿 What to Focus on in June:
-
Seasonal Support:
Reach for herbs that keep things flowing—like Love Your Lymph Tea to support circulation, Wild + Dandy Balm for swollen feet or heat rash, and Just a Phase Balm as your multi-use summer staple. -
Hydration Rituals (without saying “detox”):
Think infusions, juicy fruits, spritzed hydrosols, and sipping herbal teas in the shade. Stay nourished, not just hydrated. -
Slowing Down to Savor:
Longer days don’t mean you have to fill every minute. It’s okay to savor one good moment instead of rushing through ten. -
Nature Walks & Garden Play:
Get your hands in the dirt. Let your bare feet touch the grass. June invites you to remember what it feels like to simply be.
🌻 A Journal Prompt for June:
"What does summer teach me about freedom, joy, and nourishment?"
Answer this slowly. Let it reveal how you want to live—not just for the season, but in your soul.
As we step into June, may you feel the sun on your skin and the stirrings of joy in your belly.
Let this be the month you chase softness instead of perfection. The month you drink from the cup of nature a little deeper. The month you remember: you are a wild thing, too.
