Finding time for yourself is a common issue, but this can be exacerbated even further when we’re under pressure. The irony is that those turbulent times are when we need more focus on routine. Because it allows us to maintain some equilibrium.
We could all do with feeling happier and more connected with ourselves and others. This is when being compassionate can help. It seems so timely to take a good look at what we mean by compassion, why it's important, and how we can develop it.
Being on the receiving end of touch, be it from someone we love and trust releases serotonin, oxytocin and dopamine in our brains. These are all clever little hormones that help to regulate feelings of anxiety and fear and also encourage us to bond and socialise. But we can also take some time out and benefit from self care and the power of touch in the form of self-massage, which have very similar effects.
At Organa we like to celebrate natural beauty products and organic skincare. Here, we discuss our hero ingredient, Argan Oil and all its benefits, both internally and externally. 10-15 years ago Argan Oil made a splash in many products (especially hair products), but the industry has gone quiet on this super oil. We wanted to raise it’s profile again and remember why this is such an inspiring ingredient - not to be forgotten.
