Summer to Fall: Shifts & Transitions

autumn leaves


As we transition from summer to fall, we're in that vital in-between time where we return to center so we can pivot. Autumn reminds us of lessons around change – about embracing the present, as all things are impermanent. It teaches us about preservation and rest, about harmony and balance, about protecting ourselves and allowing ourselves to relish in simple comforts.

Check in with yourself and reflect on what brings you comfort and ease. Indulge in those things today, this week, always. We love those things for you!
Speaking of transitions...
Here are some of our favorite IYOBA goods in alignment with this theme:

1. Transitioning to an all-natural deodorant?
Detox Face Mask
Try our Detox Face Mask as an underarm detox mask to shorten the transition process. Switching to a natural deodorant will cause your body to "detox" from aluminum and other harsh chemicals many synthetic antiperspirants and deodorants have. Using a clay-based mask like this one will help get your underarms from feeling from "blegh!" to fresh faster.
2. In between protective styles?
Nourish Root Elixir
Use our Nourish Root Elixir to give yourself a good scalp massage, especially after having your hair tucked away for a few weeks. This formula is designed to promote a healthier scalp, so that you can reap the benefits in the form of silkier hair that is thicker and full of body.
3. Switching to a facial soap bar?
Tomato Face Soap
Our Tomato Face Soap is an unscented soap bar packed full of fresh tomato and all the skin-loving enzymes and vitamins that come along with it. Tomato fruit contains lycopene which is a powerful antioxidant that reduces sun damage, which is especially helpful after all our time out in the summer sun.
