"Temporarily closed for spiritual maintenance."
As the breeze flows in through open windows and newly planted flowers bloom on our NYC balcony, I feel excited for the summer ahead.
Have you ever created a summer bucket list? For me, it's the perfect way to restore vitality, and planning has always been the first step in manifesting it into reality.
This week, I'm sharing my personal summer bucket list with you along with a step-by-step guide to planning yours.
My my summer bucket list to restore vitality:
- Take a lifelong dream trip to Monaco and Milan with my man
- Plan my mom’s birthday with a special party
- Host an appreciation dinner for our Savor Spa manager team
- Organize Beauty + the Feast dinners in NYC
- Launch a special NEW serum with my favorite Blue Tansy!
- Welcome new team members to our growing company
- Spend time with my daughter shopping and baking!
- Going to the beach (with a clean SPF 50+ and a floppy hat, of course!)
Here are some bucket list items the Savor Beauty team put together that they want to savor this summer:
These plans, both personal and professional, are like micro-doses of adventure. They create a roadmap that brings inner peace and an outer glow of excitement—something to look forward to!
RITUAL: Restore Vitality with a Summer Bucket List
Ingredients: Quiet space, pen and paper or a digital device
Optional Upgrades: Candle, crystals, Savor Beauty Planner
- Set the Mood with a Mask. Begin your planning session by creating a serene environment. Light a candle, surround yourself with crystals, play soothing music, and apply the Chamomile Moisture Mask mixed with your favorite Savor Beauty serum. This ritual elevates the experience, helping you focus and feel inspired.
-
List Your Desires. Write down the adventures and experiences you want to have this summer. These can range from big getaways to simple joys. Here are some budget-friendly and free activities:
- A weekend hike in the mountains
- A day trip to a nearby city
- A spa day at home
- A cooking class
- Visiting a local farmer's market
- Prioritize Your List. Look at your list and identify your top priorities. Choose the adventures that excite you the most and bring you the greatest joy.
- Schedule It. Commit to your top adventures by marking specific dates in your calendar. Highlighting these plans ensures they come to life. Note the date, time, and any necessary preparations for each adventure.
- Plan the Details. Write down the logistics of each adventure. Research locations, book accommodations, create itineraries, and make packing lists. Planning allows you to relax and fully enjoy the experiences when they happen.
- Prepare and Reflect. As your adventure dates approach, prepare yourself mentally and physically. Reflect on what you need to do to make these experiences fulfilling and rejuvenating. Use your Savor Beauty Planner to jot down thoughts, ideas, and reminders.
By following this ritual, you can transform your summer into a series of well-planned, soul-nourishing adventures. Intentional planning not only brings your dreams to life but also fills your days with excitement and purpose.
Happy planning! 🌸
