Apply the oil
Gua sha, with oil
A smooth stone, a few drops of face oil, slow upward strokes — drainage for the skin and the day.
Dry brush, then oil
Wake the skin with a bristle brush, then press golden body oil in with warm hands. Circulation, then softness.
NOURISH
Brew the tea
Brew the tea
Weigh the leaves, warm a kyusu, steep, pour into a bowl. A glass over ice for the afternoon. The whole measure of a cup.
NIGHTLY
A ritual for two
A ritual for two
The 'just for you' oil within reach, an incense stick trailing smoke, perhaps a mood lit by candlelight. The day put down gently. Just for you and your partner, quiet, sensual, and deeply satisfying.
