A New Season, New Vibes - And a Cause Close to Our Hearts



Hola,


October is here, and with it, the coziness of fall, cooler days, and a chance to slow down and savor those little moments of comfort. It's also a time for reflection and supporting causes that mean a lot to many of us.


At FLOR y YERBA, we're marking Breast Cancer Awareness Month by donating proceeds from our Spanish Rose Candle to an organization whose mission is to prevent and cure breast cancer with promising research. This cause is personal for me - my sister was diagnosed earlier this year but has fought it with incredible strength and resilience. It's a reminder of how important it is to stay on top of our health and get regular mammograms. Early detection truly saves lives, and it's not just about the physical it has a profound impact on our mental well-being too. Taking proactive steps helps reduce anxiety and gives us more peace of mind.





This season is also a time for finding balance, embracing change, and showing up for yourself and others. One of my favorites right now is brewing a cup of my own herbal tea blend, wrapping myself in a warm blanket, and letting the soothing herbs work their magic. It's a simple way to create a moment of calm, and I'd love for you to try it too.


Here are some other suggestions of my favorite ways to ground myself as the season shifts.


  • Take a drive up north (Upstate), if you're on the East Coast and view the beautiful fall foliage.

  • Visit a Museum, a great time to see new exhibitions.

  • Go out for Sunday Brunch.

  • Visit a Pumpkin Patch and enjoy making a pumpkin pie from your picks.

  • Reflect on the fall season, the importance of letting go, and how change can be embraced as a positive force for growth and renewal.

  • A self-care hot bath.


Thanks so much for being here and supporting this newsletter journey with me. Look out for our November candle-making workshop designed for up to 8 participants where you'll create signature candles while enjoying delightful breaks and meeting new people.


Until we meet again next month, May the sun's rays warm your spirit, May the autumn breeze carry your worries away, And may every candle's glow remind you to pause, breathe, and savor the beauty in every day.


love is the message............nidia
