Winter Solstice is fast approaching and we’re trying our best to slow our pace to match the season. Please enjoy this re-release of our 6th episode where we get into all things winter solstice and the magic of the mundane….

Episode 6. In honor of the upcoming winter solstice (our favorite holiday over here!) we’re talking rituals. Small day to day rituals and big over the top once a year rituals, along with finding the magic in both the mundane and the magnificent.

We’re all being bombarded by sales and the push to buy buy buy from the big box stores, but what if instead you turned to the thrift shop? What if you could relish in the thrill of the hunt, letting your fingers graze against different fabrics. Let your gut guide you through the store until you found the magic lamp tucked away in the corner waiting for a new life?

Join Savanna and Sue Ellen as they reflect on the thrill and shame of the purchase. Maybe you’ll be inspired to take a pause and ask yourself what you’re really trying to buy before clicking check out on Amazon this cyber Monday.
