Schools are off & lots of lucky people are on holiday - meaning less traffic! Slower summer days have made us think about our morning rituals & how we can take time at the start of each day for moments of calm & relaxation. With a little bit of extra time during summer mornings we've thought about how simple daily rituals, inspired by the ethos behind some of our brands, including Hibi & Earl of East London, can bring extra calm to the day ahead - simple acts such as burning incense, which is encouraged daily by Hibi or lighting your favourite scented candle to evoke calming & cleansing scents from nature (Earl of East's Japanese inspired scents are perfect for this), whilst you enjoy your morning coffee can help to set you on the right path for the day!
