One of our favourite retailers, Sunja (of Sunja Link Body Shoppe), included our ELIXER LUXE botanical facial oil in her recent recommendations list "Sunja Link details the best ways to face the winter months literally" on SCOUT.

We are all here together on this earth so why not show up for ourselves and take care of each other? This takes so many forms and can be as minute as a gentle gaze saying " I see you". This is love. Learning about the “self” part of love has been a deep and meaningful healing that continues.

Similar to a wine, the rain, the soil, all of these things contribute to the life of the fragrance.” Josée Gordon-Davis, founder of Reassembly

"Vancouver’s Reassembly stocks a dusty rose–hued sandalwood mask made with French pink and Moroccan rhassoul clay that comes as a powder packed into a little glass jar. Mix a pinch with water to form a paste—that’s your mask. Not only is the apothecary-style format darling, the product cleanses deeply. Unlike Charlotte Tilbury’s clay mask, which remains supple as long as it’s on the skin, this product dries up to satisfyingly clear out pores, and leaves your face feeling pleasantly perked-up." - NUVO magazine

A little while ago, reassembly had the opportunity to work with Jennifer Latour (photographer) and Redia Soltis (art direction) of 01 production agency.

It's easy in the winter months, almost anywhere, to become a little more introspective, even a little blue. There's nothing wrong with this - I believe it is important to embrace the darkness so that we can do the same when it comes time for light. But, there are times when feeling trapped in the dark cycle of winter can become challenging - low energy can keep us from doing what we love to do, which can perpetuate a cycle of low energy. We know eating properly, drinking enough water, exercising, connecting with our loved ones and being creative are all ways to elevate ourselves, but what of creating an atmosphere of joy in ourselves, our homes, other spaces we...

Staying hydrated in winter can be a daunting experience. I feel like the only way to warm up at the end of a long day at the studio is to get in a hot bath when I get home! If you're like me, you may have noticed that hot baths can result in even drier skin. Some tricks I've learnt in managing my dry and sometimes itchy winter skin may help you as well. For one, I always add some form of natural emollient to my bath - coconut oil is a nice one, or olive oil that you have in the kitchen cupboard even, lovely. Once out of the bath I pat down a little(not too much) and then...
