DO YOU INVEST IN YOURSELF?
HOW DO YOU PAY YOUR OWN SALARY?
“The Salts of Life” begs the question; how do you pay your own salary?
Diving into the origins of the word salary, you’ll find that historically roman legions were paid a “salarium” of salt instead of gold due to its high value. In that vein, what if we placed less value on chasing financial salaries, and spent more time on self-care rituals as a way of ‘paying’ our own metaphoric salary?
This editorial is a deep dive into the salt-based rituals that ground our everyday lives; to sweat, to season, and to scrub. Merely a gentle reminder to return to slow, intentional living every once in a while, or better still, ingrain a small ritual into your day-to-day.
“The Salts of Life” is a call to take a load off, fill your own cup, and remember that just as salt brings out the flavour in a dish, these rituals will bring out the best in you.
SWEAT SEASON
SCRUB
SWEAT
The day begins with sweat; a ritual to cleanse the body and clear the mind. Whether you’re in the gym, out for a run, or in the pool, sweat is crucial for balancing your salt stores in order to keep your body hydrated.
01 01
SEASON
Replenish your body by nourishing from within. Take the time to prepare a balanced meal, seasoned to perfection. Share it with friends, or enjoy the moment with yourself, a brief repose in the middle of the day.
02 02
SCRUB
Wind down after a long day. Take a salt scrub, laden with minerals, to exfoliate and cleanse your skin. Draw a bath, adding salt to absorb the dirt and toxins with its anti-inflammatory properties
