Hello and Happy Tuesday!

Days are getting longer and brighter, and we’re making the most of winter here in Whitefish! We’ve had some fantastic days on the ski hill, and made some epic sled hills in our own yards. It may be freezing cold, but we’re staying warm with lots of hot cocoa and bone broth, easy homemade soups (Colette’s making this one tonight). We’ve also got our humidifiers dialed way up both day and night–there’s a Canopy Travel humidifier next to me now.

If the sunshine has got you feeling more motivated than January 1 did, you’re not alone. We’re incorporating some of our wellness practices back into our routines, like consistently wearing our red light face masks for 20 minutes, and re-committing to that weekly pilates class. One topic that’s come up over and over again in the last month is Bryan Johnson’s documentary: Don’t Die. If you’re not familiar with Johnson, we’re breaking down his anti-aging philosophy as well as realistic ways that we can incorporate some of these strategies into our own self-care routines. While he’s certainly an extremist (and let’s be honest… we’re not) his quest is pretty interesting, and there’s a lot that we can learn from his routine and self-experimentation. Read on here!

One of the things that’s notably missing from Johnson’s routine is social connection. At Haskill Creek we believe that community & connection are a BIG part of self-care. We were excited to host our second Haskill Creek Book Club gathering last week, and we’re currently deciding on book #3. If you’re interested in joining us, click here.

If you’re looking to learn something new, and you’re free tomorrow evening, you might be interested in joining just for the Galentine’s Flower Arrangement workshop we’re hosting with Forage & Floral. Grab a friend and come enjoy a fun night learning how to craft a beautiful arrangement, enjoy some drinks, and go home with a new centerpiece! Also, our friends at The Farmhouse are also hosting a Galentine’s event, the following evening on February 13–should be super fun, grab your tickets here.

Speaking of Valentine’s… if you’re still looking for a gift for your significant other, bestie, sister, mom, kids… you name it… we’ve got you covered! Whether you’re looking to spice things up after the kids go to sleep, twin with your mini, OR spoil yourself (sign us up!) check out our gift guide here.

Finally, we’re back at it with more ingredient de-mystification this week. This time, we’re tackling dimethicone–a product that’s both loved and debated. Get the lowdown on it’s benefits and potential drawbacks here.

We hope to see you in the store soon!
