Take the opportunity to engage in some empowering rituals and make the most of this rare moment.
- Release those things that no longer serve you. You might like to write these down and burn them, close your eyes and let them go with a long breath out, or burn palo santo and move it around your body.
- Notice which things are bringing you the most happiness and make plans to do more of them.

- Step outside, sip your favourite drink, and listen to your favourite song in the light of the moon.
- Invite friends over to share these rituals and do the activities you love the most – full moon is the new Friday.

We love having this balm on hand for a soothing self-care ritual, and the full moon is the perfect moment.
