Some of us are diving headfirst into our best lives (or what we think are our best lives). Others among us are still recovering from the anxiety, exhaustion, and isolation of times not so long past.
You might not feel ready for the world yet. You might be gearing up. Maybe you're even on your way. Whatever stage you're at, here are some of our favorite guides to help you make positive changes in your life in 2023!
The Ultimate Guide to Japanese Skincare
What better way to start than with vibrant, acne-free, gorgeous skin. As we dive deeper into the heart of winter, skincare is more important than ever, right? If you’re not sure what a morning or an evening skincare routine looks like from the J-beauty side, this one is absolutely for you. Beyond routines, we’ve included some of our favorite products and must-know tips to make sure you’re getting the most out of your routine!
Ultimate Guide to Japanese Yoga
Is Japanese yoga just yoga in Japan?... It is not (but we all wondered the same thing so don’t feel bad). One of the big differences is that the poses are seasonal. In other words, your routine in winter will be very different to that of summer. Now, with that said - we know yoga has a bit of a reputation but don't knock it until you try it. In terms of quieting your mind, relieving stress, putting things into perspective, and balancing your mental health - Japanese yoga is definitely worth checking out.
Ultimate Guide to Winter Activities in Japan
Many of us are still trying to break free of living like Rapunzel - no more growing our hair and staying home. What better way to get back into the world than checking out some of the wonderful events (and foods) happening in the colder months. If you want to test your mettle against the cold, you can head up north to Hokkaido and check out the Sapporo Snow Festival!
