Weekend Rituals
The stress and pressure of living a busy urban lifestyle can take its toll on your overall health & wellbeing, which is why at SIA we place such importance on our restorative weekend rituals. The things we do to ensure that our weekends help set us up for a week of feeling content!
Spring-Clean Your Body Care Routine
Here at Saint Iris Adriatica, we’re embracing the cliches and indulging in a spring cleaning session but with a twist. Welcome to The SIA Guide To Spring-Cleaning Your Body Care Routine.
Happiness hormone
In the sundrenched Adriatic, serotonin’s natural high is a given. Here it’s called fjaka – that blissful state that comes from pleasing yourself that Dalmatians believe is an essential part of life. Fjaka is often compared to meditation – both are mood-boosters that leave you relaxed, yet energised.
Blue skies, bottled
Can a scent change your mind? When it conjures memories of blissful moments, fragrance is a powerful mood-booster, studies suggest.
Researchers in the US have found that spraying the scent you wore on holiday can help banish stress and worktime woes back home. It’s exactly this kind of blue-sky thinking that inspired the refreshing, uplifting citrus-marine scent that makes SIA such an indulgence.
On a grey and weary day a quick misting of Vitality Spritz with its wild flower infusion, Adriatic lemon peel and hand-harvested Dalmatian Flower of Salt will breeze you back into sun-and-sea serenity – and give your skin a refreshing drink, too. That’s why we call it a spa in a bottle!
You can investigate the Vitality Spritz here.
Ciao for now!
