From Chalkboard to Moodboard, Breathing Life into Sōl

Mornings set the tone for the day, and for me, the first hour is sacred. I begin in silence, with a warm cup of herbal infusion to awaken my body gently. Skincare follows—not as a routine, but as a ritual of gratitude. Each product is applied with intention, massaged in slowly, reminding me to honor the skin I live in. Then I write a single affirmation, one sentence that aligns my energy for the day ahead. In this article, I share my personal ritual in detail—not as a template to copy, but as inspiration to craft your own. The first hour belongs to you. When it is treated with care, the rest of the day flows in harmony.
