Morning without tasks

"A day that begins with oil"

The morning when you don't need anything is the most useful. Not because you're resting. But because no one inside is pushing you.

I like to start these days with oil. Just a little bit, just a drop. On my neck. On my wrists. Sometimes on my sternum. It doesn't make my skin better in a second. It makes contact.

My morning oil is warm. Light. No "intense actives". Contains only:

• grape seed oil

• a couple of drops of lime or laurel essential oil

• and a little geranium - to remind you that everything is okay

While the tea is brewing, I apply oil. Slowly. Without a mirror. Sometimes on dry elbows.

Sometimes just to feel that I exist.

This morning doesn't start with goals. It starts with touch. And then comes the to-do list. If you need one.

Morning Oil Formula

For 30 ml:

• Grape seed oil - 25 ml

• Jojoba oil – 5 ml

• Lime essential oil - 2 drops

• Geranium (or laurel) essential oil - 1 drop

• (optional) CO₂-extract of immortelle - 1 drop Mix, store in glass. Use intuitively.

I keep it by the window. So that the morning light hits the glass. Because at such moments, oil is not cosmetics. But a way to say to yourself:

“I woke up. And I don’t have to do – I can just be.”
