MO+ Making The Holiday Season Just A Little More Beautiful
It would seem that the pressures of the holiday season are falling on our shoulders faster each year. Couple Christmas decorations that infiltrate our consciousness come late September with the great family debate around “who’s hosting” - it’s enough to have us dreaming of New Year’s Day when the chaos finally begins to subside. While we love the holiday season as much as the next - largely because it brings with it beautiful sunrises and long, balmy evenings - early January is when we can truly switch off, unwind and enjoy a little time out to ourselves before the hustle of 2020 kicks in.
However, let us stop right there… we are getting way ahead of ourselves. If you’re only just starting to think about gift-giving, we’re here to remove one added pressure. This year MO+ have curated products that represent our brand and the clinic philosophy to ensure you’re not “checking that list” twice come Christmas eve. The brands we have selected for the space are centred on wellness, with a strong focus on Australian business - those that drive our local and thriving community forward.
LOVE TEA, $15
Organic, fair trade and delicious. Do we need another reason to consume something so good for us? Oh wait, there it is. Love Tea is good for us! Founded by Melbourne locals, Emma Watson & Damien Amos, Love Tea is built on the premise of “beautiful products that were beneficial for a customer’s health and promote wellbeing” - we knew we loved these guys for a reason! MO+ will be offering five of the brands signature blends to align with all those things we think are imperative this time of the year: Calming, Sleep, Immunity, Detox & Skin Glow. Pick-up a bag for each of your work colleagues… but don’t forget yourself. Post a Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture session, a quiet cup of Skin Glow might just be the perfect way to sign out an already luxurious afternoon.
THESEEKE, from $39.95-$59.95
With what can only be described as a global wave of appreciation for good skincare, we haven’t had to look any further than our own backyard for products that not only work, but make skincare look so damn beautiful while they do it. Sydney locals, Theseeke has been part of the MO+ family for a year now, with our practitioners working the brands key oils into facial and body treatments. We think these oils make the perfect partner to our Remedial Facial Sculpting - a powerful combination of efficacious and totally luxurious. For the indulgent skincare lover in your life, introduce them to Theseeke via MO+. Plant-based, organic oils to restore balance and calm? We don’t think your gift receiver will put up much of a fight.
WITH GOOD INTENTIONS SMUDGE WAND, $35
Clear your space, give thanks, welcome new beginnings and show yourself as little L.O.V.E, love! While the smudge stick forever finds itself pigeon-holed to “clearing haunted house” vibes, we can tell you these beautifully crafted, handmade smudge wands offer so much more than that. Locally made, the With Good Intentions Smudge Wand’s each hold different meanings, depending on the herbs, flowers and plants that make up their composition. Indeed, amongst the Five Intentions, there is one to Clear Your Space, but there are wands to create an energy of gratitude, of fertility and new beginnings, of abundance and prosperity and self-worth and respect. While some gift receivers may, at first, seem somewhat perplexed with this out of the box gift idea, we can assure you they will be hooked with the powerful scent, energy and meditative nature of this new found ritual in their home or office.
MO+ EPSOM SALTS, $10
Tell us one thing more relaxing than sinking into a warm bath at the end of a long day on your feet? The answer to that: Sinking into a warm bath infused with MO+ Epsom Salts at the end of a long day on your feet. Epsom Salts are known for their healing properties - particularly when it comes to muscular pain and injury. Over the holiday season, MO+ will offer a limited number of our Epsom Salts infused with calendula - a flower known to relax the senses, as well as assisting in pain and swellings. Pure relaxation of the mind and body? Tick! Pair this with your favourite remedial massage treatment and we think you will be settling into holiday mode quicker than you thought possible.
ROSE QUARTZ CRYSTAL (RAW), $55
Not only a beautifully decorative piece for the window-sill, or the perfect paper weight, the Rose Quartz Crystal is far more powerful than just its physical traits. While this pale pink crystal looks absolutely beautiful in the home, it is the purification of the heart - bringing about love, self-love and deep feelings of inner peace - that make it such a powerful addition to ones space. Clearing the way for love, the Rose Quartz Crystal in its raw format is rugged around the edges, but pure and healing at its core. Treat someone you love to this special crystal. You won’t need to explain the purpose behind it - they will feel it!
ROSE QUARTZ CRYSTAL FACETED, FROM $60
Want clean lines with your crystal? The faceted Rose Quartz Crystal still maintains all the powerful properties associated with the raw rose quartz, however, this elegant crystal will have you falling hopelessly head-over-heels with its sleek lines and shape. Smaller in size, keep this one close to promote self-care and self love wherever you go!
SMOKY QUARTZ CRYSTAL FACETED, FROM $45
One of the most grounding and cleansing crystals, the Smoky Quartz Crystal is about creating balance. If you find yourself drawn to one of these beautiful stones - either for yourself or for someone special in your life - it is a sign that now is the time to let in the light and positivity. With the new year right around the corner, keep this crystal close and charge it with an intention that you are envisioning for the future.
ROSE QUARTZ FACE ROLLER, $49.95
Are you a total skincare addict? Or know someone who is? A face roller in beautiful rose quartz is the only way to level up your at-home skincare routine. Not only does the face roller work to promote lymphatic drainage throughout key points on the face, the repetitive action will help soothe you into an almost meditative state. Beyond this, the face roller is all about assisting your serums and oils to work more closely and in harmony with your natural skin composition. Pick up a face roller post your Intuitive Guided Massage to have the face and body taken very good care of!
ROSE QUARTZ GUA SHA, 1 SHAPE FOR $30, OR 3 FOR $65
An ancient Chinese tool, the gua sha has – for centuries – been used to de-puff and detoxify skin through its stimulation of the lymphatic drainage system. Our in-house MO+ expert, Emiko Terui, explains it like this “… gua sha is the process of scraping the skin with a massage tool, working to improve the overall circulatory system in your face and body. This technique is used to increase blood flow, enabling the healing process and ridding the muscles and soft tissue of inflammation.”. If soft, supple skin free of puffiness is exactly what you’re after – or perhaps you know someone who is – one of our three gua sha shapes – H, V or feather – will prove the perfect partner in beauty and crime to a skincare oil or serum.
LUMIRA CANDLES, $70
Let the art of scent transport you! Infiltrating our MO+ space is the beautiful scents of Sydney-based home fragrance brand, LUMIRA. Created by Almira Armstrong, these seductive, transportive scents are exactly what is needed post a long year of work, deadlines and 2020 budget discussions. Inspired by places near and far, LUMIRA candles will have you planning your next holiday, or comfortably transporting you to a tropical destination from the comfort of your own home.
