💛 Saltastic Soft Reset — A Purposeful Pause

**What if you left some time unplanned on purpose?**

After a couple of years of major life events and changes, I knew I needed room to catch my breath and consider what was to come next. Before 2025 began, I planned what I called a *purposeful pause*—January through March, which I eventually extended into April.

During that time, I chose to hold off on major decisions and leave space in my calendar. I took a few courses that interested me, rested, nourished myself, and allowed time to reflect without needing an answer right away.

One of the things I’m still learning is how to leave that space open without immediately finding something to fill it.

A purposeful pause can also be much smaller. An afternoon. An evening. A little time when you can ask, “What do I need today?” and give yourself room to listen.

This Sunday, could you leave a little time unclaimed?

You don’t have to decide ahead of time how to use it. You can simply arrive and see how you feel.

💛 **Time you don’t have to fill.**

One of the things I love most about Saturdays at Saltastic is our informal, not-at-all-organized book club. 📚💛

No assigned book, no agenda—just the ladies who regularly join us, bringing their own books and reading quietly together during a salt session, with a little book chat with me after the fact.

As an avid reader, seeing real books in people’s hands and hearing them share what they’re reading warms my heart. Such a simple joy.

What book is bringing you joy right now? I’d love to hear. 📖

A reminder of our Salt package sale still on until end of day today!

Cold and flu season is making its presence known, and seasonal allergies are stirring, too. It’s a timely reminder to pause, pay attention to how you’re feeling, and make space for a little extra care. 💛

Do you remember this photo from last winter?

I have so many beautiful journals. As you can see, collecting them has never been the hard part. Actually journaling in them? That’s been a different story. 😄

Bona has always been one of my biggest cheerleaders. Whenever I’ve struggled or stopped, she’s been there with encouragement, tips, and another way to try. I’ve joined her journaling sessions, and I always leave feeling supported.

I’m still not someone who journals every day. But thanks in part to Bona, I’ve learned that I can journal in ways that work for me.

If you’ve wanted to journal but aren’t sure where to start—or you’d love a little encouragement along the way—come join Bona Normandeau for **Journalling for Joy & Resilience** at Saltastic.

🗓 **Saturday, October 10 at 3 PM**
⏱ **90 minutes**
💛 **$30**

Call, message, or email us to save your spot. Your journal doesn’t need a perfect streak. It just needs you, whenever you’re ready to open it.

Saltastic is heading out to two local markets this October! 🍂

Come say hello at the Sugar Bones Farm Autumn Market & Psychic Fair on Saturday, October 17, then find me at the Psychic, Wellness & Halloween Market in Kemptville on Saturday, October 24. Both run from 10 am to 4 pm and look to be full of fun for the entire family.

I’ll be bringing some Saltastic favourites, including bean-to-bar chocolate and drinking cacao. At the Kemptville market, I’ll also be giving a free talk about why chocolate has a place in my wellness practice—and why I brought it into the salt room.

I’d love to see you at either one. Come browse, have a chat, and enjoy a little autumn market magic! 🍫✨

SUNDAY SOFT RESET

Make something without needing to be good at it.

Creativity doesn’t have to become a performance, a product, a side hustle, or proof of your talent.

It can simply be colour.
Curiosity.
A few quiet moments spent making something with your hands.

You don’t need to show anyone.
You don’t need to finish it.
You don’t even need to like what you create.

Sometimes the simple joy of creating is reason enough.

What would you make if it didn’t have to be good?

Breathe. Relax. Release. Renew. 💛

We so enjoyed watching Genna of Holy Creams in action last night! 💛

Our tallow information session in the salt room was filled with learning, laughter, thoughtful questions, and plenty of opportunities to see, smell, and try the different products.

Genna shared what tallow is, why she chose to use it in her skincare products, and how it can help nourish and moisturize the skin. Her knowledge, passion, and enthusiasm were wonderful to experience.

A heartfelt thank-you to Genna for sharing so generously with us—and to everyone who joined us and made the evening so engaging.

If you weren’t able to attend but are curious about tallow skincare, we carry a selection of Holy Creams products at Saltastic. Stop in, explore the collection, and ask us your questions! 🐄✨

Holy Creams

What does chocolate have to do with wellness—and why would you find chocolate in a salt room? 🍫🧂

I’ve been asked these questions many times, and four weeks from today, I’ll be sharing the answers.

Chocolate can be so much more than a sweet treat. When we choose thoughtfully made bean-to-bar chocolate or prepare a warm cup of cacao, it can become an invitation to slow down, engage our senses, and be fully present with what we’re enjoying.

That is why chocolate found a home at Saltastic.

As a Certified Chocolate Taster and Certified Cacao Facilitator, I’ll be offering a free 20-minute presentation exploring how good chocolate and cacao can become part of a mindful wellness routine—and how savouring chocolate with intention can transform the experience.

Yes there will be sampling. 😉🍫

Have you tried the new soap from Jovery Naturals?

This beautiful purple Himalayan Salt Soap has become quite the curiosity in the store—and with its unexpected blend of earthy patchouli and refreshing spearmint, it has quickly become a favourite.

The next time you’re at Saltastic, stop by, pick it up (or some of its friends) and give it a smell. You may discover a new favourite of your own. 💜
