A Love Letter to MAY 🌸
In May, I see the first butterflies in my neighborhood.
Founder Notes
There is something so comforting about May. It carries the energy of blooming while still being tender enough to be nurtured. It’s no coincidence that Mother’s Day lives in this month.
A reminder of how we pour into others and how we tend to ourselves.
With summer peeking around the corner, May often reignites our connection to beauty both inside and out. You may find yourself leaning into your wellness rituals a little more deeply, honoring your glow in more intentional ways.
As April came to a close, it left behind a sweet, vibrant charge. Fueling the short-term goals we planted with purpose. Now, May invites us to trust the process and take steady steps toward all that’s unfolding.
Personally, I’ve received new opportunities, clarity, and a fresh perspective on how I want to deepen my roots with Palace One Eleven. This year marks five years of operating, and that milestone brings with it a wave of change and celebration. Big shifts are coming and I can’t wait to share more soon.
P.S. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to every client who recognized the magnitude of this transition as we moved out of our storefront. Your support for my rest and pause has meant everything. This has been the longest break I’ve taken in five years, and your encouragement allowed space for real healing and restoration.
This month reminds us that we don’t have to try so hard. Our authenticity will open doors that overcompensating never could.
May is an invitation to fully step into your own energy.
Embrace your beauty and all the things that make you unique.

Overall Energy
May holds the energy of nourishment, confidence, and intentional bloom. It’s a month that encourages ease without losing momentum. Where April asked us to trust in the unseen, May invites us to see ourselves clearly—to stand firm in who we are becoming. There is softness here, but also quiet power. This is the time to root into what supports your peace and keep watering the visions that are starting to sprout.

Mind & Body
This season calls for care that’s both restorative and energizing. As the days grow longer and warmer, your body naturally begins to wake up, and so should your routines. Prioritize gentle movement that feels good: stretching, walking, dancing, or anything that brings you back into your body without pressure.
Hydration is key, especially now. Infuse your water with slices of seasonal fruits like cucumber, lemon, strawberries, or mint for an added refresh. Enjoy juicy, in-season produce like watermelon, cherries, and mango. These fruits not only taste great, they also support digestion and skin health.
It’s a great time to update your skincare routine. Focus on exfoliating away winter’s layers and welcoming glow-enhancing hydration. Lightweight oils, nourishing creams, and daily SPF go a long way.
Support this seasonal shift with crystals like Citrine for joy and motivation, Carnelian for vitality, and Clear Quartz to help clarify and amplify your energy. Keep them nearby during your morning routine or carry one with you throughout the day.
Make space for grounding routines that reconnect you to yourself. Stretch in the sunlight, walk barefoot on the grass, or take a few quiet breaths before bed to reflect with gratitude.
Beauty is blooming from within. Let this be your reminder to slow down, soften into your routines, and let your natural glow shine through.
