A Glimpse Inside: Willow and Sage Winter 2019

With the holiday season approaching quickly, treat yourself or a friend to the abundance of self-care recipes featured in our winter issue. With colorful and seasonal produce abounding, Willow and Sage makes it easy to naturally prepare your skin for the cold weather.

This issue will be available on newsstands from November to January, but today we’re giving you an exclusive look inside!

The Art of Candle Making

Candles provide the perfect excuse to slow down and get cozy indoors.

The makers of Willow and Sage want to introduce you to their special interest publication devoted to the art of candle making. The Candle Issue has everything you need to get your creative juices flowing.

This illuminating edition features over 20 candle recipes, the lowdown on the various types of waxes and wicks, tips to keep candles burning longer, creative ways to dress up your candle holders, and so much more!

An Adventure With Making Bath Bombs

As I was putting together the upcoming Winter 2019 Issue of Willow and Sage, I had the opportunity to experiment with making bath bombs. Bath bombs are hard-packed mixtures of dry ingredients and oils which effervesce when wet. They add scent, bubbles, or color to your bathwater. These fizzy products are all the rage, and I’ve been known to buy a couple and give them away as gifts. So, why not learn the ins and outs of making them at home where I could customize the recipe to each recipient?

Bringing Self-Care to the Workplace

For those of us who sit in an office or at a computer for over six hours a day, stretching and exercising often feels like an evasive task on the to-do list. It’s easy to start an assignment one minute and, the next time you look at the clock, a couple hours have disappeared. To combat this, I aim to take a stroll outside my office building every morning.
