Wellness has been difficult to maintain in 2020, to say the least. With the rise of COVID-19, raging wildfires, the election, and regional lockdowns, our focus seemed to shift from wellness to mere survival. We redirected our focus from skincare to sanitation, working out to working from home, and from zen to Zoom. In the midst of all of this, our mental and physical wellness was left in disarray. 

2021 is an opportunity to reclaim our physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing as we identify new ways to take care of ourselves and those around us. Here are a few of our favorite wellness trends for the new year:

Like most things in 2020, the holidays are a bit different than usual. Whether you are digitally celebrating with family over Zoom or navigating Covid-era Christmas shopping, this season will likely have more stressors than usual. 

With the holidays right around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about holiday shopping! We have teamed up with Main Street Oceanside and their Shop Local program for this very unique holiday season. 

Shop Local Oceanside is a partnership between Main Street Oceanside and City of Oceanside Economic Development to safely support our Downtown Oceanside businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic. The program will run from Friday, November 20 to Sunday, December 20, 2020, and encourages the local community to shop at local businesses in store and online. There will be a digital coupon book, in-store socially distanced shopping events, social media contests and a holiday window decorating contest. Be sure to follow us on Instagram to stay up-to-date with our offers and events!

Today, November 11,  marks our one year anniversary of being in business. Last November, we had no idea what the next 12 months would bring. We knew it would have its challenges, but we certainly were not expecting a global pandemic, 9 month lockdown, or national toilet paper shortage. 

But despite everything that has happened, we are ultimately so grateful for and proud of our first year in business. We have achieved successful milestones, developed new partnerships, grew our inventory with great new products, engaged in our community, and continue to make an impact through charitable donations and fundraising. Here is a deeper look into everything Flourish + Live Well has accomplished in our first year:

Now that the days are getting shorter and a pandemic and election still in our midst, it's easy to feel overwhelmed and worn out during the day. However, we have learned to never underestimate the power of stretching our bodies to relieve anxiety and stress.
