The Summer Sunday Reset

Embrace the art of slow living and find time in your schedule to press pause. From step-by-step wind-down routines to delicious recipes, invest in a little TLC for a brighter, healthier and happier you. 

Rest & recharge


Carve out space for leisurely lie-ins, restorative bathing rituals and self-care skincare. Moments of me-time are always worthwhile and will have you feeling like a new person.


1. First things first, treat yourself to your favourite hot beverage, plus plenty of water.


2. Then set the scene with a scented candle to transport the senses.

3. Next, run yourself a bath, pouring in our luxurious Olverum Oil while the faucets are still running. With therapeutic properties, it promises a truly meditative and uplifting experience.


4. When the water is just right, hop in and add our bath salts. And, don’t forget a body brush for gentle exfoliation.


5. After a soothing soak, apply our soufflé-feel polish to skin to nourish, tighten and brighten for a naturally glowing appearance.


6. Finish with a little extra TLC in the form of a cloud-like towel to cocoon yourself in comfort. Pure bliss

Revive & re-energize


The restorative power of nature is no secret, so make the most of the summer weather and head outdoors. Enjoy your morning coffee with a side of sunshine and bring a notebook with you to set your intentions for the week ahead. A little bit of planning goes a long way when it comes to reducing stress and creating a sense of order.


With your goals set, find inspiration in your surroundings. All you need is a straw hat and a roomy tote – and you’re on your way. From a countryside stroll to a lazy picnic, revel in all that Vitamin D and fresh air. 

Clear & declutter


While Sunday is a day of rest, it’s also a good time to take stock, tidy up and start Monday anew. Although organization isn’t everyone’s idea of fun, starting the week clutter-free at home will leave you feeling revitalized and focused. Clear space, clear mind. We promise it’s worth it...


Fling the windows and doors wide open and put on your go-to playlist to make the task all that more enjoyable. Elevating daily rituals is what it’s all about.


1. Take things up a notch in the pantry and replace conventional food containers with glass jars. Pretty yet practical, it will be easier to find food, saves time rummaging and is more sustainable.


2. Upgrade closets and laundry rooms with beautiful woven baskets. Categorize by clothing type or colour for effortless outfitting.


3. Arrange your jewellery collection, nightstand and vanity with the help of timeless trays and decorative bowls. That way, everything is within reach, but looks nice, too. 

Nourish & enjoy


And last, but not least, feed the soul – from a morning smoothie to a wholesome comfort meal. The farmers’ market is always a fun Sunday activity and gives you the opportunity to sample all the seasonal fruit and vegetables on offer. Supporting local will also add to that feel-good factor.
