While self-care sometimes gets a lot of hype, it’s for a good reason: it’s vital to your overall sense of well-being. There are endless ways to bring self-care into your life. From bubble baths to exercise, journaling or trying something new, selfcare is anything that lets you focus on feeling good. Even the smallest shifts in your routine can change how you feel. It may not come easy; prioritizing your own wellness can be difficult, especially when you are used to spending that energy on others. Visit a spa to prioritize time for yourself with an Éminence treatment. Your wellness is important! Plus, caring for yourself means that you can be present for others.

The Future of Farming: Why We’ve Always Believed in
Regenerative Agriculture
In the world of farming, traditional, regenerative techniques are making a major resurgence. And the Éminence Certified Organic Farm is a model example of this eco-friendly movement.
Regenerative Farming No tilling Maintains weed cover Compost fortifies soil Incorporates natural and organic fertilizers Uses crop rotation Champions biodiversity
5 | The Self Care Issue
Conventional Farming Frequent tilling Removes weeds Rarely includes compost Relies on synthetic pesticides and fertilizers Uses monoculture or polyculture Focuses on high-crop yield
What Is Regenerative Agriculture?
A
direct answer to the harm caused by conventional farming techniques, regenerative farming focuses on preserving and rehabilitating ecosystems. Each time a farmer sows a seed, fertilizes their soil or waters their crops, there’s an opportunity to introduce a sustainable practice to their farm. Since its inception, the Éminence Certified Organic Farm has embraced regenerative farming techniques. We’re proud that we can preserve and heal our land to create a lush landscape teeming with biodiversity!
Regenerative Farming Techniques We Love COMPOSTING An all-natural way to fertilize! We let our organic waste break down into nutritious compost that can be added back to soil.
WINTER WEED COVER Weeds aren’t all bad! Winter weed cover provides nutrients for spring crops and helps soil retain water.
FALLOW FIELDS After every CROP ROTATION Each season, we replace our harvest with an entirely different type of crop. This ensures crops do not overuse nutrients from the soil’s different layers over time.
Regenerative Farming Benefits Though it’s been a hot topic lately, regenerative farming has existed for generations. In the past, farmers tended their land using their intuition; they naturally gravitated towards methods that respected the earth. However, this practice fell out of favor with the arrival of the industrial revolution, which brought modernization to farms; unfortunately, it also brought environmental degradation. Now that we’ve seen these adverse effects, regenerative farming is back and it’s more important than ever.

No tilling + lots of nutrients = happy soil! Regenerative farming focuses on adding nutrients and giving land adequate time to rest. Together, these techniques have combatted soil degradation on the Éminence Certified Organic Farm, leading to more nutrient-dense crops.
Regenerative farming acknowledges how vital water is and, as such, uses it efficiently. The regenerative methods we use on our farm reduce the amount of water used on crops, help soil retain water and limit the amount of harmful runoff ecosystems are exposed to.

MASTER YOUR
Self Care Game WITH THESE PROVEN WELLNESS PRACTICES
Feeling on edge? You’re not alone. Studies by the World Health Organization report that the number of people coping with stress has risen by 25% over the last four years. Soothe your spirit through a self-care routine. Self-care can be anything that resonates with you, but to get you started, we’ve listed some of our favorite ways to care for the mind, skin and spirit!
Practice Mindfulness Mindfulness asks that you reflect on your thoughts and feelings without judgment. Mindful activities like meditation, yoga or journaling boost relaxation while improving clarity and focus. Additionally, reaching out to a mental health professional can provide much-needed support.
Rest Up Poor sleep habits can catch up with you! Prioritize sleep to boost your mood, memory and cognition. Shut off electronics an hour before bed, skip your afternoon caffeine fix and invest in black-out curtains. We also love applying a sleep-friendly treatment, like the Kombucha Microbiome Leave-On Masque, to support the skin’s moisture barrier as you sleep.
60–90 minutes
FUN FACT Sleeping 60–90 minutes more per night can make you happier and healthier! 11 | The Self Care Issue
TOP TIP Short on time? Spritz on the Mangosteen Revitalizing Mist for an instant refresh!
Treat Yourself Show yourself some love with a spa day! Relaxing treatments can improve dopamine and serotonin levels to increase feelings of happiness. Plus, you can extend the spa results through home care, including facials with potent, organic skin care, a body scrub or a DIY massage.
You won’t know how big of a difference journaling can make until you try it. It’s a great way to organize my thoughts and feelings each day.” – GURLEEN BATTU, PEOPLE & CULTURE, ÉMINENCE ORGANICS
Get Moving
{
TRY SOMETHING NEW Check something off your bucket list! Sound baths (an experience where you “bathe” in sound and vibrations), forest bathing (the act of immersing yourself in nature) and breathwork (a practice that controls breath) can ward off anxiety and tension. Not your cup of tea? Get in touch with your inner artist by painting, writing or working on a DIY project to find joy and get the creative juices flowing.

I love channeling my energy into clay in a pottery class. It’s a way to express and release my emotions.” – KATELYN MACRAE, MARKETING & COMMUNICATIONS, ÉMINENCE ORGANICS

Reap these feel-good benefits by hitting the gym, taking a kickboxing class or going for a long walk with a friend (or with your favorite podcast playing) — just make sure to drink plenty of water and apply an SPF, like our Radiant Protection SPF Fluid, before you head outdoors!
Prioritize Quality Time It’s essential to make time for loved ones. Studies show that people who spend more time with friends and family report higher levels of happiness, satisfaction and motivation. And good news for animal lovers: pets count too!

How Éminence Organics' Forests for the Future™ Initiative Is Healing the Planet We have a profound love for nature. As such, we’re determined to do everything possible to make the world a greener place! Éminence Organics plants a tree for every product sold; we’ve planted over 24 million trees to date. However, we know that there are so many other ways we can help heal the earth. This is why we’ve championed a unique project to bring accessible water to Tanzania’s Singida region.
Where We’re Making a Difference: Singida, Tanzania Tanzania is known for Mount Kilimanjaro, the beaches of Zanzibar and the plains of the Serengeti. But amid the country’s vast natural beauty, farmers in the Singida region face a growing problem: a lack of water. Due to extreme drought, water access is severely limited, affecting crop quality and hindering farmers’ ability to earn a living wage. To combat this, Éminence Organics and Forests for the Future™ funded an award-winning project through our partnership with the non-profit organization Trees for the Future. This project oversees the installation of large-scale water catchment systems in the region. These much-needed systems collect and store rainwater, helping to: Enable 1,700 farmers to water crops year-round, increasing yield and incomes for their families.
Empower farmers to install their own water catchment systems.
Provide tools to support ongoing training for farmers on water catchment use and maintenance.
Decrease the cost of transporting water from remote sources to farms.
13 | The Self Care Issue
The Public Relations team is proud to lead Éminence Organics’ philanthropic efforts,”
Water catchment systems allow farming families, like this one, to gain access to a dependable water source.
Media & Community Relations Manager Joyce Chiang shares. The Forests for the Future™ project, dedicated to providing safe and accessible water in Tanzania, recently won the ISPA Innovate Award for Philanthropy. Beaming, Joyce says, “we’re honored to be recognized by our peers in the spa industry for this project — it’s a joy to witness how we can make a difference in the world!”
In 2022 alone, we made an enormous impact through projects in Senegal, Tanzania and Kenya. Together, we’ve helped: Train 1,849 farmers Improve the lives of 16,291 people in farming communities Plant 2,896,170 trees
