In a world that seems to always be on the go, this day serves as a welcomed reminder of the significance of relaxation. In the hustle and bustle of our busy lives, taking a moment to pause, breathe, and unwind is crucial for our overall well-being. Explore these compelling top reasons to embrace relaxation.


At Hopeberry Soap, we believe in celebrating this day by encouraging you to "Think Outside The Bottle" when it comes to sustainable living. Our mission is to help you connect with a sense of calm and mindfulness while staying eco-conscious. We've curated some simple yet effective sustainable relaxation resources that you can easily incorporate into your routine, allowing you to reconnect with your peace of mind.


Embrace Stillness and Creativity


One of the simplest ways to dive into relaxation is by dedicating a few minutes of your day to practice stillness or mindful breathing. By being present in the moment and connecting with your breath, you can cultivate a sense of calm that extends beyond the immediate experience. Engaging in creative activities like baking or preparing a beautiful vegetarian dinner can also be a meditative process. The act of creating in the kitchen can bring about a tranquil state of mind when done leisurely and intentionally.

Nature's Embrace


Nature has a remarkable way of soothing the soul. Take a walk in the midst of nature's beauty and allow the greenery to work its magic on your senses. In Toronto, we are privileged to have an abundance of green spaces such as High Park, Bluffs Park, Rouge National Urban Park, Riverdale Park, and many more. These serene locations offer a perfect escape from the urban hustle, and many are easily accessible by public transit.

Pure+Simple, with its multiple locations in Toronto, offers natural and organic products that complement your healthy and sustainable lifestyle. Another excellent option is Sweetgrass Spa on Queen Street, which specializes in Tata Harper natural spa treatments, ensuring that no harmful chemicals touch your body.

Pampering Yourself at Home

Sometimes, relaxation is found in the simplest pleasures. Exploring your neighbourhood or even your own home can reveal delightful experiences that offer a deep sense of retreat. Discover charming markets and eateries like The Ellery on Danforth East or Avling, a sustainable brewpub with a dedication to locally farmed delights and scrumptious flavours. Avling's commitment to sustainability, helmed by founder Max Meighen and head chef Suzanne Barr, showcases how conscious choices can enhance our experiences.
