Ringing in January with Intention, Wellness, Health, and Love

Beginning a new year is always full with promise, resolutions freshly cultivated, and long days are carefully spent setting your intentions. When we scouted our Hill Country communities out for January 2020, we kept wellness, health, and love at the top of our minds. Whether that included signing ourselves up for the RE:BOOT Wellness Women's Weekend at Hoffman Haus with The Fernweh Studio or simply by curling up on a new couch from Home Simple Goods + Design and lighting that wonderfully aromatic candle you've been saving from Blackchalk Home and Laundry; each step connected us back to our wellbeing. It can be as easy as replicating your favorite Roasted Beet Salad from Otto’s German Bistro (click here for our favorite recipe!), treating yourself to a treasure map of a cookbook: Dining in By Alison Roman at The Mercantile at Mill and Grain to discover inventive combination of meals, or detoxing your way through the month with Kelani Yogurts’ Detox green juice. However you choose to spend your month, do it with care for yourself and for your community. Happy 2020 from The Scout Guide Hill Country!

Los políticos no están para prometer la felicidad pero sí para establecer las mejores condiciones posibles para que cada uno de los ciudadanos la encuentre. La felicidad no reside en la ausencia de dolor -estar tumbado mano sobre mano día tras día- sino en la actividad productiva satisfactoria, y cada persona tendrá una manera distinta de realizarse a través de una ocupación u otra. El documental Free Lunch Society termina con una breve escena de Star Treck en la que unos humanos le preguntan al capitán Jean-Luc Picard qué hacer en un mundo con todas las necesidades materiales cubiertas. Dónde está el reto, preguntan, desorientados. -El reto, Sr. Hoffmanhaus, es mejorarse a uno mismo, crecer -responde Picard-.

La renta básica y la prueba de la felicidad

Hill Country Loves of the New Year

Happy New Year TSG Hill Country! With the start of the new year, we are preparing for the usual personal goal setting and self improvement resolutions. We are committed to being our best self this year and we think you should too. What we have realized, is it comes full circle. From what we put in our bodies to the interior we surround ourselves in, everything has meaning in our day to day life. This year we intend to eat healthy, like this yummy field green salad from Badu 1891 however, still make time to indulge in a delicious meal, with our friends and family gathered around, from this recipe book, Sunday Suppers by Cynthia Graubert found at Laurie Saunders in Boerne. We also intend to self-indulge for a less stressful year which can be as simple as lighting our favorite candle, like this Nest Candle found at SG Home, and relaxing in sea bath filled with bathing salts. Don't forget about your San Saba heirloom facial tea from Hoffman Haus to fully embrace relaxation! We also found that having our home bring us joy is the best and simplest way to self indulge and de-stress. So invest in your favorite artist or buy that cashmere throw you have been eyeing all winter. Engaging in joy is the best resolution you can give yourself! What resolutions are you committing to this year? We can’t wait to see what 2019 brings to us!

September Loves

As September approaches, seasons start to change, and we are embracing all of our nesting needs to prepare for the fall weather. We love the idea of sprucing up our home with some new decor or taking some time out of our busy days to journal. We also scouted out the most charming bed and breakfasts where we plan to spend at least a weekend this fall, indulging in full self care. With summer over and the holidays in our radar, now is the time to reset our intentions and fully enjoy the remainder of 2018. We are looking forward for whats to come this fall season!
