Happy Halloween 🕯️

It’s one of those cool, rainy days that feels made for slowing down. The world outside can do what it does… in here, it’s candles, soft music and a little extra time with the things that make you feel human again.

Let the steam rise, the skin soak, the tension melt. You don’t have to chase the magic tonight — it’s already here in the stillness, waiting for you to notice.

And consider this a gentle reminder as we head into the holiday season… make time for yourself. The calm, the care, the pause — it all matters.

a reflection for the season 🍂

As the seasons shift, so does the way we tend to ourselves —

and to each other.
This week, we’re turning the spotlight toward one of our own,
Laura LaStrand, one of our deeply intuitive massage therapists here at Nickel City.

Laura brings a kind of presence that reminds you that healing isn’t rushed...
it’s remembered. Her work blends body awareness, compassion,
and connection in a way that feels like exhaling for the first time in a while.

She’s sharing something special today, a personal reflection on transition, remembrance, and a passion project that speaks to her belief in cyclical, sustainable care.

Here’s Laura, in her own words:

"By the Season" Products
are available in the boutique.

Laura has a way of holding space that reminds you to slow down — to notice what your body’s been asking for, and to actually answer it.

If you’ve been feeling the call to reconnect — to unwind, release, and return to yourself — we’d love to invite you to book a massage with Laura this season.
Each session is crafted with the kind of intuitive care that meets you right where you are.

✨ Now booking for November + December

Your body already knows what it needs.
Let this be your moment to listen...

You don’t need to earn care.
You just schedule it.

Lately, my skin’s been showing me everything I’ve been feeling — stressed, tired, and a little off.
It’s looking lackluster, dehydrated… and honestly, I can see my discomfort showing up in the mirror.

Between the hip pain and exhaustion, my body’s been asking me to slow down…
and thanks to some real conversations with the team here, I’m realizing it’s time to walk my own talk — to give my skin (and myself) the same care I tell everyone else to make time for.

So this week, I’m taking it back.
Back to my facial bed.
Back to the rituals that remind me
I’m allowed to feel good.

If your skin’s been telling on you too —
dull, tight, stressed out —
this is your sign.

✨ Book the facial that
brings your glow (and your calm) back
✨ Let hydration, touch, and
time soften what’s been heavy

Overdue care ≠ a badge of honor.
You deserve to feel better now,
not when you’ve “caught up.”

Your skin. Your peace. Your turn

Quick check-in before Monday rolls in…

How are you feeling?
Not the to-do list...
Not the expectations....
Just you.

Here’s a little truth for the week ahead:
Sometimes the boldest thing we can do
is take up space on our own schedule.

Not when the stars align.
Not when you’ve “earned it.”
Not when things calm down.

Now.

This week, we’re going Bigger on Purpose...
because caring for yourself isn’t extra… it’s necessity.

✨ Book the facial you keep thinking about.
✨ Schedule the massage that melts the
stress off your shoulders.
✨ Give your skin the support it’s been
quietly asking for…
with the Glow Getter Serum Set...
Nickel City's Mini Serum Collection of
Boost, Blue + Quench

Your skin. Your peace. Your turn.

If you’re waiting for someone to say you’re ready —
this is me saying it. You are.

Let’s start the week grounded, supported,
and already glowing.

Here’s the secret no one
tells you about glowing skin:

✨ Progress is built from imperfect action.

Not the perfect routine.
Not the flawless habits.
Not starting “next Monday.”

It’s built from the nights you
wash your face even when you’re tired,
the mornings you add hydration
instead of skipping everything,
the commitment to show up for
your skin even when it isn’t cooperating.

The Glow Getter Kit exists
for exactly that energy:

✅ Boost ~ Bakuchiol + Vitamin C
for the days you want visible progress
✅ Blue ~ Blue Tansy + Butterfly Pea
for the days your skin needs calm
✅ Quench ~ Pomegranate + Hyaluronic Acid
for the days you’re simply doing your best

You don’t have to be perfect to glow.
You just have to stay in motion.

Choose one serum.
Choose all three.
Just choose you —
even on the messy days.

Your skin. Your peace. Your turn.

Saturday’s aren’t for catching up…
they’re for coming back to yourself.
Pour the tea, light the candle,
let the world wait a little.

This is your reminder to move slow,
breathe deep and do something
that feels good in your skin.

Spend some time with yourself,
for yourself… maybe that looks like
finally scheduling the massage.

Hi friend...

Is your skin starting to feel the season shift?
That dry air and chilly wind sneak up fast...
and suddenly your skin is craving
all the softness it can get.

This weekend’s facials are all about slowing down and
giving your skin that extra dose of comfort
it’s been asking for.
Think: warm towels, gentle massage,
and our soothing skincare
made to calm and deeply hydrate.
It’s the kind of care that leaves you
glowing and grounded,
not just polished.

If your skin’s been feeling a little reactive
or just in need of a reset,
come cozy up for a bit of self-care time.
Let’s soothe the edges, bring back that dewy calm,
and give your skin a chance to breathe again before winter fully sets in.

Spots are limited and they always go quick.

Feeling this all over lately…
the call to get honest…
to clear the fog…
to come back to balance.

This Libra new moon isn’t about chasing perfection… it’s about seeing things for what they really are and choosing what actually supports peace.

Where I’ve been over-giving… I’m pulling back.
Where I’ve been standing on shaky ground… I’m rebuilding.
Let balance be my boundary and grace my guide.

May this new moon steady my foundation… clear my vision… and remind me that alignment feels better than approval ever will.

Clarity is peace. Boundaries are love. I rise from solid ground.

If you’ve been feeling the same… take a moment tonight.
Light a candle, breathe deep, and ask yourself what feels true… what feels heavy… what needs to shift.
Then let the rest fall away.
