As the temps rise, I always get that itch to refresh my closet, but I'm not into spending a ton on pieces that I'll only wear once.
That's why I'm loving Quince.
I got the Italian plunge ribbed one -piece swimsuit and let me tell you, it is so flattering.
It's not one of those frumpy one -pieces.
It's cute, well -made, and I actually feel good wearing it.
Quince just gets it.
They've got 100 % European linen shorts Shorts and dresses from $30.
Luxe swimwear. Italian leather platform sandals.
All of it feels high -end, but at half the cost of similar brands.
That's because Quince works directly with top artisans and cuts out the middleman, so you get luxury without the markup.
I use Quince, and I'm telling you, you should too.
Give your summer closet an upgrade with Quince.

Hi there. Welcome back to Radioheadspace.
I'm Dora. Today, I invite you to take on a new perspective in the way you interact and perceive nature.
Now, we all know that flowers are aesthetically pleasing.
There are different hues of color, unique shapes, and petals.
But did you also know that every single flower on this earth carries a property of healing, and each flower has a purpose that can be used for the evolution of our souls?
Stay with me here I know this sounds out there but in the past two years I've been working closely with flowers and learning how the essence of flowers can be a catalyst for self -transformation and change.
This all began after a spiritual teacher of mine shared that flowers can hold specific healing properties for the inhabitants around them almost like a personal herbal pharmacy And what we get out of nature really comes down to our relationship with it.
How do you relate to flowers, plants, birds, and the bees?
What is your relationship to the earth?
This living, breathing, spinning planet is something that we're not only just inhabitants of, but also stewards.
As much as the earth takes care of us, we also have a role in taking care of her.
And over the years, mindfulness has really changed the way I commune and engage with the natural world Rather than just taking from it, starting to realize how nature is an extension of myself And when I take care of it, I'm also learning to take care of myself I recently moved to LA and I'm lucky enough to be in a part of the city where I'm close to nature So every morning I try my best to get outside for a walk knowing what my teacher had shared about having this local pharmacy of flowers I decided to do a walking meditation one morning and observe the different flowers in my vicinity a few
blocks from my apartment there's these beautiful long purple flowers that grow in a bush the pride of Madera flowers they attract butterflies bees and hummingbirds and if you look at them in the sunlight they emit this glowing indigo radiance.
When I got home I searched online for the properties of these flowers and lo and behold, the Pride of Madeira flower carries the intention of self -acceptance.
It can help you to feel at home in your surroundings and turn towards those aspects of yourself that are unique and help you to find beauty in your individuality.
As someone who's spending time getting used to a new neighborhood, and a new country for that matter.
Learning about these flowers gave me a sense of connection to my surroundings.
I felt comforted knowing that the Pride of Madeira flowers were there, welcoming me and anyone finding a home in my neighborhood.
Did I pick where I lived based on the flowers?
No. But somehow, they knew what I was needing.
And there's a lot that we can learn from flowers.
In Buddhism, flowers are associated with impermanence.
I'm sure we've all lived through the life cycle of a beautiful bouquet.
One day it's in full bloom and the next day it's wilted and dry.
Still beautiful nonetheless.
I encourage you to take yourself out on a mindful walk and see what flowers are near you.
Or close to your home.
And if not flowers, even plants.
thankfully there's so many plant identification apps so you can take a photo and when you get back home search for the flower you found and see if you can find the essence of it see if that essence relates to you and take a few moments to reflect on what aspects of your life the properties of the flower can be applied to we'll leave a list of those plant identification notification apps in the show notes.
You can share your insights with me over on Instagram at Dora Kamau.
I'm so curious to see and hear what you found in your neighborhood.
If you need some inspo for getting on that mindful walk, head over to the Headspace app and try out one of our mindful walking meditations.
Thank you so much for joining me today.
Be well and take care.
Thank you.
