You Need This Filson x Juniper Ridge Candle in Your Life

you need this filson x juniper ridge candle in your life 1
We at The Manual are a little obsessed with Juniper Ridge. And we have equally strong feelings about Filson. Though the companies do great things in different arenas they found common ground, literally, in the Pacific Northwest, home to the accessories brand and hometown of the wilderness perfume company founder, Hall Newbegin. And out of that love for the picturesque region, they collaborated on a candle that smells just like the surrounding forests. As in exactly like them because, true to their other offerings, Juniper Ridge distills indigenous ingredients, like needles, sap and bark harvested from Sitka Spruce, Western Red Cedar, Douglas Fir, foraged during camping trips to the wilds of Washington state. So light the custom braided wick of the 100% beeswax candle and picture yourself surrounded by picturesque (and rain-soaked) woodlands. Both brands have loads of die-hard fans, so consider snapping up this limited edition candle stat. And while you’re at it, get a few as holiday gifts for nature-loving loved ones.

In the lunar calendar, January 22, 2023, heralded the new year and the transition to the Year of the Water Rabbit, bringing new beginnings and good fortune. According to the Chinese zodiac, the sign of the Rabbit is associated with peace, gentleness, and longevity. Rabbits are also closely linked to the moon, possibly because the dark markings on its surface resemble a rabbit or hare. Those born in 1927, 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011, or 2023 are considered Rabbits, and are said to enjoy extra luck this year. Whether or not you were born under the sign of these long-eared hoppers, now is a great time to meditate on rebirth, the coming year, and what you hope to bring into your life. A new fragrance puts an exciting spin on your routine and can even turn your thoughts to the joy of springtime and maybe even starting a garden; these six scents (a lucky number for Rabbits) explore different sides of the Rabbit mystique. Hop to it.

Buzzy skincare words pop up constantly, and social media has made it easier than ever to start trends (hello, skin cycling). However, one ingredient of the moment, hyaluronic acid, may have some validity to it — and staying power. The ingredient that proponents swear by for moisturizing and anti-aging benefits was a $7.94 billion industry in 2021 and is projected to reach $20.01 billion by 2030. 

Buzz doesn’t equate to effectiveness, though. What is hyaluronic acid precisely, and does it live up to the hype as a must-have ingredient for your skincare regimen? Let’s go further than skin-deep to explore hyaluronic acid benefits, research, and whether or not it's worth finding products with this trending ingredient in them.
