Introducing: The Sugar House Pleasure Box

I’m not gonna mince words here: it’s been a tough year to stay cool, mentally and emotionally speaking. I bet that’s true for many of us (maybe even most of us?). Here at Sugar House, our mission is to help you find peace and balance in the turbulence of daily life. But it’s not always simple to do so.

Personally, this last year has really put a light on the things that matter, and the nature of impermanence. I’ve learned to let things go—to understand things as they are and not they way I want them to be. There’s some freedom in that, but that way of thinking also comes with a cost. What about the situations where the way things are and the way we want them to be are very, very different realities?

In those situations, how do we find balance?

I don’t have all the answers. But one thing I do know is that balance is most attainable in small moments. You’re not going to feel balanced all day, every day (and if you do? Call me and tell me your secret!!). But you can feel it for a moment, a minute, an hour or two.

For me, the moment things seem foggy is when expectations—of other people, of cultural norms, of myself—come in to play. I find my most balanced, pleasurable moments when I’m alone. On a nature walk, cooking dinner, in the tub for a soak. Moments that pair well with an introspective smoke session, naturally.

To help you find your balance, Sugar House put together a monthly offering we like to call the “Pleasure Box.” It’s a curated selection of goodies, tools, and toys for your quiet time—whatever that looks like for you.

Our first box includes…

• Sugar House Herbal Blend of red raspberry leaf, rose, and damiana

• A Golden Hour candle

• A ceramic pipe and dish

• A vibrator from Maude

• A stash bag from Ivy House

• Plus other goodies yet to be announced!

PS — hang in there. You’ve got this.
