ROUTINES & RITUALS
Did you know, that 40% of the day is made up of habits? And there we were thinking each day held unique promise. We took a poll in the office, and - not surprisingly - most of ours involved jewellery.
6AM
WAKEY WAKEY
Jewellery should be the last thing you put on in the morning, and the first thing you take off in the evening - avoiding any creams or chemicals that could tarnish. Adding a ring here and a chain there is our favourite ritual before heading out the door - think of it as your armour for the day.

We love gemstones and whether you believe in their properties or not, the ritual of wearing them soothes us. Plus playing with your jewellery throughout the day is believed to bring comfort - weird, but true.
MORE MISSOMA HQ TIPS:
- Make a list of your priorities - nothing’s more
satisfying than ticking them off - Channel positive energy with self-affirmations or a gratitude journal
- Take 5 minutes away from your desk and remember 'you've got this'

9PM
TAKE THE DAY OFF
Skincare routines are essential for a reason. The ultimate wind-down before bed, go one step further and use a Gua-sha tool, a gemstone you sweep across your face. Remove your jewellery and take the time to store it away for another day.

Skincare routines are en Vogue for a reason. The ultimate wind-down before bed, go one step further, and use a Gua-sha tool, a Gemstone you sweep across your face—a Gemstone you sweep across your face.
