A Morning Walk With June: My Favorite Slow Start (And What I Bring Along)
There’s something so calming about our early walks. Before emails. Before clients. Just fresh air, the sound of paws on pavement, and that first sip of my iced coffee in my favorite tumbler.
These little moments with June have become a ritual I rely on—and they’ve taught me that self-care doesn’t have to be a whole production. Sometimes it’s just being present with your dog, your breath, and a good drink.
Why This Morning Ritual Matters
It gets me outside first thing (sunlight = natural mood boost)
It grounds me before a busy day in the spa
It’s the one time I let myself not multitask
It helps me stay hydrated (or caffeinated, depending on the day)
🥤 What I Always Bring With Me: My Stanley Cup
Yes, it’s viral—but for good reason. I bring my Stanley Quencher every single morning.

Why I love it:
The handle makes it easy to carry (even while juggling a leash + poop bag 🐶)
The straw is a game-changer when I switch to cold drinks
It fits in my car cupholder for post-walk errands
Plus… it’s cute. And the Mother’s Day edition is extra sweet! I truly love this vibrant design and pattern.
Little Additions That Make It Feel Special:
A reusable dog bag dispenser clipped to my cup handle
My favorite calming playlist
A splash of oat milk + honey in my iced tea (obsessed lately)
Final Thoughts
June doesn’t care what cup I use. But I’ve found that when I bring along things I love—whether it’s a special tumbler or a cozy jacket—it turns a simple dog walk into a wellness ritual.
And honestly, it’s the slow starts like this that keep me grounded as a solo spa owner, esthetician, and human just trying to move through the day!
