Inside the Heart of Tempted Temple
“Learn how to see. Realize that everything connects to everything.” -Leonardo da Vinci
The human body can seem compartmentalized; cells, tissue, organs, and systems that all perform unique functions are easy to separate in our minds. We simply forget, or don’t realize, that the body is made of cellular systems that work together to build an entity or organism. When one system is thriving or struggling, it impacts the rest of the body. For example, sleep deprivation caused by stress can throw off blood sugar regulation, which can then disrupt the endocrine (hormonal) system. Often, the root of a symptom is layers deep. It is not a stretch to believe that a past emotional trauma correlates with menstrual or fertility issues. Everything connects to everything.
Just as each part of the body is interconnected, we believe that our overall health can be impacted by any area of our lives. How we spend our time, how we fuel our body, and where we focus our attention all play a part in our general wellness. We must understand that, much like the parts of the human body, each lifestyle category is connected to the others. When creating Tempted Temple, we highlighted four content categories; Health, Home, Haute, and Husbandry. These pillars of our brand work together to form the foundation of our lifestyle.
Health
Our health category captures all things physical and mental health related. With so much information floating around, our goal is to bring you the most important topics in the simplest form, including but not limited to proper food preparation informed by ancient wisdom, how to read food labels and spot gimmicky advertising, supplement management, cold, sauna, and light therapeutics, stress relief, motivation, sleep conditioning, practical workouts, and getting your family on board for it all.
Home
The home is the foundation for success. This category includes design and organization for the whole house with a goal of wellness for us and for the planet; from layouts, appliance recommendations, floral arrangements straight from the garden, repurposing, entertaining, non-toxic and eco-friendly material selection for products such as paint, fabric, dinnerware, decor, and cleaning supplies, all the way to EMF, water, and air system solutions!
Haute
We all know that haute couture means “high” fashion, but what if we looked at what “high” stands for differently? Here we explore higher standards and morals regarding how materials, products, and techniques used in the fashion and beauty industries impact nature and our bodies. You will find tips for dressing for a hybrid lifestyle (whether from gym to office, or farm to school pick-up), healing rituals and recipes, chemical-free beauty products, and non-heat hair hacks. In other words, be Haute – but with Heart!
Husbandry
Husbandry is the care for crops and animals. In this category, we dive into all things farm and garden. We share suggestions for urban areas, beginners, and even the most experienced folk. We will discuss why we shouldn’t be scared of beekeeping, the definition of bio-dynamics, how to ferment chicken food, planting food as landscape, when to plant, the best brands for work boots, and the hottest garden gloves you’ve ever seen!
These 4 focus areas of Tempted Temple are designed to work in tandem to cultivate a life where your entire family can flourish. The items we purchase, the foods we eat, and the choices we make, all work together to create a healthy lifestyle. We will approach each topic from a position of curiosity and optimism, because each small change makes a difference! Thank you for joining us on this journey.
