LUI Ritual: Stefanie Breschi
Here at LUI, we love the idea of rituals: those little everyday practices that help you feel calm, centred and whole. We believe shaving deserves to be part of this self-care routine. In celebration of mindful moments, the LUI Ritual series asks friends of the brand about their own positive habits and how they elevate their day.
HI, MY NAME IS… Stefanie Breschi.
BUT EVERYONE CALLS ME… Stef.
WHEN I WAS GROWING UP I DREAMED OF BEING… a barrister.
BUT NOW I WORK AS… Managing Director of Suupaa and Future Future.
THE FIRST THING I DO WHEN I WAKE UP IS… twenty minutes of Vedic meditation.
THE LAST SONG I PLAYED ON SPOTIFY… 'Besoka on Salsa' – Manu Dibango.
MY MORNING ROUTINE IS…
1. Vedic meditation.
2. Cuddles in bed with my Cocker Spaniel, Paloma.
3. Coffee delivered by my husband.
4. On weekends, I linger in bed with a magazine – anything from The Economist to Apartamento.
5. Either a dog walk, yoga, or straight into the shower: teeth, hair, skincare.
6. A shot of coconut milk kefir with high potency fish oil tablets before walking out the door.
THE PERFUME I SPRAY ON RIGHT BEFORE I LEAVE THE HOUSE IS… I roll scent-free.
MY COFFEE ORDER IS… oat magic.
THROUGHOUT MY DAY I FIND JOY IN… any chance to get creative – and celebrating team wins.
MY LUNCH ORDER IS… a donburi and steamed bun from Suupaa.
MY 3PM PICK-ME-UP IS… T.I.N.A sparkling tea. I love the original 1.0 – made with tea, botanicals, fruit, herbs and flowers.
AFTER A LONG DAY I SWITCH OFF BY… hot yoga or Pilates. Or, if I need a slower night, burning incense and palo santo and running a hot bath with Epsom salts.
THE LAST BOOK I COULDN’T PUT DOWN… Principles: Life & Work by Ray Dalio.
MY NIGHTTIME ROUTINE IS…
1. Yoga or Pilates.
2. Cook a nourishing meal.
3. Catch up on work (cut-off is 10pm, non-negotiable).
4. Shower, skincare, teeth. I swear by Emma Lewisham products for treating melasma.
5. Wind down with a book and very occasionally I love to pull a tarot card.
THE LAST THING I DO BEFORE BED IS… Read fiction to quiet my brain. Then, before lights out, I always take a moment to feel grateful – usually for my husband and dog, both already asleep beside me, and for my health.
YOU CAN FIND ME ONLINE AT... @SUUPAA___ and @FUTURE.FUTURE.
