It is National Cuddle Up Day! So letβs do a quick Swatch and Learn! #letsswatchandlearn π€π Did you know that snuggling releases oxytocin? Oxytocin, is a hormone βthe love hormoneβ, which aside from making us feel good and comforted, also reduces pain, and helps lower blood pressure, anxiety, and levels of the stress hormone, cortisol. So get your snug on! Or hug someone (a friend, family member, petβ¦), hugs can be just as beneficial! (Do keep in mind we are still in a pandemic, so hug responsibly π) BONUS FACT: Oxytocin is also the hormone that stimulates the uterine muscles to contract during childbirth. There is a manufactured/synthetic version called Pitocin, which is used to induce labor or to move labor along when medically necessary. Swatch is from a couple of years ago, of the @colouredraine Lovelies Palette, which is no longer available. They do, however, have other beautiful palettes, including three new ones that I definitely recommend, so go check them out (link in bio)!
