Celebrating World Laughter Day with Intention, 4th May 2025 When did we forget how to laugh?We track our steps. We meditate. We count calories. But when was the last time you had a real, soul-shaking laugh—the kind that lifts your energy and clears your mind? We often think of wellness in terms of nutrition, fitness, and mindfulness. But laughter? It rarely makes the list. And yet, laughter is one of the most powerful—and overlooked—wellness tools available to us. Every first Sunday of May, World Laughter Day calls us back to that truth. Not just to celebrate humor—but to intentionally invite joy back into our lives. “The human race has only one really effective weapon, and that is laughter.” Mark Twain Laughter doesn’t just feel good. It is scientifically proven to: Laughter is a physical, emotional, and spiritual release.It is mindfulness in motion. “Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.” Thich Nhat Hanh Try This Today: “Laughter is an instant vacation.” Milton Berle Take the Joy Challenge This Week: Let’s Make Laughter a Lifestyle In a world that can feel heavy and hurried, laughter is your permission to feel light again.

May 1st is International Labour Day, celebrated in over 160 countries, including Rwanda. Its roots trace back to the late 19th century, when working conditions were extremely demanding: six-day workweeks, 12-hour shifts, and little to no space for rest or personal life. Through courage and collective action, workers demanded something radical for their time: the right to an eight-hour workday, creating space not only for productivity but also for life itself. Although the system no longer requires such harsh conditions, the culture of overwork persists today. Many now labour beyond the eight-hour norm—not out of obligation but driven by life’s rhythm, ambitions, or economic pressure. That’s why this day of pause is so important. At Belleza, we see this not just as a holiday, but as a moment to honor the truth that wellness and work must walk hand in hand. So, as you take a well-deserved break—and we hope you do—we invite you to see today as more than just a day off. It’s a moment to recharge, reflect, and begin again, better. Labour is demanding. While it may not always get easier, the way we labour can evolve. Whether you are cultivating the land under the sun or navigating back-to-back meetings in heels, labour teaches us to work—and in the process, we grow. We learn to work smarter, lead with compassion, show up with intention, and bring others along the way. Yet, growth does not come without strain. As part of that same journey, we also experience fatigue, juggle overlapping responsibilities, and race to meet deadlines. Still, we find a way to make it through the day—and for that, today, we pause in gratitude. Labour also feeds us, clothes us, builds our dreams, and enables us to contribute to our families, our communities, and our growth. This pause is not idle. It is a moment to reflect. When we create space for our minds and bodies, we begin to notice not only what’s exhausting us, but why. And from there, we can begin to make things better. This isn’t just about improving productivity—it’s about building a more empathetic, human, and wellness-centered work culture. It might look like:– Finally starting a wellness ritual—five minutes of breathwork, one screen-free hour a day, or a peaceful walk after a workday .– Extending support to someone else, whether it’s offering help, encouragement, or simply showing up.– Rethinking one draining task, and finding a way to make it more manageable, meaningful, or joyful.– Truly listening to a teammate, especially someone whose voice is often overlooked. Because we do return to work. And when we do, we carry our energy back into the world—into the growth of businesses, families, and societies. Today, we also express gratitude to the systems, leaders, and employers who help make balance possible. It’s through joint effort that we get to enjoy this day at all. Work-life balance doesn’t happen in isolation. When workplaces recognize that well-being is not separate from performance, they build cultures where workers thrive, not just survive. To every worker reading this: may you find rest, may your efforts be recognized, and may your labour, whether physical or intellectual, be recognized, valued, and fulfilling. Because work coupled with rest sustains our wellness. And our wellness matters. Happy Labour Day from all of us at Belleza—where we honor the beauty of both work and rest. #LabourDay2025 #WellnessAtWork #RechargeReflectReturn #BellezaWellness Belleza Team.

A Cup of Peace: Rediscovering Tea for Wellness & Mindfulness in Rwanda In Celebration of National Tea Day – April 21 Every year on April 21, the world unites around a simple, soul-soothing ritual: tea. National Tea Day, a tradition born in the United Kingdom, has blossomed into a global celebration of calm, connection, and culture. Yet in Rwanda, this day holds an especially tender meaning. Here, tea is more than a beverage—it is a way of life. It grows from our soil and flows through our stories. In the hills of Nyabihu and the homes of Kigali, tea is brewed not just for taste but for healing, reflection, and belonging. It is poured in quiet moments and shared during deep conversations. It is both ancient and alive. As we observe this day, we’re invited to remember what tea teaches us: to slow down, to reconnect, and to restore. To sit still long enough to breathe. To taste simplicity. To come home to ourselves. Drinking tea together is an act of intimacy and respect. It is how we say: I see you. I honour you. I share this moment with you.” – The Potentialist Each herb, each leaf, carries its own whisper of wellness. When you steep mindfully, you’re not simply making tea—you’re preparing medicine. Whether it is peppermint easing digestion, moringa boosting immunity, or chamomile welcoming sleep, each infusion has a mission. A purpose. A gift. In Rwanda, tea lives in the rhythm of our culture. It echoes in grandmother’s remedies, in community gatherings, in healing hands that cultivate our land. It is wellness passed from one generation to the next, steeped in intention and shared with love. When you make tea, you’re doing more than preparing a cup. You’re practicing self-care. You’re upholding cultural legacy. You’re extending connection—to yourself, to others, to something greater. Whether it’s lemongrass steeped at dawn or a calming blend before bed, every brew is a quiet revolution. A return to presence. Even without farmland, your home can be a sanctuary. A few pots on a balcony. A windowsill of rosemary. A garden of mint and lavender. Healing doesn’t need acres—it needs attention. And when you grow your own herbs, you’re tending to more than plants. You’re nurturing your own peace. So today, let’s gather around the teapot. Let us brew, not just for taste—but for wisdom, wellness, and wonder. Let us raise teacups instead of champagne flutes and declare: in Rwanda, tea is not just grown—it is lived. May your next cup be a sacred pause. A breath. A ritual of remembrance:– Light a candle.– Boil your water.– Hold your cup.– Inhale the steam.– Sip slowly, as if sipping peace itself. Because tea is not just something we drink. It is how we come home to ourselves. How we restore balance. How we celebrate life’s simplicity and reconnect with the sacred moments we so often rush past. “Drink your tea slowly and reverently, as if it is the axis on which the world earth revolves.” — Thich Nhat Hanh Dusangire icyayi, dusangire ituze.(Let’s share tea. Let’s share peace.) Belleza Team
